Globalcom and Cassave are both part of a complex network of companies that are mostly associated with the 888 brand and the Dragonfish network of bingo sites, but their actual functions are not widely publicised. Officially, the structure is as follows:

888 Holdings fully own Globalcom, who they bought out in 2007. 888 Holdings own a variety of brands like 888 Poker, 888 Casino and many more – and in 2007 they bought Globalcom which was a bingo software company, so they could launch bingo products under the 888 brand using software originally developed by Globalcom.

Globalcom therefore became somewhat obsolete as a brand, with everything developed by them to bring bingo games onto the web now owned by 888 Holdings.

Globalcom complex structure

However, 888 Holdings are exactly what they sound like: they are just a holding company. The actual businesses that operate their casino, slot, bingo and poker games all feed into 888 Holdings, and one such business is Cassava Enterprises. Cassava are the official, Gibraltar-licenced operators of a large number of bingo sites – most famously those on the Dragonfish network – and they are the name that will appear on the sites at the bottom as the operator of the site.

However, it gets even more complex because Cassava work on a white label basis: This means that they licence their software out to smaller companies who are technically the official operators: These companies will generally never identify themselves on the sites that they run, and they don’t need to as Cassava take care of all their software and customer service needs.

Standalone and network bingo sites

Although Cassava let operators use their software and other services on a standalone basis, you’ll generally see their name on sites bearing the Dragonfish logo: This is because the Dragonfish network is the largest bingo network on the web - but the software they use is still that which was originally developed by Globalcom, bought by 888 Holdings and licenced by 888 via their Cassava subsidiary.
