Leisure and Gaming

Leisure and Gaming plc was formerly a holding company listed on the London Stock Exchange with major assents in the global interactive betting and gaming industry. Its interests spanned from Software development to marketing. Financial difficulties lead to the holding company's collapse.[1]

Leisure and Gaming plc was incorporated in England and Wales in August 2004. Its registered holders are BNY Norwich Union Nominees Ltd, Chase GA Group Nominees Ltd, Chase Nominees Ltd, CUIM Nominee Ltd, and Vidacos Nominees Ltd.

In October 2006, after passage of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006, the company sold its US-facing business including vip.com and nine.com to a private group for $1, and no longer accepts wagers from US residents.[2]
