lipstick 14304 Posted November 20, 2012 Bingo Cafe has an interesting list of bingo statistics: It is estimated that the global gross gaming yield of bingo (excluding the U.S.) was half a billion dollars in 2006. Forecasters predict that it will grow to one billion dollars by 2010. It is estimated that the wagering in charitable bingo, which is played in 49 of the 50 United States, is more than $3 billion per year.

It is believed that about 50,000 of the approximately 3 million land-based bingo players have moved to playing bingo online. 90% of these are below the age of 50, which calls into question the notion that bingo is for older people. It is thought that about 85% of online players are women. Even though the online bingo market is growing very fast, only 1% of land-based bingo players have moved on to playing online bingo.

lottowin 25 Posted November 23, 2012 some statistics also say that more than 95% of the people playing online bingo have won at least once. however, i'd like to know how many of them have actually won a BIG JACKPOT... Quote Share this post Link to post
lipstick 14304 Posted November 23, 2012 Good point lottowin! I am sure there is a much higher percentage of average wins mainly because they are much more plentiful overall than big Jackpot games. Progressive Jackpots can be available in the Bingo rooms all the time but they are tough to win considering the number of calls to qualify to hit it. Lips Quote Share this post Link to post
Feelin froggy 8139 Posted November 23, 2012 I've won plenty and never won a progressive bingo jackpot. It's on my bucket list. Quote Share this post Link to post
chillymellow 1513 Posted November 23, 2012 I won some small jackpots, one at Bingo Vega and at least one in the Pack and Line room at Cyberbingo. That room gives it away a couple of times a day, usually before it hits $300. And I've seen the SAME person win the 'jackpot' several times at both sites- either with Vega's $1000 or Cyberbingo's $10,000 event. Starts to make you see RED and not in a good way. Yeah, that's right AZDebbie and The Matrix! I'm talkin' about YOU!!! lol 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
