The Gamesys Group was founded by Noel Hayden in April 2001 with a small team of developers.

The aim was to build a profitable online entertainment business providing Instant Win, Bingo and Casino games to a large audience using proprietary gaming software.

After seven years, the Group's leading brand Jackpotjoy.com has built an audience of over 2 million members and pays out in excess of £80 million every month.

The success of Jackpotjoy.com has established the Gamesys Group as one of the UK's leading online gaming businesses. The Group's compound annual sales growth rate over the last three years is over 300% resulting in Gamesys being named No.1 in the Microsoft/Sunday Times 2006 Tech Track 100 League Table, followed by a 17th place in 2007.

In October 2007, Jackpotjoy won the Egaming Bingo Operator of the Year award.
From humble beginnings Jackpotjoy has grown into a business of nearly ninety employees with offices in London, Stoke, Barcelona and Malta.

In June 2008 Jackpotjoy was highly commended in two categories at the annual A4U Awards: Best Use of Creative and the Gaming Vertical. Additionally affiliate manager Jasper van der Bliek was nominated in the affiliate manager of the year award.
