There can be no denying the incredible success of the online bingo industry.

According to the figures released by Global Betting and Gaming Consultants (GBGC) online bingo games generated wins of £72 million over the last 12 months. Analysts expect this number to rise further until by 2013 it is near the £164 million mark.
 
Delegates booking for the 2nd Annual Online Bingo Summit which will take place in September in London are very excited by the bingo boom, which flies in the face of naysayers predicting the game's downfall after the US legal clampdown on online gambling in 2006.

Mr Phil Fraser, the chairman at this year's Summit, explains the rise and rise of the game, saying: "Increased awareness of online bingo in the mass market, driven by the big land-based bingo brands and media owners' bingo sites, means that there is still much room for growth. Continuing increases in broadband into people's homes and the increase in variety and quality of product also contributes to this opportunity."
 
Dominic Mansour, another keynote speaker adds " It has long been the case that a form of gambling that attracts nearly 2 million visits a week in the UK alone, yet reflects only a single digit percentage of online gaming would be the next big thing."

With over half of the exhibitin area already booked by 70 companies, the summit is expected to be a masive success.
