Bingo Hideout, one of the UK’s leading bingo portals, launches new social network for online bingo fans

6 April 2009 – With an estimated 500,000* Brits playing online bingo every month – and numbers continuing to grow – Bingo Hideout, one of the UK’s leading bingo portals, has launched a new Facebook-style social network for fans of the web-based game.

Bingo Hideout already features offers and news from over 50 top bingo websites including Foxy Bingo, Wink Bingo and Gala Bingo, with the new social network designed to offer an online community where members can chat about everything from the latest bingo deals to weekend plans.

Joining is free and members can create their own profile page where they can upload photos, write messages, contact friends, write on ‘walls’ and form common interest groups.

Ben Thorns, director of Bingo Hideout, says: “Social networking sites have become an important part of people’s lives as they offer an easily accessible, free and user friendly method of keeping in touch. What we have seen with online bingo is that the social side is an integral part of its popularity, so we wanted to offer our members the opportunity to make the most of the interaction in a fun and convenient way.”

Established in 2006, Bingo Hideout has grown to become one of the UK’s leading bingo portals and now has over 25,000 members.

Ben adds: “Just like sites such as Facebook, our new social network allows members to keep in touch with friends, share photographs and catch up with gossip. On our site they can be part of a community that shares a love of bingo, with the added extra of finding out the best offers and promotions from the world of online bingo.”
