Bingo players are now younger than ever, a survey claims

Up until several years ago, the world of bingo was associated with blue rinse grandmas and ladies of a certain age. But now, more and more young people are taking part in bingo games, both at bingo halls, and online bingo sites.

According to a recent survey, around 40% of new players to online bingo sites are beneath the age of 30. One area that has particularly opened up the world of Internet bingo to younger players is that of social networks, such as Facebook.

Online bingo sites give players the opportunity to not only potentially win cash and glamorous prizes; the chat rooms are an excellent meeting place for friends, family and even potential partners. One downside of the increase in free Internet bingo sites is the downturn of players actually visiting bingo halls in the real world. It is estimated that around two bingo clubs per week are closing down, with player numbers becoming too low to support many venues.

Two excellent free bingo sites are Gina Bingo, and Ritzy Bingo. Both of these sites offer a superb variety of 30, 75, 80 and 90 ball bingo, plus they both offer a £10 no deposit bonus upon registration. Of course, these two sites welcome players of all ages, and are excellent starting grounds for new players, due to the friendly chat hosts and well mannered roomies.
