The Daily Mirror’s online bingo site is an aid in helping one of their players, “Joyce Spencer” to stay in touch with her family across the UK. Joyce is a 77 year old widow and she believes that it is thanks to the Mirror Bingo that she can now keep in regular contact with her large family.

Joyce says the Mirror Bingo has helped to bring her family back together again for chats and fun in the many online chat rooms that bingo players enjoy and have use of when playing at Mirror Bingo online.

Joyce has six children, 16 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren, and she suffers from arthritis, which has made it very difficult for her to go out to a land based bingo hall, so for her last birthday her family all got together and bought Joyce a brand new Laptop. This has been of great help to Joyce and since she found the Mirror Bingo’s online bingo site she has never looked back and can now play bingo whenever she wants’ to from the comfort of her own home 24/7.

When Joyce is playing bingo online at Mirror Bingo, her relatives also go online at their site too, so she can now have a natter and catch up with them every day, without it costing her money for lengthy phone calls, etc and Joyce as even said “the kids think she is really cool, and the oldest person on the internet that they know.

This is a quote from Joyce Spencer: "If I telephoned them all for a chat it would cost me a small fortune. This way I know that if they have got time to play bingo, they have got time to chat to their old nan. It is such a friendly atmosphere, I just love it”.

One of Joyce’s granddaughters, 29 year old Emma, often now chats to her Nan every day at Mirror Bingo online, in the chat rooms that are provided there. Emma is also a mum of two children and a nursery nurse and this is what she had to say about how Mirror Bingo are a great benefit to her and her grandmother Joyce: "She's in Nottingham and I'm 50 miles away in Worksop. Even my Beth, who's four, loves chatting to Nanny Joyce online. She puts lots of smiley faces on her messages."

It seems that playing bingo online can provide players with so much more than just having a flutter on bingo. It can be a gateway for players to chat to other people from around the UK or even the world, where they can make new friends, or like Joyce, keep in touch with her family, as well as having lots of fun along the way.
