There's plenty of anecdotal evidence to suggest that more and more players are turning to online bingo. Now, an official study from the Gambling Commission has provided some hard facts and figures that will surely be of interest to new bingo converts. According to the public body, an average of 10.6 per cent of adults took part in remote gambling in the previous month in 2009. This is up from 9.7 per cent last year and just 8.8 per cent in 2007.

There are plenty of parallels between bingo games and classrooms, according to a light-hearted article from a secondary school teacher. Gill Pyatt works as a maths tutor in Gloucester and also helps out as bingo caller at a local homeless shelter. She noted that both groups are distinctly territorial when it comes to getting the best seats. Moreover, bingo game players act like class prefects by handing out the pens and winners face a boisterous atmosphere reminiscent of the playground.

Christmas is coming and the weather is getting very, very cold. As torrential rain and floods batter the north of England, thoughts will be turning to how people can stay warm this winter. One possibility, on particularly chilly nights, is to forgo a trip to the local bingo club (and all the wrapping up in hats and scarves) in favour of a cosy night in playing bingo online. Why get cold when you can enjoy hot prizes at home?
