UK Online Bingo Players Purchase ₤600 Million Annually

Tagged as: Online Bingo | by Hollie Sanders

I have no doubt that UK online bingo is one of the most popular leisure pursuits in the country today, but I had no idea that they purchased as much as ₤600 million worth of tickets annually. This figure is according to a press release, stating that the online bingo site, Bingo Port, has investigated how much UK online bingo players are spending. Bingo Port comprehensively monitors spending and other online bingo data and the Managing Director of Bingo Port, Scott Logan says that we have seen unprecedented growth in the industry in the past year, which is apparently amazing considering the present credit crunch.

These figures definitely seem to back up his statement and other data coming out of the report shows that Sun Bingo is still the number one online bingo site in the UK, they enjoy a 19% market share. These figures are based on data that is taken from Bingo Ports’ monitoring services; they track all major bingo operators online 24/7.

Apparently these figures represent the most accurate estimate available today of the size and growth of the online bingo industry in the UK and quite honestly I am shocked, if you think about it in terms of dollars, this figure represents $1.2 billion! And this is from the UK alone! Wow, this industry is really big, it is not surprising that so many people want to jump onto the online bingo operations bandwagon. Look at the amount of money it can generate in a small country like the UK?

Other data released indicates that Gala Bingo online is the next largest online bingo operator, with a market share of 16% followed by Foxy Bingo at 13%, Jackpot Joy with 10% and last but not least Mecca bingo with a market share of 7%.
