Within the past 4 or 5 years, the online bingo industry within the UK has seen an exponential rise of people that are playing bingo online. According to the latest trend reports out, there was over £300 million made in profits in the UK alone in the last quarter from over 400,000 players in the UK.
Well, the bingo industry has always had potential. Since for many decades, trips to their nearest bingo hall have been made by many families for something to do. And the newspapers have always had their bingo games running that anyone could play.
When you know and understand this history to bingo gaming, it's only the start to understanding this whole phenomenon. And when you take into consideration the ban on advertising gambling games and how the smoking ban has affected how many people visit bingo halls, you'll know why we are where we are today.
And looking at who the biggest, most popular place to play bingo in the UK today, each have their own stories of success to share. Although some are more well known than others like Tombola who are the most popular bingo site in the UK today.
Tombola piggybacked off of The Sun newspaper for a long time and eventually broke away forming their brand and grew their players much more. That was helped by a good television advertising campaign (who hasn't seen the Tombola ads?).
And with a strong traditional bingo hall background, we have Gala and Mecca Bingo. These popular online bingo sites have grown from strength to strength in the last 5 years. Mainly due to having such a large following and trust among people. That's why we have TheBingoOnline.com site so you can find the best bingo site to play on today.
It's the same thing for those high street bookies that have started getting into providing bingo. And it's been lucrative for them too. Some of the most well-known bookies that have diversified into bingo are William Hill and Ladbrokes who have dedicated bingo machines.
And let's not forget about those other bingo kings that have also become a household name in the last few years like Foxy Bingo, Wink Bingo, Jackpot Joy and Costa Bingo. They started out from nothing and had built up a respectable presence in a short time.
And from the perspective of a bingo player, there are some more interesting trends to note as well. Although the online bingo industry is quite a new one and it's only been within the last 10 years, it's taken off, and there's a lot of them. Most players prefer to be loyal to only one or two.
In reality, (both in the real world and the online one), players now have a lot more choice on where to play bingo to today. Whether it's at home or on the go on their mobile device. Or by visiting their local high street bingo hall. But only half of them prefer to play real money bingo on just one or two sites at most.
What we can see is that the online bingo market is going to continue to grow and get even bigger. That will mainly be due to the many new bingo sites we're seeing starting up every month now. And because of the newer availability and affordability of the mobile technology that people can play bingo on.
But one thing is for sure, the online bingo trend in the UK is going to get bigger as more people come online for the first time and more bingo sites start up. And that's going to equal to a lot of bingo games being played. That should result in more money for the industry which will only make it bigger still!
