UK Players First to Experience Real-Money Facebook Gambling
This week, Facebook launched its first-ever real-money gambling application. It came in the form of an online bingo application called Bingo Friendzy, developed by GameSys. The company already operates one of the most popular play-money Facebook casinos, Jackpot Joy, which is also a real-money casino in the online gambling market. So, it was a natural transition to make.
UK players are the only ones who will have access to this new and exciting online gaming application. Geo-location technology will ensure that they are the only players that can log into the new game while ID verification ensures that underage children cannot access it either.
Bingo Friendzy will allow players to purchase online bingo tickets for affordable prices just like they would at any other online bingo site. Players have access to generous cash prizes, including community progressive jackpots – where everyone wins! The game also comes equipped with some great social networking features, such as friend invitations and in-game chat rooms.
This is a huge development for the Facebook gaming world, and it will likely inspire other developers to adopt a similar approach. For example, IGT recently purchased Double Down and now operates Facebook’s Double Down Casino. So, it is unlikely that the company will wait very long before launching its own real-money Facebook application.
