Why are Bingo Sites so Popular?

There are many emerging trends and games coming onto the market these days. Trends can spring up almost overnight and they don’t seem to come from anywhere at all. One recent fad that’s taken the world by storm is playing on online bingo sites, they’re not just for your granny anymore!


So what makes these sites popular?

Firstly we have the added convenience that they bring, you don’t need to head out to the bingo hall you can just access them online. For online gamers, it’s just a short few taps between surfing Facebook to playing some real money games.

Jackpots
Jackpots are au fait for bingo players, who doesn’t love the chance to win some cash? It’s important to bear in mind that these aren’t guaranteed and there’s still an element of risk with any type of gambling. This is a message that has been recently promoted by groups like Gamcare and other responsible gambling bodies.

Variety
Back in the day of playing bingo in a hall, there would be one caller, 90 balls and a whole load of bingo cards. Online, you’ll find an updated version of the game on most sites and lots of varieties of other games too. This gives the player variety, let’s face it that’s what we look for in most gaming and media creations.

Affordable
The price point of bingo is fully flexible, you can bet anything from pennies to pounds. If you’re accustomed to looking for deals on the latest fashion then you’ll enjoy bargain hunting on bingo sites too. On many of these sites, you’ll find that you can play for free and even win real cash. It’s all about taking your time to find the best places to play.

Rewards
If you’re the kind of person that likes to be rewarded for loyalty, collecting stamps and points from your fave coffee chains then you’ll like online bingo. With the vast majority of sites, every pound that you spend will reward you with something extra. The more you spend over your time on the site, the bigger these rewards will usually become. They can include free spins, bonuses and more.

In the earlier days of internet gambling, these sites could be seen as a bit sketchy. Thanks to the efforts of the UK Gambling Commission and their enforcement teams this is no longer the case. For a site to be allowed to operate in the UK they must be tested and these licences can even be revoked.

Though you may associate bingo with an older population, this is a trend that is changing drastically. Millennials have the highest amount of disposable income so it makes sense for these companies to appeal to them.

They should be looking for these players and using traditional marketing techniques to appeal to them.

If you’re intrigued by this trend then the only advice we can give you is to try it out for yourself! You might just become the latest convert to the bingo playing world if you do.
