AS8652 PETFRE-AS
Unclassified RIPE
Summary
Petfre (Betfred)
enterprise legacy
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 asGI-PETFRE-DCand 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.
Petfreis 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.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 431 networks and 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
