We are Gamesys
Together we invent games and create experiences that thrill our players.
We are on a mission to become the world’s most entertaining online gaming company. It all started with Jackpotjoy but along the way we have grown into the award-winning team of designers, developers and operators behind some of the leading gaming sites and apps including Virgin Games and Caesar’s Casino. But, we haven’t stopped there... we’re also behind Bingo Lane, Jackpotjoy Slots and other great free-to-play games.
Born in 2001 with just a handful of developers, we are now over 1000 employees strong across 7 group offices worldwide with our headquarters in Central London. Over 24 million players enjoy our 258 games, generating on average 6,028 chat messages every 15 minutes! Whether it be through the awards we've won for innovation in Bingo and Slots, our commitment to using cutting edge technology, or simply our passion to innovate, thrill, and surprise, Gamesys constantly pushes the boundaries to be the best in class.
Why join us?
We have an incredibly unique way of doing things that can take some getting used to! We don’t just create the most amazing games, we’re an entertainment company. We make it our business to recruit the most enthusiastic, innovative and talented people where employees enjoy their work and our Members (game players) also enjoy the fruits of their labour.
Ours is no ordinary working environment – we thrive on a culture of success where our people are talented and empowered in their roles. We pride ourselves on staff loyalty and strong teams who work together to achieve success.
We want to fill our company with passionate people who will promote and maintain the best entertainment experiences that make us one of the most popular online gaming providers.

Chat host advice and resources
Finding work as an online bingo chat host or moderator can be extremely challenging as generally there are always more people looking for work than there are jobs available. For every job posted here, the operator is likely to get several hundred applicants, so you need to ensure that your application stands out from the crowd.
The first thing operators look for is someone with chat hosting experience, but if you’re completely new to hosting then demonstrating you have experience of their particular product and how their chat hosts conduct themselves is a great way to get noticed. Play at the site (if you know which it is) and pay attention to what the chat hosts are doing.
Ensuring you've got the equipment required and a reliable internet connection is crucial if the job is a work from home position. Have a backup plan in case your internet connection goes down or your computer breaks, and re-assure the operator by mentioning this in your application.
Don't worry too much about your CV. Unless you've got prior experience in chat hosting or a related field, it's unlikely the operator will give it much attention. Put all your efforts in writing a convincing covering letter that highlights your skills that directly relate to the job, such as bingo experience, typing skills, and whether you know how to use programs like word / excel that are usually required as part of the role.
