Remote Gaming Increase

It was with interest that I read today a news article on EDP24 about a postal worker who stole to play online bingo. The most interesting part about the story, apart from the huge sums of money involved, was some statistics about the remote gaming increase. Now most of us who play online bingo take it for what it is, a bit of fun with like minded people and the chance to, maybe, win a little extra cash.

Most people who enjoy remote gaming whether it's bingo, casino, lottery or sports betting know that this pastime is never likely to bring us life changing amounts of money but can bring us hours of endless fun.

We also know that we should never deposit more than our budget will allow in any form of gambling, remote or otherwise. The news about the post office worker stealing to play online bingo reported that 98% of people who choose to partake in remote gaming do so without a problem. That means that 2% do have a problem and to this end bodies have been created to help anyone who feels they have a problem.

Sites are all supported by online bingo sites and offer help and advice to anyone who feels their remote gaming is becoming a problem.

Further numbers quoted in the article about the post office worker stealing to play online bingo showed that their has been an increase in remote internet bingo gaming since last year. This includes online, telephone and interactive gaming and the increase is 0.9%. In December 2008 it was at 9.7% of 8,000 adults, December 2007 was 8.8% and December 2006 7.2%.

With so many online bingo sites as well as other platforms available to choose from it is no wonder that there has been a remote gaming increase.
