The website was launched as recently as 2012 and, as with many bingo sites the ownership arrangements are complex, and the presence of Big Brother doesn’t make that any less so. Ok, here we go: Dutch TV company Endemol UK, in association with Channel Five and under license from parent company Endemol Netherlands B.V., license the Big Brother brand to Cassava Enterprises.
Simple? Ok, let me go on. Cassava, who are owned by the gambling giants 888 Holdings plc, operate Big Brother Bingo (under a license and regulation from the Government of Gibraltar) as part of the Joy of Bingo network, which is owned by 888 and powered by Brigend Limited (Brigend being itself being a wholly owned subsidiary of Cassava)!
Thankfully, the only bits of all that corporate mumbo jumbo that really matter to you as a bingo fan are positive in nature. Firstly, the company at the very top of the structure, 888, are a huge company, with vast financial resources and a good, solid, trustworthy reputation. Secondly, the fact it is part of a network makes for better software and bigger progressive prizes. Happy days!
The site itself offers the usual selection of bingo games and, although it is primarily a bingo offering, there are also slots, scratch cards, progressive jackpot slots and a very limited selection of basic casino games.
Customer service is pretty good, with help available from the in-room Chat Managers, as well as via UK Freephone, live chat and email. All options are 24/7 and are as efficient as you would expect from such a well-backed website.
Big Brother Bingo is a very solid site and for fans of the TV show it is an absolute must, with various TV-related promotions and features. Even those who hate Big Brother will find the bingo and games provision here to be up there with the very best so why not sign up and play right now?
