Dive into the world of Irish bingo, a unique variation of the traditional game that has won hearts across the globe. 

 

Most people have most probably heard about bingo before. Known and loved for its simple nature and rules, bingo is one of the most popular games out there. 

So what is Irish bingo? It’s a special type of bingo that comes with its own rules and features. The best online casinos come with some attractive features and bonuses, including welcome bonuses, no deposit bonuses, and more.

 

The Allure of Irish Bingo

Irish Bingo is not just a game — it’s a cultural phenomenon that captures the spirit of Ireland in a fun and engaging way. In fact, in Ireland, bingo is played in churches, community centres, and homes. 

The allure of Irish bingo also lies in the sense of community it fosters. The bingo game combines fun, community, and culture, paired with a unique set of rules, making it a fresh and exciting experience for players of all backgrounds. Whether played in a bustling bingo hall or on an online casinos site, the game brings people together, fostering camaraderie and friendly competition.

 

The History and Evolution of Irish Bingo

Bingo is thought to have started in the 15th century in Italy, where it started as a lottery game called “Lo Giuoco del Lotto D’Italia” – and it wasn’t long before bingo was popping up all over Europe for centuries to come. 

Around the 1960s, Bingo settled in Ireland. It was adopted by Gael Linn, a private Irish organisation that was established to promote the Irish language and culture. They used bingo as a way to encourage the use of the Irish language, and the game quickly became a popular pastime in Ireland. In the 1970s, Gael Linn bought large buildings and transformed them into Bingo halls.

 

The Rules of Irish Bingo

Before we delve into the unique rules of Irish Bingo, let’s first understand the general rules of the traditional bingo game. 

Bingo is  one of the easiest games out there. At the beginning, players are given a card with a grid of numbers. Then a caller or a random number generator selects and announces numbers. If a player has that number on their card, they mark it off. The aim of the game is to be the first to mark off a specific pattern of numbers, usually a straight line of five numbers.

Just like in traditional Bingo, numbers are randomly drawn and called out. The only difference is that In Irish bingo, every player starts the game standing up. If a called number is on your ticket, you sit down. This is a fun twist on traditional Bingo where you would normally mark off the called number on your card. 

The bingo game continues until there’s only one players left standing. This player is the last person who had a called number on their ticket, and they win.

 

The Shift to Digital

Bingo is fun when played in-person and serves as a wonderful activity for people to come together while enjoying the game. However, over the years, there has been a shift where people prefer to play online from the comfort of their own home. 

Online betting platforms and dedicated bingo websites now provide the opportunity to play wherever you are. The best online casinos come with some unique features such as free entries, attractive bonuses and promotions, and jackpots, to name just a few. 

The Benefits of Playing Irish Bingo Online

The shift to digital and the rise of online gambling sites has opened up a new world of possibilities for Irish bingo enthusiasts. Here are some of the key benefits of playing Irish bingo online:

  • It’s convenient: You can play from the comfort of your own home or on the go, as long as you have an internet connection. No need to travel to a bingo hall or arrange a specific time to play with friends.
  • More options: Online casinos offer a great range of Irish bingo variats, from 90 Ball to Jackpot Bingo. This means you can always find a game that suits your personal preferences and level of experience.

  • Play at your own pace: Most casinos allow you to pause the game if you need a break, and you can even play multiple games at once if you’re looking for a challenge.

 

The Future of Irish Bingo

As we look to the future, it’s clear that Irish bingo is here to stay. The game has successfully adapted to the digital age, and its popularity continues to grow. But what does the future hold for this beloved game?

  • Continued digital growth: The shift to digital has opened up new opportunities for Irish bingo.

  • Preservation of tradition: While the digital shift has brought many changes, the core elements of Irish Bingo remain the same. The unique rules, the social aspect, and the connection to Irish culture are all integral parts of the game. As Irish Bingo moves into the future, it’s important that these traditions are preserved.
  • Sustainability: As with all aspects of life, sustainability is becoming an increasingly important consideration.

Expanse Studios Secures Romanian Class 2 B2B Gaming License

Published

on

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Expanse Studios, a B2B iGaming content provider and subsidiary of Golden Matrix Group Inc. (NASDAQ: GMGI), has been granted a Class 2 license by Romania’s National Gambling Office (ONJN), authorizing the company to distribute specialized gaming software across one of Europe’s fastest-growing regulated markets.

The license, granted under Decision No. 273, enables Expanse Studios to provide its portfolio of proprietary slot games, crash games, and casino content to licensed Romanian operators. This approval positions the company to serve a market that generated approximately €600 million in gross gaming revenue in 2024 and maintains one of Europe’s highest channelization rates at over 90%.

Strategic Entry into High-Growth Regulated Market

Romania represents one of Eastern Europe’s most dynamic iGaming jurisdictions, with internet penetration reaching 88% of its 19 million population and a regulatory framework that has attracted over 50 licensed operators. The market has demonstrated consistent growth, with total industry turnover exceeding €2 billion in 2023, reflecting a 15% year-over-year increase.

The Class 2 B2B license allows Expanse Studios to distribute content to Romania’s licensed B2C operators without establishing a Romanian entity or paying Romanian corporate taxes, while providing access to a market where mobile gaming dominates and player engagement continues to accelerate.

Romania’s stringent licensing requirements under Government Emergency Ordinance 77/2009 make ONJN approval a significant credential for B2B providers. The regulatory framework emphasizes technical compliance, player protection, and operational transparency—requirements that align with Expanse Studios’ existing European operations across 1,300+ casino brands.

“Securing ONJN approval validates our technical capabilities and regulatory compliance standards in one of Europe’s most demanding jurisdictions,” said Damjan Stamenkovic, CEO of Expanse Studios. “Romania offers substantial distribution opportunities through licensed operators serving a tech-savvy player base with strong engagement metrics. This license strengthens our European B2B footprint and demonstrates our ability to meet the compliance requirements of mature regulated markets.”

Expanding B2B Distribution Infrastructure

The Romanian license complements Expanse Studios’ recent European partnerships, reflecting accelerating demand for the company’s content across regulated jurisdictions. With 56 proprietary titles including Super Heli, Titan Roulette, and Wild Icy Fruits, Expanse continues scaling its high-margin B2B operations across Europe, Latin America, and North America.

Romania’s market characteristics—including preference for mobile platforms, strong affinity for slot content, and established payment infrastructure—align well with Expanse Studios’ content portfolio and distribution model. The company’s games will be available to Romanian operators seeking certified, compliant content for their licensed platforms.

This license approval reinforces Golden Matrix Group’s broader strategy of expanding regulated B2B operations in jurisdictions with transparent licensing frameworks and sustainable growth trajectories.
