This week, reports in different newspaper confirmed that Facebook, social networking giant, finally moved forward and entered the world of real money online gambling. Initially, this feature will only be limited to people hailing from UK. Again, players, who are above the age of 18 years, will only be allowed to play online casino games.

This move by Facebook has finally ended the speculation, going on for weeks, with relation to social networking sites’ role in real money casino products in the coming period for propping up their revenue.

The moment Facebook gave access to online casinos for opening pages on its site, it was pretty much certain that Facebook was fast inclining towards internet gambling. And this move has confirmed their stand.

Bingo is going to be the first online gambling vertical to be offered at Facebook. Julien Codorniou, who is the head for Facebook’s Gaming section in Africa, Europe and Middle East, said that the popularity of online bingo in UK is unquestionable. Again, it is properly regulated as well. For several bingo players, the game is more of a social experience, which is why Facebook has decided to opt for this particular casino game.

Bingo Friendzy, the new Bingo App, will be launched on Facebook as a part of a joint venture with Gamesys. This venture will target the immense online market of the social networking site.

Codorniou said, “We are working as a distributing platform for Gamesys. They will be offering the games, whereas we will be bringing the audience for those games.”
