We are a nation of Bingo Lovers. It was invented here and we have Bingo Halls all over the country that still attract swathes of us every week to see what we can win, to socialise and to have a laugh. Beyond that Bingo is still an important part of local communities, with schools, pubs and churches having regular Bingo Fundraisers. And now you can play online bingo. Oh yes, online bingo is HUGE, fast becoming one of Britain’s most popular online pastimes. It is a great way of putting a little excitement into an otherwise mundane day. Anyway, when it’s raining you don’t want to trudge down to the Bingo Hall do you?

Playing bingo online is an exciting way to win money in the comfort of your own home. Most bingo sites have a cash match offer of £250. This means that the gaming site will double your first deposit up to the value of £250 so if you deposit £10 you can get £10 free and if deposit £250, you get £250 absolutely free. And on top of that you ca also qualify for cash bonuses just for registering an account. That is pretty good isn’t it?

There is an amazing surge of adrenaline playing online bingo, if you have never done it; it really is an exciting experience. Lots of people who have a casual interest in bingo, but for one reason or another can’t or won’t go to a bingo hall, get a lot of satisfaction from playing bingo online. Especially when they win money online!

If you’re up for a laugh, looking for a bit of harmless escapism and the chance to win money online, then online bingo is definitely the game for you. It is frivolous, fun and exciting and some sites even have great little features like live chat so you can still socialise with the other players… Maybe even meet someone special!

People who play Bingo do so for a bit of fun, for escapism and for the chance to hit the jackpot. That’s exactly why online bingo has been such a success, even though it is in an online format it is about s close as you can get to the real thing – from the comfort of your own home.By: Niel Baskin

A smoking ban in the UK in all enclosed public places will take effect from the beginning of 2007, with a complete ban in licensed areas by the end of 2008. So how will this White Paper affect the numbers attending bingo halls in the UK long-term, where a substantial percentage of players smoke

The White Paper on Public Health plans (released in February 2006 and can bee seen here www.publications.parliament.uk) suggests that most enclosed public areas, including offices and factories, will become smoke free. Only private clubs, where MPs voted to allow smoking, and pubs which do not serve prepared food would be exempt.

Estimates show that up to 70% of bingo players in Scotland smoke, and bosses are suggesting that most players are turning up later and leaving earlier in order to light up a cigarette, reducing the session times and the average expenditure. While pub owners claim the ban has had little effect, both Mecca Bingo and Carlton say that the ban has hit the industry hard. Early indications show that the ban has led to a definite fall in customers. However numbers attending bingo halls has been steadily declining in the UK since 2000 with only 2.8% of adults attending in 2004.

It has been estimated that up to one third of the UK’s bingo halls will close due to the ban. This would mean a massive loss to the industry and the
