888 Looks Toward South Africa Giant in online casinos, 888, is doing more big business with its business to business division called Dragonfish. Dragonfish now has its eyes set on online casinos in South Africa. Under a partnership with the Tsogo Sun Gaming Group, 888 will provide online bingo games for the newly regulated South African online gaming market. 888 now seems focused on developing partnerships in markets where online casinos are regulated. This ensures, some what, a long term viability for their products. Gabi Campos, Managing Director for Dragonfish, feels very positive about the agreement to focus on expansion in markets where online casinos are regulated. “Dragonfish’s technology infrastructure provides an excellent platform for partnerships with land based casinos,” said Campos. “TSG’s casinos provide a world-class, personalised gaming experience, and through partnering with Dragonfish we can provide them with the expertise and cutting-edge online gaming solutions to convert their strong brand into a successful position in the online gaming world.” The Tsogo Sun Group also stands to benefit from this new partnership. Before offering online casinos software, Tsogo Sun focused on online sportsbooks. Dragonfish will supply the group with technology, payment processing system, a call center, and online marketing. “Tsogo is a dynamic and innovative leader of gaming in South Africa so our move into online gaming is a natural progression for the business,” said Chief Financial Officer of the Tsogo Sun Group, Marcel von Aulock. “Dragonfish has a proven pedigree in online gaming technology delivery and this partnership provides an excellent platform to expand our offering.” |
