The Rooms and the Software

Daub rooms had a rich history. Every one of them focused on UK players, and the games ran on Daub's own proprietary software.

Daub also built slots and scratch cards. The Grease slot was one of its better-known releases.

The company held two licences: the Alderney Gambling Commission and the UK Gambling Commission. That meant players at Daub sites had real regulatory protection.

Who was behind Daub

Daub was a young company with an experienced team. That team built the first version of its bingo software and sold it to 888 Holdings, then ran on that software for a time under an agreement between the two companies.

The same people created and managed two rooms you will recognise: Posh Bingo and Wink Bingo.

What the Rooms Carried

Later rooms added games from other studios alongside Daub's own.

ProviderWhat They Supplied
DaubBingo software and scratch cards
IGTSlot games
BallySlot games
MicrogamingSlots and progressive jackpots
Play'n GOSlot games
EyeconSlots, including the Fluffy series
NetEntSlot games

Both 75 ball and 90 ball bingo ran across the network.

How Daub Grew

Daub expanded quickly by buying other operators. It took over the Leapfrog rooms, 8 Ball Bingo and Tarco. At its peak it owned and ran more than 100 bingo brands.

King Jackpot, Jackpot Liner and Jackpot Cafe were all part of that empire. Those three were download rooms rather than Daub-software sites, and all three stayed popular with UK players.

Daub also ran two online casinos, both licensed and regulated in the UK.

With Rank PLC in charge, the sites have folded into the Virtue Fusion and Dragonfish networks.
