Online bingo continues to increase in popularity among British females in their 20s, according to recent research.
In fact, when asked about their best leisure activity, women ages 20 to 25 in the U.K. cited bingo more frequently than any other online game, the survey reports.
Similar to how Facebook and Twitter have become a part of a lot of young people's routines, bingo also gives similar amusement and a welcome distraction. Young women are looking into their favourite bingo sites at an increasing rate and playing a game in spare moments of the day, in the evenings and on the weekends. A lot of players are finding bingo a better alternative to a Saturday night at the club, where instead of drinking away their money, they can earn a few pounds online. Others say that bingo is an excellent way to unwind at the end of the long day, and even find it relaxing, meditative and rewarding - both monetarily and socially.
The social aspect of bingo has long been at the core of every game. Traditionally, and still currently, people from all over a given community would gather at the local bingo hall for an evening of chatter and comradery. Similarly, online bingo chat rooms allow players to make small talk as games progress. These chat capabilities function much like other messaging systems found on social networking sites and email services like Google.
But that isn't to say that all players begin as strangers. Friends often organise specific times to sign onto the site together, squeezing in ten minutes or an hour to talk over a tournament. Others who have met online regularly return to scheduled games to catch up with their newly acquainted friends.
With social media incorporated into our everyday interactions and bingo sites offering links and sign-in options through Facebook, the number of twenty-something bingo players is only expected to rise in the U.K. this year, according to experts.
