By Simon Jones on Wednesday, 16 Aug 2006 While online poker has a more visible advertising presence, the booming popularity of online bingo continues unabated.
Although many traditional bingo halls retain large numbers of punters, more and more people are waking up to the fact that online bingo provides a convenient web-based option.
"Being able to play 24 hours a day, anywhere in the world and in the comfort of your chosen location are just three of the many reasons that have helped create the burgeoning world of online bingo," according to internet marketing firm VKI Studios.
The company also notes that the "community spirit and friendly atmosphere" is another big draw for players. As well as being quick and convenient, it also provides the opportunity to make new friends.
Scotland's smoking ban has also caused many Scots to move away from traditional bingo halls and towards online sites, which they can enjoy in their living room, where they are free to light up.
From smaller sites with lots of character, such as Moon Bingo, to the larger and more established brands such as Ladbrokes Bingo and Mecca Bingo, the online community draws people from all walks of life.
