Online bingo is a very popular game among older people and it has now spread to the younger generation. It is considered as a relaxing pass time as well as an exciting game where luck dictates victory.

After the recent crack down on the online poker sites, the US Department of Justice has started investigating the activities of many online bingo sites. Most sites when accessed show an official notice by the Department of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Homeland Security Investigations.

One such site that is affected by this action is Funtime Bingo. When players tried to log in they were in for a nasty surprise when they saw the seizure notice issued by the US Attorney’s Office and the District Court of Maryland. Although Funtime Bingo is set to make a come back, other online bingo sites are on high alert.

Funtime Bingo has announced its return on a fresh domain and location and has decided to inform members through Facebook. Although many online gambling sites are getting reinstated, the World Bingo Network recently announced its closure.

In an official statement issued by the World Bingo Network, it was said that due uncontrollably challenging environments making it impossible for their operations to run, they were forced to shut down. It was also declared that the players that invested in their network would get a refund at the earliest.
