Online Casino Bingo is Where its At
Internet gaming is certainly not a new industry, but because of the
ever-changing whims of online casino gamblers, certain sectors of the industry
seem to just explode over night. Internet bingo is one of the fastest growing
sectors of the industry, and SunBingo.com claims to be the biggest web-only
bingo site operating for the UK market. The UK is just one of the markets
reporting phenomenal growth in the internet bingo sector – skill gaming and
internet bingo sites are now popping up in every market around the world that
allows online casinos gambling – and even a few that don’t.
News Digital Group (NGD) oversees the operations at some of the UK’s largest
online casinos and internet gambling sites, and the Sun Online brand is just one
of the company’s sites. Others include Page3.com, NewsoftheWorld.com and others.
The Guardian recently reported that NDG realized GBP 3.8 million in business in
the company’s last financial year. NGD has sites in every sector of the online
casino gambling industry, and some sectors outside of gaming and gambling
including: dating, dieting and ecommerce. Part of the company’s expansion into
different sectors is thanks to partnerships outside of the internet bingo
industry. Specifically, the News of the World Web site and TheSun.co.uk are now
gaming partners with the well-known Ladbrokes betting company. Through the
partnership the companies are able to offer co-branded internet betting and
online casino gaming experiences.
Online advertising has also done wonders for the growth of NGD. Year-end results
show a 38 percent increase in advertising revenue. In every area of the company
it seems that revenues are growing, and staff at NGD were recently given figures
stating that company revenues have grown to GBP 30 million – essentially over
100 percent each year.
