About Betfred

Betfred is the great independent of British bookmaking: from Fred Done's first Salford shop in 1967 to roughly 1,300 high-street outlets, the Tote acquisition in 2011 and title sponsorship of rugby league's Betfred Super League — with betfred.com carrying a full UKGC-licensed online casino alongside the sportsbook.

Unlike every other UK name of its size, Betfred never floated: the Done brothers kept it. Companies House filings show the family organising succession through trusts, but ownership remains squarely with Fred and Peter Done — which makes Betfred the largest family-owned bookmaker in the country.

The online casino's licence-holder is Petfre (Gibraltar) Ltd (UKGC account 39544, remote licences since 2014), with the retail estate licensed separately. For investors the answer is simply: there is no Betfred share, and after nearly six decades of family ownership none looks likely.
