Grace Media (Gibraltar) Limited information

Written by Benjamin Rose – Head Writer

The current company site trades as Grace Gaming and presents the business as a white-label casino and sportsbook supplier. That is the important distinction on this page: some domains are Grace Media’s own brands, while others use its licence and systems under a partner’s name.

Who are Grace Media (Gibraltar) Limited?

Grace Media Limited (or should that be Grace Media Gibraltar Limited?) is a company that’s done an awful lot in a very short space of time. It came from nowhere in 2019, set up shop in the UK, amassed a collection of more than one hundred casinos and iGaming sites, moved to Gibraltar, and then closed down most of its casinos. It takes most casino operators a decade or more to amass that kind of history of change. Whatever Grace Media is or isn’t, it’s clearly a company that’s in a hurry – and it’s the very definition of an “industry disruptor.”

While we might have said that Grace Media “came from nowhere,” that’s a turn of phrase. It clearly came from somewhere – and that specific “somewhere” was Manchester. This is an iGaming company with an interesting story behind it, and we’ll tell the story below.

An overview of Grace Media (Gibraltar) Limited

The present-day version of Grace Media (Gibraltar) Limited can be found in Gibraltar – or, at least, its theoretical head office can. It has an address listed in Hadfield House, which is the same address that’s used by quite a lot of casino network companies that have theoretical head offices in Gibraltar. It’s no secret that basing an iGaming company in Gibraltar is an awful lot cheaper from a taxation point of view than basing one in the United Kingdom, and that’s why you’ll find so many casino operators there. It’s perfectly legal for the operators to structure themselves this way, and it makes good business sense to do so.

At one point in its brief history, Grace Media operated more than 120 casinos, bingo sites and other iGaming sites, almost all of which ran on a white-label basis. Things have changed dramatically since then. The current UK account lists two active house-brand domains and twenty-three white-label domains, alongside fifty inactive addresses inherited from the network’s much larger past. We’ll take a closer look at the biggest and best casinos on the Grace Media platform a little further down this page, but before we do, let’s look at how it all began for this operator.

Grace Media history

Grace Media was incorporated in 2019, which is as good as yesterday in iGaming terms. The company’s first head office was on King Street in Manchester, which is considered the heart of the city and a desirable address. Although the “official” HQ of the company is in Gibraltar today, the Manchester office is still open, and that’s still where you’ll find nearly all of the operator’s employees. That presumably includes Warren Jacobs, Grace Media’s founder and CEO. He was no newcomer to the iGaming scene when he launched the company; he’s a veteran with many years of experience and is respected enough to be called upon as a judge for the Global Gaming Awards each year.

After setting up shop in 2019, Grace Media Limited truly set about its business the following year. By mid-2020, the operator had more than one hundred iGaming sites to its name. It would have been impossible for a big casino network company to come up with so many casinos in such a short space of time, let alone a startup, but that’s not how Grace Media grew so quickly. Instead, it took advantage of the closure of Nektan, which was formerly a large-scale casino operator. When Nektan’s former casinos and bingo sites became available to the highest bidder, Grace Media made the highest bid.

A change of address

With a UK Gambling Commission licence and a string of successful iGaming sites, everything appeared to be going well for Grace Media. That’s why it was a shock to many in the industry when the company voluntarily surrendered its UKGC licence in May 2022. That wasn’t Grace Media giving up the ghost, though; far from it. Instead, it was Grace Media preparing to take things to the next level. Two months before surrendering its original licence, Grace Media officially relocated to Gibraltar and applied for a new UK Gambling Commission licence under the new name of Grace Media (Gibraltar) Limited. The licence was awarded in March 2022 – so this was a move that was planned well in advance – and remains in force today.

Since then, there has been a spate of closures of Grace Media casinos. From the outside, it’s difficult to say whether this should be seen as a cause for concern or not. As we’ve said earlier, Grace Media is primarily a white-label casino operator. Almost all the casinos that have closed down were previously white-label. They could have been shut down by Grace Media because they were unprofitable, or they could have been shut down by the operator’s white-label partners because they wanted to get out of the iGaming business. In any event, the closure of so many sites must surely have resulted in a drop in income for the operator. The official Grace Media website is still touting for new white-label partners and advertising vacancies within the firm, though, so we presume that the company is still focused on moving forwards.

Grace Media (Gibraltar) Limited and the UK Gambling Commission

Grace Media (Gibraltar) Limited holds UK licence account 57869. Casino and bingo permissions have been active since March 2022, gambling-software permission since May 2024, and real-event and virtual-event betting permissions since June 2025. The account is active, but it is not spotless: on 26 June 2025 the Commission imposed a £60,000 financial penalty for failures involving self-exclusion and direct electronic marketing consent. The regulator recorded cooperation, human error and remedial action, which is relevant context but does not erase the breach.

What sharing Grace Media’s platform means

Which Grace Media casino should you choose?

Choose HotStreak Casino for the broadest current product and a sportsbook alongside casino games. Choose Royal Valley Casino if you want the cleaner casino-first house brand. Chit Chat Bingo is the sensible bingo route, VIPBet is the sportsbook-led white label, and Jackpot Mobile Casino is the clearest mobile-branded option. Do not choose a closed historical name merely because an old review still calls it part of the network.
