Cold weather helps online bingo

The recent cold and snowy winter weather in the UK has seen the online bingo industry experience a boom in business due to a sharp rise in the number of players choosing to stay in and enjoy a game of bingo.

According to a report from online bingo information portal OnlineBingoClub.co.uk, the New Year’s cold snap across Great Britain has also coincided with the regular post-Christmas economy drive to keep many more players at home.

“Bingo players know they can still enjoy their favourite game in the comfort of their own homes without having to brave freezing cold temperatures and hazardous icy roads,” said Rob Hutchison, founder of OnlineBingoClub.co.uk.

“Who wants to scrape the ice off the windscreen when they can sit down in front of a personal computer and play for big money at home? It makes perfect sense.

“At this time of year, many of us are spent up and bingo players know if they play at home they’ll spend a lot less than they would down their local bingo hall.

“With bingo websites now offering large cash prizes, there really is no need for anyone to bother heading out into the snow. More and more people are realising they can have more fun at home, spend less and have the chance to win more.

“Ever since the snow came down before Christmas, our numbers are up and in the past few days it’s been crazy. There is definitely a direct correlation between snowfall and online bingo activity.”
