Lucky Pants Bingo is run by Rank Interactive (Gibraltar) Limited under UK Gambling Commission account 57924, the same licence that covers Mecca Bingo and Grosvenor. It was a Stride Gaming brand until The Rank Group completed its takeover on 4 October 2019. This page explains the licence and what sharing one with eleven other brands means for your account.
Its operator is Rank Interactive (Gibraltar) Limited, UKGC account 57924.
The licences on that account (bingo, casino and betting) have been active since 11 March 2022.
The brand came to Rank with Stride Gaming, a takeover completed on 4 October 2019.
One licence covers twelve Rank brands, so bonus, funds and exclusion terms can link across them.
We aren't partnered with Lucky Pants Bingo; details checked on 20 October 2026.

Lucky Pants Bingo at a glance: who runs it
The operator is Rank Interactive (Gibraltar) Limited, part of The Rank Group. Rank is the London-listed owner of the Grosvenor casino chain and Mecca bingo clubs, and it runs a portfolio of online brands from a single Gambling Commission account. This bingo brand is one of the smaller names on that list.
Key details for Lucky Pants Bingo (20 October 2026)
Lucky Pants was built by Stride Gaming, an online bingo and slots company listed on London's AIM market. When Rank bought Stride in 2019, trade reports listed 'Lucky Pants' among the brands it acquired, alongside Kitty Bingo, Lucky VIP, Regal Wins and Spin and Win. The Gambling Commission's review of the deal was cleared in September 2019 and Rank confirmed completion on 4 October 2019.
Rank then began moving Stride's sites onto its own technology. It reported finishing the first stage in November 2020. The current licence, held by Rank Interactive (Gibraltar) Limited, became active on 11 March 2022. The register only shows the present holder, so the Stride-era licence doesn't appear on this account. Our page on rebranded casinos explains what usually happens to player accounts when a brand changes hands.
One licence, twelve brands: what that means for Lucky Pants Bingo players
The other brands on account 57924 on 20 October 2026 were Grosvenor, Mecca Bingo, Mecca Games, Rialto Casino, Lucky VIP, Kitty Bingo, Magical Vegas, Bella Casino, Regal Wins, Spin and Win and The Vic. Of those, Kitty Bingo and Mecca Bingo are the closest in style, being bingo-led. Grosvenor and Rialto lean towards casino and live tables.
Bingo costs on a site like Lucky Pants Bingo
Bingo is cheap per game but quick to add up. Take a 75-ball room with 5p tickets: four tickets per game is 20p, so if the room runs 15 games in an hour you'd spend £3. Swap to a 25p room with the same number of tickets and the same hour costs £15. In many rooms the prize pot depends on how many tickets are sold, so check the room details before you buy.
Our guides to 75-ball bingo and online bingo explain the patterns, and why buying more tickets raises your chance of winning a game while also raising the cost of each game by the same proportion.
Most bingo sites also carry slots. Those slots follow the same rules as any casino: a £5 per spin cap for players aged 25 and over, and £2 for those aged 18 to 24.

Is Lucky Pants Bingo safe? Funds, record and tools
On 20 October 2026 the register listed no regulatory actions against Rank Interactive (Gibraltar) Limited. Every British licensee must also tell you how your balance is protected if it becomes insolvent; the Commission's guide to what happens if a gambling business goes bust (opens in a new tab) explains the three levels. We haven't checked Rank's chosen rating, so read it in the terms. Our page on player funds protection adds worked examples.
For tools, expect deposit limits, time-outs, reality checks and self-exclusion, plus GAMSTOP (opens in a new tab). If bingo has stopped being fun, the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133 offers free advice day and night, and our guide to the signs of problem gambling can help you decide whether to talk to someone.
How Lucky Pants Bingo compares with casino sites
As a bingo-first brand with a slots side, Lucky Pants Bingo sits in a different space from casino-first sites. Bingo rooms run on a timetable with shared prize pots; casino games are played on demand against a fixed house edge. Our bingo vs slots comparison sets out how cost per hour and prize structures differ between the two.

