About Rank Interactive – Full Guide
Who Are Rank Interactive?
Rank Interactive (Gibraltar) Limited is the company that operates the online gambling services for Mecca Bingo, Grosvenor Casinos and several other UK brands. It is not a consumer brand you will see advertised; it is the licensed operator behind the scenes.
The company is part of The Rank Group plc, a UK-listed entertainment and gaming business that also owns the land-based Mecca bingo halls and Grosvenor casino venues. The digital arm only handles online operations. The physical venues are managed separately.
The current Managing Director is Andrew Peat, appointed in November 2023 and based in Gibraltar.
What Do Rank Interactive Do?
When you play at any of these sites, this is the operator responsible for your account, funds handling and compliance. The brand name on the website is different, but the licensed operator behind it is the same.
Rank Interactive handles player accounts, funds, KYC and anti-money laundering checks, safer gambling tools, and regulatory reporting for all brands in the network.

|---|---|
| Mecca Bingo | Heritage bingo brand on Playtech Bingo with slots and casino |
| Mecca Games | Slots and casino arm of Mecca |
| Grosvenor Casinos | Premium casino with live tables, sports and poker |

How Does Rank Interactive Protect Players?
As the licensed operator, Rank Interactive is responsible for enforcing safer gambling rules across all brands. This means running a single compliance team, keeping player funds segregated from company money, and ensuring self-exclusion at one site blocks you from all sites in the network.
If something goes wrong, the same team handles it regardless of which brand you signed up with. Complaints go to customer support first. If unresolved after 8 weeks, escalate to IBAS (independent dispute resolution) or report to the Gambling Commission.

Hold UK Gambling Licence
Rank Interactive (Gibraltar) Limited holds UKGC remote operating licence account 57924. This covers all activities offered to UK players: casino, bingo, betting and poker.
The UKGC licence means player funds are segregated from company operating funds, games are independently audited for fairness, and there is a regulator you can complain to if things go wrong. The UKGC public register lists all domains operating under this licence.
Rank Interactive UKGC Regulatory Failures
Two regulatory penalties are linked to this operator:
June 2021 – Rank Digital £700,000 settlement: The UKGC imposed this penalty on Rank's online business for safer gambling failures. Customers showing signs of problem gambling did not receive adequate checks or conversations. More than 1,400 accounts at Bella Casino and Mecca Games belonged to people who had already self-excluded with Rank, but the system still let them open and use new accounts.
October 2022 – Daub Alderney £5.8 million fine upheld: This fine was technically against Daub Alderney Limited, but Daub was already a Rank Group subsidiary (acquired via the Stride Gaming takeover in October 2019). The original penalty was issued in January 2021. The failings included letting customers spend large sums without proper source-of-funds checks, weak ongoing monitoring, and poor problem-gambling controls. The brands affected (Kitty Bingo, Lucky Pants Bingo, Magical Vegas, Lucky VIP, Regal Wins, Spin and Win) now operate under the Rank Interactive licence.
What this means for players: The regulatory history shows clear failures in cross-brand self-exclusion. If you self-exclude from one Rank Interactive site, check that you cannot still access others in the network. For comprehensive protection across all UK sites, register with Gamstop.
Stock Market Structure
The Rank Group plc is listed on the London Stock Exchange (ticker: RNK) and is part of the FTSE 250. It reports on its business as split between Venues (Grosvenor Casinos, Mecca Bingo halls, Enracha in Spain) and a Digital segment.
Rank Interactive sits within that Digital segment. The core UK remote licence is held by Rank Interactive (Gibraltar) Limited, which has its own UKGC account (57924), separate from the retail Mecca/Grosvenor venue licences but ultimately owned by Rank Group plc.
You cannot buy shares in Rank Interactive directly - it is a private subsidiary. If you want to invest in Rank Interactive's business, you buy shares in The Rank Group plc. Rank Interactive's performance is reported within Rank Group's Digital segment in their annual results.
Why We List and Track This Operator
We list Rank Interactive operated brands because we have permission from the operator and guides for several of their UK sites, including Mecca Bingo and Grosvenor Casinos. All operate under an active UKGC remote licence (account 57924), which is the baseline trust signal for any UK gambling operator.
We document this page using UKGC regulatory decisions, Companies House records and Rank's annual reports. The regulatory history, platform details and ownership chain are all from published sources.
If you played at Kitty Bingo or Lucky Pants Bingo under Daub and are thinking about coming back, the sites now run on completely different software (Rank's RIDE platform) under a different licence. That context matters more than any welcome offer.

- Has Rank Interactive been fined?

- How do I check my self-exclusion is active across all Rank Interactive brands?
Self-exclusion should take effect as soon as it is confirmed, and in theory it applies across all Rank Interactive brands on the same licence. Allow a short processing window and try to log in at sister sites to confirm you are blocked. If you can still access another Rank brand after excluding, contact support immediately and report it to the Gambling Commission.

- What should I do if I spot a compliance or safer gambling issue?
Take screenshots and note dates and times. Submit complaints in writing (email or secure form) and keep copies. Response times vary by channel and workload. If it relates to safer gambling or self-exclusion not working, raise it as a formal complaint and ask for escalation. If unresolved after 8 weeks, contact IBAS or use the Gambling Commission's tell us something in confidence route.
