The UK Online Bingo market has been predicted for healthy growth even with the current economic concerns. Bingo in the UK is already an established online industry, as real world Bingo halls struggle to cope with tough legislation on gambling and smoking hitting businesses hard. In spite of this online players are reaping the benefits of saving money, time and enjoying home comforts whilst playing Bingo.

It has been estimated that the U.K. online bingo industry earned 120 million pounds ($239 million) last year with around 500,000 playing on a monthly basis.

Numerous online bingo businesses are looking for further growth by expanding overseas into new unestablished markets. Several nations in Europe are seen as potential areas for growth for online Bingo.

Warwick Bartlett chairman of U.K.-based Global Betting and Gaming Consultants stated that “We estimate that by 2012 online bingo will account for 25 percent of the worldwide betting market and deliver profits in excess of $2 billion.”

The challenge for online Bingo companies expanding abroad is to understand and appreciate differing cultures. Players in Spain or Scandinavia may desire different prizes, rewards and themed games when compared with the UK market.
