Mr Green Limited

Licence status: Surrendered on 28 October 2024

Mr Green Limited ran the Mr Green casino and bingo site for UK players until 2024, and it no longer takes UK accounts. This guide explains what happened to Mr Green UK, who owns Mr Green Limited and what the public record shows. It also compares Mr Green alternatives that still operate for UK players by welcome offers, game libraries, payment routes and withdrawal handling. Readers who want a replacement start with Table 1.

Mr Green Limited: Group Overview

Mr Green Limited lists its head office in Sliema, Malta, and it held Gambling Commission account 39264. The account carried 2 remote licences. The casino licence began on 1 November 2014, and the bingo licence began on 7 July 2017.

Both were surrendered on 28 October 2024, so the register shows no active licence. The register lists 1 domain name, www.mrgreen.com, and 1 trading name, Mr Green, and both are now inactive. It lists 0 premises.

The Mr Green UK casino therefore closed for good, and the company holds no permission to take UK bets or deposits. Players asking who owns Mr Green Limited find the answer in Evoke plc. The company sits within the Evoke plc group, which owns William Hill and 888.

William Hill bought Mr Green in January 2019 for £242m, and 888 bought William Hill's non-US business in 2022 before renaming itself Evoke plc. Anyone who wants to confirm a licence holder follows the steps in the guide on how to find a casino's operator. These qualifications are material.

A surrendered licence ends the UK record, and it does not erase the history. Settlements paid by Mr Green Limited stay on the Commission's published cases. Evoke plc is itself the subject of a takeover offer, so the owner above the brand is changing.

Mr Green Limited History and Key Milestones

The brand began in Sweden and passed through 3 owners before it left the UK. Dated milestones below show the main events on record:

  1. 2007: Mr Green is founded in Sweden by a trio of entrepreneurs
  2. 1 November 2014: the UK remote casino licence begins
  3. 2016: the UK sportsbook launches on the Kambi platform
  4. 7 July 2017: the remote bingo licence begins
  5. February 2018: Mr Green buys Evoke Gaming, which holds Redbet
  6. January 2019: William Hill buys Mr Green for £242m
  7. February 2020: Mr Green Limited agrees to pay £3m to the Gambling Commission
  8. 8 September 2022: the sportsbook closes to UK customers
  9. March 2023: Mr Green Limited pays £3.7m as part of a £19.2m group settlement
  10. 2024: the UK casino closes, and reports differ on the exact date
  11. 28 October 2024: both UK licences are surrendered
  12. 19 January 2026: the UK cap of 10x on bonus wagering takes effect

The sportsbook closed 2 years before the casino. The group said it already ran 3 UK sportsbooks and wanted to focus on its larger brands. The same reason applies to the casino, because the group kept 888casino and William Hill Casino as its UK lead brands.

Mr Green Limited Revenue and Scale

Mr Green Limited does not publish a standalone revenue figure, and the brand no longer reports UK numbers. The price paid in 2019 is the clearest measure of its former size. William Hill paid £242m, and Mr Green had listed on Nasdaq Stockholm in its own right before that.

The parent group now reports on a larger scale. Evoke plc posted revenue of £887.5m for the 6 months to 30 June 2026, flat on the same period of 2025. These qualifications are material.

The group figures cover every brand and market, so they do not describe Mr Green UK, which no longer trades.

Mr Green Alternatives for UK Players

Mr Green UK is closed, so players who want a similar casino choose among brands that still hold a Gambling Commission licence. The closest options sit in the same group, 888casino and William Hill Casino. Table 1 sets out the headline terms for those beside 2 independent brands, so sites like Mr Green sit side by side for comparison.

Every brand listed operates under a Gambling Commission licence as of October 2026.

Mr Green Casino

Mr Green Casino was the main product, with a live casino streamed in 3D from NetEnt from 2018. It ran bingo beside the casino under the bingo licence. Its sportsbook ran on Kambi until the 2022 closure.

A review page reports that the group moved the brand onto the 888 platform in 2023. The site no longer takes UK deposits or new accounts. These qualifications are material.

Reports differ on the final closing date, with a notice giving April 2024 and a later report moving it to September 2024. The register date of 28 October 2024 for the surrender is the fixed point.

