Exclusive Sun Bingo Interview!
12th August, 2009
Gaming Alerts has gained an exclusive interview with Jonathan Mann from Market Ace, the company that promotes Sun Bingo, among others. Here he talks about the industry as a whole and what's ahead for the Sun Bingo brand.
1) How did you first get into the gaming industry?
I started my career at National Australia Group, working in the bank’s fraud control department. It was interesting work, involving a lot of internet transaction monitoring. It was an easy transfer into the world of online gaming. I took a role at Aqua Online in 2001, monitoring their transactions for fraud, across their various web casino, virtual horse racing, and bingo brands.
2) I understand you’re promoting the Sun bingo 100 cars giveaway, please can you tell us more about it?
Sun Bingo’s Seize the Summer promotion will see 100 people winning a Fiat cars between 17th July and 27th September. If you want to take part in this massive event, you simply need to spend £2 or more in a day to receive an entry into the daily draw. If you prefer the slot games, you'll receive an entry when £10 has been played.
For a second entry into the daily draw, simply make a deposit into your Sun Bingo account in addition to the above and that will earn you a second entry.
3) What are your thoughts on PartyGaming’s acquisition of Cashcade?
In my opinion, this kind of consolidation helps strengthen our industry, as players can be sure that larger operators are more responsible. Industry analysts have said that this will be a useful benchmark for the ways in which future deals are struck.
I welcome this kind of activity, as I see it as a positive way for protecting players who – after all – are the most important people in all of this.
4) Why did Sun bingo choose jackpot Joy Gamesys as its partner?
The Gamesys Group is one of the UK's leading online gaming businesses. In 2006 they were named No. 1 in the Microsoft/Sunday Times Tech Track 100 League Table, a list they've appeared on every year since. This feat reflects both the company's capacity for sustainable growth, and its remarkable resilience even during periods of financial instability. Given this astonishing pedigree and their software’s reputation for a market-leading gaming entertainment experience, Gamesys was a natural fit for Sun Bingo’s 2008 move away from the Tombola platform.
5) Do you have any other upcoming events or promotions you’re excited about?
There's always so much going on at Sun Bingo! There are new promotions all the time. There's fantastic week of Free Bingo coming 17th - 23rd August, and we're all excited by the prospect of cool X Factor slots! Keep checking back, as it's updated all the time!
