Rutherglen and Hamilton West MP, Tom Greatrex, might not play bingo online or in the land-based halls, but he has been publically backing the industry for some time. He has been a fast supporter due to his perception that the land based bingo halls have acted as a community centre in his area where people can come together for clean honest fun and socialising.

This is no real surprise and it’s not unreasonable that the public will see more and more political figures in the UK backing the industry. The fresh surge of interest worldwide stems from the emergence of the online bingo phenomenon sweeping much of the globe. Land-based halls have reported an increase of participants at their establishments which analysts credit to the net games, due to the orientation of so many new players.

The social aspect of the game as been well documented since the beginning of the online revolution, and many people are now viewing it as a wholesome source of entertainment, far more acceptable and constructive than many other new ‘fads’ available.

MP Greatrex visited local hall, Mecca, and introduced himself to many of the players there. He came out of the engagement with words that reaffirmed his intention to push for tax reduction for the industry and stated that he had written a letter to the Tory Treasury Minister, Justine Greening regarding just that.

With so many bingo reviews accessible to the online community, and so many bingo bonuses to assist them in signing up, the process of getting started has been made exceptionally straightforward - leading more and more people to play bingo online.
