It seems that Online Bingo is banishing the myth of the bingo blue-rinse brigade! You might be surprised to find out who actually plays Online Bingo! The 888 Ladies have been doing some fact finding and there are some interesting results…
Studies by the British Bingo Association have found that the game is increasingly popular among those under 45 years old, and it has even been claimed that Bingo has become the most popular of leisure activities for those under 25 years old. Around 85% of online bingo players are women.
The rise of Online Bingo has been attributed to accessibility for a modern generation of internet-ready players. Major brands that have land-based bingo halls are now online, and players can use the chat rooms to socialize with friends, and can even smoke while playing in the comfort of their own homes! The social aspects of online bingo mean that a younger demographic are being drawn to the bingo rooms: not just to play, but to also meet new friends and chat the night away. The average age for online bingo players is 20-49, defying the bingo stereotypes and showing that Bingo, more than ever, is a young person’s game. The 888 Ladies are ladies of all ages playing online bingo!
The Bingo market seems to be attracting a younger, glitzier crowd with endorsements from celebrities such as Denise Van Outen, Catherine Zeta-Jones and even Robbie Williams admitting to being fans of the game, yet again showing that this is a game for all generations (and not just for the girls!)
The success of Online Bingo lies in keeping both the traditional older players interested and attracting more new players, and with advertising aimed at women aged 35-54, many of these are going to be younger than the stereotypical bingo player! Despite the credit crunch, online bingo is still thriving and bingo communities are growing faster than ever. So if you haven’t played bingo before, now is a good time to start with 888 Ladies Bingo! You’ll be in good company- whatever your age!