888casino

888casino is the closest replacement inside the group, and it carries the exclusive 888 slots and live tables. The welcome offer is a 100% match up to £100 on a deposit of at least £10, staked on selected slots within 48 hours. Wagering is 10x on selected slots, in line with the UK cap, and winnings from the offer are capped at £100.

Key terms to check before claiming:

  • Welcome match of 100% up to £100 at 10x on selected slots
  • Minimum deposit of £10, staked within 48 hours
  • Winnings from the offer capped at £100
  • Neteller and Skrill deposits excluded

The library holds 2,000+ games, including 100+ progressive jackpot slots and 300+ live tables. The apps hold 4.5 on iOS from 48,700+ reviews and 4.1 on Android from 30,800+ reviews. These qualifications are material.

App ratings measure the app experience and not payout reliability, and the review score on record is low at 1.2 from 3,114 reviews.

William Hill Casino

William Hill Casino is the online casino of WHG (International) Limited, and it sits beside the group's sportsbook. Listings differ on the welcome offer. A package of 100 free spins at 10p each follows a £10 stake, with a £30 cap on winnings and 24 hours to use them.

Another listing gives 200 free spins after a £10 deposit and stake, with 10x on winnings. Listings put the library between 284 and 900+ games, with 57 to 150+ live games from Evolution. These qualifications are material.

The conflicting counts mean lobby size needs checking on the site, and the review score is low at 1.2 from 7,451 reviews.

Mr Green Alternatives Bonuses Compared

Welcome offers across the alternatives fall into 2 types. 888casino lists a 100% match with a cap on winnings, while William Hill Casino, Virgin Games and Betway list free spins, several with no wagering. The UK cap of 10x on bonus wagering has applied since 19 January 2026, and older listings that quote higher multiples are out of date. Take a worked example.

A £100 bonus at 10x on the bonus needs £1,000 of turnover. At 96.00 per cent RTP the expected cost is about £40, which leaves about £60. A £100 offer capped at £100 on winnings changes that sum, because the cap limits the upside.

Spin offers with no wagering therefore suit players who want a clean cash-out. These qualifications are material. Expected return is an average, and the caps and expiry windows differ by site.

Welcome Offers Compared Across the Network

Each line states the wagering position as of October 2026:

  • 888casino: 100% up to £100 at 10x on selected slots
  • William Hill Casino: free spins from a £10 stake with 10x on winnings, as listings differ
  • Virgin Games: 100 spins at 10p on £10, with no wagering on spin winnings
  • Betway Casino: 150 spins with no wagering on winnings, or 100% up to £50 at 10x on the bonus

Ongoing Promotions and Loyalty Rewards

Mr Green promotions ended with the UK site. The alternatives list their own reloads and loyalty schemes, and terms differ by brand. Reading the site's own terms before claiming removes the risk of a voided offer.

Mr Green Limited Betting Sites

Mr Green Limited no longer runs betting for UK customers. The sportsbook closed to UK players on 8 September 2022, and it remains available in Ireland. Players who want sport beside a casino use the 888sport or William Hill brands in the same group.

Others compare Betway, which pairs a casino with a sportsbook.

Other Mr Green Limited Brands

The register lists a single trading name, Mr Green, so no other brand sat on this account. The wider group holds many names under other licence holders. 888 UK Limited, WHG (International) Limited and William Hill Organization Limited each carry their own records. Estates that split brands across licences are covered in the guide to casino groups and white labels.

What Carries Over From Mr Green UK

An account at Mr Green does not move to another brand. Each licence holder keeps its own player records, so a player opens a new account at an alternative and completes identity checks again. Self-exclusion through the national scheme carries across every UK licensed site, so a player who excluded stays excluded.

Games and Providers

Mr Green UK offered slots, jackpots, table games and live tables, with live content from NetEnt in 3D. The alternatives now carry the comparable lobby. Live content at 888casino and William Hill Casino leans on Evolution, with Playtech and Pragmatic Play Live alongside.

Game Provider888casinoWilliam Hill Casino
EvolutionYesYes
PlaytechYesYes
Pragmatic PlayYesYes

Games GlobalNot listedYes

The table shows only what review pages name, and the full lists are longer. RTP is published per game, so players read the figure in each game's information panel before staking. The worked example uses 96.00 per cent as a round benchmark.

