Euro 2008 Widows find a new source of fun at Will Hill
16th June, 2008
William Hill has reported record numbers of people registering on their bingo site and up to 10 times as many players joining in to play online Bingo, as they would normally expect to see.
Jennie Prest, PR Manager at William Hill stated that "Since the start of the tournament(Euro 2008) we've had a sudden rise in the number of players logging on in the evening and we can only deduce that it's down to the football. With the matches dominating the TV schedule, the non-footie fans out there are looking for their own bit of excitement and William Hill Bingo is benefiting.
Even though England have been knocked out of the competition, Will Hill has reported massive betting on Euro 2008 and then to add to that they are doing pretty well from the new surge of 'football widows' playing online bingo.
Will Hill Bingo has a number of different 'rooms' where bingo can be played and normally there are up to about 75 games at least per football match. Players can play bingo or also slots and scratch cards. The company has given away a total prize fund of over £75 million in the last 18 months, and players at William hill bingo can win prizes of up to £100,000
