Before you join MrQ: the six answers
A casino, slots and bingo site with no sportsbook, licensed since 2023 to a different company from the one that started it. This is what the register and MrQ’s own pages say, and what they leave open.
Updated Register read 8 November 2026
In brief
MrQ answers all six questions plainly. Tek Fox Ltd holds the licence and is named in the current version of MrQ’s terms; the regulator has listed nothing against it since 1 January 2024; verification at sign-up comes before any deposit or game; and recent help articles cover limits, time-outs, self-exclusion, GAMSTOP and each step of a withdrawal.
Dates are visible on everything we relied on, from help articles revised during 2026 to version 1.4 of the terms, dated 29 September 2026. The only item left open is the UK site’s footer, which we were unable to read.
One more thing worth knowing: the company behind MrQ changed in 2023. If you meet the name Lindar Media on older pages, that company is now licensed for software only.
Licence: Tek Fox Ltd took over in 2023
Question 1 of 6 · Licence
Who holds the licence?
Tek Fox Ltd (account 60629) holds a Casino Remote licence that dates from 29 September 2023, and MrQ's terms name it as the licence holder. The earlier company behind MrQ, Lindar Media Limited, now holds only a software licence.
Read at: Gambling Commission register, account 60629 (read on 8 November 2026); MrQ terms and conditions, version 1.4 (page date 29 September 2026)
Plain answer
The casino licence for mrq.com is held by Tek Fox Ltd, account 60629, with a registered address in Birkirkara, Malta. It has been active since 29 September 2023 and sits beside a bingo licence, with “mr q” shown as a trading name. Version 1.4 of MrQ’s terms, dated 29 September 2026, names Tek Fox Ltd as the licence holder, so operator and register agree.
Before that date MrQ ran under Lindar Media Limited. Lindar Media still has a register entry, yet all it holds now is a licence to supply gambling software, and its listing of mrq.com reads inactive. For you this means two things: the company you deal with as a customer is Tek Fox Ltd, and any older article, screenshot or email naming Lindar Media as the casino operator is out of date.
The mark is plain because the register and a dated version of the terms point to one company and the handover is finished rather than half-way. Our link goes to mrq.com, the domain on Tek Fox’s entry. mrq.co.uk exists but only forwards visitors to the mrq.com home page, so type the .com address if you go there directly.
| Company | Account | What it holds now |
|---|---|---|
| Tek Fox Ltd | 60629 | Remote casino and bingo licences since 29 September 2023 |
| Lindar Media Limited | 51250 | Gambling software licence only; mrq.com inactive |
Regulator: nothing published against Tek Fox since 2024
Question 2 of 6 · Regulator record
What has the regulator done since 2024?
The register shows no regulatory action against Tek Fox Ltd from January 2024 to the day of our check.
Read at: Gambling Commission register, account 60629 (read on 8 November 2026)
Plain answer
We read the regulatory actions for account 60629 on 8 November 2026. From 1 January 2024 to that day the list was empty: no penalty, no payment in lieu, no warning and no added licence condition.
Two details help you read that correctly. First, Tek Fox has held this licence only since September 2023, so the period we look at covers nearly all of its time as MrQ’s licence holder. Second, actions are recorded against companies, not brands, so anything concerning Lindar Media would sit on Lindar Media’s own entry rather than here.
A plain answer here places MrQ in the first group of our list, where operators appear alphabetically. Position is not praise. Look at the register yourself before you sign up; it takes a minute and shows anything published after our reading.
Checks: verification comes before the first deposit
Question 3 of 6 · Checks
What is checked before you play?
An electronic check runs at sign-up, and until the account is verified you can neither deposit nor play. Sign-up also requires you to be 18 or over, live in the UK and not be registered with GAMSTOP.
Read at: MrQ help: verification (page date 9 August 2026); MrQ help: opening an account (page date 2 August 2026)
Plain answer
Two help articles settle this question: one on verification, revised on 9 August 2026, and one on opening an account, revised on 2 August 2026. The order they describe is strict. MrQ checks your details electronically during sign-up, and while the account remains unverified the cashier and the games stay closed to you. The verification article also lists the identity and address documents MrQ takes if the electronic check is not enough.
Sign-up has three entry conditions: adulthood, an address in the UK, and no active GAMSTOP registration. The last one matters. If you have joined GAMSTOP, the scheme is doing its job when MrQ turns you away, and no GB-licensed site should take you on until your registration has run its course.
