Apollo Entertainment Casinos

🎯 Last Researched On 19 August 2026

Sixteen British casino sites share one Malta licence holder, Apollo Entertainment Limited, covering Luxury Casino, Zodiac Casino, Yukon Gold, Grand Hotel Casino, Captain Cooks, UK Casino Club, Villento, Aztec Riches, Golden Tiger, Casino Action, Grand Mondial, Colosseum Casino, Blackjack Ballroom, Quatro Casino, Casino Classic and Virtual City Casino. The public file lists twenty-seven web addresses and twenty-nine trading names against that one account, and opening every address on 10 August 2026 turned up three still trading under their own name, ten forwarding into Luxury Casino, and fourteen answering with nothing at all.

💼 What sits behind all sixteen names

💎 What the public file states

  • Licensed company: Apollo Entertainment Limited, based in Malta
  • Permission: remote casino play only, running without a break from November 2014, nothing entered against a closing date
  • Trading names: twenty-nine filed, every row active, every name ending in the letters uk
  • Web addresses: twenty-seven filed, every row active, every one a .co.uk domain
  • Premises: none, nothing land based has ever been attached to this account
  • Enforcement counter: zero, and the record behind it carries no entry

Most groups covered on this site carry a stack of permissions picked up at different times, a casino permission from one year, bingo added later, sports betting added later still. This account carries a single line: casino play, delivered remotely, current since 1 November 2014, with the closing column left blank. That single line explains two things at once. A casino-only permission cannot lawfully take a bet on a football match or a horse race, and with no premises entered anywhere on the file, none of these sixteen names owns a betting shop, an arcade or a land casino. The business has done one thing since 2014 and added nothing to it.

🌐 Every address on the file, and what active really means

All twenty-seven addresses were opened in turn on 10 August 2026. Three answer as a shop of their own: Luxury Casino, Zodiac Casino and UK Casino Club. Ten hand the visitor straight into Luxury Casino, the addresses behind Blackjack Ballroom, Captain Cooks, Casino Action, Casino Classic, Grand Hotel Casino, Grand Mondial, Golden Tiger, Quatro Casino, Villento and Yukon Gold all forward there. The remaining fourteen returned no page at all: Aztec Riches, Casino Kingdom, Casino Share, Challenge Casino, Colosseum Casino, Golden Reef Casino, Lucky Emperor Casino, Music Hall Casino, Nostalgia Casino, Phoenician Casino, Rich Reels, Vegas Country Casino, Vegas Slot Casino and Virtual City Casino.

An active marker on this file records that an address is filed and current on the licence. It says nothing about a working site behind it. Twenty-four of these twenty-seven addresses carry no shop of their own, ten redirecting and fourteen silent, so a reader who takes active to mean twenty-seven working casinos would be wrong by a wide margin. The file describes permission to trade under a name, not proof that a site exists at that name today.

  • ✅ Safe: assuming any of the fourteen silent addresses could open a working site later without notice, since the file only records permission, not a promise either way.
  • ❌ Costly: assuming the twenty-seven active rows mean twenty-seven working casinos, when only three of them actually open a site today.

Two more names appear on the trading-name list with no address behind them anywhere on the account: Players Palace and Strike It Lucky. That accounts for the entire gap between twenty-nine names and twenty-seven addresses. One further point worth knowing when searching the file directly: Captain Cooks is filed in the singular, as captain cook casino uk, so a search on the plural spelling can come back looking emptier than it actually is.

🎰 The three names with a working lobby

Luxury Casino, Zodiac Casino and UK Casino Club are the three names on this file that open a working lobby of their own, and all three were read live on 10 August 2026. Each is built from the same template, with the same five-item navigation and the same eight footer links repeated across all three: About Us, Privacy Policy, Verification Policy, Responsible Gambling, Fair Play, Source of Funds, Terms and Conditions, and a partner-marketing page listed separately. Only the brand name changes in the closing sentence at the foot of each, along with a short tracking code, and each one names Apollo Entertainment Limited and points back to the same Malta address.

Where the three differ is what the front page leads with. Luxury Casino opens on a promise of over 1,000 games, a payout figure given as 97 per cent, and a line about a quarter-century of trading. Zodiac Casino runs a games carousel and a running jackpot total, which read just over £13.2 million when checked on 10 August 2026, shown in Canadian dollars and euros rather than pounds, a sign the board is shared group wide rather than British only; the same total sits on the games page at each of the other two, within a few pence. UK Casino Club leads on the size of its games library instead, and carries third-party trademark notices for licensed slot titles naming a company other than Apollo Entertainment Limited. None of the three prints a welcome offer in figures on the front page, so a visitor comparing them on a bonus headline has to open the promotions page to find one, and the three sites are close enough in build that the offer may be the only real difference between them.

