Bingo used to be one of the games we played as kids in our home, with the loser treating the winners to pizza or ice cream. The first time I played Bingo with real prizes was last year, when I was given complimentary tickets to a Bingo social. I had never found Bingo as exciting as when I played that game. I have yet to try online Bingo, but perhaps, if I have the time, I will.

I myself am UK based and I have played online bingo now for a few years. I would defiantly recommend the game. People think that it costs you loads and than you get addicted, but this is not the case with gambling. You waste very little and have fun at the same time.
