Online Bingo | My Bingo Blog

A recent study, done by an Online Bingo Portal who offers resources for UK bingo players, delved into the state and size of the UK online bingo industry. The study revealed some interesting information for the online bingo industry in the UK. The study confirmed what those who know in the online bingo industry has speculated about in the last few years: UK Online Bingo is a very profitable industry.

Research done by the study indicates that bingo players in the UK spend more than 600 million on bingo cards yearly. From the 600 million revenue made yearly, the online bingo industry earned a gob smacking amount ranging in the vicinity of 120 000 million.

From this, it is safe to assume that there must be a huge amount of British people playing online bingo. The United Kingdoms Gambling Commission estimates that there are more or less 500 000 British bingo players who makes use and play on online bingo websites. This is definitely possible, as growth of online bingo websites from 2004 till now has increased by more than 200 (the last four years).

Those online bingo websites that were deemed the most popular seem to be using the same types of winning strategies. According to the research done, these market leaders were making use of constant marketing messages and long-term promotions.

The outcome of the study will definitely give those in the industry a motivational boost.

The lively atmosphere, fun chat rooms and friendly people aren’t the only reasons why people play Online Bingo. Of course, the Bingo winnings and Bingo Jackpots play an important role. Bingo Gringo is the perfect place to enjoy everything that Online Bingo has to offer!

Many a player will ask regulars the age-old question: are there any methods that online bingo players can incorporate into their game strategy in order to improve the chance at a Bingo win? We here at Bingo Gringo figured we should maybe mention one or two strategies that we have acquired over the years.

So read carefully and make some mental notes you never know when they may come in handy!

Some people might say you can only rely on good old-fashioned LUCK and chance, but others believe there are certain strategies and skills involved in winning bingo games.

We here at Bingo Gringo have surfed the Internet, spoke to our Bingo buddies in the chat rooms, and came up with a handful of tips that could just increase your chances of winning next time you decide to play your favorite online bingo game!

1. The more players there are, the more difficult to win. Try to play when there are less people playing Bingo.

2. If there are only a handful of players, try to buy more cards than there are players. You will see- your chances of winning will improve!

3. Use chat rooms to your advantage! Ask the other players if they have any tips to win, or go more underground and find out how many cards the other players are using. If you buy more tickets than the others have- you stand a better chance than the rest.

4. Choose the website where you go to play Bingo carefully. Select a site where the number of players is balanced. Over-crowded sites decrease your chances of winning.

5. If possible, play early or late, as the bingo sites will be quieter. While the prizes may be smaller, your chance at success is higher. Rather win less than not win at all!

6. Play at sites that offer incentives such as free cash on your initial deposited amount, bonuses on deposits and affordable bingo cards. Remember the money you save you can use to play Bingo games more often!

We hope that these tips will help you win Bingo big! But remember, overall you need Lady Luck on your side! So squeeze your lucky clover and smile as the Bingo Jackpots roll in!

A recent survey on the ‘luckiest cities in Britain’ compared numbers of winners in the gambling and lottery industries to find out where Lady Luck spends most of her time.
It turns out that the answer is Aberdeen! Number crunching showed that an impressive 
47 per cent of residents have won £10 on the national lottery 10 times, and that one in 10 has won a mind-blowing £2,000 or more.

One fourth of Aberdeen’s locals claim to have won over £300 at various card games. Online gambling also featured in the survey - 16 per cent are reported to win cash on a regular basis with online bingo, poker, roulette and other Internet-based gambling sites.

10% of Aberdonians claim to have a lucky ‘dabber’ (fat felt-tip pen) for playing Bingo, showing that sometimes luck needs a hand. In Chelmsford, second on the ‘lucky list’, two thirds of the residents have a lucky number that they rely on regularly.

Also high up on the list of UK’s luckiest cities were Sheffield, Newcastle, Plymouth and Manchester. Glasgow squeezed in at number 10, showing that the Scotts top and tail the Top 10 list.
So what happened to the famous luck of the Irish? With Belfast featuring at number 3 of the UN-luckiest it seems to be taking a knock.

