VF2011 Casinos
The VF2011 Limited casinos include The Sun Vegas, Sun Bingo, Fabulous Bingo and Fabulous Vegas.
All VF2011 Limited Sites
The Sun Vegas
The Sun Vegas stands out as the most recognisable among the VF2011 Limited casino sites, a distinction it emphasises with its specific branding. For some reason, while The Sun newspaper drops its “the” in “Sun Bingo” for its bingo site, it opts for the clumsier “The Sun Vegas” for its premier casino site. Although The Sun isn’t the only British newspaper to venture into the casino business, its substantial public presence likely attracts more traffic to The Sun Vegas compared to other media-owned sites like Star Wins or Mirror Bingo. However, the casino itself is quite a basic one. Despite The Sun’s reputation for bold, brash, and occasionally provocative content, The Sun Vegas opts for a more subdued approach, offering modest bonuses and a fine, albeit unremarkable, assortment of slots and games. On a more positive note, The Sun Vegas offers several unique own-brand slots and games, ideal for players seeking new iGaming experiences.
Sun Bingo
Although we’ve already said that The Sun Vegas is the most famous of the VF2011 Limited casinos, we’d wager that Sun Bingo is likely just as recognisable to many of our readers. The newspaper promotes both of its iGaming platforms effectively, keeping them in the public eye at all times. It’s interesting to note that there’s quite a bit of overlap in the offerings at The Sun Vegas and Sun Bingo. You might assume Sun Bingo would exclusively feature bingo and The Sun Vegas would focus on casino offerings, but that’s not entirely the case. Sun Bingo also provides a variety of casino games and slots. Nevertheless, these are secondary to its primary focus on a rich array of bingo games and rooms, many of which are exclusive to Sun Bingo. You won’t find them at the other VF2011 Limited sites – not even at Fabulous Bingo. Speaking of Fabulous Bingo, let’s go there next.
Fabulous Bingo
You can categorise the VF2011 Limited sites into two groups: those under the Sun brand and those under the Fabulous brand, which VF2011 Limited introduced much later once the Sun sites were well-established. It’s debatable whether another bingo site is necessary within a network that already includes Sun Bingo, but it seems the operator is keen on making Fabulous Bingo a success. This commitment was shown with a significant revamp in 2022, followed by another in 2023 after the efforts made the previous year didn’t quite hit the mark. Comparing Fabulous Bingo to Sun Bingo isn’t an easy task, but regardless of whether it surpasses its more famous sibling, Fabulous Bingo still stands as a solid choice for bingo fans within the limited range of options that exists on this network. However, it’s peculiar that some of its prizes are displayed in dollars, especially since it’s a site targeting the UK market with a .co.uk domain.
Fabulous Vegas
Fabulous Vegas was conceived as an offshoot of the Fabulous Bingo brand, similar to the way Sun Vegas was born from from Sun Bingo. VF2011 has developed a consistent approach with its sites and is clearly committed to this formula. As the latest addition to their portfolio, you would expect Fabulous Vegas to be the sleekest and most contemporary of the bunch. Unfortunately, it falls short. There’s nothing fundamentally terrible about Fabulous Vegas’s design, but its simple blue background and minimalist style fail to deliver any of the Las Vegas glitz its name suggests. A more significant issue is the redundancy of its offerings; Fabulous Bingo already features a range of slot games, many of which are identical to those at Fabulous Vegas. Essentially, Fabulous Vegas is just Fabulous Bingo without the bingo and dressed in different clothes. There’s little reason to visit if you’re familiar with the other sites on the network, unless you’re specifically looking to change things up.
VF2011 News
: VF 2011 always seems to be on the hunt for new staff members, which isn’t exactly promising for potential candidates, insinuating that there is a high staff turnover, but if that doesn’t leave you fazed and you’ve always wanted to become an integral part of a rapidly growing iGaming company, see if you’re a fit for the Promotions Executive role. This position, located in Gibraltar, offers a dynamic work environment where the main task involves crafting and overseeing promotional campaigns for a renowned gaming brand managed by Playtech. As a Promotions Executive, your role will encompass the development and coordination of marketing plans, managing the creation of promotional materials, and ensuring all content, including terms and conditions, aligns with brand standards. You’ll be responsible for preparing monthly promotional presentations for various brands, and collaborating closely with marketing and CRM teams to optimise campaigns and drive player engagement.
This role also requires hands-on involvement in setting up bonus templates and leaderboards, ensuring everything is prepped and ready for campaign launches. Ideal candidates will possess experience in the gaming industry, although familiarity with back-office systems like IMS and VF is advantageous but not essential. Key skills required include outstanding organisational capabilities, adeptness at meeting tight deadlines in a fast-paced setting, and strong communication abilities. Proficiency in Excel and Power BI is also beneficial, alongside a high level of English proficiency. The job ad also iterates that VF 2011 Ltd, part of Playtech’s B2C division, is committed to diversity and inclusivity in the workplace, promoting a collaborative and supportive team environment.
