Bingo Sites Owned and.or Operated by 888 Holdings
888 own a number of huge, well-known bingo sites. Most of these bingo sites are run through their 888 UK Limited licence, which is held in the UK by way of one of the many 888 owned subsidieries.
888.Com also owns Brigend Limited, which is a bingo software and payment processing company. The Brigend Limited bingo platform is for dedicated bingo sites who wish to utilize one of 888′s services on a non-networked, independent platform. This is ideal for larger and better-established bingo sites, whilst the Dragonfish bingo and gaming platform is preferred for smaller bingo sites that do not have a substantial player count under their care.

A subsidiary called 888 UK Limited controls all 888’s UK facing operations and all “in network” 888 bingo sites facing the UK.

In 2009, 888 Holdings purchased the Joy of Bingo portfolio of bingo sites. At the time, Joy of Bingo was the biggest collection of uniquely branded bingo sites to take up home on 888’s Brigend Limited bingo software platform. Upon purchasing these Joy of Bingo sites, Wink Bingo (the biggest of all the Joy of Bingo sites) gave way in their market share to competitors such as Mandalay Media owned Costa Bingo and their newly launched XBingo. After sitting on their laurels for what seems like years, Joy of Bingo finally “did something” in an effort to separate themselves from the pack. Combined with 888Ladies, Joy of Bingo launched a VIP Program that literally dwarves all other loyalty programs offered by other bingo sites. The Joy of Bingo VIP Program (the Joy Gem VIP Club) is designed to bring back players of old and reward all who play regularly at their bingo sites.
To become a member of this exclusive JoyGem Club, you need to make a deposit and wager either £2000 on any one JOB website or £5000 across any of the Joy of Bingo sites (defined as 888Ladies, Tasty Bingo, Wink Bingo, Posh Bingo, RedBus Bingo, and Bingo Street). Upon doing so, you are able to “join the club”. Members of this VIP club receive benefits such as higher reload bonuses, invites to exclusive games and events, tons of exclusive and special prizes, and a VIP rep that handles anything you come across!
888 branded bingo sites
In addition to the Joy of Bingo portfolio of bingo sites, 888 directly owns and operates their own set of “888 branded” bingo sites. It should come as no surprise that these sites “typically” carry the 888 name in their branding. The biggest of the bunch is 888Ladies and these sites that are actually owned by 888 are as follows:
- 888Ladies
- 888 Bingo
- 888Bingo Sweden
- Celeb Bingo
- 888 Bonus Bingo
- El Cartonazo Bingo
- Bingo Fabulous
- 888 Games Bingo
- King Solomons Bingo
