Bingo enters social networking age

Online bingo could change in the future with bingo players able to build their own virtual communities while playing their favourite games online with the latest software advance from Alderney licensed internet gambling platform provider Virtue Fusion Limited.

Players at websites Bet365.com, William Hill.com, PaddyPower.com, Ladbrokes.com, Virgingames,com and GoldenHatBingo.com will be able to enjoy games which are embedded with social networking features.

The software has taken nine months to develop with bingo players having the opportunity to upload pictures and information to build up your profiles.

“Whether online or offline, bingo has always been a very sociable game,” said Bob McCulloch, Chief Executive Officer for Virtue Fusion.

“With the new networking and profile-building element that we are introducing, players of all our games will be able to chat and stay in touch with their online friends before, during and after their bingo sessions.

“This marks a major stage in the development of our products. After nearly a year in the making, our clients and their customers will be getting an excellent application that will be fun and easy to use and appeal to players of all ages.

“It’s good to be able to round the year off with the launch of a product that has its roots firmly embedded in our underlying strategy of developing offerings that not only entertain and give customer satisfaction but also retain their attention. This social networking product, while in its embryonic stage, has the potential to increase customer retention and, in future releases, be used as a follow-up and prospecting tool. Watch this space next year for new developments.”
