By Simon Jones on Tuesday, 10 Jul 2007 Online bingo is as popular as ever and the industry's growing month-by-month, new research has revealed.
Bingo websites generated a whopping £72 million in prize funds in 2006, research by Global Betting and Gaming Consultants (GBGC) has found.
What's more, experts are now predicting the online bingo sector will be worth a staggering £164 million by 2008 - great news for online bingo fans!
Which Bingo founder and chairman at this year's 2nd Annual Online Bingo Summit, Phil Fraser, said: "Increased awareness of online bingo in the mass market, driven by the big land-based bingo brands and media owners' bingo sites, means that there is indeed still much room for growth.
"Continuing increases in broadband into people's homes and the increase in variety and quality of product also contributes to this opportunity."
The online Bingo world has recently gained much publicity with the Sun newspaper and underwear shop Ann Summers both getting in on the act too!
