Online bingo operators and observers of the online bingo games industry in general will be heartened by news from Norway that that country’s online gambling market grew by an impressive 6.1% last year. Statistics put out by the Norwegian Gambling Commission show an estimated 244,000 Norwegians gambled online in 2007 spending Euro 961 millions. The Norwegian Lotto was stated as the preferred online game by 48 percent of the sample, followed by online Poker at 28 percent, sports betting at 27 percent and casino games at 7 percent. In terms of favored sites, 21 percent named Unibet as their preferred venue, followed by Betsson with 14 percent, Expekt with 11 percent, and NordicBet with 10 percent. The number of people who play bingo games online in Norway has not been specifically defined by the latest statistics, but bingo online industry insiders say the online bingo market is growing particularly quickly amongst the country’s female demographic.
