Gamesys has acquired Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Games for an undisclosed sum along with this  deal, Gamesys has signed a ‘long-term deal’ to develop real money and social gambling properties, globally, under the Virgin brand.

Originally started in late 2003, Virgin Games is wholly owned by Richard Branson’s Virgin Group and offers casino (poker, slots, bingo and other) games for the Web and mobile devices.

Gamesys operates one of the UK’s leading bingo and slots website Jackpotjoy among other brands, such as The Sun Bingo and Caesars Casino, aside from developing its own social gaming properties.

A Gamesys spokesman said that it aims to migrate the Virgin Games site onto its own platform and relaunch it in the UK later this quarter. In a statement, Richard Branson said:

“We are delighted the Gamesys Group has acquired Virgin Games and formed a partnership to build a global games business. Simon Burridge and his team built a strong platform and now with the help of the Gamesys Group we can expand further internationally. We believe the Gamesys Group shares our vision and will be great partners in the sector.”
