Casino City's iGaming Pocket Directory - 2015 Edition

11 Sponsored by Visit iGamingPocketDirectory.com for more information. BINGO BINGO Bingo operators, even more so than casino operators, have understood the powerful connection real-life events can have to activities online. As a result, they were early adopters in terms of tying promotions and rewards to things outside of cyberspace. Part of the reason behind this is the inherently social nature of bingo. The bingo experience lends itself to bringing real-life experiences to the game. Players chat amiably with each other during bingo games, and everything from Valentine’s Day celebrations to birthdays will come up. As a result, it only makes sense that bingo operators capitalize on real-life events to increase player liquidity. And player liquidity is a problem in bingo. When people talk about player liquidity in online gaming, they’re usually referring to online poker. What tends to be forgotten is the same regulatory issues that affect online poker also impact bingo. The same laws and regulations that ring-fence poker players also ring-fence bingo players. So as online poker players in Spain and Italy lose access to a global pool of players, so do online bingo players. But bingo operators have been able to weather economic downturns and new regulatory frameworks much better than their online poker counterparts. BINGO INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
