Throughout the European countries, the Bingo playing mania has already rooted as evidenced by the studies and statistics coming out from time to time. Owing its origin of birth to Italy, Bingo games made a round-robin tour of almost all countries of the European continent, if not in the Asian and African countries. In Australia and New Zealand also Bingo games are popular but with a different name “Housie”. What started as a game of Lottery and is still known as “Lotto” in many Scandinavian parts of Europe, made its travel to U.S.A. and Canada in the thirties; won the hearts of people there; crossed the Atlantic to reach Great Britain in the sixties to become the most enjoyable pastime of the British populace today.

Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Iceland forming the Scandinavian origin; Austria; Belgium; Bulgaria; Cyprus; France; Germany; Greece; Hungary; Italy; Malta; Netherlands; Portugal and Spain, as members of the European Union have already welcomed Bingo games playing. But the land-club type Bingo games are not that famous in these countries as existing in the United Kingdom. Instead the online Bingo games are gathering momentum in popularity, because of the conveniences and comforts attached to online Bingo playing from the secluded privacy of one’s home.

One of the online Bingo observers and expert on the field of Bingo games, Joe Saumaraz-Smith has asserted in a recent article that Bingo games online have a tremendous growth in all these European countries in the years to come, the slowing down of launches of new online gaming sites notwithstanding. What is catching the attention and overall attraction of Bingo lovers is, Saumaraz-Smith has endorsed the popular view that the U.K. IS THE WORLD’S BEST DEVELOPED ONLINE BINGO GAMES MARKET. This finding is supported by the statistics pertaining to the growth of online Bingo playing sites – from just 17 only doing business in the year 2004, the number has grown spectacularly to 243 in 2008.

As regards patronage by the citizens of the United Kingdom of all ages, genders and genres to play Bingo online, it is estimated by Saumaraz-Smith that nearly half a million of them play Bingo games of assorted varieties offered by the U.K. online Bingo sites.

Spain has been identified as the next best and close competitor for online Bingo games in the European countries, with 40 new online Bingo halls coming to the fray in the last year, with Spanish as their operating language.

The most pointed setback for online Bingo games in these countries is the potential legal risks arising out of the restrictive practices and policies adopted by the online Bingo markets.
