Gone in a Wink
Wink Bingo is now folding into the huge 888 Holdings online casino gambling
group according to a finalized agreement between the two companies. Wink Bingo
is a successful UK internet bingo gambling site that has really found a strong
market over the past couple of years. Currently, Wink Bingo is owned by Daub
Ltd, but according to the deal the 888 online casino gambling group has agreed
to acquire this division of Daub for roughly US $96 million once all of the
staggered payments are made. This new deal is right in line with what we’ve been
seeing a lot of in the gambling industry lately. As the recession fears
multiplied over the past year, many online casinos and smaller gambling groups
have been more willing to consider acquisitions and mergers as a way to weather
out the storm and stay in business.
888 Holdings is one of the huge online casino gambling groups operating in the
international market. The gambling group has a lot of resources and has stayed
profitable and successful throughout the global recession – which has put this
popular gambling group in the ideal position to now acquire the successful Wink
Bingo gaming site. According to the CEO of 888 Holdings, this Wink Bingo
acquisition is perfectly aligned with 888’s key goals and expansion strategies –
develop more UK targeted online casinos and bingo sites.
Wink Bingo will be a very strong future asset for the 888 Holdings online casino
gambling group. The bingo gambling site already has a good deal of brand
recognition in the market and all of this brand equity will now enhance and
augment the 888 brand in the UK market. |
