Bingo Club Players Switching To Online...Pah! - Old News Archive

Posted On: Wednesday, 22 October, 2008

just been reading this article claiming that online bingo is the reason that people are being driven away from the bingo halls. This I don't think is strictly true in my opinion. I have found that it is only a small proportion of bingo hall players play online and in club.....some statistics say that it is only a 5%-15% crossover with people who go to clubs and people who play online.

Now that I can say that I work in the online environment whenever I speak to people when I play in club I find out that few if in fact no people actually play bingo at home. To them bingo is still a social event and is treated as such.

It's a shame really, because I would love to be mauled in the clubs by people screaming 'aaahhhh its that guy from the telly/Internet' but it never happens!!!!!!!! I still think there is a definite difference between players in bingo halls (by the way it is nice to see the article about the recent good fortune.....maybe the doom and gloom is over for bingo halls) and online: until such a time as some bright spark can figure out how to merge the two together and have a 'MEGA' game with people in club/online and on Telly it looks like it will stay that way.