🏦 One owner behind every site, not a platform host

Put this account beside two of the larger host operators covered elsewhere on this site and the shape looks different immediately. One large host group files well over a hundred addresses under a partner label, dozens more sitting inactive, with only a small share trading under its own name. A second, smaller host group shows the same pattern: most of its addresses carry a partner label, a handful sit inactive, and only a few trade under its own brand. Apollo Entertainment Limited runs the opposite shape entirely, twenty-seven addresses, every single one active under its own name, nothing filed as a partner label and nothing filed as inactive.

A partner label on a host file means the brand name belongs to one company while a different, licensed party answers to the regulator behind it. That is not a mark against the brand, and it changes nothing about the terms a player signs up to, but it does mean the public name and the licensed name are not the same company. On this account they always are. Whichever of the sixteen names is opened, the business answering for the money, the complaint and any account closure is the same one, Apollo Entertainment Limited, and there is no partner in between to identify first.

🏟 The name that answers to two different companies

Searching the business file for rich reels turns up two separate results, more than any other name in this family produces. One is Apollo Entertainment Limited, trading under the rich reels name with its own web address, filed exactly like the other twenty-six on this account. The other is a completely different company, a small gaming-machine business once based in Buckinghamshire, England, that held two non-remote permissions of its own, covering an adult gaming centre and a technical-supply role rather than any online casino.

Both permissions held by that second company were given up in early 2024, and nothing else was ever filed against it, no web address, no trading name beyond its own company name, no premises, and no entry on the enforcement record. In other words, an unrelated machine-gaming business in England that surrendered its licences shares a name with this Malta-based online brand, and nothing on either file connects the two. That is worth knowing for two reasons. Searching by brand name rather than by account is exactly how mix-ups of this kind end up published, and a lapsed licence sitting on a similarly named company is exactly the sort of detail that gets pinned on the wrong operator. The rest of the names in this family do not share this problem, searches on zodiac, luxury casino, captain cooks and yukon gold each return only the Apollo Entertainment Limited account and nothing else.

⚓ What six enforcement searches turned up

The enforcement record attached to this account shows nothing against the business, and the counter above it reads zero. Six separate searches were run against the enforcement listings on 10 August 2026, on the licensed company name, on the family name these sixteen sites trade under, and on four of the individual brands. Every one came back empty, and a wider sweep of Gambling Commission news pages for the same names turned up nothing beyond the file itself.

A zero counter records what is filed today, not the full history of a company, and precision matters over what that fact can and cannot be stretched to mean. It supports saying that no enforcement action against this account appears on the public file as of the date checked. It does not support a claim that nothing has ever happened, since closed cases and older public statements can drop off these listings over time even when the underlying history remains real. The accurate statement here is a negative that was tested six separate ways and held on every one of them, dated to the day it was checked. If that changes, none of the sentences above become untrue, they describe what a search returned, not a permanent verdict on the company.

♣ One licence, one shared responsibility across all sixteen

Because every one of these twenty-seven addresses sits on one remote licence held by one company, any complaint a player raises has only one place to go. A dispute over a game result, a withdrawal, a bonus term or an account closure at Zodiac Casino is handled by the identical licensed business as the same complaint raised at Luxury Casino or UK Casino Club, under the same licence conditions at every one of them. There is no partner company standing in between, which on a host account is often the party a player has to identify before getting anywhere.

Self-exclusion works on two different levels here and they are worth keeping separate. Setting an exclusion inside one of these sixteen sites is handled by Apollo Entertainment Limited directly, so it reaches only the account it was set on. Signing up with GAMSTOP reaches much further, covering every operator licensed to offer remote gambling in Great Britain, this family included, all at once. For a family built out of near-identical sites, the difference matters more than it would elsewhere, since sixteen similar-looking brands can otherwise feel like sixteen separate decisions rather than one.

🚫 Only two names on the file are not currently trading

Host operators that carry brands belonging to other companies tend to leave behind a trail of closed addresses. This account does not. No row on the whole file reads anything other than active, and nothing has quietly moved from one web address to a near-identical one either. What the file does hold is slack in the other direction, two trading names, Players Palace and Strike It Lucky, permitted for use but with no web address ever filed against either of them. Those two are the only entries anywhere on the account describing something not currently trading, and even they are unused permissions rather than a former site that closed down. Anyone looking for a history of brands this operator used to run will not find one here, because the file only records what is current, and this operator has filed the same shape of business, unchanged, since 2014.

🔮 Where every one of the sixteen brands leads

Each of the sixteen names on this account has its own page on this site, covering what that specific address offers today, whether it answers directly or forwards a visitor elsewhere. The redirect case sits at Yukon Gold Casino, and its destination at Luxury Casino. The other two trading names are Zodiac Casino and UK Casino Club. The remaining twelve names read across as Villento Casino, Grand Hotel Casino, Casino Action, Captain Cooks Casino, Aztec Riches Casino, Quatro Casino, Colosseum Casino, Grand Mondial Casino, Golden Tiger Casino, Casino Classic, Virtual City Casino and Blackjack Ballroom.
