Who Says Bingo Playing Is Mere Gambling?

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

If you dig the history of Bingo games playing, it originated as a fund raising activity by the Churches for charity. The fun of playing Bingo, where every member taking part in the game was so enchanting with satisfaction that there was no bother about winning or losing.

Churches were celebrating carnivals for pulling crowds every now and then, even in villages, with all amusements for children and adults. The object was to propagate religion, but at the same time, it was a great relief for people of a locality to mingle with each other socially, using the opportunity. All the people of the town made merry on these occasions.

Churches found these celebrations very useful for fund rising campaigns, without the hassle of going to each and every home. Bingo games were channelized for collection of contributions, drawing the numbers and announcing the winner by offering a portion of the collection as prize money. While the winners were happy with the prize, others also were satisfied that their contribution goes to a good cause.

Now this history is turning around, in spite of the commercialization of Bingo playing. Online Bingo sites in U.K. are finding the old thread to revive diverting a portion of the collections to charity. This way all the online Bingo players derive the satisfaction that their playing Bingo also enables them to take part in helping noble causes.

Latest news is one of the UK Bingo Games site (Party Bingo) has donated a huge sum of £10,000 to British Red Cross society out of March collections. As everybody knows Red Cross is a benevolent organization rushing to help people vulnerable to crisis, wherever they are.

Such charitable activities enhance the status of Bingo Games and who can finger Bingo as a game of mere gambling?