Frequently asked questions
Who owns Lucky Pants Bingo?
The Rank Group owns the brand, and Rank Interactive (Gibraltar) Limited operates it under UK Gambling Commission account 57924. Rank acquired Lucky Pants Bingo when it completed its takeover of Stride Gaming on 4 October 2019. The Gibraltar company is your contractual counterparty, holds your balance and handles complaints. Our UK casino brands A–Z lists which company runs each brand we profile.
Is Lucky Pants Bingo licensed in the UK?
Yes. Rank Interactive (Gibraltar) Limited holds remote bingo, casino and betting licences that have been active since 11 March 2022, and luckypantsbingo.com was listed as an Active domain when we checked on 20 October 2026. That licence binds the site to all British rules, from age verification to the 10x wagering cap. You can confirm the details yourself using our guide on checking a casino licence.
Is Lucky Pants Bingo the same company as Mecca Bingo?
Online, yes. Both brands are operated by Rank Interactive (Gibraltar) Limited on account 57924, so the same company handles verification, payments and complaints for each. The sites look different and run their own promotions, but terms such as one welcome bonus per person can apply across both. Read the eligibility rules before joining a second Rank brand. Our profile of Mecca Bingo covers the bigger sister site.
When did Rank take over Lucky Pants Bingo?
Rank completed its acquisition of Stride Gaming, which owned Lucky Pants, on 4 October 2019, after the Gambling Commission's review was cleared in September 2019. Rank reported the first stage of moving Stride's sites onto its own platform in November 2020, and the current Rank Interactive (Gibraltar) Limited licences date from 11 March 2022. For how ownership changes typically affect accounts, see our page on what happens when a casino closes.
Can I claim a welcome bonus at Lucky Pants Bingo and another Rank site?
Not necessarily. Operators running several brands on one licence often limit welcome offers to one per person, household or payment method across all of them, and Rank's terms will set out its own rule. Claiming a second offer against those terms can lead to bonus winnings being removed. Since 19 January 2026, any bonus can't carry wagering above 10x. Our guide on bonus abuse explains how operators define duplicate claims.
Has Lucky Pants Bingo been fined?
The register listed no regulatory actions against Rank Interactive (Gibraltar) Limited when we checked on 20 October 2026. That covers penalty packages, warnings and additional licence conditions against the current licence holder. It doesn't cover any action against companies that ran the brand before Rank. For dated examples of what the Commission has penalised elsewhere, see our page on Gambling Commission fines.
Does self-excluding from Lucky Pants Bingo block Rank's other sites?
Ask the operator directly, because the answer depends on how it applies exclusion across its brands. If you want certainty, register with GAMSTOP, which blocks every British-licensed online gambling site and app, including all Rank brands, for six months to five years. A GAMSTOP exclusion can't be cancelled early, so choose the length carefully. Our guide to self-exclusion explains the options side by side.
What happens to my Lucky Pants Bingo balance if Rank goes bust?
It depends on the funds protection level Rank discloses in its terms, which you should have acknowledged before your first deposit. Funds rated not protected count as company assets in an insolvency; medium and high protection add safeguards such as insurance or a trust account. Where funds are unprotected, a reminder every six months has been compulsory since 31 October 2025. The player funds protection page explains the levels.
Are there stake limits on Lucky Pants Bingo slots?
Yes. All online slots at British-licensed sites have a maximum stake of £5 a spin for players aged 25 and over, since 9 April 2025, and £2 a spin for players aged 18 to 24, since 21 May 2025. Bingo tickets aren't slots, so they're not covered by that cap, but they still count towards any deposit limit. See the £2 slot stake limit for how age is applied.
How do I complain about Lucky Pants Bingo?
Use the complaints process in the site's terms first, quoting your account details, dates and amounts. The operator then has eight weeks to resolve it. If it hasn't, or you disagree with its final decision, it must refer you to a free alternative dispute resolution service, which is independent of the operator. Individual cases aren't something the Gambling Commission rules on. Our page on complaints and ADR covers timings and evidence.
Gambling can be addictive. Free, confidential help is available 24 hours a day from the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133. Get free support from GamCare or NHS gambling support, or block yourself from all UK-licensed gambling sites with GAMSTOP.
