This month the heavily rotated estimation of a 19% rise in online bingo daily player numbers has been very much on our minds. Since September 2007 the figures have steadily crept up - in our opinion this is down to the new wave of television adverts and the number of new sites that are appearing across our bingo universe. The increasing awareness of what sites like Foxy , Mecca , Think Bingo and 888 Ladies have to offer allows players who are less inclined to go out of an evening (e.g. mothers and older players) to experience a bit of fun and meet like-minded people in the comfort of their own home.

We all love bonuses

Combine this with the number of fab sign up bonuses that are currently offered with up to 150% back on your first deposit and 50% on further deposits, from some sites, and there really is no reason why people wouldn't give online bingo a go. Online bingo is one of the fastest growing sectors in online gaming, and the numbers show its cross-generational appeal. With more sites appearing with male players in mind, the traditional stereotype of the elderly woman playing bingo on a regular basis truly is becoming a thing of the past.
