Live bingo in a bingo hall is a wonderful game. However, internet bingo also has some distinct advantages. Firstly, it’s one of the most relaxing casino games out there- leave the high stakes poker to the thrill seekers, and turn to a game that lets you have a more peaceful sort of excitement! Online bingo, of course, can be played from the comfort of your own home or office, or even from a public computer.

Furthermore, if you believe that online bingo is any less social than land- based bingo, you are misinformed! Online bingo rooms allow players to chat with other players during games. Since players are all over the world, bingo players often find themselves with a new group of international friends! Many online bingo sites allow players to put up pictures and profiles, so you can even see the people you are playing with.

Online bingo can also be more lucrative than land- based bingo. Since websites naturally have less overhead than land sites, they can pass off more of their revenue to players. Most online bingo halls offer free downloads, plus all sorts of bonuses and prizes. There is also a great deal of range in online bingo halls, so you can choose to play with cards worth only a few cents, or with cards worth upwards of $50.

He has also learned well how to effectively get the message of the PPA across.

This week saw online poker players transforming Coors Field, the home of Colorado’s major league baseball team, into a poker palace. This being on the same night as the Democratic National Convention, with the clubroom over-looking the ball park.

It may seem strange that invitations were sent to the very people who anger them so much, the law makers who banned their gambling back in 2006. To make sure the event was an ‘A list’ affair, attendees included top celebrities Ben Affleck,  Seth Myers from “Saturday Night Live,” comedian Sarah Silverman, TV personality Montel Williams and actor Richard Dreyfuss. Ben Affleck played a few poker hands with the powerful Democratic chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, Republican Barney Frank. On the second night of the convention, which was the night of Hillary Clinton’s speech, the club room, held hundreds of delegates, members of Congress, celebrities and fans of the game of poker.

Essentially the poker tournament had to be a charity event because under new ethics rules, lawmakers can attend events hosted by organisations or corporations only if a charitable donation is involved. So players made a suggested $500 donation, a little less if they didn’t play, and the money went to Paralysed Veterans of America.
