The Online Bingo website BingoPort.co.uk has reported that players at online bingo sites operating in the United Kingdom are spending well over £600 million per year on tickets.

The data collected by the site shows that Sun Bingo retains its position as the number one online bingo site in the UK, with 19% market share. This market share is based on the value of bingo tickets sold and prize money distributed back to the players.

Scott Logan, Managing Director and co-founder, BingoPort.co.uk said “Online bingo has seen record growth in the UK in the past year. The very fact that online bingo players are purchasing bingo tickets in the range of £600 million yearly is amazing.”

He added, “This is despite the fact that there is a credit crunch on. Though this phenomenal rise is not surprising considering the fact that the online gaming industry is licensed in the country.”

The figures take into account collection of game play data gathered from the web site monitoring services that tracks all the major online bingo operators in the United Kingdom, 24 hours a day 7 days a week. The site also released details of the market size of the industry leaders. This is based on the value of bingo tickets and game prizes.

The number one online bingo site, with 19% of the turnover market, is Sun Bingo; it is followed by Gala Bingo (16%), Foxy Bingo (13%), Jackpot Joy (10%) and Mecca Bingo (7%). It is the only website in the country that monitors the online bingo operators in real-time for player numbers, jackpots and promotions.
