Virgin Games quickly became known as one of the best uk casinos online, thanks to their classic Virgin branded, voice and content - including casino games from some of the biggest and best suppliers of online casinos.

A spokesman for the company was not available at time of going to press, therefore it is not clear right now whether current staff at Virgin's London office will be kept on as part of the deal or not, but Gamesys have confirmed that all should be clarified to all involved within the next two weeks.

As well as Jackpot Joy, the new holding company of Virgin specialise is white label casinos - whereby unrelated companies get fully branded casinos supplied, run and serviced by Gamesys.
