Upredict
Upredict is a prediction platform that operated at upredict.co.uk, allowing users to forecast outcomes on events including politics, sports, and current affairs. It was operated by uPredict Limited, a company that has since surrendered its UKGC licence and been dissolved. The operator's trust grade of D and dissolved company status raise serious concerns for any prospective users.
About
Upredict describes itself as a prediction platform where users make forecasts on events ranging from politics to sport, earning points and competing on leaderboards. According to their website, it functioned as a betting exchange-style service. The domain was registered in August 2020 and has been active for around five years.
The operator behind the site, uPredict Limited, surrendered its UKGC licence and the company has since been dissolved. With no active licences listed and the operating company no longer in existence, Upredict doesn't appear to be a functioning, regulated service. Consumers should treat this as a closed or defunct platform.
The site scores an F on domain technical assessments, with no SSL certificate information on record and limited DNS security protections. Only SPF is configured, while DKIM, DMARC, and DNSSEC are all absent.

What Users Say
Upredict has only four reviews on Trustpilot with an average score of 4.0 out of 5. This is too small a sample to draw meaningful conclusions about the platform's reliability or customer service. The low volume of reviews is consistent with a platform that operated at limited scale before closing.
Common Themes
With only four reviews and no breakdown of individual ratings or topic summaries available, it isn't possible to identify recurring themes from user feedback.
Regulatory Context
There are no enforcement actions on record to cross-reference with user feedback. The operator's dissolution and licence surrender are the more significant signals here, rather than any regulatory findings.

UKGC Licence Status
uPredict Limited held a UKGC licence that has since been surrendered. There are no active licences currently associated with the operator. A Remote Betting licence would have permitted the operator to offer betting services to UK customers, but with the licence surrendered, no regulated gambling activity is authorised.
Regulatory Actions
The operator has no recorded regulatory actions. While uPredict Limited surrendered its UKGC licence, this was not the result of a formal enforcement case. The UKGC has not published any fines or sanctions against this operator.
Site Assessment
Licensed Operator
uPredict Limited was incorporated on 25 August 2020 and registered in Plymouth. It obtained a UKGC licence in June 2021, around ten months after incorporation. The operator's licence status is now Surrendered, meaning the company voluntarily gave up its authorisation to offer gambling services in the UK.
Companies House records confirm that uPredict Limited is now dissolved, which means the company no longer legally exists. Any customer funds or disputes would have no clear route to resolution through the operator. This is a material concern for anyone who has had dealings with the platform.