: The VF 2011 platform, Sun Bingo, isn’t overly reliant on reviews from bingo critics due to the publicity gained through the Sun Newspaper, but it was interesting to see what Bingotastic thought about the platform when they reviewed the bingo hub this week. Bingotastic’s review praised Sun Bingo for its long-standing reputation since its launch in 2006, highlighting the partnership with Playtech’s Virtue Fusion software, which has allowed the site to expand its range of bingo and slot games. With a welcome offer that includes seven days of free bingo games and a £50 bonus with 50 free spins for players who deposit and spend £10, the site delivers solid value for new users. Additionally, the wagering requirements are relatively modest, with a 4x playthrough on the bingo bonus and 30x on winnings from free spins.
Sun Bingo’s game selection was also commended, offering everything from 75-ball to 90-ball bingo, with tickets priced as low as a penny, making it accessible for players with varying budgets. Exclusive games like Mystic Meg and The Sun Winning Headlines add a unique touch to the platform, especially for fans of The Sun newspaper. The review also pointed out the generous jackpot games and frequent promotions that keep players engaged, alongside the option to try slots in practice mode before committing real money. Bingotastic appreciated the fast, simple registration process, as well as the low minimum deposit and withdrawal limit of just £5, though the review did note that some withdrawal methods could be quicker.
: “Every Spinner is a Winner” is back again at Sun Bingo, which remains the most popular of the VF2011 sites by some considerable distance. The competition, which tends to make a comeback every year even though Sun Bingo always insists that “when it’s done, it’s done,” offered guaranteed prizes to players. Not all of the prizes are worth having, but you still won’t find many bingo sites that offer their players guaranteed prizes in this day and age. The prizes on the fabled wheel include physical gifts, cash, free bingo games and free spins to use in the Sun Bingo casino. As always, Sun Bingo turned to The Sun newspaper to help it publicise the return of the promotion. No other iGaming brand in the UK can claim to have access to such powerful free marketing.
Weirdly, the article in the online version of The Sun spends a lot of time talking about the London Eye, presumably for no reason other than the fact that the London Eye is also a wheel, and also spins every day. Perhaps the article needed padding out because there isn’t much more to the Sun Bingo competition than we’ve told you here. There are ten prizes of one hundred free spins to be won, twenty prizes of fifty spins, fifty prizes of thirty spins, one hundred and twenty-five prizes of twenty spins, and four hundred prizes of ten free spins. That’s over fifty thousand free spins in total, and that’s not even to mention the other prizes on the wheel – although we suppose we already did.
: The Sun newspaper may have a questionable reputation, but as outlined in a recent review by Bojoko, The Sun Vegas, one of VF 2011’s top platforms, celebrates a slightly better rep. Bojoko explains that after launching in 2019, the site brings the familiar branding of the British newspaper to the world of online gaming. The platform, built on Playtech’s robust technology, offers a solid, though not exceptional, gaming experience with a variety of games, good mobile accessibility, and reliable customer support. New players are greeted with a 100% deposit match bonus up to £300, which seems attractive at first glance. However, Bojoko points out that the wagering requirements attached to this bonus are steep, with a 50x playthrough requirement on both the deposit and bonus amounts. This high requirement is significantly above the UK average of 35x, making the bonus less appealing and potentially off-putting for many players.
While the platform offers a loyalty points system where players can convert points into cash, the overall bonus structure could benefit from more player-friendly terms. The game selection at The Sun Vegas was described as decent, with titles from reputable providers such as Microgaming, Playtech, and Pragmatic Play. However, the platform’s game library is not as extensive as some of its competitors, which might be a drawback for players seeking a broader variety of options. To make up for the slightly lacklustre library of games, Bojoko found that the casino’s interface is user-friendly, and the mobile experience is particularly smooth, making it easy for players to enjoy their favourite games on the go.
: VF 2011, a subsidiary of Playtech, is currently hiring a senior digital marketing exec. The role, based in Gibraltar, involves managing and optimising paid marketing channels for B2C brands, including Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, and Facebook. The position requires creating marketing assets and offers, reviewing performance metrics, and identifying trends within the UK gaming market. Key responsibilities include daily management and review of paid platforms, collaborating with agency partners to ensure effective campaign management and analysing data to measure and optimise digital marketing effectiveness. The role also involves monitoring acquisition performance, developing marketing offers, and improving customer experiences through collaboration with internal teams. Regular tasks include optimising landing pages, managing SEO efforts, and presenting marketing performance insights in meetings.
