Traditional bingo halls in the UK have suffered severely since the introduction of the Gambling Act, which imposed taxes and other restrictions on their activity. Another major factor that has affected their popularity is the smoking ban, which prevents smoking in all public places and has been driving bingo players away in hordes. This decline in popularity simply paved the way for online bingo websites to come into action and re-ignite the game that has been popular in the UK for so long. There are currently 243 registered online bingo websites on the internet, satisfying the demands of a massive 500,000 players – double the number at the same time last year. It is a very competitive industry, and many websites are battling with one-another to try and make their mark on the internet and get the majority of bingo players visiting their website. Most websites offer bonuses to new and loyal customers, both to attract news players and also reward those who keep playing at their website. There are obvious advantages to the customer for playing online bingo, such as convenience and the fact that you don’t even have to leave the comfort of your bedroom to play – you could even play whilst laid in bed, just don’t fall asleep or you might miss a number! The jackpots at online bingo sites can run into the millions of pounds, because players are joining from all over the UK – and sometimes from all over the world. More players means more joining fees and a larger pot – although your chances of winning might be less.
