WhichBingo Players Survey 2025
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.”

Downtown Las Vegas property says the July Super Bingo will be its largest prize purse to date, with sessions on July 4-5.
Plaza Hotel & Casino will stage a $250,000 “Super Bingo” event in Las Vegas July 3-5, positioning it as a special edition tied to the nation’s 250th anniversary. The operator said the prize pool is the largest in the series’ history.
“The Plaza will be celebrating its 55th anniversary and the 250th anniversary of our great country in July, so it is only fitting that we make our Super Bingo event that month our biggest and best ever,” said Jonathan Jossel, CEO of the Plaza Hotel & Casino. “Our Super Bingo events have always drawn a packed crowd to our convention space, and we anticipate the July event to sell out quickly.”
According to the Plaza, Super Bingo draws nearly 1,000 attendees, including visitors traveling from Hawaii and Canada. For the July edition, bingo-only registration is set at $250 per person for gameplay on Saturday, July 4 and Sunday, July 5. The Plaza is also offering an optional five-night hotel package priced at $200 per person, with no resort fee, for check-in July 2 and check-out July 6.
The Plaza outlined the payout structure as 20 games paying $1,999 each day, plus a daily “super coverall” of $60,000, second place of $15,000, and third place of $10,020. The casino said prizes will be paid in cash and players must be present to win.
Outside of the special event, the Plaza said its bingo room runs six daily sessions at 11 a.m., 1 p.m., 3 p.m., 5 p.m., 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. and is located two floors above the main casino.
