QuickThink Media Client List

QuickThink Media already have clients such as Iceland, Bet365, PaddyPower and Ladbrokes to name but a few.

Gaming Realms was founded by the team behind Cashcade which is the brand behind bringing Foxy Bingo to online communities. As this was one of the first companies to promote online bingo, its online social platform grew as it didn’t have much competition at the time. Now a days most bingo brands are online first before they do any bingo halls as online bingo is where there is money to be made and where the brand is more accessible to folk along with mobile and tablets.

Most online bingo brands either focus on their gaming online then branch out to include mobile and tablet games to entice customers to depsoit some money and win a prize in the end. Gaming Realms takeover of QuickThink Media may be a shock to some but a genius idea bringing two successful companies together and marketing them as a partnership with one another.
