Online bingo history didn’t start in the UK, but that doesn’t mean that we’re not a major part of it! Since the first of the UK’s online Bingo sites was established in 2003, it’s become a massively popular and profitable industry. With millions of people playing Bingo in the UK every week, online Bingo already had a strong membership base from which to attract people. Although not everyone has made the switch from land-based to online Bingo, many new players are discovering Bingo all on their own. In fact, online Bingo is one of the most popular leisure activities amongst UK women aged 20 to 35!
The UK’s Bingo statistics are just a measure of what’s going on in the Bingo world today. Bingo is growing so fast that other casino, poker and racing sites are starting to sit up and pay attention! The online Bingo industry is declared its 2006 earnings to be $710 million! That means that, just four years after the first online UK Bingo site was established in 2003, the global Bingo industry is already commanding millions and millions in profit! In fact, Global Betting and Gaming Consultants has estimated that the Gross Yield of All Online Bingo will have topped 1.04 billion USD by 2008!
So where’s all this money going? A lot of it goes back into the pocket of online Bingo members like you! In 2006, online Bingo games paid wins totaling ₤72 million. This number is expected to more than double by 2013, so stick around to be a part of it.
The Bingo industry has come so far in such a short time, and it just keeps getting better. If the industry continues to grow as it has, it’s exciting to wonder what will happen in the next five, ten and twenty years. If you think the jackpots are big now, imagine how big they’ll be in 2013!
