About Globalcom

Globalcom included independent bingo sites along with bingo site networks. Being part of a bingo network means players at Globalcom sites could access large jackpot bingo games. Each site powered by Globalcom ran at least one pre-buy jackpot game weekly, and some sites ran more.

Another popular feature that attracted so many players to Globalcom bingo sites is the offer of free bingo with actual cash prize winnings. Sites including Costa Bingo and Cheeky Bingo offer regular free bingo, with no deposit required, and players can win real money prizes in dedicated free bingo rooms, available 24/7.

When Globalcom Became The Dragonfish Bingo Network

After a hugely successful takeover of Globalcom, Dragonfish Bingo Network became an industry leader, comprising over 60 successful online bingo sites. One of the biggest draws for players at Dragonfish bingo sites is the huge jackpots, as much as £1,000,000 per game, pre-buy games, progressive jackpot games, and incentives from the points-accumulated rewards scheme.

Although each Dragonfish Bingo site is unique, with different themes and designs, they all supply the same bonuses, games, and player incentives. Dragonfish customises all sites to suit its players' needs and requirements. All Dragonfish Bingo sites are home to a great community of bingo players, with an advanced online chat facility and chat games, all providing the perfect online social life for its players.

Casinoflex

As Dragonfish evolved, they created ‘Casinoflex’. Casinoflex enabled the company to supply a one-stop casino solution, which meant an individual could set up an online or mobile casino site and utilise Dragonfish software. The individual then can work in the Network or become a standalone brand. A standalone brand offers its players unique offers and promotions, but these are more limited in numbers as they do not have the backup of the network behind them. At the same time, a brand running on the Network has the same offers and promotions as all the other brands within the Dragonfish Network.

Dragonfish Sale to Broadway Gaming

Under 888 Holdings, GlobalCom was integrated into the company's broader operations, with its bingo software branded under the name Dragonfish. Dragonfish quickly established itself as one of the leading B2B providers in the online bingo market, powering many well-known bingo and slot sites such as Wink Bingo, Costa Bingo, and 888 Ladies. The software was praised for its robust performance, user-friendly interface, and extensive integration with other gaming providers, which allowed it to offer a comprehensive range of gaming options.

However, in 2022, as part of a strategic shift, 888 Holdings decided to sell its Dragonfish bingo division to Broadway Gaming for $50 million. This decision was made following a review of 888’s business priorities, where it was determined that the bingo segment, despite its success, was not as profitable as other areas like casino and sports betting. The sale included both the B2B and B2C operations of Dragonfish, with all associated brands and their operations being transferred to Broadway Gaming’s new subsidiary, Grand Battery Holdings Limited.

This transition marked the end of Dragonfish's association with 888 Holdings and the beginning of a new chapter under Broadway Gaming. The acquisition allowed Broadway to significantly expand its presence in the online bingo market, aiming to become the leading operator in the UK. For 888 Holdings, the sale enabled the company to focus more on its core markets and simplify its regulatory and compliance requirements.
