New Online Bingo Websites Threaten Old Favourites

Press Dispensary - Rob Hutchison, owner of the popular online bingo site, Unlucky for Some (http://www.unluckyforsome.co.uk), announces the results of a survey carried out to discover the most popular UK online bingo website. While Gala Bingo came out on top, other smaller websites threaten to outperform their bigger rivals.

The survey was conducted in August 2007 on Unluckyforsome.co.uk, which provides up-to-the-minute information on the latest site launches and special offers.

The survey asked visitors which online bingo website they played at the most. Unsurprisingly, Gala Bingo proved the most popular of the sites listed, gaining 19% of the vote and beating its rival Mecca Bingo, which only received 5% of the vote. A surprise favourite, in second place, was Gone Bingo, which offers generous sign up bonuses plus sophisticated graphics and games.

Another intriguing result was that of Astro Bingo, which received 6% of the vote, proving the appeal of smaller, more intimate sites geared towards female players. Perhaps the most interesting result was the option ‘other site not listed’, which received a huge 30% of the vote.

Rob says: "Gala Bingo, as expected, proved extremely popular. However, there´s an overwhelming amount of choice in the online bingo market, and the popularity of less well known sites proves that players are not afraid to shop around for a deal that appeals to them. Big names such as Gala, Mecca and Foxy Bingo need to work hard to keep their customers coming back. At Unluckyforsome.co.uk, we also need to work hard to keep bringing the latest news and information to our visitors."
