Software used by online bingo sites
In online bingo, the majority of sites have games which are supplied to them by unique software providers and it is often the case that each site will use the same one for their games, however, if they also have slots available, then they may also use software providers that are associated with the wider online gambling industry as well. We are going to explore the various software providers that cater for online bingo games though, with each provider typically being called a network which has various sites on their platform.
Virtue Fusion

The company actually formed in 1999 and has since grown considerably in stature over the years. One of the main strengths of the Virtue Fusion software is that up to 15,000 people can access the network at any one time and as a result, it usually means that the jackpots are considerable.
