ATLANTIC CITY, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Online game maker Gamesys and Virgin Group today announced the launch of their new online gambling site, VirginCasino.com. Unique game play, responsible gaming practices, and investing in New Jersey and its residents are top priorities of the newest entrant to the state's recently legalized online gambling market.
Virgin Casino was among the first online casinos granted approval from the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement in November to launch a 24-hour Internet gaming operation in the state. Virgin Casino has big plans for New Jersey, which includes assisting the struggling job market by making New Jersey its casino gaming headquarters in the U.S.
'We've been rehearsing this moment for several years in the UK, including dealing with players who have bet more than $4.3 billion on Gamesys games in 2013,' explained Lee Fenton, Gamesys' COO. 'VirginCasino.com has the most sought-after products, the most outrageous promotions, and a completely fun, safe online gambling experience designed especially for our new friends in New Jersey.'
One of the newest and greatest gameplay experiences is the Community Jackpot, which holds steady at $20,000 even after a player hits the Grand Prize. When the player wins a $10,000 jackpot all active players within the past hour are eligible for a share of another $10,000 jackpot. Plus, card fees are nonexistent so players won't have to pay a fee just to access their money.
A safe gambling experience was a development focal point for Virgin Casino during the lengthy creation process. Virgin Casino protects the identity and money of its users by using the technology, encryption and complex layers of security now employed in banks—those same technologies used in verifying the person's identity and location. Virgin Casino's checks and balances system sets limits for both playing time and the amount of money that can be deposited over a period of time to help people manage their time and allotment of game play.
The British billionaire founder of the Virgin Group is ready to take New Jersey by storm with the announcement that his company has teamed up with Gamesys to a new (and legal) online gambling site. Virgin Casino is one of the only online casinos in the United States with true, multi-player bingo. The Virgin bingo room hosts 90-ball bingo games around the clock complete with multiple winning patterns, a 'Super Jackpot,' shared jackpots and a chat room that provides the critical community aspect.
Virgin Casinowill showcase more than 30 uniquely designed casino games such as blackjack, roulette, baccarat and amazing slots like Secrets of the Phoenix.Many more games and slots are in the works for later in 2014.
'We hope to provide New Jersey players with a globally leading, safe, fun and rewarding online gambling experience,' said Sir Richard Branson, founder of Virgin Group.

Finally, you can go to Atlantic City and not actually have to leave your hotel room.
The Virgin Group—founded by everyone's favorite British kajillionaire, Richard Branson—has partnered with Gamesys to open Virgin Casino, a new, legal online gambling site for people in the Garden State.
(In case you haven't been avidly following New Jersey's virtual casino news, online gambling was legalized in the state last November.)
Though online gambling (or, at least, legal online gambling) has been off to a pretty slow start in New Jersey, Gamesys COO Lee Fenton seemed pretty sure that people are going to (virtually) flock to Virgin's new online enterprise.

'There's a lot of games on there that are tried and trusted from the casino floor, but there's also a load of unique content—slot content or jackpot content that you can't find in any brick-and-mortar casino,' Gamesys COO Lee Fenton told Betabeat.
True to Virgin's c-c-craaaaaazy reputation, the Virgin Casino will apparently be giving out a butt ton of money. With a much-hyped communal jackpot feature, any time a user wins $10,000, another $10,000 will be split amongst all the other users currently logged into the site—and Mr. Fenton said we can expect the jackpots' values to get even higher in the future.
And more good, #relevant news: Mr. Fenton assured us that users won't have to worry about their personal data being leaked to some sketchy Russian mafia peeps.

'We're certainly not worried about data leaks,' he said. 'All of our technology is state of the art….We look at multiple different databases to verify the player is who they say they are, and make sure that they are of a legal age, and make sure the player is physically in New Jersey when they wager.' Cool.
