Here in the UK, bingo is the only form of gambling that is more popular with women than it is with men. Recent statistics have shown that online bingo players are made up of 85% women and just 15% men. However, the assumption that playing bingo is relegated to the older generation is recently proving untrue, with more and more players signing up to play bingo online in the younger demographic of 18-25.

You might think that these statistics apply across the globe, but not in Spain! In Spain, there are a significantly larger number of men playing bingo online than women! Yes, your typical Spanish male might well be into a bit of bingo!

In Spain, the online bingo boom is just beginning. The success seen in online bingo in the UK has been recognised in Spain and a flurry of online bingo sites in Spain are likely to be hitting the web very soon. If more Spanish men are playing bingo online, perhaps there will be a new, more macho image for online bingo! As Spanish is the third most commonly spoken language in the world, perhaps we’ll see more and more men getting involved!

Here at UK bingo news we’ve had a thought: playing online bingo in Spain could be a way for insomniacs to avoid twiddling their thumbs whilst other people have a kip during siesta time! Bingo has always been a sociable event with many comparing the atmosphere to one you might experience at a party, or as the Spanish would say – a fiesta! Getting out of the heat in Spain no longer has to mean a siesta, now it can be a fiesta!
