Online bingo summit

A nod of thanks is due to the good kind people at Eyesdownbingo.com for their early notice on the upcoming Third Online Bingo Summit to be held in June. For those interested (and think this applies to any UK-based online bingo games operator) in attending this event, it will be held at the Royal Garden Hotel in Kensington on June 17th and 18th.

I noticed in the Eyesdownbingo announcement that a number of major online bingo halls will be addressing the summit on a range of subjects concerning the marketing and promotion of bingo online. I for one will be most interested to hear their views on strategies for entering into new markets as the current protectionist issues with many European Union nations are one of the bigger challenges facing online bingo today.

In the face of the considerable damage done by the loss of the US market thanks to UIGEA, it’s been obvious that the more enterprising online bingo halls have been pursuing a strategy of market diversification to compensate. Coupled with this is the growing trend towards industry consolidation in which a number of bingo games online operations have been bought and merged with some of the larger online gaming operators in the industry. I’m sure we will hear some interesting views on these issues at this summit.
