More Users at Online Bingo Sites
2011-11-06 09:00:00 | Written by: Tami Bayliss
Bingo is a popular game which has long been enjoyed at land-based bingo halls. In more recent years, bingo has moved online where it is now enjoyed by more players than ever before. While bingo was traditionally enjoyed primarily by older players, bingo has now become popular with a range of age groups.
The UK is seeing a rise in the number of online bingo users with a recent report by the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) suggesting that the number of Britons participating in remote gaming has increased significantly. The figures include players who access bingo portals and online betting sites through their smartphone and tablet devices.
The UKGC has guaranteed to ensure that all online gaming sites comply with the same high level of regulations.
John Penrose, Tourism and Heritage minister said, "We will create a level playing field, so all overseas operators will be subject to the same standards and requirements as those based in Britain."
"[That's] as well as being required to inform the Gambling Commission about suspicious betting patterns to help fight illegal activity and corruption in betting," he said.
Many online bingo portals, such as 888Ladies make it possible for bingo fans to access games in many different ways. This has contributed to the shift from land-based bingo halls to online bingo. Bingo fans are now able to play bingo from the comfort of their own home, whenever it suits them. Games are available at any time of the day or night with players from around the world.
The increase in numbers of online users has been steady over the past few years and it appears to be continuing to rise, according to the latest report from the UKGC.Related News
