Loquax was the UK's first competition portal and we've recently celebrated our 10th anniversary (established in February 1998). Developed and still managed by its founders Jason Dale & Kirsty Darbyshire, Loquax has not only evolved to be one of the UK's leading competition resources, the brand name is now synonymous with online competitions in the UK!
The site has grown steadily to include an active community, competition tracker service, daily updates, exclusive user competitions, as well as shopping, bingo, prize games and gambling sections. Our business ventures have also expanded and Loquax Ltd now operates in various affiliate sectors (see below for a selection of our other websites).
In 2003 we launched Prize Bingo and this was followed up with Loquax Bingo, and we have also partnered with Jackpot Joy for Instant Win Games.
The name "Loquax" (Lo-quacks), now our registered trademark, comes from the Latin Loquatious! Loquax was chosen as as a domain name it could be attributed seamlessly to any subject online plus it also because it's quite memorable. Our current duck logo was introduced in 2004 to add character to the site and also define the site's name.
In The Press
Loquax has featured in a number of magazines and newspapers including The Mirror, The Telegraph, Weekly News and even The Daily Star! Our thanks to everyone who has been kind enough to include us in their articles.
