According to the report in Financial Mail, Facebook, a social networking giant, took the decision to join the online real money gambling sector. Now Facebook, and other social networking websites, will offer real money casino and fun games. This social networking giant first made attempts to enter online gambling sector when it allowed online and mobile casinos to open pages on Facebook. Bingo will be the first game to play for real money, as online bingo is one of the most popular games provided for Facebook users. Facebook is going to introduce the Bingo Friendzy application in cooperation with Gamesys to target the vast social network market.

Gamesys is one of the largest and the most reputable online gambling providers in the UK. Now Facebook is holding negotiations with several online gambling companies about launching such games as online slots, blackjack, online roulette and poker. Nevertheless, the uncertain legal and political climate in the USA, Facebook will be unable to expand the variety of games which can be played for real money. Zynga, one of the largest Facebook partner, is planning to convert its poker, bingo and slots to real money games.
