Online Bingo Takes Flight, Literally

Airlines offer online games during flight, including in-flight bingo.

Several renowned airlines, including British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Singapore Airlines and Virgin, have begun offering passengers their choice of games during flights, and that includes online bingo.

Some airlines (such as Virgin) have their own online games portal, so that patrons flying with them will be able to play online bingo games while flying. This new feature of flying is sure to attract the most ardent online bingo players, but will also no doubt win over lots of bored travelers as well, especially on particularly long flights.

In order to comply with recent US prohibition against online gaming companies, airlines will not be offering these games on flights going into and coming out of the US.

Sources say to rest assured that you will not be picking up your loved one at the arrivals terminal with his or her savings account dried up from this online in-flight fun. British Airways and many others have put restrictive policies into place, which will effectively limit the amount that passengers will be able to spend on any given flight.
