01 · The brand
Bought by a rogue group in 2017
Raging Bull opened at ragingbullcasino.com around 2014 as a dollar-play RTG casino for American players, licensed out of Curacao and later moving to the SpinLogic build of the same software. For a few years it was an ordinary name on that circuit. What changed it – and what links it to two other records here – was a sale. Reports in early 2017 had Raging Bull, together with Grand Fortune and Malibu Club, acquired as a job lot by the Virtual Casino Group, which ran as Ace Revenue, and shifted onto that group’s in-house affiliate scheme with nothing said to players or the press.
That new ownership is the fact everything else hangs on. Within a short time the review sites stripped the three casinos of any standing and moved them to their warning lists, on the basis of a consistent pattern of players not being paid. Grand Fortune and Malibu Club both later died and are documented separately here; Raging Bull is the one whose story did not end when its main domain did.
02 · The closing
United States – the homepage that became a dead end
The end of ragingbullcasino.com can be dated closely, because the Internet Archive caught it happening. Web archives last caught a working casino at that address on 5 November 2021. By 27 January 2022 the full homepage had gone, swapped for a page barely a tenth the size, and the site went on serving that same stub for the rest of the year. What it showed was this:
The ragingbullcasino.com homepage as archived through 2022. The contact address is the tell: not a support desk but an inbox at the domain “closed.casino”. The wording apes a geo-block, but the page never lifted, and the address behind it says what it was.
Two details matter for the record. First, the site served that notice as an ordinary page, not as a redirect – a visitor was not bounced to another casino, but shown a dead end. Second, the domain did not simply lapse. A registration check in July 2026 shows ragingbullcasino.com still held and renewed out to 2028, sitting on live nameservers, yet resolving to no casino at all. This is a retired address, kept on a leash, not an abandoned one – which is its own small clue about who was still minding the estate.
03 · The carry-on
The name kept trading at a new address
While ragingbullcasino.com was going dark, the Raging Bull name did not disappear – it was already living at a second address. Registration records show ragingbullslots.com created back in 2018, around the point the brand began styling itself “Slots” rather than “Casino”, and that site is live today, an RTG casino still taking American players, its own pages using the “Raging Bull Casino” and “Raging Bull Slots” names more or less interchangeably. Industry write-ups describe the move plainly, as a rebrand of the same operation onto a fresher domain, which fits the shared name, the shared software and the group history above.
CasinoGone records what can be shown and flags what cannot. What is established: one Raging Bull domain closed behind a notice while another kept trading. What is not established here, and is stated as reported rather than proven: that the live ragingbullslots.com is the same business as the casino that shut. The old domain never redirected to the new one – it served a dead-end page. The two sit under different registrars, and the live site now names a different licence and operator entirely, an Anjouan permit held by Primrose Media Limited rather than the Curacao arrangement of the old brand. Whether that 2024 paperwork represents the same owners under a new coat or a genuine successor is not something the public record settles. The safe reading is the plain one: the brand survived; the continuity of the company behind it is reported, not confirmed.
Raging Bull sits alongside its two dead stablemates in CasinoGone’s roll of offshore casino closures, which sorts the paid endings from the unpaid.
04 · The money
Withheld winnings, then a dead-end page
The funds position on Raging Bull is not a question of one closing day; it is a matter of how the operation behaved for years. From the 2017 takeover onward the casino carried a rogue marking for withholding money. LCB’s warning was blunt – that at these brands, if you won, they would “confiscate your money, close your account and you won’t hear from them ever again” – and Wizard of Odds catalogues the same behaviour: payouts refused and dragged out for weeks, endless document requests, accounts shut after a withdrawal went in. So when ragingbullcasino.com went quiet in early 2022, it went quiet as a casino that had been failing to pay while its doors were still open. Whatever balances sat behind that closure notice are marked unpaid, and the marking rests on the operator’s own documented record rather than on any single dispute.
Clawing real money out of a rogue casino this long after its main domain fell silent is a narrow business, and honesty about the routes matters more than hope.
A card deposit, in theory only: a card charge can be challenged with the issuing bank, but only inside roughly two months of the statement. For a casino that closed in 2022 that window shut years ago, so for most players this route is already gone.
Wire and crypto: nothing to reverse. Once they cleared, they were done, and no bank or network reverses them.
The licence complaint: the casino was Curacao-licensed while it ran, and the licensor there will record a complaint against that permit. It seldom recovers anything and costs nothing, but it is the one channel still open on an old closure.
The brand that still trades: the live Raging Bull Slots runs under a different licence and operator, and there is no evidence it accepts, or would settle, any debt from the closed ragingbullcasino.com. Do not assume the site wearing the name will honour an old balance.
This site keeps a dedicated guide to recovering money from a dead offshore casino – the realistic version.
Stranded balances attract a second wave of predators. The FBI’s IC3 alert I-062424-PSA (24 June 2024) documented fake law firms targeting scam victims, with over $9.9 million in reported losses in a single year, and IC3 stated in August 2025 that it never works with private recovery firms and never contacts victims asking for money. The FTC’s rule of thumb is absolute: any upfront fee to recover money is itself a scam.
- Red flags: upfront, processing, tax or release fees; guaranteed recovery; cold DMs; a move to Telegram or WhatsApp; payment by gift card, crypto or wire; impersonation of law firms or agencies.

05 · The questions
Raging Bull – the questions still open
Q. Is Raging Bull Casino closed?
The original site is. ragingbullcasino.com stopped serving a casino over the winter of 2021-22, replacing its homepage with a “not available in your country” notice, and it has shown nothing since. The Raging Bull name, however, still trades at a separate address, ragingbullslots.com, under a different licence.
Q. Is Raging Bull Slots the same casino as Raging Bull Casino?
It is widely reported as a rebrand of the same brand, and the shared name, RTG software and history all point that way. But on paper the live site sits under a different domain, a different licence (Anjouan) and a differently named operator (Primrose Media Limited), and the old domain never redirected to it. Treat the two as the same brand and a reported continuation, not a company match this record can prove.
Q. Were Raging Bull players paid?
Not reliably. After the 2017 Virtual Casino Group takeover the casino was blacklisted for withholding winnings – confiscated balances, payouts stalled for weeks, accounts closed after a cash-out request. Balances left when the domain fell silent are logged unpaid on that documented record.
Q. Can I get money back from the old Raging Bull?
The routes are narrow this long after the fact. A card dispute only works within about two months of the charge, so a 2022 deposit is out of reach; wire and crypto cannot be reversed at all. A free complaint to the Curacao licensor logs your dispute for the record. Do not expect the live Raging Bull Slots, which runs on different paperwork, to settle a debt from the closed site, and never pay a “recovery” service upfront.
Q. Why does ragingbullcasino.com not load a casino now?
Because it was retired rather than left to expire. The domain is still registered – renewed out to 2028 on live nameservers – but it no longer loads a working casino, only the closure state it entered in 2022. Someone is keeping the address, but nobody is running a casino on it.
