Essentially, this is the largest online bingo network servicing the UK. There is confusion around what it’s actually called down to the history of the network and its purchase by 888 Holdings. This confusion has been compounded by a lack of literature and clarification from the companies involved with its history, but we’ll try to put it together for you.
The Globalcom network grew to be one of the largest in the UK during the first decade of the 21st century. As well as the network, Globalcom also provided the software which was licensed out for use by other networks. Then in 2008 the network and software was bought by 888 Holdings. From there, 888 subsidiary Dragonfish took over management of the network in 2009, and run it to this day.
Confusingly, you’ll hear the network referred to by any of its three monikers – The Globalcom Bingo Network, The 888 Bingo Network and The Dragonfish Bingo Network. Players know it by a number of different names, and you also have to throw Cassava into the mix. Cassava are another 888 subsidiary who now control the Cassava Bingo Software and its licensing to other operators. Technically though, we believe that the Dragonfish Bingo Network name is the one we should stick too here on in.
The Dragonfish Bingo Network is run from and licensed in Gibraltar. Despite being the biggest network, it’s fair to say that most UK players won’t have heard of many of the brands the network supports – they have no real big hard hitters in the network. There is little chance for any site in the network to customise its offering beyond the standard ‘skin.’ However, it remains a popular chain of sites with its easy to use software and banking interface.