The answer is plain because both pages are recent and describe the sequence the Commission expects of every licence holder: age and identity confirmed before any gambling or deposit. Enter details that match your ID and bank, and keep a document to hand in case the electronic step cannot confirm you. Our guide to financial risk checks covers the separate questions about money that can come later.
Limits: deposit caps, a cooling-off and timed reminders
Question 4 of 6 · Limits
Which limits can you set?
Deposit and net deposit limits can be set per day, week or month; raising or removing one starts a 24-hour cooling-off and then needs confirming. Reality checks run from 30 minutes to 4 hours.
Read at: MrQ help: deposit limits (page date 29 September 2026); MrQ help: safer gambling tools (page date 1 September 2026)
Plain answer
Two help articles describe MrQ’s controls: one on deposit limits, revised on 29 September 2026, and one on safer gambling tools, revised on 1 September 2026.
Deposit and net deposit limits
You can cap deposits by day, week or month, either as a straight deposit limit or as a net deposit limit. In general terms a net figure means deposits less withdrawals across the period, so taking money out frees room under it. Lowering a limit is the safe direction. Any increase, or removing a limit altogether, triggers a 24-hour cooling-off, and once it ends you must confirm the change yourself, which gives you a day to decide whether you really want it.
Reality checks
A reality check is a reminder that appears while you play and shows how long the session has lasted. MrQ lets you set the interval from half an hour up to four hours. Shorter intervals are more useful than they sound on slots and bingo, where rounds follow each other without a natural pause.
Limits MrQ sets itself
The deposit limit article also describes fixed limits applied on MrQ’s side. For an account that was once registered with GAMSTOP, the limit is £500 a month, and raising it takes evidence of income; MrQ says such a limit usually stays at no more than 30% of average monthly income.
The answer is plain: every tool is described with its settings on recent, dated pages from the operator.
Two GB rules sit alongside. Anyone joining a licensed site after 31 October 2025 meets a prompt to cap deposits before their opening payment. And a single spin on an online slot may not exceed £5, falling to £2 for players aged 18 to 24. Those caps limit each bet, not your total, so the deposit limit is still the one that protects your budget.
Breaks: from 24 hours away to a permanent stop
Question 5 of 6 · Breaks
How do you take a break or stop?
A time-out can be 24 hours, 48 hours, a week or up to six weeks and cannot be ended early. Self-exclusion is offered for 6 months, 9 months, 1 year, 5 years or permanently, and GAMSTOP has its own help article.
Read at: MrQ help: safer gambling tools (page date 1 September 2026); MrQ help: GAMSTOP (page date 12 March 2026)
Plain answer
The safer gambling article, revised on 1 September 2026, gives you three ways to step back, and they suit different situations. A time-out is for a pause whose end you already know, such as a weekend or a month when money is tight, and once set it cannot be shortened, which is the point: the decision is made while you are calm. Self-exclusion is for a decision that should survive a change of heart, and MrQ’s list of periods includes a nine-month step and a permanent option.
GAMSTOP, which MrQ explains in a separate help article from 12 March 2026, is for when the concern is gambling anywhere rather than just here. GAMSTOP costs nothing, and its registration periods are six months, a year and five years. All online operators licensed in Great Britain must apply it, so registering closes MrQ at the same moment as every other GB-licensed site.
A self-exclusion at MrQ and a GAMSTOP registration can run side by side, which covers the gap if one ends before the other. The answer is plain because lengths, options and the GAMSTOP route all appear on recent operator pages. Our page help if gambling hurts lists further free support.
Withdrawals: MrQ’s £10 floor, no fee and no way back
Question 6 of 6 · Withdrawals
How is a withdrawal handled?
You choose Withdraw from the account menu, enter an amount of at least £10 and confirm. Money goes to your active payment method with no fee taken, and once submitted it cannot be put back into your MrQ balance.
Read at: MrQ help: how to withdraw (page date 12 August 2026); MrQ terms and conditions, version 1.4 (page date 29 September 2026)
Plain answer
MrQ’s help article on withdrawing, revised on 12 August 2026, describes a short request made from the menu behind your avatar, and version 1.4 of the terms fills in the rules around it. Keep at least £10 in the balance if you want to take money out, and expect no deduction from MrQ itself.
Where the money goes is decided by your active payment method, which MrQ’s help describes as the method you last deposited with. If that method has not been used for six months, you will be asked to confirm it again. This is MrQ’s version of the same-method rule, so choose your deposit method with the way back in mind.
