When asked, 22% reported logging into online bingo sites more often than they to the gym. A further 19% said they would rather play bingo online than go out shopping in weekends.

MarkJ from Lancashire UK could be entitled to a place in the online bingo history books.

The Unlawful Internet Gambling Act (UIGEA) prohibits online bingo sites from offering bingo games to US players at all. The controversial law was discussed in an April 2 Congressional hearing, with the appropriate title “Proposed UIGEA Regulations: Burden Without Benefit?”. The House Committee on Financial Services is now required to make a decision about this law.
Arguments against the law are being made not only by the Gaming industry, but also by the financial institutions that have been targeted by authorities and required to prevent USA players from making deposits in online gambling sites. Businessmen from the American Banking Association (ABA) as well as Barney Frank and Robert Wexler are called to present their views on the issue and ways to work around the more problematic aspects of this law.
