Channel Five will be launching new online bingo and casino sites in the next six months. It will be operated by PartyGaming, the firm behind Party Bingo and will be branded with the Five name.
PartyGaming already have experience of running a bingo operation for a broadcaster as they were behind ITV Bingo and Bingo Night Live which have since ceased trading.
Dawn Airey, chair and chief executive of Channel Five told The Telegraph, “Five is looking aggressively at how to expand its presence in digital media both in terms of its core broadcast content as well as its allied offerings that reflect the channel’s unique sense of dynamism and fun.
“We look forward to a long and prosperous partnership with PartyGaming whose job it will be to create for Five’s audience the very best gaming experience.”
