BetFred.com Listing Itself It may not be a household name for some, but in the online casino and land-based betting industry, BetFred is one of the largest companies in the UK that offers a range of bookie services. The company is at the top of its game, has a wide range of products and services, boasts a great reputation, and has recently taken the necessary steps to list itself on the London Stock Exchange.
The company was one of the firsts in the market, rather than some of the upstart companies that have only joined the betting and booking industry as a part of the online casino industry. Founded in 1967 as a land-based operation, the company has grown and expanded its services as technology has increased from a family owned operation to a billion dollar company with more that 5,000 employees. Ranked among Ladbrokes, William Hill, and Coral, the burgeoning online casinos betting industry seems the perfect time to list on the London AIM.
Recent changes in the UK gambling regulations, specifically the Gambling Act that goes into effect next months may spur BetFred to license itself in Gibraltar rather than maintain the current license in the Dutch Antilles. This move would protect the company from some of the upcoming regulations placed on UK based online casino and betting companies regarding advertising restrictions.
Speculations right now within the online casinos industry allege that the listing on the London Stock Exchange is imminent, and some are even attaching NM Rothschild to the company in an advisory role.
