Overview
Operator Type: Gambling software supplier
IGS Holdings Limited was a business-to-business supplier that held a licence from the Gambling Commission (UKGC). The company's licence, which allowed it to supply gambling software, was first granted on 6 April 2017. It no longer holds an active licence as its status is now recorded as Surrendered.
The operator is associated with a UK company named IGS HOLDINGS LIMITED. Public records from Companies House show a significant discrepancy. The company was incorporated on 5 June 2006 but was officially dissolved on 21 October 2014, more than two years before the UKGC licence was granted. This means the operator held its licence while its associated corporate entity was dissolved.
The directors of the dissolved company are listed as James Stephen SMITHERS and Stephen Michael SMITHERS, both of whom are British nationals. There are no persons with significant control listed for the company. The operator has no recorded history of regulatory actions or fines from the UKGC during its licensed period.
Where Is This Operator Based?
Understanding where an operator is based matters for regulatory accountability. UK-based operators are subject to UK courts and consumer protection laws.
This operator is headquartered in Isle of Man, a jurisdiction with established gambling regulation. British Crown Dependencies maintain high regulatory standards aligned with UK principles. While not UK-based, the UKGC licence ensures UK consumer protections apply.
