A survey has been carried out by the new online bingo site, 888 Ladies Bingo, and according to their research results, the city of Leeds is seeing an online bingo explosion.

It has been reported that instead of going out on Saturday shopping trips, lots of ladies in the Leeds area are now opting to stay at home and play online bingo instead, in search of that big bingo win from the comfort of their own home.

Long gone is the stigma of the little of old lady sitting in a bingo hall, hunched over her bingo card, marking the numbers of, lots more people from around the world from all genders, ages and cultures now enjoy a game of bingo. This is largely due to online bingo and new technology that brings bingo in the homes of millions of bingo players 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Online bingo is a place where the bingo doors, just never close and players are able to find a game of bingo to play whenever it suits them and not the other way round as it always used to be when playing bingo in a land based bingo club.

The survey that was carried out by 888 Ladies Bingo also found that many ladies from Leeds were logging on their computers for a game of online bingo rather than going to the gym, 22% of Ladies confessed to this, while 12% also confessed they would play online bingo more each week than they have sex. Now that was an interesting statistic to read!

The vice president of brand marketing from 888 Ladies, Matt Robinson, had this to say about the online bingo explosion in Leeds "The stereotype of the traditional OAP bingo player is truly dated. Today's online players are independent, professional women who enjoy all the fun of the game but on their terms. With today's sites you are as likely to find gaggles of girls getting together for a natter in a bingo chat room as you are down at a Leeds wine bar."

Online bingo provides players with many various chat rooms to frequent and here, they are able to chat to their friends for free, no matter where they are in the UK or most of the world come to that. We have already seen this week, how Mirror Bingo online is an aid for a grandmother to keep in touch with her large family. If the results from the survey from 888 Ladies Bingo are anything to go by, then lots of ladies from Leeds have certainly been bitten by the online bingo bug!