A submitted request stays submitted: the money cannot go back into your MrQ balance. That matches the GB rule in force since October 2021, which bars every licence holder from offering to reverse a withdrawal, so choose the amount with care. And credit cards have been off limits for gambling since April 2020.
The answer is plain: steps, minimum, fees and the destination of the money are all stated on dated operator pages. If a request does stall, ask support which check is outstanding, send what is missing and keep a note of the day you sent it; that record is what a complaint would rest on.
Paying in, support, complaints and customer funds
| Topic | What we read |
|---|---|
| Paying in | Visa Debit, Mastercard Debit, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Easy Bank Transfer and PayPal; credit cards are refused (help centre, 26 September 2026). |
| Support | Live chat from 9am to 9pm every day and email; no phone line (help centre, 1 September 2026). |
| Complaints and disputes | A formal complaint can take up to eight weeks; after that the dispute service is IBAS. |
| Customer funds | Medium protection: customer money is kept in a separate client funds account (terms, 29 September 2026). |
MrQ in brief: casino, slots and bingo
MrQ is a casino site without a sportsbook. Its products are casino games, slots and bingo, and Tek Fox holds licences for both casino and bingo play. If you want to bet on sport, this is not the place; if you would rather keep sport out of reach, there is one product fewer on the same account.
We leave individual game titles out of this answer file; none of them changes the six answers.
Paying in at MrQ, and where the money sits
A help article revised on 26 September 2026 lists PayPal, Easy Bank Transfer, Google Pay, Apple Pay and debit cards from Visa or Mastercard as the ways to pay in. Credit cards are refused, as they are across GB-licensed gambling.
Set your deposit limit at the prompt before the first deposit. If you choose the net version, money you withdraw opens room under it again; decide in advance whether you want to use that room or leave it alone.
The terms describe medium protection for customer money, which MrQ keeps in a separate client funds account. On the Commission’s three-point scale that counts as medium, and what each point means is covered in our guide to protection of player funds.
Live chat hours and the complaint route
According to MrQ’s help centre, live chat is staffed from 9am to 9pm every day, an email address covers anything that can wait, and there is no phone line. Outside chat hours, write down what happened, with dates and amounts, so you can raise it the next morning.
- Raise the complaint with MrQ, ideally in writing, and keep its reference. MrQ says a formal complaint can take up to eight weeks.
- If you are still unhappy after that, or MrQ sends its final response sooner, the case can go to IBAS, the alternative dispute resolution (ADR) service MrQ names.
- Tell the Gambling Commission if you believe Tek Fox Ltd has broken the conditions of its licence. It will not rule on your individual case, but it does use what customers report.

Questions readers ask
I have seen Lindar Media named as MrQ’s operator. Is that still right?
No. Since 29 September 2023 the casino licence for mrq.com has been held by Tek Fox Ltd, account 60629, and MrQ’s terms name that company. Lindar Media Limited’s entry now covers software supply alone, with mrq.com shown as inactive.
I typed mrq.co.uk. Am I in the right place?
You should land there: mrq.co.uk forwards you to the home page of mrq.com, the domain on Tek Fox Ltd’s register entry. Look at the address bar once the page has loaded; it should read mrq.com and nothing else.
I want a break, not a full stop. Which tool fits?
A time-out: at MrQ it lasts from 24 hours up to six weeks, ends by itself and cannot be cut short once set. If you are not sure a short pause will be enough, self-exclusion is the firmer choice, and GAMSTOP extends it to every GB-licensed site.
I raised my deposit limit. Why can I not use it yet?
Because any increase at MrQ sits through a 24-hour cooling-off, after which you confirm it yourself. The wait gives you a day to decide whether you really want the higher figure; if in doubt, leave the old one in place.
I have signed up but cannot deposit. What is wrong?
Probably nothing: MrQ keeps the cashier and the games closed until your account is verified. If the electronic check could not confirm you, the verification article lists the documents you can upload instead.
I clicked through from Playvoralox. Does that change anything?
Your account is opened directly with MrQ under its own terms. The link may earn us a commission, which is why it is marked Advertising, but it has no effect on the marks or the order; see who we are.
Before you open an account
On the sign-up page, look at the browser’s address line: it should say mrq.com, because copies of casino sites lean on names that look almost right. Choose your deposit cap and a reminder interval while signing up, before the first deposit, rather than after a session that went further than planned. MrQ is for adults aged 18 and over, as is every site on Playvoralox.
