The simple answer to this is YES! People still play bingo in large numbers. It is estimated there are around 3 million bingo players just in the UK. The top three regions in the world that play online bingo are the US, the UK, and Japan. For women in the UK in their mid-twenties, bingo represents the most popular entertainment activity. 90% of online bingo players are below 50 years of age.

However, it is much harder to give numbers of bingo players worldwide. Many bingo games being played around the world right now are private games, or simply just not recorded. Because of this there is no way to get an accurate measure of the numbers involved.

But the numbers of people who still play bingo are sure to be huge. If you look at the amount of revenue the online bingo sites are making you can see the massive popularity the game still has. The revenue online gaming companies are making, gives a clearer picture of what is currently happening in the bingo world.

Party Gaming, a large corporate online gaming business, made a statement in 2011 regarding their online bingo revenue. They stated that their revenue had increased from £22.8 million up to an amazing £51.8 million. With the current economic problems portrayed in the media and the press analysts predicting a fall in the popularity of online gambling, the trends and popularity of the game show no signs of a decline.

Even TV shows are actually being sponsored by online bingo sites, another piece of strong evidence to suggest more and more people are using and playing bingo online. Both young and old people still play bingo and the trend seems set to grow.

When it comes to bingo turnover this year, it certainly seems now that online bingo has never been so popular, bingo is here to stay!
