Chief Executive of Dragonfish leaves

mabel — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 11:23:06 +0000

In a sudden announcement it has been revealed that Gabi Campos, who was the Chief Executive of Dragonfish, the business-to-business division of 888, has left the company to pursue his own personal projects. He will be replaced by Gigi Levy, the 888 Chief Executive until a replacement is found, which is expected to be announced within the next month.

Dragonfish is the bingo software provider to several large online bingo brands, including Costa Bingo, Think Bingo, Wink Bingo, Foxy Bingo and the recently launched Bingoyard. It was launched in March 2009 with Campos in charge. He had been in the company for nearly 2 years then, and had overseen the acquisition of Globalcom, the software provider to brands such as Mirror Bingo, Bingo Scotland and Foxy Bingo. Dragonfish was conceived to provide a business-to-business service to media companies who wanted to enter the bingo, casino, sportsbook and poker world but with lower overheads. Dragonfish was launched at the same time as a deal to power the Racing Post’s online gambling operations was announced.

An unidentified source who has knowledge of 888’s operations has said; “The relationship between Gabi and Gigi seems to have become increasingly strained, especially as Dragonfish is perceived as the only growth area of the business. Gabi definitely saw it as his own kingdom and would have liked to have eventually seen it spun-off. In the end it was his personal decision to leave. It definitely didn’t help that 888 failed to buy both GTS and Cashcade, both of which they were in a position to execute and then didn’t do so. There was a feeling that these two could have been key deals and to lose them to Playtech and Party doesn’t look good to the City, especially at a time when profits are dropping. But you should remember that 888 is hugely cash generative and it would be silly to write them off.”

We recently reported how 888 had surprised the City with a profits warning, although at the same time they said that internet bingo was the shining light in an otherwise gloomy report.

The Managing Director of Dragonfish, Gabi Campos said; “Costa has blazed a trail over the past year and shown what is still achievable in the maturing UK bingo market. We have worked hard with them to adapt our software to deliver some highly innovative customer acquisition and retention activities. They are committing a substantial marketing investment and we look forward to helping the Costa bingo business further over the coming years.”

Richard Skelhorn, the CEO of Costa Bingo commented; “Dragonfish has allowed us to focus our skills on player acquisition, which has been really important to the business over the last ten months. We are really pleased with the first year’s growth to date, and will continue to invest in the Costa Bingo brand, and look forward to launching new rooms on the Dragonfish platform this year.”

Costa Bingo are constantly coming up with new ideas to try to keep ahead of the game in the fast moving world of internet bingo. They have several new marketing projects on the go as part of their extended deal with Dragonfish. Their Free Bingo is one of the most popular sections on their site, which is one of the busiest in the UK market. Rather than go down the traditional advertising path they have targeted new media, which has helped them to gain more players. As part of their deal they got Dragonfish to alter their software, so that players at Costa Bingo could invite their friends on social networking sites, Facebook for example, to join the site.
