Bullet Business Bingo Conference Marks Significant Turn In Bingo Industry
July 2nd, 2009
The premier red-letter event for online bingo operators, the Annual Bullet Bingo Business, concluded in London on June 17th. This year’s event saw over 300 participants; a significant increase from the 250-odd attendees in 2008. The conference first began in 2006 with 85 online bingo companies and the patronage has been steadily increasing over the years. The event has slowly emerged as one of the most important events in the calendar of an online bingo operator.
The bingo awards ceremony was held towards the end of proceedings; various UK-based online bingo companies were bestowed awards in categories like Best Innovation (Cashcade for Cheeky Bingo), Online Bingo Portal of the Year (Whichbingo.co.uk), Online Bingo Operator of the Year (Foxy Bingo) and so on. Foxy Bingo controlled Cashcade has recently been in the news for being reportedly put up for sale. Foxy Bingo also received Bingo Advertisement of the Year (Foxy’s Back for Cashcade) and it’s Cheeky Bingo was awarded best newcomer by the summit.
Conferences were also conducted on various pressing issues. Prior to the summit, Bullet Business reached out to the industry by speaking with over 100 of the industry’s key stakeholders to set an agenda that appropriately reflected the issues and challenges facing the industry today. Also included in the agenda was a Speed Networking Session which allowed participants to meet a whole set of fascinating individuals which would have otherwise proven to be quite impossible to achieve.
The Bingo Affiliate Panel discussion took up the last session in this year’s event. This panel, dedicated to providing a forum for affiliates and operators to etch out mutually beneficial deals, was a fresh addition to the summit this year. Altogether, this was a pleasurable session. The panel, comprised of some of the most distinguished names in the industry, provided some expert advice on what goes into making a leading bingo affiliate in a thoroughly entertaining and amusing manner.
Ravi Virpal of Bullet Business credited with putting together the entire Bingo Conference, was elated with the enormous success and resounding acceptance for the event. The online bingo industry has proven to be quite resilient to the ongoing recession and has clocked an incredible 60% growth rate in the past year. UK bingo players form the biggest chunk-more than 1.2 billion USD in bingo cards alone. Operators are already looking forward to the 5th edition of the event and one can only hope for the sake of online bingo it turns out to be an even bigger and better event than this one.
