The game of online bingo is about to get a whole lot more interesting for players on the bingo social networking front thanks the a new product launch by Virtue Fusion, Alderney, which is due to land at some of their licensed bingo sites today. Bingo has always been one of the most social forms of gaming there is whether it is played online or at land based bingo clubs and new technology is about to help keep the ‘social’ aspect of bingo, alive and kicking online in more ways than one.

Virtue fusion have been busy working behind the bingo scenes for the past nine months developing and testing their all new social networking online bingo feature. Some of the first virtue fusion based bingo sites on the net who will be showcasing this new product as from today are set to include Virgin Bingo, Paddy Power Bingo and Ladbrokes Bingo.

Speaking about this new feature, CEO of Virtue Fusion, Bob McCulloch commented, “Whether online or offline, bingo has always been a very sociable game. With the new networking and profile-building element that we are introducing, players of all our games will be able to chat and stay in touch with their online friends before, during and after their bingo sessions. This marks a major stage in the development of our products. After nearly a year in the making, our clients and their customers will be getting an excellent application that will be fun and easy to use, appealing to players of all ages.”

This new online bingo technology will enable online bingo players to create their own virtue bingo communities which can be viewed from in the bingo game window. They will be able to upload pictures of themselves and other personal information, which can be seen by their online bingo friends.

Instead of players just being able to see bingo nicknames in the chat window, they will be able to view a profile photo of their friends and their real name alongside it, plus other info they care to share about themselves. So a real social networking bingo community can be built up.

All accounts will be screened vigorously by a team of online monitors at Virtue Fusion to insure all content on player’s profiles meets their strict criteria for privacy and decency.
