Online Bingo Has Poker In Its Sights

online bingo is looking likely to succeed online poker as the most played gambling game online. But not right now. Having read a few articles online about the rise of ‘online bingo’ against ‘online poker’ and the claims I went out and did my own research to see just how close the gap was for online bingo. My findings have shown that there is a dramatic increase in people looking to play bingo online. It is hardly surprising really, when you consider the advertising that many of the big sites have rolled out this past year and when you also throw in the fun factor of playing bingo online as well it all adds up.

The margin between online bingo and online poker has decreased each year and if this trend continues then it will come as no surprise that bingo may outstrip poker in the next few years if the growth contines at its current rate.

The following charts, taken from Google Trends, show the level of searches made online and also the number of times either UK bingo or poker makes it into the news channels, an important factor for measuring the popularity of a topic.
