Grosvenor Casino Marylebone - Games, Venue and Licensing

Two Venues, One Brand, Same Patch of London

Around Marylebone you actually have two Grosvenor properties that people often mix up. They sit fairly close to each other, share the same parent company, but they are not the same casino.

Grosvenor Casino The Barracuda is at 1 Baker Street, London W1U 8ED. A bit further away, on Edgware Road, is Grosvenor Casino The Victoria at 150-162 Edgware Road, London W2 2DT. Both operate under Grosvenor Casinos Limited, which is owned by The Rank Group plc.

To walk into either venue you need valid photo ID. The minimum age is 18, but The Barracuda runs a Think 25 policy, so anyone who looks under 25 should expect to be checked. Standard documents only: passport, driving licence, those sorts of things. Turning up without ID is usually a wasted trip.

For The Barracuda, you can call +44 20 7935 5013 or email [email protected]. They also offer valet parking, which is pretty handy if you are driving into central London and do not fancy looping around side streets for half an hour. The Victoria is a short walk from Paddington and Marble Arch, so it leans more on public transport.

What You Will Find on the Gaming Floor

Both casinos keep to the classic mix of table games and electronic play. Roulette and blackjack are the main focus on the live tables, with some additional formats available depending on the night. There are also electronic machines for those who prefer to play solo.

Each venue has bar and restaurant service built into the offer. Opening hours are not identical across all Grosvenor sites, and some locations run 24/7, some do not, so it is worth a quick call or online check before you plan food or late drinks around it. Better to confirm instead of assuming.

Grosvenor runs poker tournaments and other promotions across the whole network, and the Marylebone casinos take part in that. When you play table games, your activity can feed into the Grosvenor rewards programme, which also connects with the online platform. If you split your time between visiting in person and playing online, it generally pays off to have the same details linked across both.

Visiting for the First Time

If you have never set foot in a Grosvenor casino, the first visit is usually quite simple once you know what is coming.

1. Start by checking which address you actually want - The Barracuda is on Baker Street, The Victoria is on Edgware Road. They are close but not interchangeable.
2. Pack a photo ID in your wallet or bag. It needs to be government-issued and clearly show your face.
3. At the entrance, staff will ask to see that ID. At The Barracuda, Think 25 means they will check anyone who appears under 25, even if technically over 18.
4. Once signed in, you can move around the gaming floor and make use of the bar and restaurant.
5. For table games, stand by the table, watch a round, and wait for the dealer to say it is fine to join. Do not drop into a seat mid-hand.
6. For electronic machines, choose an available terminal, put in your payment and follow the on-screen steps.
7. If you want your play to count towards the loyalty scheme, ask a member of staff about registering or connecting it to an existing Grosvenor account.
8. If you are planning to use valet parking at The Barracuda, it is safer to ring ahead on +44 20 7935 5013 as there is no shared online booking link.

One small practical tip from casino visits in general: turning up slightly earlier in the evening usually means quieter tables, more time to look around, and staff who are less rushed if you have questions about how a game works.

The Online Side of Things

Grosvenor’s online casino and sportsbook live at grosvenorcasinos.com and are operated by The Rank Group. For players located in Great Britain, the site is regulated by the UK Gambling Commission under account number 57924. Outside Great Britain, the operation is also licensed through the Government of Gibraltar, overseen by the Gibraltar Gambling Commissioner under licences RGL 133 and RGL 134.

Online, the mix of products covers slots, live dealer tables, digital versions of casino games and sports betting. If you are a regular at the Marylebone venues, you can connect your in-person visits with an online account so that loyalty points and eligible offers carry over both ways. Grosvenor has clearly set it up to run as one joined-up system rather than two separate worlds.

Signing up or logging in is fairly standard:

1. Visit grosvenorcasinos.com or open the mobile app.
2. Choose “Join” if you are new, or “Log In” if you already registered.
3. New members are asked for basic details - name, date of birth, address and contact info.
4. Identity checks follow, in line with UK rules, and have to clear before you can play for real money.
5. From the main navigation, move into “Casino” or “Sports” depending on what you want.
6. Pick a game or market, set your stake within the visible limits and confirm.
7. To tie in your physical club activity, open Account Settings and find the section dealing with club cards or rewards.
8. Withdrawals are handled in the “Cashier” area: choose your payment method, fill in the amount and submit.

Licensing - The Actual Details

Grosvenor Casinos Limited holds the land-based casino permissions under UK Gambling Commission account 614. Within that, licence number 000614-N-103221-018 covers Casino 1968 Act Non-Remote and Casino 2005 Act Non-Remote business, while 000614-R-310112-012 relates to Casino Remote services. Another related company, Grosvenor Casinos (GC) Limited, operates under account 34161, with licence numbers 034161-N-315520-014 and 034161-R-315519-012.

The registered head office address for Grosvenor Casinos Limited is: Rank Group, TOR, Saint-Cloud Way, Maidenhead, SL6 8BN, United Kingdom.

Both companies sit within The Rank Group plc structure. If you want to double-check anything around licence status, the UK Gambling Commission public register at gamblingcommission.gov.uk is the reference point. That list is kept up to date and carries more weight than any marketing copy.

Responsible Gambling

Every Grosvenor venue in Great Britain has to work within the UK responsible gambling rules. Age checks at the door are part of that for land-based casinos, and online you go through verification during sign-up. At The Barracuda, the Think 25 approach means staff are expected to ask for ID from anyone who looks under 25, even if clearly above 18 in their own view.

On the digital side, your account includes tools for safer play such as deposit limits, session reminders and options to self-exclude for a period. In the physical casinos, staff receive training in responsible gambling procedures under UKGC licensing requirements. If you want to talk through setting limits or need details about outside support, you can bring it up with a member of staff in venue or look through the responsible gambling section of your online account.

Key Details at a Glance

For up-to-date opening times, special events or changes at the Marylebone casinos, the local casinos section of grosvenorcasinos.com is usually the quickest route. Individual venue pages are refreshed there, so you can scan times and promos without ringing the desk every time.
