MrQ casino: owner and licence

Who runs MrQ casino?

The company licensed to run MrQ for British players is Tek Fox Ltd. Its entry on the Gambling Commission register (opens in a new tab) is account 60629, with a head office listed in Birkirkara, Malta. Tek Fox is the licence holder: it is the party to your account terms and the business responsible for your balance and any complaint.

The people behind the brand are closer to home. MrQ was built by Lindar Media, a technology business based in St Albans, Hertfordshire, and founded by Savvas Fellas. That makes MrQ one of the relatively few UK-facing casino brands developed by a British team rather than a large international group.

Latest Casinos has no commercial relationship with MrQ. We don't link to it, rate it or describe its current welcome offer; this profile is drawn from the public register and published company details.

Tek Fox Ltd and Lindar Media: the companies behind MrQ

Splitting a brand's technology business from its licensed operator is a common structure. What matters to you is that the licensed company is named in the site's footer and terms, and that the name matches the register. If you ever see MrQ branding next to a different company name or account number, treat it with suspicion and check the register directly.

MrQ licence: why the register shows 2023

People checking MrQ are sometimes puzzled that the brand launched in 2018 but its licence holder's activities start on 29 September 2023. The register shows the current licensed company, not the brand's whole history. When a business moves a brand onto a new legal entity, for example as part of a restructure, the new company applies for its own licence and the dates on the register restart.

When we checked on 20 October 2026, account 60629 showed remote casino and remote bingo activities, both active, and no regulatory actions. That's the information that matters for today's players. For a full explanation of what each register field means, our guide on how to check a casino licence goes through them one by one, and how casinos get a UK licence explains what the Commission assesses before granting one.

What MrQ offers and the UK rules for each

MrQ's product range covers slots, Slingo, live casino, jackpot games, and 90-ball and 75-ball bingo. Each falls under slightly different UK rules, which is useful to know before you play:

Having both a casino and a bingo licence also matters for promotions. Since 19 January 2026 a single offer can't require you to play both products, so any bingo promotion and any slots promotion must stand alone. The mixed-product promotions ban page explains the reasoning.

Is MrQ an independent casino? Sister sites explained

MrQ is often described as an independent casino because it isn't part of a big listed gambling group. We haven't verified any sister brands on Tek Fox Ltd's licence, so we don't list any. The quickest way to see whether other brands share the account is the register's domain names tab for account 60629; if it lists only MrQ domains, the licence covers a single brand.

Independence has trade-offs. Smaller operators can be quicker to change their product, but they don't have the cross-subsidy of a large group. Our guide to independent casinos explains how to weigh that, and casino sister sites covers what it means when several brands do share a licence.

What changed recently for MrQ players

No brand-specific change appears on MrQ's register entry. The changes affecting its players are those that apply to every UK casino:

• Wagering: since 19 January 2026, any bonus can need no more than 10x play-through. Brands that already offered no-wagering deals are unaffected, but the rest of the market has moved closer to them. See no wagering for what that term means.
• Limits at sign-up: since 31 October 2025, you're prompted to set a financial limit before your first deposit.
• Marketing: since 1 May 2025, consent is given per product and per channel, so you can accept bingo emails and refuse casino texts.
• Financial vulnerability checks: since 28 February 2025, a public-record check runs when net deposits pass £150 in a rolling 30 days.
