For this reason they are allowing their members to submit this game in a controlled and safe manner. Bingo is considered a social experience in our country so it makes sense to offer it in a social network, added Codorniou.

Zuckerberg and the company plans to use technology that recognizes the age of users to prevent young people "vulnerable" to access the app, but gave no details on how exactly they plan to do that. Is also unclear how much money you hope to gain by creating Facebook Gamesys. However, the social network takes normally about 30 percent of other transactions.
Facebook users in the United Kingdom can expect to see other applications of betting, as it is preparing a set of slots and a poker game designed by Zynga, both work with real money.
The online gaming is still a controversial issue in many countries so it is unlikely to see the release of these games or in other parts of the world in the short term.
