London, UK (PRWEB) February 25, 2009 -- Onlinebingoalerts.com, the UK online comparison site for internet bingo, today reported record growth in traffic figures, suggesting that this might be one sector that is less affected by the current financial climate.

Gaming Alerts Ltd today reported that it had seen a significant uplift in traffic to its bingo portal, onlinebingoalerts.com - in the region of a 20% increase over the last 2 months.
