Facebook launches real-money gambling app

Out of interest . . if you were from the UK would you use the app?

I personally have no intentions of using this App, but then I don't play bingo either online or anywhere for that matter. If they brought in similar Apps for Poker or Sports Betting, then I would have to think about it, but would still most likely continue to play Offshore if I am honest.

Not for bingo..

Zuckerberg...Bingo? Really?

**Maniac** · 08-07-12, 06:45 PM

Actually, as far as business plans, I think its a very smart move to start off with just Bingo - Online Bingo is huge at the moment as far as I know, and is barely any risk once your overheads are covered, and just think of all the bored housewives who already waste so much time farming and doing whatever else on Facebook who will jump at the chance to potentially win a bit of money.

In terms of risk, once the Bingo business has built up a bit the next logical step should probably be to add various Casino Games, then after a while possibly Poker and finally Sports Betting. All these next steps have a lot of potential issues though and are always heavily in the spotlight for mostly negative reasons from various governments etc looking to cash in...while Bingo at the moment seems to be fairly under the radar and therefore the safest option to build a business around I would say.

Great theory unless the stock hits 0 before this all unravels...

I agree with you there.

Let's see if this is the start of other things to follow.
