The State of Bingo in the UK: Statistics on the Current State of the Game and Predictions for the Future – Leanbackplayer.com
Leanbackplayer announces the release of their report, UK Bingo Industry Review, 2021: https://www.leanbackplayer.com/bingo-revenue-uk/
Online gambling has grown significantly due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and one of the biggest areas of growth has been the online bingo industry. While many wrote the game off as a dinosaur in the past few decades, recent growth has shown that bingo is not only surviving, but it’s poised for potentially massive growth in the years to come.
In the short report below, we’ll take a brief look at the current state of the bingo industry in the UK, as well as reveal what current trends indicate for the game’s growth in the years to come.
A £910 Million-Per-Year Industry
From April 2019 to May 2020, bingo parlors — both online and in brick-and-mortar establishments — generated a GGY of £910 million in the UK. The bulk of that (£635.9 million) was driven by live bingo, but trends indicate that online bingo may be catching up.
The amount of money wagered on bingo at online casinos was up 0.9% over the above time period, while the amount of money wagered in brick-and-mortar casinos fell by 5.7%.
What’s Driving the Popularity of Online Bingo?
Clearly, one of the biggest factors in the above numbers is the COVID-19 pandemic. Many players preferred to stay home and socially isolate rather than risk exposure to a potentially-deadly virus. If these players still wanted to gamble on bingo, the availability of online casinos offered them an easy avenue to do so.
There’s more to it than just the pandemic, however. Facebook and similar websites have popularized free bingo games that are much more entertaining and complex than the traditional form of the game that most players are used to. Anyone who has spent hours playing the free versions of these games will naturally be attracted to the prospect of winning money while having fun.
While the availability of free and entertaining games has made bingo attractive to novice gamblers, it also happens to be one of the few forms of gambling that’s more popular with women than men. It’s particularly widespread among women in lower socioeconomic groups, as those women tend to be attracted to the relative ease of gameplay and the sizable jackpots offered by the game.
The Future of Bingo in the UK
Bingo is expected to continue to grow in popularity, with online bingo being the primary driver of the game’s growth. Perhaps the biggest advantage that live bingo offers over the online version — social interaction with other players — will likely soon be replicated by VR technology, live casino games, and other technological innovations.
The fact that many players were driven to experiment with online gambling for the first time due to the COVID-19 pandemic will likely only hasten this transition. These players may not abandon their brick-and-mortar bingo parlors entirely, but it’s likely that some, if not all, of their gambling time and money will be spent online.
The game itself is likely to continue to evolve as well, as new forms spring up every day. Hybrid bingo games that incorporate another form of entertainment, like dancing, may allow live parlors to compete with their online counterparts while also bringing in a steady stream of new players.
Time will tell what the future holds for bingo, but if current trends hold, the game isn’t likely to fall off the average UK gambler’s radar anytime soon.

Big Time Gaming has ignited a seismic shift in the gaming world yet again with the launch of TapCards™, the most electrifying tap-and-reveal sensation ever unleashed.
In true Big Time Gaming fashion, TapCards™ deliver an explosive experience for players for a fast-paced dig-for-glory scratch-card style action reimagined at full throttle. With 7 to 16 symbol reveals per card and wilds that substitute for everything, including the mighty Tap Pot.
Wins are triggered by stacking symbols when players match three, four or five symbols anywhere on the card, which uncovers cascading riches! No paylines and no fuss!
Each game allows for multiple winning clusters to stack on a single card, creating dynamic, high-energy gameplay. This is of course amped up with Wilds! They’re your golden ticket, substituting for Tap Pots too. Kaboom.
There are three tiers of Tap Pots – Mini, Midi and Maxi. And then there’s the ultimate goldmine: land 5 Tap Pots and unlock the astronomical 25,000x Maxi win. Stand ready to rain down riches.
The TapCards™ series Four Iconic Titles Taking the World by Storm:
Bonanza TapCards™ – Win big in supercharged volatility and a raw-mining aesthetic of Bonanza TapCards™. It’s pure, unfiltered treasure hunting with a single tap.
Millionaire TapCards™ – brings the drama of the legendary game show to your fingertips, with each tap, the stage is yours and the millionaire moment inches closer. You could be the next big winner on the hot seat!
Extra Chilli TapCards™ is a fiery fiesta of red hot chilli peppers, sizzlin’ Wilds and fiery multi-symbol wins across up to 16 spaces per card. It’s caliente in every card. Oooof!
Big Bucks Deluxe TapCards™ dials up the opulence with gold bars, rings, and fast cars set. This is instant-win gaming in a tuxedo: high class, high volatility, and pure, indulgent opulence.
The simple nature of the gameplay, combined with the extreme volatility and massive win potential, means TapCards™ have broad appeal. With flexible RTP ranges from 86.46%, 94.46% to 96.45%, ensures operators can tailor TapCards™ to every jurisdiction and player preference.
With sleek, intuitive mobile UX and adrenaline-amped design, TapCards™ appeal to both casual players and slot aficionados.

But in the innovative world of Big Time Gaming, that journey is anything but ordinary. We’ve taken our most iconic titles—Bonanza, Millionaire, Extra Chilli, and Big Bucks Deluxe and reimagined them into an entirely new format that’s fast, fiery and dangerously fun. Every Tap & Reveal has the potential to unlock mega wins up to 25,000x, and trust me, it’s a wild ride getting there.”
