While 888 Holding has made recent news with their talks with several airlines to make available online gambling to customers of these airlines such as British Airways and Cathay Pacific at least one of the online games they will offer is bingo as well as other casino games.

Virgin Airlines has its own portal and passengers on this airline have been able to game while they fly for approximately two years however they have not been able to place bets. This will be changing as this deal has been made with 888 Holdings who will be their betting provider, this will allow passengers to place bets and funds into their online accounts at the casino.

Some of the online games that will be offered by the airlines will be bingo, poker, blackjack, roulette, craps and slots for the passengers of the airlines.

Airlines that travel into the United States will disable the online gaming when flying into or out of the United States in order to comply with the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act. Two of these airlines that travel into the United States are British Airways and Singapore Airlines who intend to disable online gambling prior to reaching the United States.
