Publication Markets and Research says in a recent report that the Belgium government may be preparing for the opening up of its online gaming market.

Online bingo industry observers and online bingo games operators will be welcoming the news with many keen to take advantage of opportunities in any new market.  Some European countries, such as Spain and Italy, have recently liberalized their gambling markets in a trend that Belgium seems to be following.

Proposed plans within Belgium to create a regulated online gaming market will allow non-Belgium online gambling operators able to offer gaming services as soon as 2009.

Wink Bingo remains the darling of Eyes Down Bingo for its monthly promotions - the latest one is Wink and the City which is sure to be a hit with the Ladies but the main reason for this post is the Bingo rooms Loyalty program .

Depsite Wink Bingos popularity with online bingo players i do think that this portion of the site remains as one of the most unreported parts of this fantastic bingo room. I think that it deserves to be reported on in Capital Letters as this is one of the best no nonsense Bingo Loyalty programs around.

Every single week Wink Bingo gives you 10% cashback - they determine the 10% cashback on play from the previous Saturday to the Sunday . The cashback is then put into your account on a Tuesday . The advantage of this is that you dont have to wait for the end of the month to go into the chat rooms and have a go at one of the Super Jackpots - you can do that with the money that you get back .

Apart from the weekly 10% Cashback offer there is a super Refer a Friend progam that will reward you with 15000 points for refering a friend that makes a deposit at Wink Bingo .

There are some Fantastic promotions happening there at the moment with a Sex and the City Promotion and a Love Boat promotion so go and check this place out .

The UK government’s sports minister Gerry Sutcliff has announced that the amount of £500 jackpot slot machines that will be allowed to be place in any one bingo hall will increase from four to eight.

Addressing the UK’s House of Commons, Sutcliffe claimed the increase is a one-off measure aimed at helping the bingo industry which has been in pretty dire straights recently.

‘Bingo clubs play a crucial role in many communities and we want to see that continue,’ said Sutcliffe.  ‘For some people, especially older and retired women, bingo is their main leisure pursuit. It is therefore of great concern that nearly 100 bingo clubs have closed in the last four years.’

The Department for Culture Media and Sport issued a statement saying it will launch a consultation on the proposal covering England, Scotland and Wales.

Bingo Street online bingo writer and critic John Witherspoon is predicting higher fuel costs will see a jump in online bingo memberships as more people stay home and turn to the internet for their entertainment.

Citing a relatively old study from 2005 that predicted a drop in US customers wanting to make the drive to Las Vegas should the price of gasoline go beyond $3 per gallon, Witherspoon pointed out that the study forecast a 90% drop in gambling tourists to Las Vegas should the cost of fuel reach $5 per gallon.

Gasoline in the US currently costs a national average of approximately $4 per gallon.

The study was first published by Jim Medick of Precision Opinion and it proposed a correlation between rising fuel costs and a reduction in traveling. How the study applies to the UK is yet to be seen, but there is evidence a growing number of people are traveling less as fuel costs rise here too.

“Online bingo games in the UK are perfectly positioned to take advantage of a drop in people making journeys to gambling centres,” said Witherspoon. “People will still seek gaming as a means of entertainment, and if they can stay at home but still get the same level of excitement and winnings, then they will turn to the online offerings. It’s up to bingo online as an industry to make sure we give such people what they want.”

While not quite yet a captive market, online gamers are a growing part of the online lifestyle experience and bingo has been a huge part of many UK people’s lives. With a noticeable drop in UK punters turning out to traditional local bingo halls and clubs, what Witherspoon has to say may actually now be taking place.

Online bingo games company Bingo.com has shown a better first quarter for this year according to un-audited results. However, though revenues and player numbers showed increases, the online bingo operator still came up with a net loss.
“The first quarter of 2008 was another strong quarter of growth for Bingo.com,” said Tarrnie Williams, the Bingo.com’s CEO. “We’ve increased our revenue, decreased our costs, and further entrenched Bingo.com as a premier gaming operator in the United Kingdom market.

“Bingo.com has added thousands of new real-money players in the quarter and the popularity of our gaming suite is growing rapidly within the UK bingo community. Our strategy remains focused on leveraging the strength of the Bingo.com URL in the UK as we prepare for the launch of Bingo.com in other markets and other languages. While many challenges remain, Bingo.com is in an excellent position to return to profitability.”

Bingo.com claims a total of 1.8 million users who play bingo online with them.

Will the giddy rise in petrol prices be yet another punch in the guts for the land-based bingo industry?

Already reeling from the effects of a smoking ban and a double taxation policy, the land bingo scene will find it difficult to rebound in the face of higher costs in actually traveling to clubs and bingo halls.

Some land bingo operators have sought to solve this problem by putting on bus services, but they still have to cover the cost of the petrol. Add to this the competitive pressure represented by online bingo games and online bingo halls which do not require members to travel anywhere except to their computer, and you have yet another dangerous trend facing the land bingo industry.

This trend is, of course dependant on the continued rise of oil on world markets. Unfortunately for the land bingo sector, there seems to be no chance that oil prices are coming down anytime soon.