Birmingham came in at the unenviable position of number one on that unlucky list. A sad 30% of Brummies have never one a penny on the national lottery and an honest quarter confess that they in fact loose money at card games on a regular basis.

With more and more people playing games such as bingo online, and with whopping jackpots such as Bingo Gringo’s weekly £10 000 and £1 Million coverall jackpots on offer, more and more people have the opportunity to play and win, wherever they live!
Here are the final results of the survey.

The game of BINGO has come a long way through the years.

While details of its origins are rather hazy, some attribute them to an Italian lottery called Lo Giuocco del Lotto d’Italia. From there it is said to have moved to America, where it underwent a certain amount of metamorphosis.

Traditionally, bingo is an interpersonal game where people gather at a local bingo hall, usually situated in a central location. It has always created an ideal environment for social interaction and relationship building with other people from the neighbourhood.

With the advent of online bingo the face of the game has been dramatically altered. No longer a ‘physical’ game, online bingo is more of a mental exercise played and experienced in the mind. There is no physical traveling to a venue, no paying out of bank notes and no hand-held cards filled in manually. Online, everything is done for you including filling in your bingo cards, and the money is handled electronically.

Some people reject online bingo as impersonal. Because the audience and hall is substituted by sound and graphics, people assume that there is no room for socializing. However, interpersonal interaction, while not face-to-face as with traditional bingo, is still an integral part of the game of Bingo. Chat rooms are full, 24 / 7, with players from around the world connecting. This makes your circle of bingo friends potentially enormous. Meeting with people from across the globe can also broaden your horizons, and you are no longer limited with the same handful of locals as you would have been in the local bingo hall. 

The other thing which hasn’t changed is the opportunity to win cash. But with online bingo you are often in line to win far larger jackpots than you were at the church hall on a Thursday night. Also, many online bingo sites also offer promotions with fantastic prizes – from cruises to state of the art household appliances.

The evolution of bingo from traditional to online has also added convenience and is great for individuals who are unable to leave home for health or location and safety problems. The elderly woman who is afraid to walk home from the bingo hall after dark, and the middle-aged man in a wheelchair who misses meeting his buddies and has hours of time to fill can both have fun, win money and meet people at online bingo sites.

Another facet of online bingo is the incorporation of instant games as well as numerous opportunities to win money. Free bingo games are also an advantage to the old bingo hall system, where you had to pay an entrance fee for every bingo game.

Many people still enjoy the traditional way of playing bingo, especially the fact that they have met and connected with their friends already and they find the pace of the game more adaptable. However, online bingo’s popularity and success show that it is here to stay and may even replace traditional bingo one day.

Online bingo is a form of lottery playing. The user has to register, pay a certain cash deposit and he/she can easily start playing. There are many bingo sites which provides a variety for the player. There are daily cash prizes, according to the certain bingo games, and big bingo jackpots that players immediately qualify for. These jackpots are daily jackpots and is the accumulation of all the bingo players’ cash deposits.

1. Never forget that bingo is a game of chance. This is a cardinal rule that most of the time the assumption that the more cards you buy, the more chances of winning you have. The advantage of this latter option is that you help increase the value of the prize which depends on the revenue of the online hall. We also suggest you to choose the halls that sell cards for 25 cents, or more, as these halls have larger cash prizes.

Bingo started way back in bingo halls when only housewives and elderly women were playing a few nights a week. Now it’s expanded to the Internet where bingo is available 24/7. What does the future hold for online bingo?

Before online bingo, there were traditional bingo halls set up around towns and cities, where players would go and play. They were usually churches and town halls as the first official bingo game happened at a Pennsylvanian church. Players pay an entrance fee and at the beginning of the night, all the members’ fees are added together and the winner/s will receive that package at the end of the night. There are usually tournaments and competitions at the bingo halls. The convenience of traditional halls was that they were around the corner for bingo players. Then there was the advantage of interacting with people from around your neighborhood.