Candidates should have solid experience with popular paid search and social platforms, such as Google Ads and Facebook, and be proficient in analytics tools like Google Analytics. Strong organisational skills, time management, and excellent communication abilities are essential. An analytical mindset and the ability to research market trends are also crucial for this role. The ideal candidate will have experience with B2C website analysis, a proficiency in MS Excel, PowerPoint, and Word, and additional knowledge of the UK gaming market is a plus. VF 2011 values empowerment, support, and mentoring, offering constant learning and development opportunities. The company promotes an active lifestyle and mental well-being through various company events and activities. The company emphasises the importance of diverse thoughts and experiences, believing that they lead to better business decisions, this is just one of the ways in which Playtech reflects its commitment to responsible business practices, ensuring transparency and recognising individual differences.
: The VF2011 platform, Fabulous Vegas, cut through the confusion to detail the difference between online casino games and live casino games to provide an ultimate buyer’s guide to casino content. As gambling becomes more accessible, the choice between online and live casino games offers distinct experiences tailored to various player preferences. Fabulous Vegas informs that automated online casino games provide a much more laid-back experience with require less hands-on involvement, as many of the tasks are automated by the software. In contrast, live casino games provide a more interactive experience, with real-time engagement with dealers and other players. This setup can facilitate the social aspect of gambling, offering real-time communication and a sense of camaraderie that online games sometimes lack. This interaction can also give players a greater sense of control over the game, as they are invited to use strategies instead of depending on the luck of the draws.
The blog also informs that online casinos, compared to physical casinos, excel in convenience and accessibility. They are available 24/7 and can be accessed from almost any device, although regional restrictions and device compatibility can sometimes pose challenges. Whether you choose to engage with games which have live dealers overseeing all of the action or try your luck and wager on your own time with automated games, all of the online casinos in the VF2011 network, including Fabulous Vegas and Sun Bingo have a wealth of games to choose from. Additionally, you will also find ample bonuses and promotions that cater to every kind of player.
: The biggest gambling platform operated by VF2011, Sun Bingo, has recently enlisted the Sun newspaper to inform readers of its myriad of bonus features. Sun Bingo always has a diverse range of promotions and offers, ensuring players have ample opportunities to win big, and this week has been no exception to the platform’s benevolent rule. Currently, the platform is buzzing with exciting promotions; among these is the Spin-Go Britain Wheel, which has been revamped with a Britain’s Got Talent theme. Players qualify by either being new members who have registered in the past 30 days or existing members who have deposited and staked £10 within the last 30 days. Spinning the wheel between midday and midnight can yield prizes such as BGT Slingo bonuses, BGT Superstar side game bonuses, BGT bingo tickets, entry to free bingo sessions, and £50 cash.
Additionally, Sun Bingo is offering a Mega Wheel promotion, where players can win even bigger prizes. By depositing and staking £10, players earn a spin on the Mega Wheel the following day, with potential rewards including cash, free spins, free bingo, and bingo tickets. Another enticing promotion is the £13,000 Ultra Prize Draw, running from Friday 24th May to Thursday 30th May. Players can opt in, deposit £10, and stake £20 on select games to qualify for this draw, which offers a variety of prizes including cash, slot bonuses, tangible gifts, and free spins for those who do not win other prizes. For those looking to maximise their chances, Sun Bingo also offers 10 free tickets when purchasing 20 tickets for the monthly £100,000 bingo game, where the full house prize is a substantial £75,000.
: One of the biggest VF2011 platforms, Sun Bingo, has recently unveiled an opportunity for its members to participate in the £13k Ultra Prize Draw. This event promises significant cash rewards, bonuses and a plethora of gifts, ensuring that every participant has a chance to win something. The total prize pool includes £5,000 in cash, £4,000 in bonuses, and £3,000 in gifts, with an additional 10,000 free spins distributed among those who do not win these prizes. To partake in this lucrative draw, members must opt in and stake a minimum of £20 on selected Jackpot King games between April 26th and May 6th. Players can earn double tickets by playing specific games such as King Kong Cash Even Bigger, Eye Of Horus the Golden Tablet Jackpot King, and Luck of the Irish Gold Spins Fortune Play Jackpot King, thereby increasing their chances of winning. The prizes range from £1,000 in cash to various slots bonuses, and the luckiest of players can win gift prizes valued up to £300 each.

All About VF2011 Limited
VF2011 Adverts
VF2011 is always commissioning adverts for its flagship brand Sun Bingo; however, the three other brands under the casino brand operator, The Sun Vegas, Fabulous Vegas and Fabulous Bingo linger in the shadows of the spotlight. In fact, Fabulous Bingo hasn’t been seen on TV screens since 2017. The 2017 Fabulous Bingo ad wasn’t overly original and was far from memorable. It showed a series of women consumed by their smartphones/laptops as they played bingo online while striking a pose in supermarkets, cafes, and in the comfort of their own homes. After the marginally cringey advert played out to portray how ‘fabulous’ you will feel as you play Fabulous Bingo games, the welcome bonus of £5 in free bingo games was revealed, which undoubtedly turned many players onto the relatively unknown platform.
