Scored on the register alone. Safer gambling tool coverage and RTP disclosure are only counted for operators we have tested directly, and this one has not been tested yet, so those weights are excluded rather than guessed. How the score works

The enforcement component carries the most weight and it is what moves this figure: £0 in penalties across 1 decision published since September 2023, weighted towards the most recent. A British licence held for 18 years takes licence tenure to full marks. No licence has been revoked, so licence standing is unaffected.

What the Gambling Commission has published about Harry Smith and Elsie Blockley Smith

Each entry below is a published decision, reproduced from the Commission's register of regulatory actions as read on 11 August 2026. Wording is the Commission's, not ours.

This is not the company's full enforcement history. The Commission withdraws a decision from the register three years after it is published, so what appears here — and every total on this page — covers decisions from September 2023 onwards. Penalties issued before then, including some of the largest in the Commission's history, are no longer on the register and are not counted. How this window affects the score.
