The Rank Group

What The Rank Group does

The Rank Group Plc is a British gambling and leisure company founded in 1937 and listed on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange as a FTSE 250 constituent (ticker RNK), operating from Maidenhead, England. It runs an omnichannel gaming platform built around three principal venue brands — Grosvenor Casinos (over 51 UK venues, the UK's largest multi-channel casino operator), Mecca Bingo (41 UK venues, the UK's second-largest bingo operator) and Enracha in Spain — combined with a digital layer of over 120 sub-brands spanning online casino, bingo, slots and sports betting (e.g., grosvenorcasinos.com, meccabingo.com, bellacasino.com, yobingo.es, yocasino.es). Underpinning the platform is the in-house Hawkeye live player protection suite (with its Markers of Harm model), TransUnion-integrated affordability profiling, and cross-brand self-protection tools (Global Limit, net deposit limits, GAMSTOP/SENSE/BISES self-exclusion), supported by Laravel/AWS web infrastructure and a CRM that powers a High-Value Customer monetisation programme.

The Group earns revenue through Net Gaming Revenue (NGR) on a transaction-fee basis from both venues and digital play, plus venue food & beverage and ancillary spend. It holds multiple licences — UK Gambling Commission (online 57924; venues 236/33465/2396/34161/614), Gibraltar RGL 133/134, Spanish DGOJ oversight and Maltese licensing for enracha.es — and is governed by a Board chaired by John H. Ott with Richard Harris as Interim CEO following John O'Reilly's departure on 29 January 2026. For FY2025 (year ended 30 June 2025) the Group reported underlying NGR of £795.3m and operating profit of £67.0m on a like-for-like basis, and the business is positioned to benefit from UK land-based casino reforms passed into law in July 2025.
