Casino Bingo UK News

The major brands of the online bingo industry can be satisfied: bingo once available only in halls or at festivals is a hit online, and this across Europe.

According to a study published by the British company H2Gambling Capital, there are more and more online bingo fans, and suddenly companies like William Hill, PartyGaming and 888 Holdings are expected to grow their networks in this branch.
According to the study, the income generated by online bingo in Great Britain should grow by 20% this year with a figure going up 1, 6 billion dollars by the end of 2010.

The study published by H2 confirms that online bingo has proved to be more resistant to the credit crunch than any other online games.

Net revenues of online bingo and skill games like backgammon for William Hill, have risen by 50% over the first part of 2009, while revenues from more “traditional” games have decreased slightly (-1%). William Hill expects its gross income (including payouts) should increase by 50% by 2010. They are reaching 250 million this year. The company 888 Holdings meanwhile, still young in this sector, expects to generate around 100 million dollars in revenue from online bingo the next few years.

May 1, 2009 (London, UK) — Online Bingo site Crown Bingo, powered by Virtue Fusion Alderney bingo software, have had their biggest ever pay out of £240,561 to lucky member Glen Johnson from Bristol. The record pay out came after Glen hit the jackpot for a £2 stake on popular side game Lucky Ladies 88 after being a member for just 10 days.

The win for Glen Johnson and his family comes at a good time as they face a potentially stressful and tough period ahead. Glen’s wife Julie Johnson returned from hospital on the same day as the big win to prepare her housebound husband Glen for devastating news that she could have throat Cancer. Forty-three year old Glen and his wife both suffer from disabilities. However, Julie is able to get around more, running shopping errands and taking the children to school. Glen, who has been housebound for the last four years due to spinal problems, is hoping the money will pay for the special mobility equipment he needs to make life easier for his wife.

Dan Smyth, CEO Crown Bingo, said the company was overjoyed that the biggest pay-out in its three-year history had gone to a couple whose lives could be transformed by the cash. “We’re delighted to have yet another big winner and it’s even more pleasing to know what a difference the money will make to Glen and his family.

Bob McCulloch, CEO of Virtue Fusion Alderney, said, “It sounds like Glen and his wife have had a tough time of late so hopefully this will make things easier during these already difficult times. It’s great to know that the jackpots generated by our networked software could have significant benefits for the future of this family. I fully endorse what Dan said and sincerely hope that this win helps the family through its potentially difficult times.”

Award winning online bingo site, Paddy Power Bingo, has undergone a major revamp and now offers players an even more fun and exciting playing experience.

Since its launch in 2006 Paddy Power Bingo.com has become one of the UK’s most popular online bingo sites and now pays out over GBP1million in cash prizes to bingo players each month. Paddy Power Bingo.com also boasts more cash prizes per player than any other online bingo site.

Last year online bingo firms in the UK raked in £650 million from online bingo players and that figure is expected to rise again this year with the continued growth in online bingo.

888Ladies.com which is 888’s online bingo site, was largely attributed for accounting for 888’s big £9 million increase in profits from the first to second quarter of 2008.

This is just one of a host of online bingo websites which are now available to UK players. There are now hundreds of bingo websites to choose from in the UK compared with just four years ago when there were less than twenty.

The UK boasts the biggest online bingo market but other countries have also seen the female-dominated game catch on. Internet bingo is expected to be developed in more and more countries as the online bingo craze goes global. Spain is currently the fastest growing online bingo market in Europe.

New sites then offer bigger and better promotions with increasing cash jackpots and other prizes. In an increasingly competitive market the online bingo providers are coming up with new and innovative ways of giving themselves the edge over rivals.

Television advertising has grown to accommodate this new market with several leading online bingo operators advertising their websites on the box.

These include 888Ladies.com’s advert with comedian Vic Reeves and Foxy Bingo’s award winning popular adverts featuring the Foxy character.

Foxy Bingo also sponsor ITV’s daytime programme The Jeremy Kyle show. Foxy Bingo were rewarded with their advertising campaign by winning “Best Marketing Campaign” at the Bullet Business Awards in June. The firm were also rewarded with the coveted title of “Bingo Operator of the Year”.

In such a lucrative industry even a small piece of the online bingo pie is worth millions and so the standard of sites available to British players is second to none in the world.
