Online Bingo On The Rise – Now It's Matchmaking
Due to the economic recession, people no longer have the disposable income to play bingo in halls. Also, the smoking ban means that many people have forgone leaving their homes to play – why do so when you can play with bonuses and at your own home?
The only thing missing from online bingo was social interaction but apparently that's not a problem either – just ask Rachel Brooks and Steve Reeves, who met and fell in love playing bingo online.
"I've got a gorgeous cat and my restaurant keeps me busy at weekends so I had pretty much given up on having a man in my life," comments Rachel, a curry house owner from Devon. "That all suddenly changed when I started playing bingo online. I started having a bit of banter with another player in the community chat room and within a fortnight I was on the phone to him six times a day!"
Steven, a disabled diabetic from Weston-Super-Mare, used to go down to the bingo hall every week. "The bingo halls used to be a great place to meet people but the smoking ban put a lot of people off and the prices were jacked up to cover their overheads," comments Steven. "That is when I started playing online and I stumbled upon BingoOnTheBox.com which is a fun site and a great community of players."

Revenues Up For Bingo.com
16th February 2009
Bingo.com Limited, operator of popular online gaming site Bingo.com, has released its unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter of last year revealing a 17 percent increase in year-on-year total revenues.
Although total revenues for the final quarter of 2008 were $1.32 million, this represented a 15 percent decrease over the third quarter. In addition, revenues produced from gaming operations rose 23 percent to $1.28 million, which was down 13 percent from the previous period.
For the year, the Anguilla-based firm reported that revenues amounted to $5.64 million while total loses came in at $1.16 million, which was a decrease of 19 percent compared to $1.43 million for 2007.
'The fourth quarter of 2008 was another strong quarter of growth for Bingo.com as we saw increased gaming revenues across all our products,' said Tarrnie Williams, Chief Executive Officer for Bingo.com.
'However, like many international companies, we have been negatively affected by the dramatic volatility of the currency market, particularly the fall of the UK Pound Sterling and the strengthening of the United States Dollar in relation to other world currencies.
'To help alleviate our future exposure to currency risk and to aid our expansion into new markets, we will shortly be implementing a multi-currency product feature to our gaming software that will allow for simultaneous gaming activity in Pounds Sterling, United States Dollars, Euros and other currencies we choose to offer.
“We continue to follow our business plan, which has been successful to date at securing significant numbers of bingo and slots players in the United Kingdom.
“In addition, through leveraging our recently acquired Maltese gaming license, we are creating a number of additional language and market-specific initiatives in anticipation of launching in several new markets in 2009.”

Google Follows the Money Trail to Gambling
UK allows gambling companies to advertise on TV and Google jumps on board to allow online casinos and bingo to advertise on their UK domain. It's a wise financial decision and Google knows it.
In an about turn on their own policies regarding online gambling, Google now allows commercials by online casinos and bingo operators on their UK portal.
The news comes after a global four-year ban by Google's Adword service. Online Casinos will now flood Google UK web space as they do battle for British customers.
Financial reasons
Google realizes that they stand to lose revenue by continuing to block online gambling commercials. Despite heavy pressure from the US to block online gambling ads, Google wants to be sure that it is in line with current local business practices.
Online bingo is keen to get involved by promoting their game online. Advertising budgets are swelling as these new opportunities open up. Bingo companies are biting at the chance to promote their game on television and online portals.
It's all good news for bingo brands such as PartyBingo, Virgin Bingo and affiliate programs such as The Bingo Affiliates will be looking to make the most of the new opportunities that present.
On the surface Google advertising has hit the jackpot with these new developments.
