In 2012, GameSys became the first-ever gambling operator to launch a real-money casino application. Bingo Friendzy was a ground-breaking app that merged the social gaming and online gambling market, but it has been reported that the company has recently withdrawn the appliance.
The news broke when players received an email from the operator, informing them to withdraw what remaining funds they had left in their accounts on Bingo Friendzy and Slots Friendzy apps. The operator stated that they will “sadly wave goodbye” to their customers. It comes as quite a shock to the online gaming market.
In the two years that Bingo Friendzy and Slots Friendzy have been around, there have never been any reported issues on either application. Players seemed to enjoy the games available, and each app had thousands of follower and players. At this time, GameSys has yet to provide a reason as to why the application has been withdrawn.
All we know is that players will no longer be able to access Bingo Friendzy and Slots Friendzy from Wednesday onwards. Players who still wish to use Facebook as a real money gambling platform still have some options. 888 Holdings launched MAGIC888 in 2013, and the application is still going strong. There are 11 000 active users, so players will have plenty of opportunities to social through the app.
Several online casino games are available, including card games, pokies and even casino games. Zynga Plus Poker is the real-money version of the popular play-money poker app, Zynga Poker. The free version was a huge hit among players, and now the real-money version sees 10 000+ users every month. The withdrawal of GameSys from the Facebook gambling market is still fresh news, so little is known at the moment.
We will keep you updated with further developments as they arise.
