Every surviving brand runs under that same Malta operator. This page lists the ones still open, explains what became of Challenge, and shows exactly what we saw when we tried its old address on 19 July 2026. If you once held a Challenge account, it moved to Luxury with the same login number, so you can still sign in.
The network
Challenge Casino’s sister sites that are still open
Sixteen brands in the group are still live. Challenge sits with twelve others that were taken down the same day, so the useful list for a former player is the one below: the casinos you can actually still reach, each on the shared platform and loyalty scheme.

| Grand Mondial | LIVE | Ten-dollar jackpot spins and a winners’ wall. |
| Luxury Casino | LIVE | Where Challenge accounts were sent. |
| Captain Cooks | LIVE | Long-running explorer theme, low first stake. |

| Challenge Casino | CLOSED | This brand; closed 12 May 2026, its address now opens Luxury. |
| Twelve more retired brands | CLOSED | Taken down the same day; each will get its own page, listed in full on the hub. |
The closure
What became of Challenge Casino
The operator trimmed its portfolio on 12 May 2026, taking Challenge Casino offline with twelve others. Nobody was locked out: your balance and loyalty standing went to Luxury Casino, and your login number came with you, so a former Challenge player signs in at Luxury with the details they already had. It was a tidy consolidation rather than a shutdown with stranded funds, and the day is covered fully on the hub, our Casino Rewards guide.
It is worth saying plainly, because plenty of directories have not caught up: Challenge is not a casino you can join today. Any page still showing it as open is simply out of date. The brand is gone, and Luxury is where it went.
Closed-brand check, dated. On 19 July 2026 we opened challengecasino.com from a clean connection. It answered with a 302 redirect to Luxury’s listing on the casinorewards.com portal.
Closure date: 12 May 2026. Where accounts went: Luxury Casino, with login numbers kept intact. What still works: an old Challenge sign-in, now on Luxury rather than the retired site.
Ownership
Who ran Challenge Casino
Challenge belonged to the Casino Rewards group, which is owned by Apollo Entertainment Ltd, a company registered in Malta under number C 45483, at a Ta’ Xbiex address. Across the surviving brands the footers still show the Kahnawake Gaming Commission permit and the eCOGRA testing seal; one detail few pages mention is that on the Kahnawake register the Zodiac permit is held by a related company, Fresh Horizons Ltd. Same group, two names.
Disambiguation
Two addresses people mix up
The redirect above finishes on Luxury’s listing on casinorewards.com, which is a portal page rather than the casino you would actually play at; that live site is luxury.casino. It is also worth noting that this Challenge Casino has nothing to do with any other gambling brand or app using the word challenge. The only Challenge tied to this group is the Casino Rewards one that closed in May 2026.
FAQ
Questions former Challenge players ask
What became of Challenge Casino?
It went offline on 12 May 2026 in a group-wide tidy-up that closed thirteen brands at once. Player accounts were not cancelled; they were handed to Luxury Casino, while challengecasino.com now redirects to that same listing.
Where did my Challenge Casino account go?
To Luxury Casino, keeping the same login number. If you had a balance or loyalty standing at Challenge, it should be waiting for you at Luxury under the credentials you used before.
Which Challenge Casino sister sites are still open?
Fifteen remain live, among them Luxury, Yukon Gold, Grand Mondial, Zodiac, Players Palace, Villento and Captain Cooks. The full set is in the table above, and every one runs on the same platform Challenge used.
Does the challengecasino.com address still work?
It loads, but only to forward you on. Our check on 19 July 2026 sent us straight to Luxury’s page on casinorewards.com. You cannot open or reach a Challenge account there, because the brand itself no longer runs.
Was Challenge Casino a real, licensed casino?
Yes. While it ran, it sat under the same Apollo Entertainment Ltd licensing as its siblings, with the Kahnawake permit and the eCOGRA seal its siblings still display. Its closure was a business decision, not a regulator action, and accounts were moved rather than frozen.
