Survey Reveals Online Bingo Impacts Social Lives

Virgin Bingo, part of the leading online gaming group of Virgin Games, has released the findings of a survey of its players that looks at how bingo online affects their social life and their friendships.

The survey was conducted between 647 players and showed that 44% of their members had made real friendships via Virgin Bingo, with 18% actually meeting face to fac.  22% of the respondents share personal problems and family issues with their online bingo roomies, with 34% believing that playing online bingo games had improved their social life.  Fascinatingly, 69% of players said that playing online bingo had replaced going to land based bingo halls.

“When we put out this survey we really had no idea what to expect.  We are genuinely thrilled that our customers get more than a bit of fun out of playing at Virgin Bingo – it seems a number of them have truly enriched their social lives through new friendships – and in one case a wedding! There is a lot of focus on the negative impact of online gaming, I think this demonstrates for a lot of people it provides a point of common interest and can bring something to people’s lives.

“That 69% said they now use online bingo over bingo halls is interesting to see.  People love the ease and availability of playing online.  Going to bingo halls is associated with having a few drinks and perhaps smoking – then there’s the added cost of transport to get you there.  With the ever rising cost of alcohol and transport, coupled with the smoking ban, people are choosing the more affordable option of playing bingo at home and providing their own refreshments” said Alan Thomas, Head of CRM.

During the survey, one respondent said: “Since I became completely dependent on family for outdoor transport (plus my husband needs 24 hour care he has Alzheimer’s disease) my life has taken on new meaning through my bingo friends.  If I need to talk, whatever time of day or night, there is always someone there either online, Facebook or phone so I am in contact 24/7.   Even with family close by they find it difficult to provide the conversation I need, and there is no communication with my husband – so my bingo friends provide that link.  I could not survive if I couldn’t have a moan and a groan and of course the laughs. Then of course there is bingo itself – I used to go to landline clubs several times a week – now I log on and play whenever I want with the chance of winning some serious money (which I have a couple of times I’m pleased to say).”

Virgin Bingo, is part of the Virtue fusion network and has over a couple of hundred games on its site, with new ones added every week. New players and seasonal players can find the games they like and are rewarded for their play via Virgin Bingo’s amazing loyalty program.
