About this network

Petfre (Gibraltar) Limited (PETFRE-AS) — the Gibraltar-licensed operating company behind Betfred, the British bookmaker. The AS carries the company's own gaming infrastructure.

What it's used for

• A single 194.164.146.0/24, registered as GI-PETFRE-DC and described plainly in the registry as "Betfred Gibraltar Datacentre". This is corporate infrastructure for an online betting platform: roughly 256 addresses, no customer space, no subscriber pools.
• The name is opaque by design. Petfre is the legal entity, not the brand, so neither the AS name nor the handle mentions Betfred anywhere.

Notable

• Gibraltar is the point. A large share of the UK's online gambling operators hold their licences and run their platforms from Gibraltar, and several of them appear in the RIPE registry as small GI- netnames with a single /24 behind a local carrier. AS8652 is a textbook example of that pattern.
• Enterprise, not hosting: the address space serves one company's own applications rather than being sold to third parties.

Interesting

• The AS number is low but the assignment is not early — the RIPE object dates from 2010, and the organisation object from 2024, so this is a reissued number rather than an early-internet allocation.
