CONFERENCE CORNER

Eyes down for Online Bingo Europe


The recent Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA), has forced a dramatic shift of market and product focus for the major industry players with both Europe and online bingo strong among the possibilities.

Online bingo especially has emerged as a major new product with huge potential in the online gambling market, with many industry commentators heralding it the 'new online poker'.

Many of the world's largest operators such as PartyGaming, 888, Paddy Power and Ladbrokes now have dedicated bingo brands, whilst even mainstream consumer brands such as Butlins, Virgin, Magic FM, Top Santé and The Sun newspaper, have this year seen the potential of online bingo to entertain their web audiences in increasing both brand awareness and customer loyalty.

To explore the new industry possibilities, executives from the online bingo industry across the world including chief executives from Bingo.com, Think Bingo and Bingos.co.uk are converging on London for the inaugural Online Bingo Europe conference on December 7.

The online bingo conference takes place as part of the Bullet Business Europe Summit which represents one last opportunity in 2006 for decision makers in the on and off-line gaming and gambling sector to realise the true potential of the European marketplace in 2007.
