WhichBingo.co.uk has just published its 2025 Bingo Players Survey, offering a clear window into how UK bingo players are evolving, both in terms of spending and experience preferences.

Despite economic pressures, the data shows that bingo continues to occupy a resilient niche in the broader gambling ecosystem, especially as players become more value-conscious and hybrid in their play habits. Here are a few key industry-facing insights:

  • Average monthly player spend is now £15.77 down sharply from £35.25 in 2023, highlighting a pivot toward budget-friendly engagement and lower-stake recreational play.
  • 70.79% of players report playing as much or more than last year, suggesting continued demand despite tightened wallets.
  • 44.67% of players now split their time between online and in-person bingo, underscoring the increasing appeal of hybrid play models and opportunities for cross-channel loyalty.
  • Millennials now make up nearly 46% of the UK bingo-playing audience, while Gen Z participation is steadily growing, indicating that platform design, tone, and features must evolve to suit younger consumer expectations.
  • “Increasingly we are seeing groups of players attending Bingo Clubs representing up to three generations, grandchildren, parents, and grandparents!” Bingo Association Chief Executive Miles Baron said.
  • Players cite a preference for brands offering value promotions, flexible payment options, and socially engaging formats, with digital convenience and real-world community experiences both playing pivotal roles.

The full survey results dig deeper into:

  • Brand trust signals and social media perceptions
  • Preferred game types and device usage
  • Emerging attitudes on AI-driven features, sustainability, and call culture

Comments from WhichBingo’s new Managing Editor: “As AI becomes more ingrained in daily life, from ChatGPT to driverless cars, the bingo world will need to adapt too. I believe bingo chat rooms and immersive experiences will grow in value, especially as people seek out the kind of community that bingo naturally fosters.”

“We also recognise that only 61.1% of players currently find comparison sites very valuable. That’s why we’re evolving WhichBingo, starting with changes to our rating system and key user tools to provide clearer, more personalised, and trustworthy guidance for modern players.”

Tombola Partners with Breast Cancer Now to Launch “Eyes Down, Check Up” Campaign

Tombola has teamed up with leading research and support charity, Breast Cancer Now to launch their “eyes down, check up” campaign, which aims to encourage one million people to regularly check their breasts and raise up to £1million for the charity.

Every 10 minutes in the UK, one woman is diagnosed with breast cancer, and one man is diagnosed daily. Around two thirds of breast cancers in England are found when a woman detects an unusual breast change and gets this checked by a GP. Yet fewer than half (44%) of women surveyed (YouGov, April 2025) said they don’t check their breasts regularly while one in ten say they can’t remember the last time they checked their breasts.

Britain’s leading bingo brand, tombola, aims to change that through their collaboration with Breast Cancer Now, urging people across the UK to remember a key message: give your breasts some TLC – touch, look, check.

Tombola, in partnership with the charity Breast Cancer Now, has created, “Breast Check Now” an easy-to-use tool, that takes around one minute to complete and features a reminder to encourage regular breast checks – a habit that could save your life.

The online tool will educate people to know the main signs and symptoms of breast cancer, including lumps or swelling in the breast, upper chest or armpit area, and changes in breast size or shape, skin changes like puckering or dimpling, nipple changes like inversion or discharge, colour changes where the breast may look darker red or inflamed or rashing and crusting around the nipple.

Over the course of the next year, tombola aim to raise up to £1million for the charity through a blizzard of fundraising activity. This includes a series of five incredible live “Bingo Against Breast Cancer” charity games, where jackpots of £50,000 will be won, and at least £50,000 per game will be donated to the charity.

To mark the new partnership, tombola brand ambassador Josie Gibson, will take to the high street at Westfield Stratford City for some practical education with an interactive installation, which aims to give members of the public a hands on experience, helping people to feel more confident and empowered to regularly breast check and get any new or unusual breast changes checked by a GP, while also signposting them where to turn for support on Thursday 7th August.

The event will also feature relaxed “Sofa Sessions” hosted by Josie alongside experts from Breast Cancer Now to tackle conversations about breast health, break taboos and encourage regular breast checking. By encouraging this proactive, regular self-care, tombola hopes the initiative will make breast checking feel like less of a chore and encourage more people to make it a habit.

Josie Gibson said: “I’m so honoured to be part of tombola’s partnership with Breast Cancer Now and to support the amazing work they do. I didn’t realise until recently how many of us feel unsure about spotting the signs of breast cancer – me included!

“But that’s why I’m here to help spread the word and make sure everyone knows what to look out for. This is just the start of my own journey learning about something that can feel scary, but if we all check ourselves regularly and make it part of our routine, it can really make a difference. So, let’s look out for ourselves and each other, and make self-checking a regular habit.”

Tombola launched the partnership with Breast Cancer Now after finding that more than half (52%) of their community were affected by breast cancer, either directly or indirectly.

Marion Ryan, managing director at tombola, added: “With half of our community affected by breast cancer – either personally or through someone they love – we are dedicated to standing by them and offering the support they need. This partnership is about more than just raising awareness. It’s about empowering our community with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to take action.

“By working together with Breast Cancer Now, we hope to reach over one million people, strengthening vital support networks and services, and make a real difference in the lives that matter. I am delighted to share tombola are making an initial donation of £250,000 to the charity to kick start the partnership.”

Claire Rowney, CEO of Breast Cancer Now, said: “Around two-thirds of breast cancers are identified through women checking their breasts and getting any new or unusual change checked by a GP, and we know that regular breast checking is a critical first step to diagnosis. The earlier breast cancer is diagnosed the more likely treatment will be successful.

“As such we’re really excited that as part of our partnership, tombola has launched an innovative, easy-to-use tool to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of breast cancer and help even more people to understand what to look out for and feel empowered to take action if something doesn’t feel right.

“Our ambition is that by 2050 anyone diagnosed with breast cancer will live, and live well.”

Former Sports Minister and breast cancer survivor Dame Tracey Crouch said: “Inspired by others who have been through cancer, I encouraged people to check their ‘bits and bobbins’ after my own diagnosis to raise awareness of breast cancer. It’s critical that people know the signs of breast cancer and check themselves regularly, which is why the partnership between tombola and Breast Cancer Now, which will reach over a million people, is so important in the fight to tackle this disease.”
