Material uncertainty over going concern
Uncertainties around the impact of the current economic situation are difficult to predict, especially in light of safer gambling regulations and the focus thereon within industry regulators. Although a fundable rent arrears repayment plan with landlords has now been formally agreed and executed post year end with the additional short term funding received from shareholders, the company is reliant on the continued support from shareholders and continued deferment of loan repayments, which, although confirmed by the shareholders, is not legally binding. As a result, a material uncertainty exists that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the company to continue as a going concern. The financial statements include no adjustments that might be necessary if the company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Significant events
- “In December 2024, the Bristol operating site ceased trading.”
- “In January 2025, the operating lease on the Bristol premises was extended by 5 years in exchange for certain concessions relating to the period of closure during 2020 and 2021 caused by covid-19 by way of an 18 month rental holiday being given and a repayment plan agreed and executed in respect of rent accrued but not invoiced.”
- “In April 2025, the company received loans of £750,000 from the shareholders in order to fund the repayment of accrued rent in respect of the Bristol site and costs associated with its closure, with repayments to be commenced at a future date after a review of the cash position in January 2026.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
