Over the past few years there has been a huge increase in the online gaming scene, with the likes of online poker and online bingo being the most popular. Online Bingo has seen a major resurgence recently and this has all but changed the pre-existing stereotypes of the bingo player.

When many people think of bingo players, they imagine little old ladies in a hall with lots of cards and a dabbing pen, but the internet has changed this misconception. With the internet now more accessible than ever and with numerous online bingo sites, there are thought to be over 100 million online bingo players worldwide. Although still dominated by women, online bingo also attracts men with a staggering 30% of online players being male.

The age of bingo players has also dramatically changed since the introduction of online bingo sites, with the vast majority of players being under 50 and a quarter of them between 18 and 30 years old.

Online bingo is one of the simplest and user friendly games on the internet and there is also the added bonus of winning money if your numbers come out. The game is expected to grow even bigger, with the internet becoming cheaper and faster and is likely to find a home with not just the older generation, but with the younger generations as well.
