But other organizations are trying to use the multi-billion euro industry to help with their charitable donations as well. And what better venue to work in than the online bingo world, which seems to be growing at massive rates. 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 in County Roscommon. Ireland's first online bingo site, Rehab Bingo.com, aims to attract players from as far apart as the US and Japan to help finance Rehab's community based training, education, employment and social care services. Irish online game players, particularly young women , and regular visitors to the hundreds of traditional bingo halls around the country are also being targeted by the initiative which aims to raise €1 million over the next five years. Rehab Lotteries managing director, Dr. John McGuire stated that, "Bingo has always been a hugely popular method of charity fund-raising in Ireland". They believe that the online bingo version of the game can become a major contributor to developing Rehab services in Roscommon and throughout the rest of the country. It is estimated that more than five million people play online bingo around the world each day and just capturing a fraction of that market, on top of those playing in Ireland, would make this a very successful enterprise. Dr. McGuire added that around three quarters of regular online 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. << Back   Copyright 2004 © Top Online Bingo. All rights reserved.
