UK Bingo Players Spend Millions on Tickets Annually

According to a leading online bingo portal, UK bingo players spend 600,000,000 GBP each year at bingo sites on ticket purchases.

While it is well known that online bingo is on the rise in the United Kingdom, these astonishing eye popping numbers certainly come as a surprise for even the most optimistic analysts out there who keep close tabs on the industry.

“We’ve seen unprecedented growth in the online bingo industry here in the UK in the past year,” said the Managing Director of the bingo portal. “The fact that online bingo players are purchasing bingo tickets in the realm of £600 million annually is truly amazing considering the credit crunch, but not surprising considering the licensing of the online gaming industry in the UK.”

Other interesting data to come out of a comprehensive study commissioned by the bingo portal is the fact that Sun Bingo maintains its top position as the most popular online casino bingo site among UK players - with 19% of the market turnover.

Gala Bingo controls 16% of the market, with Foxy Bingo, Jackpot Joy and Mecca Bingo capturing 13%, 10% and 7% of the market respectively.

The gambling portal summarized the situation by saying that players were more and more attracted to online bingo because of the huge promotions that were offered, especially as competition becomes fiercer among the big names in the industry.
