What has always set Bingo apart from its competition is its social network. Back when online bingo was nothing but a thought in a very clever person’s mind, people were flocking to the bingo halls, in their droves, to have a little gamble amongst friends.
The Bingo halls are still brimming with people, but there is a new kid on the block. That clever person’s mind eventually spewed forth a plan for online bingo, and several forms of action later and it’s picking up steam as one of the most popular forms of gambling on the Internet.
Online bingo is a revelation, but whilst the land-based bingo halls struggle to create an innovative experience, the online realm has to constantly work hard to create the social network that brought people out of their front door in the first instance; but they are getting there.
A look over your shoulder will reveal that in 2004 there were just 20 online bingo sites operating within the UK. These days that number is in excess of 350, and it’s not just the usual suspects getting involved, with supermarket chains like Iceland opening up their own online bingo rooms.
Online bingo rooms work extremely hard with their customers to provide them with the social environment they need. This isn’t online poker. You aren’t going to find a professional bingo player waiting like a shark for all the little fishes to enter the water.
Bingo players enjoy the pastime. It’s a hobby and it’s never about the money, it’s more about meeting people and having a great time. The chat rooms are always full of banter and regulars meet and greet as often as teenage kids do on the X Box and Playstation.
With the world seemingly attracted to a more sedentary lifestyle, it seems online bingo is not just here to stay; it’s here to grow.
