Since the commencement of the Euro 2008 football championships, it has been reported that there are record numbers of temporary football widows registering to play bingo at the online site. They are saying that the numbers have increased to almost ten times of what they normally receive.
The Public Relations Manager at William Hill, Jenny Prest has stated that since the beginning of the Euro 2008 tournament, they have experienced a huge increase in players logging on to William Hill bingo in the evenings and they can only ascribe this increase to the fact that husband are watching the football and wives, not wanting to spend their evenings watching the games, are getting onto the online bingo site for a bit of fun of their own.
Regardless of the fact that England has been “booted” out of the tournament, there has still been massive betting taking place on who the eventual winner will be and William Hill is benefiting from this too. So it is not only the surge of new football widows playing online bingo that is upping the numbers for William Hill.
There are a different “rooms” where football widows are able to play bingo and they are able to around seventy five games in the duration of a single football match, with prizes of up to ₤100 000.
