By Simon Jones on Thursday, 3 Aug 2006 As online bingo becomes ever-more popular in the UK and Canada, internet marketing firm VKI Studios has argued the case for legalising it in the US.
"Online bingo is not just a craze, it is a worldwide phenomenon," VKI said, adding that all kinds of people from all walks of life - from lawyers to chefs and office workers - enjoy the fun that online bingo provides.
Gambling can sometimes be harmful but VKI notes that "most people play within their limits and view online bingo as a harmless and enjoyable way to have fun".
Apart from the bingo games themselves, online bingo offers players a sense of community and embraces the traditional sector of people who enjoy playing bingo at bingo clubs.
VKI also points to the safety of the gaming medium, saying that "the strict control and meticulous monitoring of gaming sites is something which online bingo proprietors proudly maintain".
