Ever since bingo first gained momentum as a community game back in the 1930’s, it’s always been one that is popular with women from all walks of life. But now that the majority of people who play bingo do so online, there are even more reasons why bingo makes such a perfect gaming choice for busy moms.
It’s so convenient
Moms don’t have time to hang out in the bingo hall, that’s why the land-based bingo halls have always had a much older demographic base. But playing online bingo is a different story. You can catch a quick game at any time thanks to the 24-hour playing schedules that most sites run. With sites also offering mobile bingo, it’s something that you can do on the move, too, wherever you may be. And the other convenient aspect of online bingo is that it’s such a simple game to play. You don’t need to learn any rules or familiarize yourself with the game – you just decide which game you’re interested in and buy a ticket or two. Then, all you need to do is sit back and watch what happens.
Bingo works out to be great value
Bingo online or off is a real-money game, but the online games only cost relative buttons to play. And when you join a bingo site such as 32red, Gala or 123 Bingo, you can take advantage of welcome bonuses so that you’re actually playing for even smaller stakes than you normally would for another real-money game. Added to that nearly every bingo site offers an amount of free credit to new players when they first put money into their accounts.
At 32red, there’s also a whole page of different promotions that players can benefit from at any time. One such example is the Monthly MegaPot, where you can enter free games in the Friendship, Harmony or Speed rooms. Another promo is the re-deposit bonus – with an extra 25% top-up added to your account each time you make a second and subsequent deposit. The important thing to remember with any online gaming budget is to decide a maximum monthly spend and to stick to it, no matter what kind of luck you experience. That way, you’re never in danger of overspending on what is meant to be purely an entertaining activity.
Bingo provides you with company whenever you want it
Have a chat while you play
It’s sometimes lonely being a mom to young children. Sure, you’ll have playgroups and get-togethers that you meet other parents at, but it’s not always that easy to get out, especially if you have to work around nap times for your children and sometimes staying home is what you do for a large chunk of the day.
With a bingo site, you don’t have to go out to find company – it can come to you via the bingo chat rooms. Players can keep an eye on how their bingo cards are doing while having a gossip with other players of the same games. As well as talking about whatever you have on your mind at the time, you get a sense of sharing the game as whoever you’re talking to is involved in it too. Even if you don’t win, it can be fun seeing one of your chatting buddies celebrating – and the next game, it could be you getting the virtual slaps on the back, you never know. One thing to bear in mind whenever you’re chatting, is that you’re not just having a conversation with one other player – there are lots of other people online. So, don’t divulge anything you would mind being seen in the public arena. And if you do form a bond with a particular player and want to have a one-to-one chat, there’s often the option of private messaging on the same site instead.
Variety all in one place
Most busy moms don’t have that much spare time to themselves – it’s that little luxury we all crave more of! So when you do have a few minutes free in which to play games, you don’t want the hassle of deciding where or what to play. Signing up will give you access to bingo games that are scheduled around the clock, but if you feel like playing something different, there’s also a choice of different casino games on the site. Whatever you want to play – bingo, roulette, blackjack or poker – you can be playing within seconds of logging in.
Of course, for most moms the times to play anything will be few and far between in their normal daily routine. But for those moments when you just want a bit of fun for a short while, a game or two of online bingo can really hit the spot!
I don’t know, what this sounds like is a huge time suck, not to mention money suck. I’m actually a bit astounded that you would shill for something like this. This is such a lovely site full of charming suggestions and ideas. I don’t think this belongs here.
Hi Margot…some people enjoy bingo, online gaming, etc. I personally don’t so that is why you don’t typically see this on our site. With that said, there are people who do enjoy it, so an occasional post on it is for those people. We try to be well-balanced and to cater to different tastes and likes here. We try to include all different people and their likes. I hope that makes sense.
