Overview

Operator Type: Land-based betting operator

College Racing (Beckenham) Limited is a land-based betting operator that previously held a licence from the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC). The company's licence status is now Surrendered, which means it's no longer authorised to offer gambling services in Great Britain. It first obtained a licence on 16 August 2019 and operated under the trading name College Racing.

The operating company, COLLEGE RACING (BECKENHAM) LIMITED, was incorporated in the UK on 12 November 1998. It's directed by Peter David Martinelli and Peter Gerard Martinelli, both of whom are British nationals residing in the United Kingdom. According to Companies House records, the company's beneficial owner is Mr Peter Gerard Martinelli, who holds between 75% and 100% of the shares.

The operator held two types of licences before they were surrendered. These were a General Betting Standard licence and a General Betting Limited licence, which typically cover betting services provided at physical, on-course or off-course premises. The company doesn't have an online presence and focuses entirely on land-based operations.

There are no recorded regulatory actions or fines against College Racing (Beckenham) Limited by the UKGC. Its history is free from public enforcement, but its decision to surrender its licence means it can't legally operate in the UK market any longer.
