The evolution of online bingo from birth to phenomenal growth

The origins of bingo can be traced back to the mid-16th century. The French, who had a passion for ‘Le Lotto’ played this version of the game which closely relates to today’s bingo game.

Traditional bingo has being enjoyed as great pastime worldwide. It has provided a platform for family members, friends and strangers to meet in a relaxed atmosphere. More than 60 million people have been attracted to this game across the globe.

Online bingo, called so because it is played on the Internet, has evolved into a very popular game over the past few years. It was a relatively minor industry, before the year 2000. Over the past eight years there has been an unparalleled surge in the popularity of online bingo. The phenomenal spread of the Internet all over the world has been the major contributor to the game’s online proliferation on such a big scale.

Does playing bingo online provide the same level of satisfaction with friends and family as in a traditional bingo hall? The answer is yes. It can provide much higher level of satisfaction because online bingo enables you not only to play with friends and family; it allows you to make thousands of friends all over the globe. This was confirmed in a survey conducted by a famous online bingo portal.

People are moving away from traditional halls to online bingo because of convenience, the greater opportunity it provides for socialising and the flexibility to play any time of the day or night whenever you have time for fun. It is therefore not surprising that online bingo is one of the most popular games of today.
