An exclusive feature for MrQ players
Uses Pariplay’s ‘Ultimate Tournament Tool’
First tourney runs until 20th of April
Prizes include an iPad, Airpods, a Fitbit and more

Lindar Media, operator of MrQ.com has furthered its partnership with Pariplay Ltd. by offering MrQ players exclusive slot tournaments.

The integration of Pariplay’s Ultimate Tournament Tool into MrQ’s proprietary bingo platform means players can now take part in slot tournaments to win prizes.

MrQ is the first bingo site to offer these tournament features to its players, which are fully integrated within the site and include live leaderboards and instant notifications, informing players of their rank and prize.

The first tourney is running from midday on 20th April until 23:59 on 26th April. After opting in to the tourney, players are awarded one ticket for every £1 wagered on any of the qualifying games. At the end of this debut tournament, the five players who accumulate the most points will be rewarded with real prizes, including an iPad, Airpods, a Fitbit and more.

This exclusive offering is just another step in Lindar Media and Pariplay’s partnership, which started after the integration of Pariplay’s FUSION aggregation platform more than doubled the slot game offering on MrQ.

Savvas Fellas, Managing Director at Lindar Media, had the following to say: “Pariplay has allowed MrQ.com the flexibility and agility we are so committed to preserving as we grow.

“The tournament feature allows us the flexibility to set up and run cross-vendor slot tournaments with a really nice UI, and to enhance our users’ experiences with different digital and physical prizes.”

MrQ was the first bingo site to offer uncapped real money winnings to players, with no wagering required.

Following the official launch of MrQ, affiliates are now invited to sign up to start promoting the site at mrqaffiliates.com, with commission of up to 70% revenue share available for a promotional period of three months.

The MrQ Partners platform is powered by Raven, providing new affiliates with a modern and reliable experience they can trust.

MrQ is owned and operated by Lindar Media, a marketing and technology startup based in St Albans, Hertfordshire.

Hard Rock International (HRI) announced its plans to cease operations of The Mirage Hotel & Casino as of July 17, 2024, to begin the transformation of the property into the highly anticipated Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and Guitar Hotel Las Vegas (HRHCLV).

Hard Rock will develop a new integrated resort featuring a nearly 700 ft. guitar-shaped hotel towering prominently in the center of the famous Las Vegas Strip.

“We’d like to thank the Las Vegas community and team members for warmly welcoming Hard Rock after enjoying 34 years at The Mirage. We’d also like to thank the Unions, community leaders, local and state government organizations and the Gaming Commission for their support and fair negotiations over the past year. Also, we are grateful to MGM for assisting with our transition,” Jim Allen, Chairman of Hard Rock International, said.

“While we pause for the incredible transformation of this iconic property, I’d like to thank all team members at The Mirage for their incredible commitment and helping us provide memorable experiences for our guests. We are planning to host collaborative hiring events with other employers in the Las Vegas community over the coming months. Connecting the thousands of talented Mirage team members who provide outstanding service with new employment opportunities is a top priority,” Joe Lupo, President of The Mirage, said.

HRHCLV is expected to double the current number of jobs at The Mirage for the Las Vegas community, while the renovation of the property will generate over 2500 construction jobs. Hard Rock will pay approximately $80 million in severance packages for eligible union and non-union employees remaining with the property through cessation of operations.
