Registering your company in Gibraltar is a common practice when it comes to gambling site companies in the UK. They could eventually try to dip into that market.

From the BBC article:

  Members get live news feeds of sporting events, form their own groups and networks, follow games play-by-play, and in future will also be able to play bespoke interactive games themselves within the site.
This seems to me like they might have their eyes on fantasy leagues.

If they go for online-sport-betting site, at least they are consistent in the sense that they just put their whole family life on a single bet.
