Pronounced 'B-go', BGO Entertainment hit the ground running when it was established in 2012. Founders Alexander Holt and Richard Skelhorn decided to utilise their joint wealth of experience and launch their own online gaming company. The company is privately owned and operates across Europe. It is licensed by the Alderney Gambling Control Commission.

BGO Entertainment is an umbrella banner that covers a number of enterprises including BGO Bingo, BGO Sports, BGO Vegas, BGO Casino and BGO Macau. As you'd probably anticipate, the first two elements of the BGO site concentrate on bingo and sports betting respectively. The bingo site uses software not found anywhere else. Meanwhile, BGO Vegas focusses on slots and boasts titles from leading games developers such as NetEnt, Microgaming and IGT. BGO Casino is a dream for customers who love to play card and table games. If you prefer the thrill of a live dealer casino experience then BGO Maucau is the company's choice for you. Each element of the BGO Entertainment brand is tied together with a similar design and the same protagonists, including The Boss, being present throughout the BGO portfolio.

BGO Entertainment products are available to play on both iOS and Android mobile devices as well as desktop computers. The fact that BGO has become one of the UK's leading iGaming companies in such a short space of time is testament to the quality of the brand.

In 2014 BGO Entertainment teamed up with Playtech and has been part of the industry giant's cutting edge platform since the summer of 2015. This has allowed BGO to focus on its ambitious plans for the future, which includes creating an even bigger and better gaming experience for players.

Co-founder & Technical Director at Play Cash Games

Matthew Kennedy co-founded Take Marketing Limited in 2008 alongside Becky Mosley and has worked in the UK online gambling industry ever since. He runs the technical side of the operation, building and maintaining the platforms that power Play Cash Games and the wider Take Marketing portfolio.

Matt's role is hands-on. He writes the code behind the offer feeds, the comparison tools readers use, and the back-office systems that keep every casino listing accurate and current. If you have used a feature on this site, the chances are he built it. He is also responsible for site performance, mobile usability, and the technical SEO that lets a small independent comparison site compete with much larger publishers.

Over 17 years in the industry, Matt has worked directly with affiliate platforms, casino operators, and software providers. He has seen the market move from desktop Flash slots to mobile-first HTML5, lived through every iteration of UK Gambling Commission rules, and built the systems that keep our coverage compliant as regulation evolves. He has a particular interest in responsible gambling tooling and player-fund safety — the parts of the industry most people do not see but that matter most.
