When I think of an online bingo player I think of an 85 year old woman sitting behind her commodore 64 smoking a pack of winstons.........oh yea with an oxygen bottle next to her also. :huh:

Bingo just doesn't seem very hip and if you look at the demographics I just don't see how it could be "the next big thing". Speaking of demographics, here's the way I see it regarding our audiences.

Online Poker - Any person between the ages of 18 - 100. Especially college kids who think they can beat the game after playing for 6 months. And even better the people who genuinely do play full-time, regardless if their a winning player or not. Poker is so trendy right now that it is "cool" to play. Plus unlike bingo, casino, and sports betting there is a social aspect that makes it just like a chat room for some. Poker has exploded so much in the past year that literaly everyone is playing.

Sportsbook Players - Generally the same as above but mostly males, a good percentage are between 18-30. Most sports betters are action junkies and the type of poker players that if not experienced in the game will be your maniacs........hence why some people swear by Bodog. Likewise you get a few degenerates of all ages that bet way too much on sports. You can make a killing promoting sportsbooks but there is also a much greater risk factor if your based in the U.S.

Online Casino Players - With the exception of blackjack..............probably mostly degenerates :P I really want to say I'm kidding but I'm not sure if I am :huh: What type of person really plays slots and roulette online. Nonetheless it's a booming industry.

Bingo Players - Probably mostly old folks in nursing homes that have a broadband connection in the community room.


I suppose if you can rank really well in the SE's for bingo terms or if you have a killer bingo niche site you would do well. I'm just not seeing bingo as "the next big thing". Maybe some of you guys that promote bingo or online casinos can chime in.
