IMO is for social aspect cause in my country, in China they claim official lottery(bingo) is for charity, of course they lie to public, so people who in China buy lotteries or bingo are fooled by the government cause they corrupt those money, never or seldom used the money on charity.
they don't just do it in china, they do that everywhere, watch this for some more details, this one is a good laugh haha, John Oliver goes off about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PK-netuhHA 
Topic: Older means wiser (gambling wise)? - page 2. (Read 1407 times)
Many Hollywood movies show older people enjoying their bingo nights. And bingo is a form of gambling. So why do you think older people would prefer bingo over other forms of gambling?
bingo is extremely time consuming, most of the older crowd enjoy this because it takes up most of their evening/or day and they get to hang around people their age, why else would they do it? surely they don't all win so there has to be a deeper reason for them
all hanging out in bingo parlors

as others have mentioned, bingo is very similar to lottery so it is very exciting. besides it doesn't need any sort of skills or a good memory so it is very suitable for elderly. for example in poker, you need to have some skills and you can't play with a lot of people while bingo can have more players.
true, there is a conection between old people and Bingo and I believe that it is a social conection and it begins with the fact that many of them frequently meet there.

Bingo is a Form of Lottery which is totally Luck Dependent , but in gambling(Sportsbook or others) you can guess as one is your favorite or on based on performance but in Bingo you cant do anything.
And Yeah many hollywood movies shows old people playing bingo and i guess old people feel to be safe with it as in present gambling there are fixes and dishonesty but in bingo you are totally on luck , no intentional defeat.
at the risk of being attacked by your sig users...
you pay a lot for that but it doesn't seem to be helping the site. i wish i could play here more (been a user 3+ months), and at most played a couple games. i still have one active bingo card in a room that is weeks old. why not spend those funds on some other advertising as it is clearly not working?
in my opinion
also, to stick with the topic: life has beaten me down so much i actually enjoy bingo as it's stress free gambling (for me). i used to laugh at bingo players but now i'm one of them
not sure if that makes sense...

Bingo is completely different from most types of gambling. Its usually done in retirement homes and usually its never for money but for prices. Its usually to make it entertaining.
Its similar to playing the lottery.
