Ten years ago, nobody had heard of such a thing as online bingo. If you wanted to play bingo, you’d have to find a game in a local bingo hall. Then you’d have to match their timetable, and make it to the game at a scheduled time. Of course, this usually involved driving and parking.

Yes, before the advent of online bingo, playing bingo could be a real hassle! Often the bingo hall would be crowded and noisy. In many bingo halls, smoking was common, causing a great deal of discomfort to non-smokers. (And on the other hand, non-smoking bingo halls were uncomfortable for smokers, who couldn’t enjoy a cigarette while playing.)

Other conveniences were lacking too. Before online bingo, in the days of old fashioned bingo halls, it was hard to find anything decent to eat while playing. You were stuck with a small selection of junk food; rarely was anything hot or healthy available. With online bingo, of course, it’s totally different. You’re playing from the comfort of your own home – with easy access to real food.

The bathroom situation? Well, let’s not go there. Let’s just say that with online bingo, there’s never any waiting and never any disgusting messes to deal with.

With all these advantages over regular bingo – and many, many others – it comes as no surprise that online bingo has grown so much over the past ten years, and especially over the last five. There are now millions of people, all over the world, playing online bingo regularly. And the game continues to grow fast.

We predict that online bingo’s phenomenal growth will continue to accelerate. Within three years, the number of people enjoying online bingo will likely double yet again. And in ten years? Twenty years? It’s impossible to say. Certainly, nobody would have predicted that online bingo would have caught on the way it has. But this much is for certain: online bingo will continue to grow in popularity.
