 Review of Blue Square Bet business
Â
The Rank Group ("Rank" or the "Group") announces today that it is to undertake a review of its Blue Square Bet business. The business operates solely in the digital channel of the highly competitive sports betting market where it continues to generate an operating loss.
Â
Rank intends to focus its resources on further developing Grosvenor Casino and Mecca as multi-channel brands meeting customer needs in gaming-based entertainment via venues, online and through mobile devices.
Â
A further update will be provided in due course.
