The Gamesys Group was founded by Noel Hayden in April 2001 with a small team of developers.
An appearance on The Times Tech Track 100 reflects a company’s ability to grow rapidly, and as such most companies won’t appear on it more than once. Gamesys is one of only two companies to be listed four years in a row (2006-2010) - appearing in pole position in 2006. This feat reflects both the company's capacity for sustainable growth and its remarkable resilience even during periods of financial instability.
After eight years, the Group's leading brand Jackpotjoy.com has built an audience of over 4,000,000 members. The site creates 10 new winners every second and awards over £4,000,000 in cash payouts every day. Earlier this year, Experian Hitwise announced that Jackpotjoy were officially the UK’s most popular Bingo site for the whole of 2010.
Gamesys also manage Bingo sites for the UK’s favourite newspaper, The Sun, as well as working in partnership with Global Radio and Heart FM, which is the most listened to commercial radio station in the UK, to develop Heart Games.
In November 2009, Gamesys launched iwi, a business unit dedicated to producing social games. Since their launch, iwi have produced six games which are currently enjoyed by over 1.7m unique users every month.
March 2010 saw Gamesys announced their partnership with Harrahs, the largest gaming operator in the world and owner of Las Vegas' most prestigious and famous Casino brands. The partnership has since launched Caesars Bingo and Caesars Casino Online in the UK market.
But Gamesys success is not limited to the UK, as the group also run Spain’s number one Bingo site, Botemania, and plan to launch in more markets in 2012.
With a clear emphasis on a strong core product and an ability to work with partners from across the world, Gamesys are firmly established as one of the UK's most dynamic online gaming businesses.
