Playtech, a leading gambling technology company, has struck a long-term deal with BVGroup to enhance its bingo offerings. BVGroup, which operates brands like BetVictor and Heart Bingo, has chosen Playtech as its exclusive bingo provider. This means BVGroup’s brands will now have access to custom-made games from Playtech’s Eyecon studio. The transition to Playtech’s advanced bingo platform is a strategic move, expected to level up BVGroup’s bingo experience for players.
A New Home for Playtech’s Bingo Platform
Just days after sealing the deal, BetVictor and Heart Bingo started migrating their bingo services to Playtech’s cutting-edge platform. Known for its smooth gameplay and eye-catching visuals, this platform is designed to make online bingo more engaging and accessible.
Marat Koss, Playtech’s VP of Interactive Gaming, shared his excitement about the partnership:
“We are excited to welcome BVGroup to the Playtech Bingo network. This is a strategic move for BVGroup to transition their Bingo product to Playtech’s new cutting-edge Bingo platform. Heart Bingo is one of the industry’s most successful and well-known brands, and we look forward to working with the BVGroup team to maximize its potential and further strengthen our position as the largest B2B network. We are delighted that BVGroup shares our vision for Bingo and look forward to a long and successful partnership.”
Playtech has long been a powerhouse in the UK’s online gaming market, and this deal further expands its influence. For BVGroup, this partnership means tapping into Playtech’s vast network and expertise, ensuring a better bingo experience for players.
Dayle Fenton, Head of Casino at BVGroup, expressed confidence in the collaboration:
“We are delighted to deepen our relationship with Playtech and use their industry-leading Bingo platform. Playtech's wide-ranging knowledge and network will improve our product and enable us to give our players an even more interesting experience. We think working together will improve our products and confirm our place in the market. For BVGroup, this represents an exciting new chapter; we eagerly await calling 'house' on many fascinating initiatives and campaigns going forward, but for now, eyes down.”
Adding More Fun to Bingo in 2025
BVGroup isn’t wasting any time. Campaigns promoting its upgraded bingo services are already in motion. But this deal isn’t just about traditional bingo—it’s also bringing in some exciting side games. Playtech’s Eyecon studio, famous for hits like Fluffy Favourites, will be adding a mix of engaging mini-games to keep players entertained between rounds. BVGroup sees this variety as a way to keep things fresh and attract a wider audience.
The companies are also betting on these extra games to convert casual players into regulars. Given Eyecon’s track record, they’re likely to succeed—especially as the online gambling industry continues to grow. In fact, a recent Forbes report values the global iGaming industry at over $100 billion, with even more growth expected in 2025.
Bingo has always been a beloved pastime in the UK, from community hall games to online platforms. Playtech’s goal is to make bingo even more accessible and entertaining in the digital space.
Shaping the Future of Online Gambling
This partnership isn’t just about improving bingo—it’s about setting new standards in the gaming industry. Playtech’s bingo platform is designed for speed and ease of use, meaning no more long loading times or clunky menus. Early feedback suggests players are already enjoying the upgrade.
Beyond smoother gameplay, Playtech’s bingo network encourages social interaction. Players can chat with each other during games, bringing back the community feel of traditional bingo halls.
This collaboration is part of a broader trend in the gambling industry. Big companies like Playtech are forming strategic alliances to stay competitive. Meanwhile, regulations are tightening, and players are becoming more selective about where they gamble. By partnering with Playtech, BVGroup is ensuring it stays ahead of the curve.

The Playtech-BVGroup deal is a game-changer for the bingo world. Players can expect a more dynamic experience, fresh game options, and an overall smoother platform. Both companies see this as a major step forward, and bingo fans have plenty to look forward to. As Playtech and BVGroup roll out new features, one thing is clear—bingo is making a big comeback.
