Is Bingo the perfect way for UK Expats down under to get a taste of home?

There are over one million people from the United Kingdom living in Australia, making up a booming expat population that’s unbeaten by any other country.

The second favourite place for Brits is Spain, closely followed by Canada, but Down Under rules the roost. Despite the similarities in language and culture, many Brits still miss the things they love about home. Online bingo offers these people the ideal way to enjoy the quintessentially British pastime when living away from the country.

Online Bingo Makes the Game More Accessible than Ever

Bingo was a popular activity across the UK for decades, but it hit a slump after the turn of the millennium when there was a decline in bingo halls. Thankfully, halls are back up and running, but so is the online version of the game, and it is now more prevalent than ever. Logging on to online bingo at Paddy Power is the ideal way for expats to get a taste of the British social game. This digital version of the classic offers an even greater range of options as well, with bingo rooms designed to attract different players.

For example, when playing bingo online, expats can choose between bingo rooms like Cash Cubes, the Crystal Room, and the Gold Room. By selecting a room they have an affinity towards, players are more likely to play alongside like-minded people. The games are updated from time to time as well, with new options appearing to freshen things up and keep players interested.

Plenty of Bingo Games Available in Australia

Due to the high number of British people living in Australia, the game has also grown popular here. Before online bingo, there was a call for land-based games, and many establishments catered to the demand. In addition to that, some places offered bingo even before the influx of British immigrants.

Expats quickly caught on that, often, the game would be referred to as “Housie” instead of bingo Down Under. This is because players would shout out “house” if they completed their bingo card. Still, the general rules of the game remained the same, and fans of one variant would enjoy the other.

How Else do Expats Get Home Comforts?

There are plenty of other ways that British expats in Australia can get hold of their home comforts. There are loads of places in the country that offer high tea, with all the usual accoutrements, like scones and clotted cream. Specialist delivery services even send British tea brands directly to people’s houses.

There are many traditional British high street brands on offer in Australia, and expats that shop in them will feel as though they’ve been transported back to the cobbled streets of the homeland. These include Dorothy Perkins, New Look and River Island.
