Bingo on Mobile Phones a Likely Possibility

July 12th, 2011

Research conducted by leading UK Online Bingo authority, Bingoport.co.uk, has discovered that online bingo players are much more prepared for the introduction of mobile bingo than widely expected.

A survey presented to Bingoport’s 90,000 plus members, revealed that a substantial 47% of online bingo players own a mobile phone with web enabled technology and while in the past, concerns about data usage costs have limited users’ ability and willingness to play online games on their mobile devices, a remarkable 34% of survey respondents claimed that they would happily play bingo for real money on a mobile phone.

Online gaming companies have been swift to advance into mobile technology with casino style games like blackjack, roulette and slot machines readily available on mobile phones in the UK. It would appear that bingo players are not adverse to the idea of playing slots on their mobile phones either, with 30% saying they would play mobile slots for real money.

For mobile developers looking to carve a slice of the online bingo market, what mobile device should they be focusing their attention on? Well, the research shows that Android compatible devices make up 65% of bingo players’ web enabled phones, Blackberrys account for a surprising 19% and the iPhone, just 16%.

   The use of a mobile phone or similar device while driving is prohibited if the phone (or other device) has to be held in order to operate it.
   This also may apply while playing bingo at bingoport cos you may get distracted and miss your tickets lol.
   Yes. There is an exemption for calls to 999 in genuine emergencies where it is unsafe or impractical to stop. There is also an exemption for the use of 2-way radios .
   This also applys to bingoport members,when you are playing (fetch a friend on fridays) you will be able to phone your partner,and ask them where are you lol

   Hope this information helps
