Playtech signs five-year Sun Bingo deal

Virtue Fusion, Playtech's bingo division, has agreed a five-year deal with News UK to operate its Sun Bingo and Fabulous Bingo websites and mobile variants.

The sites will launch in August 2016 following the migration of existing players to Virtue Fusion's leading UK bingo network.

The agreement is aligned with Playtech's core strategy of supplying the world's leading operators, sportsbooks and media brands with market-leading software and services in regulated markets.

Sun Bingo was established in 2005 and is one of the UK's largest and most popular bingo sites.

Mor Weizer, CEO, Playtech, said:

"The Playtech-powered Sun Bingo will use cutting-edge technology to offer best-performing and highly innovative bingo and side games, with fantastic promotions and prizes and the industry's largest jackpots. This is a fantastic partnership that is aligned with our ongoing strategy of working with the best operators and media brands in regulated markets. We look forward to working closely with News UK to deliver a first-class product."
