Bingo is by far one of the most popular games in Great Britain, bringing players of all ages together to raise money for various charities and organizations – and with any luck, pocket some cash for themselves as well. 

Thousands of pounds are awarded to players every week, with some people even winning millions for a mere hours worth of play.

Tales of glory continue to roll in – one of the most recent being that of UK resident Barbara Powell who won £33,000 on her 66th birthday.

The marked rise in live winnings has a lot to do with the marked rise in popularity of online bingo.  Many online bingo operators around the world are reporting substantial increase in profits. One company, NetPlay, has reported growth of 61% from the previous year and market research indicates there is no sign of slowing down.  These findings are encouraging to bingo players in both live and online venues.

So what does this growth spurt mean? More dabber happy bingo enthusiasts and more money up for grabs.
