Default Bet365 Is The Official PAP Bingo Sponsor

We had a spot open for an exclusive Bingo sponsor here at PAP and Bet365 has taken it. Bingo is growing very rapidly across Europe and can be quite profitable for affiliates.

I encourage you all to check out the Bet365 bingo platform. Geoff and the entire team there are committed to helping affiliates earn more revenue by diversifying into multiple gaming verticals.

Nice work Bet365, we needed a Bingo expert here on PAP. I know that you guys are doing a lot to branch out into other verticals and markets. It seems like Bingo is still a very lucrative, but untapped market for us as affiliates.

Thanks guys,

Yep Bingo is big, especially in the UK, Sweden and Spain (please note bet365 does not accept US players).

Business model is quite similar to Poker, as revenue comes from a "rake" on the main pot formed by the total amount of the bingo tickets purchased by players on each game.

Side casino games are also lucrative: players can play waiting for another bingo game to start or even while watching the game. Crystal ball game is really cool as players can bet on the first ball, the 15th ball or pretty much everything they want on the ball number, colour, odds or even, etc...

Bonuses are also similar to what you can find in poker. At bet365 we cover it all:
  • When a customer first registers for Bingo we give them a free £10 (no strings attached), so you can expect to see the players coming through the door right from the start. We are more generous than our competitors as the bonus funds can be withdrawn after being rolled over 4 times
  • When they first deposit on Bingo we give them a 200% bonus (Up to £200 bonus value)
  • All further Bingo deposits are rewarded with a 50% bonus up to £100
The best is that these bonuses are all redeemable by the players, they are queued in our system to be activated one after the other one when all the conditions to release the active bonus have been met. Should a player claim a second offer such as the 200% Deposit Match or 50% Deposit Match while the £10 Welcome Bonus is still active this will queue until the £10 Welcome Bonus is closed.

Throw in great special promotions such as “Buy one ticket get one free”, “Penny Bingo”, massive Progressive Jackpots to be won, and a fun selection of mini games to enjoy - all this as part of a friendly community environment and you’ve got the makings of a fantastic bingo room.

The "community" aspect is also very strong like in poker, as all players can chat while the game takes place. A moderator actively participates to the chat to build up the community and loyalty.

The largest difference with poker is demographics, as most bingo players are women. You'll notice the flashy colours used across bingo sites

Last but not least, we use Virtue Fusion Software, sharing rooms with their network but also proposing exclusive ones for bet365 players

Get in touch i'll be glad to answer any questions!

So what your saying Geoff is that an online bingo room be a good place to pick up chicks for the single guys!

All the bingo affiliates I know however say that the community aspect of bingo is far greater than online poker and this is one of the reasons the loyalty and retention is so great. I imagine people log on and play every night just so they can socialize with or carry on a conversation with another bingo player from a previous session.

What is the largest market where the most players are from right now in the Bet365 bingo room?

Very true, the moderator is considered as a very friendly figure, he/she is the good guy who can grant special bonuses or organize special bets during the game to add more fun. Players also participate a lot to the chat (they build up the core community), even when they don't know each other they are very friendly. Players compete against each other to get the pot but as there is no strategy involved players are not competitive. The community is the main reason why they come back to play.

Our largest market is currently the UK. We have two rooms in English (one shared with Virtue Fusion network, one unique to bet365), one room in Spanish unique to bet365 and one room in Swedish also unique to bet365.

Now more figures about the Bingo business:

The iGaming Business magazine from July/Aug states that:
- over 600 million GBP is spent on bingo tickets annually in the UK (without side games included in most bingo software).
- the rake held by operators is between 15% to 25%. This is much higher than poker figures so there is money there for you on revenue share!
- side games account for between 40% to 60% of the overall profit

So it's time to get a bingo site up and running! Get in touch if you have any questions or if you need help getting started on Bingo.

Thanks Geoff, this is all GREAT information and exactly the information I was looking for.

For those of you guys drawing lots of UK traffic, you'd be silly not to at least add a bingo section and review on your sites. It could be a nice additional revenue stream each month.

Hey Geof, what is the read demographic you're seeing convert for bingo? We all hear it's 25-45 year old women almost 100% - true?

Typically Bingo is a female market, though I believe this is down to how the product has been marketed by so many sites.

I am not convinced by "100% women approaches" for bingo such as 888 who named its bingo product 888ladies. Look at poker: the proportion of female is growing in our typical male poker community

The age range is also said to be reducing and attracting a younger market.
