WhichBingo Releases 2020 Annual Report Outlining the State of the UK’s Online Bingo Market
The report highlights a wealth of statistics about the online community including demographics, spending and playing habits, as well as perceptions of regulation
WhichBingo, the UK’s number one, independent online bingo reviews website owned and operated by XLMedia, today issued its fifth annual online bingo report outlining the state of the UK’s online Bingo market. The report highlights a wealth of statistics about the online community including demographics, spending and playing habits as well as perceptions of regulation. The impact of regulatory headwinds on the industry revealed that the majority of users want responsible gaming tools that abide by regulations and safeguard their experience.
In 2019, regulatory changes imposed on, and operator-led initiatives taken by, the online gambling industry limited advertising windows, established tighter money-laundering prevention requirements, and enacted more stringent checks aimed at preventing a rise in problem gambling. As a result of these checks, bingo operators focused yet further on consumer needs and safety, which had a positive response from users. The most popular feature utilized was establishing spending limits, with seventy percent of those surveyed relaying that they had now set-up deposit limits to ensure they played responsibly.
“We are confident that the success and popularity of online bingo will continue to grow throughout 2020,” said Stuart Simms, CEO of XLMedia. “The emphasis placed on producing quality content and providing value for our users has been at the core of WhichBingo’s success in 2019. In 2020, we will be doubling down on this approach, as well as actively harnessing artificial intelligence and machine learning to further personalise the bingo experience. We will also continue to help brands adapt and meet new guidelines as further regulation in the market helps create long-term sustainability and greater profitability, and an enhanced overall experience for users.”
Key findings of the report include:
- 78% of players play at least once a week.
- Online bingo players are overwhelmingly female (78%).
- Almost 80% of online bingo players are between the ages of 35-64.
- 72% of online bingo players play across two or more different sites.
- 27% of online bingo players deposit more than £50 pounds every month.
- Setting a deposit limit is most commonly used responsible gambling tool used by players, with over 70% having used this feature.
- 40% of players admitted to having temporarily prevented themselves from accessing their favourite sites by either using a cooling off period or temporary self-exclusion.

Intelitics rolls out generative AI reporting tool for iGaming marketers
Intelitics today announced the launch of Actionable Intelligence, a generative AI reporting feature designed to let iGaming, sports betting and real-money marketing teams create custom data visualisations on demand by asking questions in plain language.
The company said the tool builds on Intelitics’ existing reporting suite used to track partner performance, campaign ROI and acquisition metrics. With Actionable Intelligence, operators can query their Intelitics data directly and receive a visualisation without commissioning a new report or writing code.
Use cases cited by Intelitics include comparing partner performance by traffic source, drilling into individual campaigns and breaking down player value by acquisition channel. Intelitics said that if a visualisation is useful, its customer support team can add it to a customer’s standard dashboard as a permanent report.
“The data our customers need to make better decisions has always been inside Intelitics,” said Allan Stone, founder and CEO of Intelitics. “Actionable Intelligence makes it accessible on their terms, with no technical skills required and no waiting for a report to be built. We designed it so that everyone on a marketing team, not just the analysts, can explore their data and act on what they find – and we built it to understand the way iGaming and affiliate marketers actually talk about their business, from partners and offers to GGR and NGR.”
The feature is built to interpret iGaming and affiliate marketing terms including partners, offers, traffic sources, player value, acquisition channels, GGR and NGR, Intelitics said. The company also said the feature operates within each customer’s Intelitics environment, with customer data not pooled across accounts, shared with third parties, or used to train any model outside that environment—positioning the tool for operators in regulated markets with data governance and licensing requirements.
