CHARITY SEES ONLINE BINGO AS PERFECT FUNDRAISER

17/01/2006

Ireland's very first online bingo site, RehabBingo.com, is to be launched with the aim of raising money to help people with disabilities.

The organisation, Rehab Lotteries, wants to raise €1 million over the next five years for people with disabilities in County Roscommon, by targeting the ever-growing popularity of online bingo.

Dr John McGuire, Rehab Lotteries managing director, said: "Bingo has always been a hugely popular method of charity fund-raising in Ireland and we believe that the online version of the game can become a major contributor to developing Rehab services in Roscommon and throughout the rest of the country.

"It is estimated that more than five million people play online bingo around the world each day and just capturing a fraction of that market, on top of those playing in Ireland, would make this a very successful enterprise."

Any money that the new online bingo site manages to raise will go towards Rehab's services that include a health and social care division and a training and education division.
