Online Bingo Trends in the UK
A looked at business reports and surveys from a selection of sources from the end of last year to most lately to get a feeling of whether online Bingo is still increasing in popularity or reaching saturation point.
Surveys show that online Bingo is far more popular the further north you go in Great Britain, with London only having a mere 4% of web Bingo players. Why is that? Are the other attractions of London so very varied that Bingo will always be way down on people’s lists of things worth doing? Was it always that way? It appears not- Bingo was very fashionable in London and the South coast resorts in the 50′s and 60′s, however it appears the move from live Bingo to online hasn’t swept London and the South together with it as it seems to have the central and Northern parts of the United Kingdom.
One of the draws of online Bingo is its accessibility. You don’t have to hang about for the Bingo hall to open its doors at 2pm to get a game, only to be emptied out onto a cold and bus-less street at 11pm as it used to be in the area of London where I grew up. Once you have signed up to a site, you can usually be playing a game inside a few minutes of flicking on your laptop or P.C, day or night. And that shows in surveys- nearly half those surveyed stated that they generally played each day! The same proportion, just about half, announced they had met and made chums while playing Bingo online, indicating that the trend in social networking like through twitter and Face book, was alive and well and growing in online Bingo. When asked how would they want their lives to modify, over half said to be better off, and have more discretionary earnings. Therefore the need to win large is still alive and well and living in online Bingo players!
Information drawn from online sites seems to show that the UK is the speediest growing market for online Bingo, and the expansion of new sites about weekly, appear to affirm this. Will there come a point where all those who want to play online Bingo have found their most preferred sites, and noobies will go to the wall as there are insufficient new players to entice, too much competition, and the bigger established sites have enough resources to give good-looking commitment rewards to keep their players from straying away!
Finally, it appears eight out of 10 players in the UK are girls how things have changed from when I used to go to live ( or “land-based Bingo” as it is called these days ) Bingo, when the whole family was there, partners and pops as well!
