Despite all the doom and gloom that seems to surround us, we can always count on bingo to be there.
The online bingo industry has found itself on the minority side of things, when it comes to succes this year.
With bingo sites offering amazing promotions and offers it really no wonder, more people than ever are clicking on and joining in.
Hundreds of sites are launching themselves into the industry and fighting fiercely to gain their share of the online bingo population.
One such site is Posh Bingo, who recently re-launched their site, and have dedicated two of its bingo rooms to free bingo, giving away £40,000 a month in cash prizes.
All day, every day, players are given the opportunity to win real cash for free.
If you were to ask some people in the world of bingo they would say the the free bingo concept was starrted by Cheeky Bingo who only themselves launched in February.
The industry as a whole even spent over £7million last year on advertising, with the likes of Foxy Bingo spending a quarter of that alone.
With other sites like, Minxy Bingo, Wink Bingo and Bet365 Bingo all advertising on tv as well at the moment.
I think it safe to say the UK online bingo industry is going strong, helping keep a silver lining in an otherwise grey cloud economy.
