This page maps the group as it actually stands: sixteen casinos still trading, thirteen shut on a single day in May, and one operator behind all of them, with the retired brands now pointing to its Luxury Casino page. Every count and licence detail here was read from the operator’s own pages on 19 July 2026, not copied from another directory. Because they share that operator, the sixteen live brands are all Casino Rewards sister sites — sister casinos on one platform and one loyalty scheme, which is why a login from a closed brand still opens across the group.
The network
The full network at a glance
The table below is the whole roster in one place: every brand, whether it is live or gone, the market frame it sits in, and a one-line read from the desk. Sixteen rows are trading. Thirteen carry a closed date. Nothing here is a guess about the future; it is a snapshot of what resolves and loads today.
| Brand | Status | Market frame | Radar note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zodiac Casino | Live | International | Lowest-stake way in; advertises 80 jackpot chances for a dollar. |
| Grand Mondial Casino | Live | International | Jackpot-led marketing; advertises 150 chances for a ten-dollar deposit. |
| Luxury Casino | Live | International | The landing point every retired brand now redirects into. |
| Captain Cooks Casino | Live | International | One of the group’s founding-era names, still trading. |
| Golden Tiger Casino | Live | International | Long-running slots brand with a distinct tiger theme. |
| Yukon Gold Casino | Live | International | Minimum-deposit jackpot entry, close cousin to Zodiac. |
| Casino Classic | Live | International | Single-dollar jackpot entry, one of the plainest fronts in the group. |
| Quatro Casino | Live | International | Runs a spread-over-days free-spins welcome rather than a single match. |
| Villento Casino | Live | International | Compact two-deposit welcome; a quieter name in the roster. |
| Blackjack Ballroom Casino | Live | International | Leans on table and card play in its branding. |
| Casino Action | Live | International | Longest multi-deposit onboarding sequence of the surviving set. |
| Casino Kingdom | Live | International | Low-deposit jackpot front; the MGA record lists its Malta domain. |
| Cosmo Casino | Live | International | Mirrors the single-deposit jackpot format used across the group. |
| Grand Hotel Casino | Live | International | Hotel-themed veteran; multi-tier welcome package. |
| Players Palace Casino | Live | International | Unusual back-loaded welcome that rewards the second deposit more. |
| UK Casino Club | Live | International | Members-club styling; the name is legacy, not a market signal. |
| Aztec Riches Casino | Closed 12 May 2026 | Retired | Domain now resolves to the operator’s Luxury Casino page. |
| Casino Share | Closed 12 May 2026 | Retired | No standalone site; accounts folded into Luxury. |
| Challenge Casino | Closed 12 May 2026 | Retired | Checked 19 Jul 2026; the address forwards to Luxury. |
| Colosseum Casino | Closed 12 May 2026 | Retired | Roman-themed brand; its domain redirects into Luxury. |
| Golden Reef Casino | Closed 12 May 2026 | Retired | Forwards to Luxury; still listed as live by several directories. |
| Lucky Emperor Casino | Closed 12 May 2026 | Retired | Retired on the same date; balances moved to Luxury. |
| Music Hall Casino | Closed 12 May 2026 | Retired | Gone since May; the address lands on Luxury. |
| Nostalgia Casino | Closed 12 May 2026 | Retired | Once a common $1 entry brand; now a redirect to Luxury. |
| Phoenician Casino | Closed 12 May 2026 | Retired | Shut with the wider cull; folded into Luxury. |
| Rich Reels Casino | Closed 12 May 2026 | Retired | No longer trading; players sent to Luxury. |
| Vegas Country Casino | Closed 12 May 2026 | Retired | Retired brand; the domain forwards to Luxury. |
| Vegas Slot Casino | Closed 12 May 2026 | Retired | Closed alongside its Vegas-branded sibling. |
| Virtual City Casino | Closed 12 May 2026 | Retired | One of the oldest names on the list; now a redirect. |
Sixteen live, thirteen closed, twenty-nine in total. If a directory shows you a bigger live count, it is almost certainly still counting brands from the closed half of this table.
Ownership
Who runs Casino Rewards
Behind all sixteen live brands is a single Maltese company. Read the small print at the foot of Zodiac or Grand Mondial on 19 July 2026 and the same line appears: Apollo Entertainment Ltd, company number C 45483, at 8 Villa Seminia, Suite 2, Sir Temi Zammit Avenue, Ta’ Xbiex. That is the entity of record, and it is the name worth remembering, because the “Casino Rewards” label itself is a loyalty and rewards scheme that ties the brands together, not the company that holds your account.
Licensing, and one detail the copycats miss
The brand footers point to a Kahnawake Gaming Commission permit and carry an eCOGRA fair-play seal; Apollo also appears on the Malta Gaming Authority register under B2C licence MGA/B2C/164/2008. Here is the wrinkle almost no directory records: the Kahnawake permit covering Zodiac is held in the name of Fresh Horizons Ltd, a related group entity rather than Apollo itself. Both names are real, both belong to the same operation, and knowing which one appears on which register is the difference between a page that has actually read the source and one that has copied a rival. Because this is an international property, the licences that matter for players here are the ones displayed on the international brand footers, and each individual brand’s stated licence is worth confirming on its own site before you rely on it.
