Desperate to impress Wall Street, Facebook (FB) now allows users 18 and older in the United Kingdom to play games for real money, TechCrunch reported on Tuesday.
The first gambling application to hit the social network is called Bingo Friendzy and it offers users the chance to play various bingo and slot machine games with real money rather than Facebook credits.
Gamesys, a British company that operates the U.K.’s largest bingo and slots website, is offering the game and while Facebook is not directly involved, it is reportedly testing the waters to determine if online gambling might be a viable revenue stream.
