There are two things that people love to do on the internet the first is staying in touch with friends via social networking and the second is playing games. One of the most popular online games is bingo. Not so long ago someone came up with the fantastic idea of combining the two. Admittedly it was not as exciting as it sounds at first, because all it involved was some of the major bingo companies setting up Facebook pages and using them for marketing.

Actually letting people play bingo via social networking on Facebook is not likely to happen any time soon because of Facebook’s strict no gambling rule.

The Future of Social Networking Bingo

Despite no gambling being allowed on most social networking sites, it is still possible to play bingo games that do not involve money. These games are not considered to be gambling so are not against the policy.

Bingo companies will be allowed to continue to use their Facebook and other social networking pages to gather followers and fans to whom they can send special offers and news of new games. This means that in one form or another bingo will have a social networking presence.
