Grosvenor Casinos is Britain's largest casino operator, part of the Rank Group, running around fifty casinos across Britain and an online casino and sportsbook licensed by the Gambling Commission, linked to its land-based membership and loyalty scheme. Founded in 1970, the brand operates flagship venues in London and regional cities and was a beneficiary of the 2023 White Paper's land-based reforms on machine allowances and casino rules.
