⚽ The twelve names filed alongside it
One account number covers every card below and this brand with them, 54743 on licence 054743-R-330863-014, which settles the company, the permissions and the complaints route in advance. What differs between them is what each one is for. These six were read on 9 August 2026.
📋 What account 54743 lists, read twice on 17 August 2026
- Sixteen trading names, fourteen of them Active and two Inactive
- Fifteen web addresses, thirteen of them Active and two Inactive
- Zero premises, so the shops carrying two of these names are licensed somewhere else
- Six permissions on 054743-R-330863-014, all of them remote, meaning they are exercised over the web
- bwin is filed as one lower-case word, Active, against the single address bwin.com
Six are carded above and bwin.com makes seven. The other six live addresses are gamebookers.com, foxygames.com, galabingo.com, sports.sbet.com, galaspins.com and foxybingo.com. Two more are filed without anybody trading on them, both marked Inactive: www.partysports.com and cheekybingo.com.
🔍 Why a search for this brand returns two companies
Type bwin.com into the Gambling Commission business search and two companies come back. The second is ProgressPlay Limited on account 39335, and it appears only because the search matches inside words: one of its addresses is www.tebwin.com, and bwin.com sits inside that word. It is filed Inactive and it has nothing to do with this brand.
💰 What a search for bwin.com returned on 17 August 2026
- Two results, only one of them this brand
- LC International Limited, account 54743, matched on the address bwin.com
- ProgressPlay Limited, account 39335, matched on the address www.tebwin.com
- That second address is filed Inactive, and it is one of 192 that company holds
A different case on the same licence works the other way. Searching foxybingo.com also returns two results, and there both are real filings of the same address by two different companies. Here the second result is an accident of spelling. More than one result does not tell you which case you are looking at. Opening the tables does.
⏰ The fourth account in the group, and why you never see it
Three accounts in this group are easy to find. There is a fourth, and searching the public record for the word entain is the only way to reach it, because nothing is sold under it. Entain Operations Limited holds account 57408 at Suite 6, Atlantic Suites in Gibraltar, the same building LC International Limited gives as its head office. All four of its counters read zero. Nothing trades under it, no web addresses are filed against it, it holds no shops, and its actions column is empty.
📋 The five permissions on account 57408
- Betting host for real events, remote, Active since 2 February 2021
- Betting host for virtual events, remote, Active since 2 February 2021
- Game host for bingo, remote, Active since 2 February 2021
- Casino, remote, Active since 2 February 2021
- Gambling software, remote, Active since 2 February 2021
Hosting and software permissions are what a business needs in order to run gambling for somebody else rather than for itself, which is why the account has no addresses and no trading names. No customer ever arrives at it. It is also the only one of the four accounts whose company name contains the word Entain.
That account is the plainest evidence of how closely these brands are related. Two bingo brands share a prize pool, two sportsbooks print the same caution and the same clock, and a licensed host and software account sits at the same Gibraltar address as the licence holder.
🎰 How the way in runs, and what the footer names
Every other brand read on this licence opens with a form, in three or four grouped stages, with the fields stacked on top of each other. This one does not. It opens a panel and asks one thing at a time, with a progress bar across the top and a Previous control to step back.
✅ The five screens, one question at a time, read 9 August 2026
- Welcome: country of residence, preset to United Kingdom, and an email address. No currency question and no password here
- Introduction: a title, a first name and a last name, under a line asking for them as they appear on an identity document
- Date of birth: three boxes labelled DD, MM and YYYY, with a note that the entry is used for an age check and for password recovery
- Mobile: a dialling-code selector and a number, under a line saying calls are for security
- Address: one lookup field taking a postcode or a first line, with a manual entry link beneath it, described as being for verification only
Two things stand out beside the sister brands. Every screen after the opener carries a sentence saying why the field is being asked for, which no other form on this licence does. And the opening screen leaves out the currency selector that the three other brands read here put directly beside country, and pairs no password with the email.
The licensing line at the foot of the page is the standard one for this account. It names LC International Limited as operator, gives the regulator, prints 54743 and turns that number into a link into the public record. What is unusual is the column above it. The footer runs five headings and one of them is Company, listing an affiliate programme, investor relations, careers, a sports blog, a casino blog and a link labelled simply Entain. Neither the Gala footer nor the Foxy one names the parent at all.
Under that sits the same in-play caution Sportingbet carries, a clock printing the current time to the second, and the copyright year. The compliance marks are the same eight every brand on this account displays: an 18 plus roundel, GAMSTOP, the GamCare helpline number, Take Time to Think, IBAS, Gordon Moody under a therapy line, GambleAware and the regulator itself.
💰 What the counters leave out
Nothing is recorded against 54743, and putting bwin into the enforcement list returns nothing either. Both are statements in the present tense about a licence that has not lapsed. Set against that, the group carries two announced settlement packages, one from 31 July 2019 and one from 17 August 2022, worth £22.9 million added together. The earlier one replaced a financial penalty and carried divested profit alongside it. The later one was directed at socially responsible purposes and brought added licence conditions and an audit requirement with it.
Neither package names this brand. Packages name licensees, and brands are trading names hanging off them, so a settlement can land on the company operating a website without the website appearing in the paperwork. LC International Limited is named in the second of the two.
- ✅ Safe: Reading all twelve names as one company, one licence number and one route for a complaint.
- ❌ Costly: Reading the second search result as a second operator of this brand.
