The Gambling and Addictive Side of Bingo
For as long as bingo has been around it has always been divided as to which country you are in as to whether it is illegal or legal, whether it is or is isn't the fact remains that it is a form of gambling. When you purchase your card or cards you are taking a gamble on whether you will get a return for your money. You pay your money and you take your chance.
In a lot of countries, although it is gambling it is perfectly legal to participate in the game of bingo with some countries promoting the games publicly but in some countries it is considered very illegal with the consequences of being caught playing bingo or any other form of gambling can carry a very heavy punishment.
Of course there will always be the people around who will take the chance because they enjoy the thrill that gambling can give. Most people would feel that bingo is quite a harmless form of gambling and it is when played in moderation but there are people who can become very addicted to the game and if they have not got the money to keep spending and they do not win very often then they can end up in debt.
As with all forms of gambling it is the anticipation that draws you in, the anticipation of waiting for each number to be called to see whether you possess that number or not, the prize can sometimes be irrelevant, it is the thrill of winning that can make some people want to play over and over again.
On the other hand, if the prize on offer is excellent then people will want to play for the prize and will keep playing until they have won at least one time.