Love it or loathe it, you cannot deny that the 2022 ‘Are You Gonna Bingo’ advert for Sun Bingo was an efficacious way for the bingo brand to bring even more brand awareness to the platform which is also always being advertised at every opportunity in the Sun newspaper. On the 4th of May in 2022, The Sun pulled all of its advertising modes together and published an online article which allows you to meet the stars of the infamous advert which depicts a diverse set of bingo fans asking each other if ‘they are going to bingo’. Most of them excitedly accepted the offer, apart from the ‘Shower Man’, who didn’t appreciate his shower being interrupted by the question but digressed that he was keen to play later. As explained by the article, the main objective of the TV advert was to paint Sun Bingo as a lively, vibrant and diverse online community which always puts the emphasis on responsibly having fun alongside thousands of happy-go-lucky bingo lovers.
The article in the Sun also alludes to how the advert follows a hattrick win at the 2021 Which Bingo award ceremony, which saw Sun Bingo snag three awards, including the best bingo site accolade, proving that the momentum for Sun Bingo, and subsequently VF2011 continues to grow, as does the platform’s credibility, which is vital given the newspaper the platform is branded on is somewhat lacking in that respect.
VF2011 Sponsorships and Partnerships
Of all the brands under VF2011, none have been quite as successful in the sponsorship game as Sun Bingo; its biggest sponsorship deal to date was the bingo platform’s sponsorship of the Jeremy Kyle show from July 2018 to May 2019. The partnership marked a new chapter for the show’s sponsorship history, which had previously been associated with Foxy Bingo from 2008 to 2017 and then Slingo Boom for a short and sweet year. Sun Bingo’s sponsorship was notable for its innovative approach, including the use of the show’s social media assets for promotional activities. Jayde Adams, the recognisable face from Sun Bingo’s “Are You Gonna Bingo?” campaign, was brought back to feature in the idents for this new sponsorship. The creative force behind these idents was The & Partnership London and Pulse, the in-house agency of News UK. This collaboration aimed to reach a new audience and add a fresh, humorous element to the show’s advertising segments.
Yan Elliott, the joint executive creative director at The & Partnership London, also shared his delight in working with comedian Jayde Adams again, aiming to create relatable and genuinely funny characters for the campaign.
VF2011 Affiliate Program
If you want to be an affiliate partner for any of the VF2011 online casino or bingo brands, unfortunately, you are a little too late to the party. All of the platforms, including Fabulous Bingo and Fabulous Vegas previously enlisted affiliate partners through The Sun Affiliates Program, which launched five years ago and has since closed. It doesn’t appear that any other affiliate program has been conceived since affiliates were shown the proverbial door, which may boil down to the lack of need for affiliates when the Sun Newspaper is always keen to do all the marketing work for the VF2011 platforms.
VF2011 on Social Media
All of the VF2011 brands are incredibly active on social media, especially Facebook, so, if you want to give them a follow, you can stay entertained with their frequently posted engaging content and be in with a chance of winning prizes by participating in the mini-games. For example, to get their followers excited for Easter, Fabulous Bingo shared a mini Easter Treasure hunt, any followers who participated by screenshotting the completed puzzle which helps a rabbit through a labyrinthic maze to a bunch of carrots were in the running for a special ‘Easter-themed prize’. Meanwhile, on the 22nd of March, on the Sun Bingo Facebook page, which has 33,000 followers, the social media team was counting down to the Celebrity Big Brother finale. Additionally, anyone who used the code ‘Bigfinale’ while the final episode was airing could receive 10 free bingo tickets.
VF2011 in the Press
Unlike some of its platforms which are consistently deemed as newsworthy, VF2011’s name isn’t often mentioned in the press – it doesn’t even appear to have its own website. VF2011 is only ever included in articles on the subject of its casinos and bingo sites in passing. The only real exception to this rule is in a review of Fabulous Bingo which appeared on the website How About Bingo.
Barring its licencing information, there aren’t many publicly available details about VF2011, but this review alluded to how VF2011 is also known as Virtue Fusion, which just so happens to be a wider part of the Playtech Family. This goes a fair way in explaining why Fabulous Bingo was relaunched in 2021 as a Playtech-powered bingo site, and why when you explore the game library on Sun Bingo and The Sun Vegas, you will constantly be bombarded, and almost over-faced, by Playtech games. Furthermore, you will also note if you check out the promotions at The Sun Vegas, most of them revolve around Playtech games, such as the perpetually popular Age of the Gods series of slots.
