Who is Virgin Games Owned By?

At Virgin Games, we know our players like to be informed, not just about the online casino games and jackpots on offer, but about who's behind the brand itself. If you've wondered about the story behind the site, how it fits into the wider Virgin brand, and which company operates the games you play every day, you're in the right place. 

Here's everything you need to know about who owns Virgin Games and how that ownership shapes the experience you get when you log on to play. 

Who Owns Virgin Games?

Virgin Games is operated in the UK by Gamesys Operations Limited, a company that's part of Bally’s Interactive. 

Bally's is a well-established name in the global gaming industry, owning and operating casinos, interactive gaming platforms, and entertainment venues across the United States and beyond. Virgin Games sits within its interactive gaming division, alongside other well-known online casino brands. 

You might recognise the Virgin name as part of the wider Virgin Group; the iconic brand founded by Sir Richard Branson that spans travel, entertainment, health, and more. Virgin Games operates under the licence of the Virgin brand, bringing the same spirit of fun, innovation, and customer focus that people have come to expect from all Virgin companies. 

So, while Virgin Games is proudly part of the Virgin family, it's the team at Bally's that operates the site day-to-day in the UK.

What Year Was Virgin Games Founded? Our History in a Nutshell

Virgin Games first launched in 2004, bringing the well-known Virgin brand into the online gaming world. From the start, the idea was simple: to create a UK online casino that puts players first, with thrilling games, an easy-to-use site, and customer service you could rely on. 

In 2013, the operation of Virgin Games was taken over by Gamesys Group, which already operated several successful online gaming brands at the time. This helped expand Virgin Games' offering, adding even more slot games and features, while keeping the unique Virgin personality that players already loved. 

Gamesys itself then became part of Bally's Corporation in 2021, creating a bigger, international gaming business that brings years of gaming expertise to the table. 

That's where we are today: a site with nearly two decades of experience, backed by one of the biggest names in the industry, and still operating with the values of entertainment, fairness, and customer care. After all, at Virgin Games, we're serious about play, and always have been.

What About the Virgin Group?

Virgin Games is one of many businesses that carry the Virgin name, and we're proud to be part of that family. 

The Virgin Group is known all over the world for its focus on customer experience, innovation, and a touch of fun. That's what we bring to Virgin Games every day - whether you're spinning the reels on a new online slot, playing for a progressive jackpot, or chatting to our customer support team. 

While Virgin Group doesn't operate Virgin Games directly, we do work closely to ensure everything about the site reflects the Virgin values players expect.

Why Does Ownership Matter?

Knowing who owns and operates the site you play on isn't just an interesting fact; it also matters when it comes to things like: 

• Safety and security: Being part of a large, regulated company means we take your data and your play seriously. 
• Fairness: All our online games are tested to ensure they're fair and random, and we're committed to responsible gaming practices. 
• Innovation: Being part of a global gaming business means we can keep investing in better games, bigger jackpots, and a smoother experience. 

We believe being part of Bally's and the Virgin brand is the best of both worlds: big enough to deliver a top-class experience, but still personal enough to care about each player. Because we're serious about making sure you can enjoy playing online casino games safely and fairly.