The closures
What happened on 12 May 2026
On a single day in May 2026 the group shut thirteen brands at once: Aztec Riches, Casino Share, Challenge Casino, Colosseum, Golden Reef, Lucky Emperor, Music Hall, Nostalgia, Phoenician, Rich Reels, Vegas Country, Vegas Slot and Virtual City. The operator consolidated a portfolio that had grown too wide to keep current against shifting market rules, and it handled the wind-down cleanly. Existing players were not cut off: their balances and login numbers carried across to Luxury Casino unchanged, so an old account still works, just under a different banner.
The web addresses tell the same story. Visit one of the retired domains and it does not throw an error; it forwards you onward. Checking challengecasino.com on 19 July 2026 from a clean connection, the address redirected straight to the operator’s Luxury Casino page. That behaviour is the citeable fact on each closed brand, and it is dated per domain rather than assumed, because a redirect can be re-pointed at any time.
Corrections
What most pages still get wrong
Two errors run through nearly every Casino Rewards write-up in the search results. The first is the roster count. One widely cited review pins the network at twelve brands; others still advertise thirty or more. Neither survives a look at the operator’s own directory: the portal at casinorewards.com/en/casinos/ lists exactly sixteen live casinos on 19 July 2026, the same sixteen in the top half of the table above, and not one of the thirteen closed names. When a page and the operator disagree about how many casinos exist, the operator wins.
The second error is staler and more misleading: incumbent pages keep presenting the thirteen retired brands as though you can still sign up at them. You cannot. Each of those thirteen shut on 12 May 2026, and anyone following an old link now arrives at Luxury Casino instead. A sister-sites list that still sends you to Aztec Riches or Virtual City as a live option has not been checked since before the cull.
By name
The two brands people search for by name
Two casinos pull most of the network’s name-searches, both on the strength of their headline jackpot pitch. Zodiac fronts its sign-up with the line “80 chances to become an instant millionaire” for a one-dollar deposit, delivered as spins on its Mega Money Wheel. Grand Mondial runs the same idea at a higher tier, advertising “150 exciting chances” toward the jackpot for a ten-dollar deposit. Both figures are lifted straight from the live bonus pages on 19 July 2026, and both are the kind of promotion that changes without notice, so treat them as a snapshot and check the current offer on the brand’s own page before depositing. The mechanics behind each, and what the wagering actually means, belong on the individual Zodiac and Grand Mondial pages rather than here.
A note on method: the counts, licences and redirects on this page come from reading the operator’s own public pages, not from other directories. The approach is set out in full on our how we map the networks page.
FAQ
Common questions
How many casinos does Casino Rewards run in 2026?
Sixteen are trading as of 19 July 2026: Zodiac, Grand Mondial, Luxury, Captain Cooks, Golden Tiger, Yukon Gold, Casino Classic, Quatro, Villento, Blackjack Ballroom, Casino Action, Casino Kingdom, Cosmo, Grand Hotel, Players Palace and UK Casino Club. That figure comes from the operator’s own casino directory, which lists these sixteen and no others.
Which brands closed, and where did the accounts go?
Thirteen shut on 12 May 2026: Aztec Riches, Casino Share, Challenge Casino, Colosseum, Golden Reef, Lucky Emperor, Music Hall, Nostalgia, Phoenician, Rich Reels, Vegas Country, Vegas Slot and Virtual City. Player balances and login numbers were carried over to Luxury Casino, and the old web addresses now redirect there too.
Who is the company behind the network?
Apollo Entertainment Ltd, a Malta-registered company (number C 45483) based in Ta’ Xbiex, operates the live brands. A related entity, Fresh Horizons Ltd, holds the Kahnawake permit for Zodiac. “Casino Rewards” is the shared loyalty scheme that links the brands, not the licensing company itself.
Why do other sites list a different number of brands?
Most out-of-date pages are still counting the thirteen casinos that closed in May 2026, which inflates the total, or they are working from an old marketing list. Cross-checking against the operator’s live directory brings the real figure back to sixteen.
Do the closed Casino Rewards domains still work?
They resolve, but not to a working casino. Each retired address forwards to the operator’s Luxury Casino page, observed on 19 July 2026. You cannot open a new account at any of the thirteen closed brands.
These are international casinos, not tied to any single market; whether you can play depends on the rules where you live, so check that online gambling is legal in your jurisdiction before signing up. You must also be of legal gambling age, which varies by location. Gambling should stay entertainment, never a way to make money or recover losses. If it stops feeling that way, free, confidential help is available through Gamblers Anonymous and Gambling Therapy (gamblingtherapy.org).
