Who plays bingo online? What type of people play bingo online and where are they? Does it ever make you wonder where your fellow bingo players are sitting as they compete against you in bingo games hosted online? We here at Bingo-Sites.com decided to dig a little deeper and find out just who really does play bingo online.

When you say the word ‘bingo’ the first thought to enter many people’s heads is elderly people playing bingo games for nickels in a church or at a veteran’s base. This is an old image of a game which, even though provided the roots of internet bingo, is now no more than a distant relative. Bingo online is a completely different animal altogether. Bingo online is fun and exciting where, instead of competing against a hundred or so players you can compete against the entire world from the comfort of your own home.

So how does this new world of bingo online affect the demographic stats of the players? The US is the single biggest bingo online marketplace ahead of Japan and the UK. 90% of bingo players online are under the age of 50 which is massively more than the land-based bingo equivalent. 85% of internet bingo players are women, explaining why so many bingo promotions and offers are aimed at women. According to a recent survey in the UK the bingo online age demographics are as follows: 18-25 = 11.5%, 26-35 = 23.5%, 36-45 = 28.8%, 46-55 = 24.1%, 56-65 = 9.8%, 66+ = 2.3%.

In its relatively short history bingo online has already claimed a core marketplace, especially for women aged between 25 and 55 but don’t feel left out if you don’t fit into that particular slot as bingo sites are always coming up with new and inventive ways to encourage new players from various walks of life to play with them.
