Wednesday 9th April 2008

Show organisers Bullet Business has announced that this year’s Online Bingo Summit will feature a minimum of 250 attendees discussing the size of the overall European Internet bingo landscape in further depth.

The third annual event is sponsored by Parlay Entertainment and will take place from June 17 to 18 at London’s Royal Garden Hotel. Warwick Bartlett of the Global Betting and Gaming Consultancy will deliver a session involving realistic market estimates and projections along with what operators can expect from the biggest online bingo playing communities around Europe.

Bullet Business stated that well over 100 firms have already confirmed their attendance including Mecca, Gala, 888, PartyBingo, St Minver, Sky Bingo and Svenska Spel.

The show will also see Simon Collins from FoxyBingo.com deliver a session entitled ‘From the remote control to the mouse’ looking at the proliferating role television plays for online bingo. The session will explore the impact of television advertising on search engine optimization and affiliates along with realistic conversion figures for operators looking to market through the small screen.

The Online Bingo Summit should benefit from recent numbers from BingoPort.co.uk that reported a rise of 19 percent in average daily player numbers across all UK-focused online bingo operators since September.

“The numbers are certainly looking good with a 19 percent increase in player levels, heightened interest and the establishment of a real online bingo business community” said Ravi Virpal, Director for Bullet Business.

“Increases in player numbers encourages operators from all over the online gaming industry to move into bingo and, at the same time, allows the annual Online Bingo Summit to grow substantially.”
