What countries is bingo popular?

[MJ]

Ok, I know very little about bingo but I do have a question for a site I"m setting up:

What countries is bingo popular in besides US, UK, Canada? Is it primarily Europe or is it expanding into south america and asia too? What about eastern europe?

Thanks so much for any advice in advance.

Not sure about Asia, Easter Europe and South America, but in Western Europe:
- UK is big, not sure about other Commonwealth territories
- Sweden is a nice market
- In Spain there are numerous bingo halls, so the game is popular, it should work well online as well, although i've heard that in Spain it was played online by almost as many men as women

Hi MJ,

Bingo is growing fast in the Scandinavian market (especially Sweden and Denmark). There are several big operators that are targeting these countries with Swedish and Danish language versions of their site (for example, BingoJoy).

Spain is also turning into a sizeable market and there are many operators who have Spanish language sites (for example, Bingo.com has Es.Bingo.com).

If you need any suggestions of operators that you would like to include on your site, let me know We have several Bingo affiliate programs that we manage within the Income Access network as well as quite a few white-label clients.

So basically it sounds like Western Europe, US, and Canada at this point - I was hoping Asia and Eastern Europe were going to come along for the ride but we'll see what happens.

Thanks for advice folks!

Bingo is very popular in Australia. Many Clubs run bingo events for money, and a few online sites have done really well here as well. However, no online sites have really targeted the locals...

In that top 10, I would have thought US would be higher up on the list. That's surprising but interesting. Thank you for the information.

Initially it was found in Europe and then slowly, Most people today have popularity of the bingo halls in the war years. Everyone used to spend their time in the bingo halls on Saturday evenings.

Worth noting Costa Rica is big for bingo operators, but have few bingo players there, and Sweden is not that big in bingo but once again for bingo operators. Google's source I would not rely on 100%.
