Recent survey concludes staying in to play is cheaper

If you are a lover of bingo, then chances are you love playing both online and in the real world as well. However, it has been discovered that playing online bingo is actually a far cheaper than heading out to a local bingo hall and playing there.

In these current economic times, players are feeling the pinch and preferring to stay in and get an online bingo fix. A recent study concluded that the average cost of going out to a bingo hall, including bus fair, food and drink totalled around £20, whereas the same evening of enjoyment could be played online for a little over £2.

This is good news for cost-conscious players, who should certainly consider playing at Ritzy and Gina Bingo. Both of these sites offer 30, 75, 80 and 90 ball bingo and have an exceptionally generous signup bonus. Players registering at both of these sites can take advantage of a £10 deposit bonus plus a 350% deposit match.

With free games and penny games on offer, huge jackpots and of course, sociable chat rooms where players can get their dose of social interaction, both of these sites make an excellent alternative to venturing out and spending cash.

It must be said though that many bingo halls are struggling — it would be a shame to see these historic venues shut down. So why not do both? Support your local hall but don't forget to play online should the mood takes you. That way you can have the best of both worlds.
