Young Audience Vote for Online Bingo
2011-02-14 10:25:00 | Written by: Carol Dian
Not only are research figures showing that a younger audience is voting for online bingo, these very important numbers are also indicating that up to 40% of online bingo players are new to the game. It has been a long time since bingo has been deemed to be a social pass time only for the elderly in the UK, and contrary to popular belief online bingo does not appear to cannibalize the land based industry as much as might have once been thought. In fact online bingo could even be the cause for resurrection of what was possibly becoming an out-dated socializing activity. However we have also seen that players have not completely dropped their night out at the bingo hall, although this may have changed from two nights a week to one night a week; what they have done is added playing online to their list of favourite activities.
The under-30-set spends much of their time socializing on the internet and with bingo being such a social game, many UK online bingo sites have become social networking homes for players. Not only do they have the added benefit of playing bingo, which you can't do on Facebook, but friends and relatives who are geographically far apart stay in touch, post pictures, share news and enjoy a virtual night or coffee morning at the bingo together.
External factors other than online bingo have had a massive affect on the live bingo industry; new regulations, the smoking ban, the economic downturn. But it is interesting to note that world-wide 100 million people still play at live bingo clubs, and many of the young audience who would never have dreamed of stepping a foot in a bingo hall; have played online and will now attend a life bingo club for a night out on the town with their pals.Related News
