Rank Group Review for 2024
The Rank Group, operating its online division under the legal name Rank Interactive (Gibraltar) Limited, is an online gambling firm that is best known for running its Grosvenor and Mecca brick-and-mortar casino and bingo venues across the United Kingdom. However, the group, which was founded back in 1937, also runs a series of online casino and bingo websites, all of which have remained popular among players in the UK.
The operator currently holds three licenses; the UK by the Gambling Commission, Spain by the Comision Nacional del Juego, and Gibraltar by the Gibraltar Gambling Commission. What’s more, several of Rank Interactive’s websites have received awards, showcasing just how successful the operator’s brands are.
Rank Group Casinos
As we’ve mentioned, Rank Interactive runs its brick-and-mortar Grosvenor Casino and Mecca Bingo venues. Alongside the venues, Rank runs online versions of those brands, and its runs several other online casino and bingo websites, including Bella Casino, Kitty Bingo, Lucky VIP, Lucky Pants Bingo, Regal Wins, Rialto Casino, Spin And Win, and The Vic, many of which have been praised by reviewers and customers. Some of the brands have won awards too, including WhichBingo’s Best Mobile Bingo Site for Mecca Bingo in 2020, WhichBingo’s Best Customer Service for Mecca Bingo in 2019, WhichBingo’s Best Slots Site for Mecca Games in 2022, and more.
A majority of the websites running under Rank Interactive use the same design and layout, but all websites use unique themes and colour schemes to help you differentiate them. For example, Kitty Bingo and Lucky Pants Bingo both use the same layout, but they use very different themes – one is themed around cats and the other is luck. This applies to all other Rank brands too, while some use more basic themes.
Rank Group Games & Software Providers
The content available at Rank Interactive brands varies depending on the website. All websites offer a diverse catalogue of casino games, which can include video slots, jackpots, table games, live casino content, and scratchcards from prominent developers like NetEnt, Eyecon, Red Tiger Gaming, Evolution, Big Time Gaming, Games Global (Formerly Microgaming) and its aggregated content, Blueprint Gaming, and numerous others.
Meanwhile, the Mecca Bingo, Lucky Pants Bingo, and Kitty Bingo websites all run a mixture of 90-ball, 80-ball, and 75-ball bingo, all of which use unique gameplay mechanics and themes and offer varying jackpot prizes. In short, there’s a lot of varied content on Rank Interactive websites, depending on the brand you register with.
Finally, it’s important to point out that the Grosvenor Casino website also runs a sportsbook, allowing you to wager on sports like basketball, tennis, football, horse and greyhound racing, cricket, and so much more. The site even allows you to wager on political and novelty bets like reality television shows and competitions.
Promotions & Bonuses
All Rank Interactive-operated websites off new customers a generous welcome package on their first deposit, and some run additional bonuses on subsequent deposits. A majority of the promotions available at Rank websites are casino bonuses and spins, but the bingo sites tend to also offer bingo bonuses and tickets to use, and there are specialised sports-based promotions for Grosvenor Casino’s sportsbook. Alongside that, some websites offer no additional promotions for long-term customers, while others do – we’ve found that Rank’s bingo sites are more likely to offer these additional promotions.
Meanwhile, a few of Rank Interactive’s brands also run loyalty programs that offer additional rewards for users that play regularly. These programs usually involve collectable loyalty points that can be redeemed for bonuses on other content.
Payment Options & Mobile Casino
When it comes to payments, Rank Interactive brands are a little more limited as they only accept a few payment methods; VISA and MasterCard debit cards, PayPal, and Paysafecard. All of the payment methods offer instant deposits, and all methods except Paysafecard can be used to make withdrawals, with transactions paid within a few business days. While Rank Interactive gambling websites don’t accept lots of payment methods, they do offer faster transaction times than most other casinos, which we see as being more important.
Of Rank Interactive’s operated brands, the only ones that offer dedicated mobile apps are Mecca Bingo and Grosvenor Casino, with multiple apps available for the latter’s casino games, live casino, sportsbook, and more. All other websites can only be accessed in-browser on mobile, but they are all responsive and work without issue. The mobile-friendliness of Rank’s casino and bingo sites means you can play whenever you want!
Customer Support
The customer support at Rank Interactive brands is the same across the board. Its two main flagship brands – Mecca Bingo and Grosvenor Casino – allow you to email the support team through a form on the website or use the live chat service between the hours of 7 AM and 10.30 PM, seven days a week. Meanwhile, all other Rank brands offer the same services as well as the ability to call the respective customer support teams, although the customer service contact number changes for each brand.
We also have to point out that all Rank Interactive brands run dedicated and in-depth FAQs, which you should always take a look at before contacting the support team, as you may find that the answer to your issue or question can be found there.
Summary
Rank Interactive is a relatively big name in the online gambling industry, and for a good reason. The firm is responsible for running two big-name gambling websites, as well as several independent and small casino and bingo websites. All of the brands under Rank Interactive offer a great selection of gambling content, whether that’s casino games, bingo rooms or sports betting opportunities. Although there are some faults with the operator’s brands, such as the lack of variety in payment methods or the absence of mobile apps for the independent sites, most Rank Interactive brands are mobile-friendly and provide you with an overall great experience that shouldn’t be missed.
