Spain – Next Big Market for Online Bingo

Tuesday, April 5th, 2011 - Emily W

The online bingo industry originally got its start in the UK. For years, the United Kingdom has been the central hub for online bingo, but many other countries are presenting new opportunities. In addition to France and Italy, Spain is one such country, and many online bingo operators are taking advantage of the profitability of the Spanish bingo market.

Spain is currently in the process of revamping its gaming laws, to allow for residents to take part in regulated online gaming. Many online bingo operators have taken a head start by offering their websites in Spanish. This year, the law is expected to be passed, and players from across Spain will be able to legally play at well-regulated online bingo websites.

The country is also looking at the option of legalizing and regulating mobile gambling. This would allow for players to access their favourite online bingo websites from their mobile phones. Mobile gaming is also becoming increasingly popular as more and more people gain access to smart phones and other mobile communication devices. By regulating the mobile industry, as well, the Spanish bingo market will continue to expand and flourish.
