Word has reached us at thebingofinder that another bingo portal has found reviewing bingo isn’t enough – and is starting up a new bingo platform! Despite some expert views that the online bingo market is becoming a little crowded, another bingo referral portal is defying some opinions and looks set to open a new online bingo site within the first quarter of this year!
Blueburra Limited was founded by the team who set up online bingo portal Bingoport.co.uk and it is rumoured that the company is thought to be gearing up to introduce its own bingo solution to the UK market. We are told the company has already signed a commercial bingo deal with Swedish gaming software provider NYX Interactive, and is currently going full steam ahead for a new product launch as soon as possible!
Despite some predicting this year may find slower growth in the online bingo world, the latest venture signals what we feel is a much bigger and continuing trend – as we highlighted earlier in the year, bingo portals seem to be more confident about making the leap into bonafide online bingo sites than ever before! And who can blame them, with experts predicting that the online bingo world looks set to top US$ 1.97 billion by 2012. There is clearly big bucks to be had, and Blueburra seem intent on grabbing a few for themselves!
Speaking about the move, Chris Phillips, General Manager of Blueburra commented, “We chose to partner with NYX for our bingo offering because NYX offers fresh and exciting bingo software.”
A statement from NYX Interactive also hinted at the tenacity of Blueburra, saying “This is a significant move for a free site like Bingoport to launch their own bingo brand.”
But as these bingo portal sites boost their player databases, it seems natural that many may try to use this to create a site that they new will be a big success with their fans. We have seen it happen before (and to great effect) with Costa Bingo, which began life as a humble online bingo affiliate and now is a rather fab thorn in the side for Cheeky Bingo when it comes to free, no deposit bingo.
And most recently, we have seen the launch of Tea and Bingo, which to us, seems like one of the brightest online bingo kids on the block. Now offering a great 100% first deposit bonus, when you sign up to Tea and Bingo and deposit anything between £10 and £250, the guys will match it, doubling your startup online bingo fund! With thoughtful design and some fab sign up bonus offers, Tea and Bingo and Costa Bingo have both managed to show that having a bit of connection with the people can do wonders when you are making the leap from fan to operator! So if all this talk of turning from the reviewer to reviewed makes you fancy a bit of fan lead bingo action ahead of Blueburra’s imminent venture, why not try Costa Bingo or Tea and Bingo today!
