Online Bingo Spends Millions on Advertising

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

A new report from Whichbingo.co.uk has found that the uk online bingo industry spent more than $10million on television advertsing for 2008.

According to the report by Which bingo the biggest spender of all was Foxy Bingo spending a whopping $3.27million.

But it seems new bingo site Tombola.co.uk planned to make a statement by spending over $2.5million too.
Between the two, Foxy Bingo and Tombola.co.uk, they spent more than the rest of the industry put together.

Judging from these figures, its understandable why the online bingo market is still growing at the rate it is. With operators pumping so much into advertising, they are bound to get a large number of players joining the ranks.

Other big spenders included Think Bingo and Party Bingo both spending around the $1million mark.

What was surprising in the report hoever was that, both Gala Bingo and Mecca Bingo, two of the largest bingo operators in the UK, were not on the ‘big spenders’ list. Neither spent anything on television advertising for 2008.

Gone Bingo goes Mobile

Friday, March 20th, 2009

One of the most popular online bingo operators in the UK, Gone Bingo, has announced its launch of mobile bingo.

Believed to be the future of online gaming industry, mobile gaming is definitely making itself known.

Gone Bingo along with a few other online bingo operators has joined the racks in the mobile gaming market.

Online casino operators have had some success with their products such as video poker and roulette and slot games, and with the competitiveness of the online bingo market it would seem a good opportunity for Gone Bingo to expand its reach.

Unfortunately accessibility will depend on the mobile handset of each user, as online bingo games are not available across all formats yet.

Java MIDP 2.0 and 176 pixel screens are needed for the games to work, however with most new handsets having these specifications as standard if not better, it is likely that the majority of users will be able to player on the phones.
