Halt in UK online bingo growth

The independent authority's exclusive Bingo Trends data revealed a decrease of 6.1% in online bingo wagering from the January - March quarter, with an estimated us$ 396.1 million wagered on bingo tickets in the UK from April 1st to June 30th, 2012.

This is the first quarter that Bingoport, which started data tracking in June 2011, has recorded a decline in bingo wagering and in player activity levels.

“Obviously the April - June quarter has historically been impacted by the warmer weather and Summer holiday season, but in previous years, ongoing growth of the industry has countered any reduction in activity during this period,” said Bingoport.co.uk Managing Director, Scott Logan, “It seems clear that the industry is no longer growing at such a rate.”

The May - June Bingo Trends Quarterly Report is available via subscription to Bingoport’s Bingo Trends product and includes access to Bingo Trends’ exclusive Player Activity Interface and customised daily reporting.
