There are Bingo players and there are Bingo players. Like they say, not everybody is made equal. So is the case with Bingo players. It is getting increasingly difficult to tell whether the game makes the players or the players make the game! Bingo players bring with them a certain style and attitude and this contributes to how the game is played. Conversely, Bingo games bring with it share of joys and sorrows which in turn shapes a Bingo player.

It is the habits of  Bingo players that has given the Bingo world distinct groups of gamblers. Some are so used to playing at one particular bingo site that they stick to it like glue! They shy away from exploring other Bingo sites and don’t like to even try out different kinds of bingo games. So much so, they play the same game every single day and even look for tickets with their lucky numbers. Obviously it must be paying them something, so who are we to complain? I call them Conformists- and they are not much different from the players who play at one local Bingo hall year after year.

The industry does see them as loyal players, and showers gifts on them. Not that they don’t try to lure away the loyal players on other sites! Easy prey to such allurements from Bingo websites are the adventurous players who buzz around from one bingo site to another and from one Bingo game to another. Such players are daring and like to play on bingo cards with different numbers every time. Indeed they live up to the name Livewire players, being energetic and always on the look out for more money! We suspect that they believe being at one place brings bad luck!

Then there are the Nomads. They keep logging in and out of Bingo games rooms throughout the day and their luck on an assorted variety of games. However, even if they have good fortune, they move on other games, not because they are superstitious but more because they feel the urge to move. Often, such players are guilty of not staying on long enough to reap rich benefits too.

The exact opposite of Nomads and Livewires are the Bingo Fanatics. They log in early in the morning, almost as if it were a ritual and stay on a site till the late hours. They play Bingo as if there was no tomorrow and are mindless of whether they are winning or losing. Such a Bingo habit, is the most dangerous and injurious to the health of bingo players. They are unable to concentrate on a game, can neither strategise to win nor relax and take it easy when they lose. The best advice to such players is: “Why don’t you take a little break, go out for walks, cook an amazing dish for your family. The Bingo site will not go away!”

In the final analysis, the best group of players are the happy-go-lucky types. They love to play bingo on a regular basis but don’t get addicted. They are bingo enthusiasts who pursue the game equally for pleasure. As long it gives them happiness they play and if they find themselves losing , they are wise enough to call it a day.
