Male Bingo Players On The Increase

While bingo players have nearly always consisted of more women than men, lately there has been an increase of male players as more sites begin to target a broader audience. Gone are the overly pink and girly sites that cater to the female masses; in their place are sites that have a toned down neutral look, with darker greys, blacks, whites and purples rather than the pastel pinks seen before.

Bingo offers are also being updated to include male players, with prizes such as cameras, digital accessories and online store vouchers cropping up alongside the previously popular prizes along the likes of spa vouchers and kitchenware.

There has also been a spate of male bingo jackpot winners lately, showing yet again that male players are on the increase. A winner at a leading bingo site, Nick C, had this to say about his win: “I honestly could not believe it. I went into the chat room and asked if I’d just won the jackpot, and everyone was congratulating me, but it still didn’t sink in.

My wife was walking around with tears in her eyes and her bottom lip trembling, she phoned our 2 daughters in a daze. Even they were shocked and stunned.” As more male players play bingo, the audience demographics begin to shift to a broader focus it seems.
