Popular UK online bingo portal Bingo Street has launched a Spanish version of its entire site aimed at the growing online gaming market currently sweeping Spain.

According to Bingo Street , “The Spanish online gaming market has been one of the success stories in the European online gaming industry and Bingo Street knows a market itching for online bingo fun when it sees one.”

“We’ve had our eye on this market for quite some time now,” says Bingo Street contributor John Witherspoon. “The huge British presence in sunny Spain has translated into a growing bingo online market within the local population and, along with the country’s move towards a more free online gaming market, the opportunities are too good to pass up.”

Bingo Street’s new Spanish section provides Spanish-speaking online bingo players with all the same features that can be found in the English version. Bingo Street specializes in up-to-date bingo site reviews, online bingo information and surveys of the latest promotions in online bingo.

“We must not forget that Spanish is the third most widely spread language on the planet, so an El Bingo Spanish section not only takes bingo to the market in Spain, but also provides exposure to the huge Latin American markets of South America and the Caribbean,” commented Witherspoon in a press release from the site.

The new Spanish version is now live and can be viewed at http://elbingo.bingostreet.com/ .

Online bingo games and online bingo halls have forged an important market niche in the Swedish online gaming industry, but only Svenske Spel is allowed to operate online bingo in the country.

Recent developments in the Swedish gambling industry include pressure on Svenska Spel by the country’s Moderate Party whose Culture Committee has called for the Svenska Spel monopoly to be abolished.

Malta’s position as one of the European Union’s (EU) top online gaming jurisdictions received a boost when the European Commission’s Charlie McCreevy praised the Malta Gaming Authority for its professionalism.

Most importantly for Malta, McCreevy was at pains to assure them that he is determined to enforce EU law to ensure open borders for the online gaming industry.  This will be music to the ears of the many online bingo games operators and online bingo halls currently being restricted from access to a number of European Union markets.

The European Court of Justice classifies online gaming as a service covered by the laws and principles of the EU’s commitment to freedom of movement of services.  Malta currently employs about 1,500 people in its online gaming industry and licenses a number of popular online bingo operations.

Canadian online bingo developer and provider Parlay Entertainment Inc. says its move into regulated markets away from the US market is now completed now that the company has fully divested itself of non-core assets and licensing arrangements associated with the US bingo online market

The divestment primarily involves US-facing licensees signed before the implementation of the notorious Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act in the US.  Parlay has diversified in non-US markets like the UK and Europe where a more friendly regulated-style of governance is enforced.
Parlay CEO Scott White said: “Parlay’s management has been mindful of the uncertainty created by recent legislative changes and as a result, has reviewed both the composition of and the jurisdictions which are the focus of its existing customer base.

“The divestiture of these assets provides excellent value for Parlay’s shareholders while at the same time allowing Parlay to focus all of its future efforts on the development, marketing, licensing and support of Internet gaming technologies into regulated jurisdictions”.

Parlay’s software powers a number of popular UK online bingo games operators and online bingo halls, including Virgin, Yahoo!, Paddy Power, Bet24, NetPlay TV, Bingos.com and the St. Minver bingo network.
