Bingo is a game that has been around for decades and has been played in bingo halls all over the world. The migration from players playing bingo in bingo halls to the bingo halls online is going slower than in the case of poker. One of the reasons for this is that the bingo audience is a more mature gambling audience and not used to the internet in the same way as the often more enthusiastic and adventurous youngsters playing poker online who all started playing online creating the poker boom in 2003.
