Since the enforcement of the Gambling Act in the UK traditional bingo halls have suffered enormously from the increase in taxes and the severe restrictions imposed. Another major factor in the decline of the local bingo hall population is the smoking ban which has driven bingo players away by the hordes. Online bingo sites were more than willing and able to step into the breach, and have done so with roaring success. There are a total of 243 registered online bingo websites in the UK catering to an astonishing half a million online bingo players - this is double the amount of players as last year. In the extremely competitive industry of online bingo, the majority of sites are continually working hard to make the online bingo experience a pleasure for bingo fans from all walks of life, and also attract customers that have never played bingo before. For the bingo fan, the advantages of playing online bingo are huge in comparison to the traditional bingo - convenience, attractive bonus offers, exciting bingo promotions and the jackpots run into the millions of pounds. The all important social aspect is heavily emphasised, with chat room functions built in to all the games and a special new language has evoloved as a result: bingo lingo. The online bingo industry, in the UK at least, is definitely booming.