Live Casino Across the Network

Online live content covers roulette, blackjack, baccarat and game shows. 888casino lists 300+ live tables, and Betway lists 150 to 180+ tables. Players who valued the Mr Green live casino find the widest range at 888casino.

Deposits and Withdrawals

Mr Green no longer takes UK deposits. Players with an open balance withdraw it through the original deposit method. Players with a locked balance contact the licence holder through the complaints route in the site terms.

The alternatives accept debit cards, PayPal and other UK routes, and UK rules ban credit card deposits.

Accepted Payment Options Across the Network

Payment MethodMin DepositMax DepositProcessing TimeTransfer TimeFees
Visa and Mastercard debit£10VariesVaries1 to 5 daysNone listed
PayPal£10VariesVariesWithin 24 hoursNone listed
Skrill and Neteller£10VariesVariesWithin 24 hoursNone listed
Visa Direct£10VariesVariesUp to 4 hoursNone listed
Bank transfer£10VariesVaries3 to 5 daysNone listed

For UK players, Visa Direct and e-wallets suit the shortest wait among the listed routes, while debit cards suit the widest coverage. Skrill and Neteller deposits do not qualify for the 888casino offer. The cashier is the reliable check for limits and timing, and the casino withdrawal times guide explains how payout speeds differ across groups.

Withdrawal Handling at the Alternatives

888casino lists e-wallets within 24 hours and cards up to 5 business days. William Hill Casino lists Visa Direct up to 4 hours, e-wallets about 24 hours and cards 1 to 3 days. Identity checks apply before an opening withdrawal, and completing verification straight after registration removes the most common cause of delay.

Reviewers describe delayed withdrawals at both brands, so a small test withdrawal removes a common surprise.

Mobile Play and Browser Access

Mr Green had no UK app after the closure. The alternatives list native apps for iOS and Android, and browser play also works on phones. App quality is the clearest mobile difference between them.

App Store Ratings Across the Network

BrandApp StoreGoogle Play
Mr GreenClosed to UK playersClosed to UK players
888casino4.5 from 48,700+ reviews4.1 from 30,800+ reviews
William Hill CasinoNo rating listedNo rating listed

The 888casino apps score well. These qualifications are material. Ratings measure the app experience and not payout reliability, so a high score does not settle the withdrawal complaints.

Mr Green Alternatives Mobile Game Selection

Slots, jackpots and live tables load in the apps and the browser, and library size on mobile matches the desktop lobby. Players who want the full lobby install the app or use the site in a browser. The choice comes down to storage and notifications.

Licensing and Enforcement Record

Mr Green Limited surrendered both Gambling Commission licences on 28 October 2024. The register shows both as surrendered, with end dates matching. The alternatives sit under licences held by other group companies.

Regulatory Standing Across the Network

Players check the licences and the domain list on the Gambling Commission public register. Matching a site to that list confirms that it operates under a licence. Status by brand is shown in the table as of October 2026.

Gambling Commission Penalties and Settlements

The register business page lists 0 regulatory actions for Mr Green Limited as of October 2026. The Commission's published cases add 2 settlements. In February 2020 the company agreed to pay £3m.

In March 2023 it paid £3.7m as part of a £19.2m settlement across the William Hill group. The 2023 case covered failures in safer gambling and anti-money laundering controls. Customers spent large sums without checks, including £23,000 in 20 minutes, and weak controls let 331 self-excluded customers gamble.

The settlement required a board member to oversee an improvement plan and an independent review of controls. These qualifications are material. The settlements pre-date the closure by 1 and 4 years.

The register shows no action after the 2023 case, and the surrender came 19 months later. A surrender is not a penalty, and the sources give no regulator reason for it.

Safety Record of Mr Green Limited

Players on a Gambling Commission licensed site get segregated funds, mandatory identity checks and access to dispute resolution. For a closed site, safety comes down to getting a balance back and choosing a safe replacement. The alternatives carry live licences and published records.

