Online bingo is very popular in both the UK and the US with a number of games attracting the attention of literally millions of online players. The 75 ball and 90 ball games are the most popular and have made the transition to online format with ease. However, who are the big players in online bingo? Who are the ones offering the biggest jackpots?

It will come as no surprise to see that Sun Bingo is first with 19% of the market, Gala Bingo is next with 16%, then Foxy Bingo with 13%, not far behind his is Jackpot Joy with 10% and Mecca Bingo with 7%. These are all major players in the industry offering the best promotions, the widest breadth of gaming and chitchat from those looking for some light relief.

In 2006 it was estimated that the worldwide online bingo industry was worth around about $500 million but by 2010 this is expected to rise to over $1 billion. Market research also shows that online bingo is the most popular leisure activity in the UK for women between 20 and 25 years of age although the game itself covers the whole spectrum of age groups.

Online bingo is here to stay and is experiencing significant growth even in the depths of the current economic slowdown.

Biggest Bingo gives away on average around £300 000 a day, sometimes a little less, sometimes a little more. But either way this is a pretty substantial amount of money, so the prizes and jackpots are definitely there for the taking. You don’t have to download any software to play and playing can be achieved in three simple steps, just register, make a deposit and start playing.

Biggest bingo offers all new members a chance to win with ten free bingo cards. The also offer a very generous 100% cash match first deposit bonus of a maximum of £100. This means if you deposit £100, you receive the same value in the form of a cash match, absolutely free. They also offer huge progressive prizes, jackpots and fantastic online bingo games. If you are not happy playing on Biggest Bingo, then I don’t know what will make you happy. Oh, I forgot to mention they also give you an additional cash match on all other deposits of 50%.

Effectively UK online bingo sites are in a huge competitive endeavour to corner their own share of the market. Many are succeeding and even over achieving while others are being a little more laid back about this. Biggest Bingo is one of the more popular sites and this tells in that they have reasonable cash match offers but do not have to go over the top with these. On the flip side of the coin, they offer really worthwhile bingo cash prizes and one recent winner took home a rather decent £3350.52, making them another happy winner on Biggest Bingo. If truth be said, this online bingo site is well worth a flutter when thinking about playing; it is bright and bubbly and makes playing bingo a very good entertainment experience.

As of 10 November William Hill Bingo would be the proud sponsor of a new ITV game show called Spin Star. The six-week introductory deal will see William Hill Bingo heavily promoted at the start and the end of the show together with commercials within the advert breaks section.

As the show’s name suggests this will be a Las Vegas style slot machine game with a vast array of prizes, surprises and competitions. The reason that William Hill Bingo has chosen Spin Star as its next venture into the world of TV is the fact that customer demographics are very similar to those attracted to the William Hill Bingo website.

The new show will be hosted by ex-Coronation Street star Bradley Walsh and is set to see William Hill Bingo received a massive boost in customer awareness which will in due course lead to a substantial increase in player numbers. There has been a trend towards TV advertising of late as the online bingo sector attempts to grab the attention of the nation in a variety of new and exciting ways.

William Hill Bingo should also be announcing an array of new promotions to tie in with the TV sponsorship deal and we will bring those to you as soon as possible.
