Overview
Gambling Connection: WORLD HORSE WELFARE appears in our database because it's linked to an active UKGC-licensed operator of the same name, which has held a gambling licence since May 2009 and remains in good standing.
WORLD HORSE WELFARE is a private company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 24 October 2017 and registered at Anne Colvin House, Snetterton. It's classified under SIC codes covering horse farming and other social services, and it's linked to a UKGC-licensed operator that has held a gambling licence since May 2009, giving it over 16 years of licensed gambling activity.
With a company score of 88 (Grade A), WORLD HORSE WELFARE sits firmly in the well-established category.
