Ireland Online Bingo Games Reach €2 Million Payout Milestone, as Bingo Players Flock to Rehabbingo.com

25 May 2006

Dublin, Ireland (PRWEB) May 24, 2006 -- Rehab Bingo is continuing rapid growth from a successful 2005 launch by surpassing the €2 million payout mark in its first six months of operation. Rehab Bingo, a division of Rehab Lotteries Ltd, based in Dublin, is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Rehab Group, Ireland's largest not for profit organisation providing services to people with disabilities and those who are socially marginalised.


REHAB ONLINE BINGO is continuing its rapid growth from a successful 2005 launch by surpassing the €2 million payout mark in its first six months of operation. Rehab Lotteries is bidding to break into the €150 million global online bingo business in an effort to raise funds to develop vital new services for people with disabilities and those who are socially marginalised.


Ireland's first online bingo site, RehabBingo.com, is rapidly gaining popularity across Ireland. Irish bingo players — particularly young women — and regular visitors to the hundreds of traditional bingo halls around the country are finding Rehab Internet Bingo to be an enjoyable, engaging form of entertainment. On 20 May, 2006, Rehabbingo.com paid out its two millionth euro to a lucky bingo player, marking an important milestone in the evolution of this trendy online gaming site.


Bingo has always been a hugely popular method of charity fundraising in Ireland and Rehab believes that the online version of the game will continue to become even more popular. Said Rehab Lotteries managing director, Dr. John McGuire "Bingo has always been a hugely popular method of charity fund-raising in Ireland and we believe that the online version of the game will become a major contributor to developing Rehab services throughout Ireland."


Dr. McGuire noted that around three quarters of regular Internet bingo players at present are women despite the fact that up to now they had very little involvement in an online gaming market which is now worth €2 billion a year in Ireland alone. Studies also show that where online bingo is concerned, the main motivation for playing is entertainment as opposed to gambling. Added McGuire, ‘We expect online bingo and lottery activities to be a very important source of fundraising revenue in the future especially as the retailing of traditional lottery games through shops becomes more difficult.'
