BINGO.COM SETS SIGHTS ON UK
05/10/2006

Bingo.com has decided to devote more time to expanding in markets such as the UK and Italy in light of recent legislation that was passed in the US.

The new rules forbid banks, credit card companies and internet payment systems which are based in the US to make payments to online gambling sites, prompting the shift in priorities.

Chief executive Tarrnie Williams explained: "Bingo.com has a large number of players in the United Kingdom already and with over 48 million adults and a long standing bingo tradition, the United Kingdom is an ideal market for the company's initial international expansion.

"We have been in preparation for this targeted international strategy for a long time and… we expect the Bingo.com brand to be well received in the new markets in which we focus."
