Elsewhere, online gambling technology outfit Playtech has inked a deal to migrate the online bingo operation of UK media mavens Trinity Mirror from 888 Holdings’ B2B division Dragonfish to Playtech’s Virtue Fusion subsidiary. Trinity Mirror will join William Hill, Gala Bingo and Mecca Bingo on Virtue Fusion’s tier 1 list, which will also allow Trinity Mirror to offer Virtue Fusion’s new tablet bingo app as well as Playtech’s full library of online casino content.
The deal will initially focus on Trinity Mirror’s Daily Mirror and Daily Record brands. Trinity Mirror has been aggressively diversifying its online gambling options this year. In April, it teamed with the Racing Post on a racing-focused affiliate site and with Paddy Power on a sports betting site. Tinrity Mirror’s head of group partnerships Mark O’Donnell claimed to be right chuffed to have gained access to Virtue Fusion’s “best-in-market products” while Virtue Fusion COO Daniel Philips claimed to be “proud to be associated with a market-leading media brand.”