Player Protection and Responsible Gambling Tools

Players apply account tools without contacting support. BeGambleAware provides free help and advice for anyone concerned about their play. The standard tools at the alternatives are:

  • Deposit limits
  • Session reminders
  • Time-outs
  • Self-exclusion

Self-Exclusion and Deposit Limits

Joining the national scheme covers every UK licensed online site at once, including the alternatives in Table 1. A player who excluded at Mr Green stays covered through the scheme. Players who want to stop across the whole market register with the scheme and then confirm that each account is closed.

Player Feedback and Review Scores

The review pages that cover the alternatives hold low scores. 888casino holds 1.2 out of 5 from 3,114 reviews, and William Hill Casino holds 1.2 from 7,451. Reviewers describe delayed withdrawals, frozen accounts and slow support. Praise mentions the apps and the game range.

These qualifications are material. Review samples are self-selected, since unhappy customers write more reviews. Scores on comparable pages vary, so a score is a guide and not a finding.

Mr Green alternatives give former players a live licence, a large lobby and published records. Each carries a cost, whether a cap on winnings, a smaller library or a low review score. Choosing between them comes down to the lobby and the offer, because the safeguards of a UK licence apply to all.

Mr Green Limited Compared With Other UK Networks

Mr Green Limited is a retired brand inside a large group, and the comparison is now between the group's live brands and independent casinos. The comparison below uses stated criteria only:

  • Welcome wagering: 10x on the bonus at 888casino, and none on spin winnings at Virgin Games
  • Game library: 2,000+ games at 888casino, against 1,000+ at Virgin Games
  • Mobile access: 888casino apps rated 4.5 on iOS and 4.1 on Android
  • Enforcement record: 2 settlements for Mr Green Limited, and a clean register for Virgin Games

The group leads on lobby size and app quality, and it trails on review scores and enforcement history. Players who want a different group compare Gamesys or BV Gaming. Readers who want the full picture of the former owner read the profile of Evoke.

Readers who browse other groups use the operator listings library. Readers who weigh a closed brand against alternatives follow the guide on sister sites versus casino alternatives.

Final Verdict on Mr Green Limited

Mr Green UK is closed, and 888casino is the closest replacement as of October 2026. It offers 100% up to £100 at 10x on selected slots and 300+ live tables. Its apps hold 4.5 on iOS.

The low review score, the cap on winnings and the group settlement record are the main cautions. Mr Green Limited now matters to former players who need to confirm a balance, and to readers who want a licence-checked replacement. Completing identity verification straight after registration removes the most common cause of withdrawal delays at any alternative.

Players who want wager-free spins look to Virgin Games or Betway.

Frequently asked questions

Who Owns Mr Green Limited?

Mr Green Limited sits within Evoke plc, the group that owns William Hill and 888. William Hill bought Mr Green in January 2019 for £242m, and 888 bought William Hill's non-US business in 2022 before renaming itself Evoke plc. Bally's Intralot agreed in June 2026 to acquire Evoke plc, so the ultimate owner may change.

How Many Casinos Does Mr Green Limited Own?

Mr Green Limited owned 1 casino brand, Mr Green, with bingo on the same site. The register lists 1 trading name and 1 domain name, www.mrgreen.com, and both are now inactive. The register lists 0 premises. The UK casino closed in 2024, so no active Mr Green casino remains for UK players.

Is Mr Green Limited Licensed?

Not any longer. Mr Green Limited held Gambling Commission account 39264 with casino and bingo licences, and it surrendered both on 28 October 2024. The register lists no active licence. The business page shows 0 regulatory actions, and the Commission's published cases record settlements of £3m in 2020 and £3.7m in 2023.

Is Mr Green Limited the Same as William Hill or 888?

No. All 3 sit within Evoke plc, though each licence holder is a separate company. William Hill online runs under WHG (International) Limited, and 888 runs under 888 UK Limited. Mr Green Limited held its own account until it surrendered the licences. Accounts, bonuses and self-exclusion records sit with the licence holder and do not transfer between brands.

Do Mr Green Alternatives Share Accounts and Self-Exclusion?

No, each alternative holds its own player account, and a Mr Green login does not work elsewhere. Self-exclusion through the national scheme GAMSTOP covers every UK licensed online site at once. A player who excluded stays covered at 888casino, William Hill Casino and the other alternatives. Account tools such as deposit limits apply only to the site that holds them.
