There's a lot of reasons to pick a particular online bingo site over the masses of others that exist. Some plump for the site with the best opening offer or no deposit bonus, others prefer a friendly and lively game atmosphere, while others still like big cash prizes, or might prefer the star item prizes such as cruises and cars. The sniper travels from site to site taking advantage of the best offers that are in place. Eventually, they may... More

Newspapers and other media... More

Casino games are becoming commonplace on bingo websites as a part of the range of side games that sites offer.

PartyGaming has shown a reasonable set of financial results for the first half of 2008, although in all honesty, the figures fall some way short of the staggering numbers laid down by 888Holdings Plc. Net revenues for PartyGaming increased by around 17% and a net profit from continuing operations of $26.7m. The PartyGaming bingo site, branded PartyBingo, is popular enough with some reasonable offers and a good design but it hasn't set the... More

The online bingo community is certainly an active... More
Bingo prizes are usually determined by the price of the tickets and the number of tickets sold. If everything else were created equal then the bigger price tickets would attract the greater prizes or, alternatively, the games with the most players buying the largest number of tickets would grant access the biggest possible jackpots.

The UIGEA ball rolls onward and this time it looks being a hug step closer to victory for players and non-US based online gambling and gaming companies. EU companies, in particular, have been fighting the allegedly illegal UIGEA because it prevents fair trade between the US and the rest of the world. Talks were to be held earlier this month but the US had stalled – it looks, now, like the reasoning behind this was the proposed dropping of the... More

Ticket prices can vary greatly from one site to another. Even ignoring those few... More

Rather than giving out purely cash prizes (although there's still a substantial amount of those going begging too), Foxy Bingo has opted to offer unique prizes like vouchers for major supermarkets, as well as the chance to have your gas bill or other utility bill paid fully for a year. Ten weekly winners each walked away with £100 of Asda vouchers made up of.... More

The object of bingo is to cover all, or a designated selection, of numbers on a ticket. A bingo caller reads out the number of a randomly selected ball and if that number features on any of your tickets then you mark that number off. Once you covered the desired pattern on your bingo ticket, that makes you the winner. 90 ball bingo, which is the variant most commonly played in the UK, requires that you first cover a single line of numbers. Once... More

One of the most notable things about the evolution of online bingo is the range of games being played. 90-ball bingo is the traditional UK game, with 75-ball or pattern bingo also providing popular. However, different online bingo sites also offer their own unique or fairly unique bingo games including 80-ball or even 60 ball speed bingo for the real hardcore fanatics. Pattern bingo, which is traditionally played in parts of Europe and America,... More
Any excuse to throw a promotion for these bingo sites. Anything from film premieres to month long sporting events and you can truly rely on the bingo websites to pick up on them. The latest is obviously the spectacle of the Beijing Olympics. Undoubtedly, the UK won't quite make the grade in most events, although a gold in the cycling was a great start. Ladbrokes Bingo is holding a triathlon to mark the Olympic Games. In the first event of the... More
The Sun bingo site is to undergo a major change, changing from one software provider to another. While this will mean changes for their regular players, those changes all appear to be for the better. More games, a greater range of games, and software that has been built specifically with Sun Bingo players in mind (apparently) so all the benefits you could hope for. This is a major change in the way a bingo site operates and, as such, it... More
Many of us have lucky numbers, and often the reasoning behind the choice of number can be as simple as it being your birthday or the birthday of somebody close to you, or it could be for a completely different reason. Maybe you wait for a lucky number because that was the final ball in a big bingo win or the date of the month you met your partner. Bingo is a game of chance and, for that reason, it has always attracted superstition and some... More
The new network bingo game that is being shared across several bingo sites is really bringing in the big winners for Bingo Liner UK at the moment with two more accumulating against their name this week alone.

The linked game brings players together from several online bingo sites with the result being one huge linked game of... More
Paddy Power Bingo has a tendency to offer some fantastically unique prizes that you rarely see repeated on other sites. They recently ran a Karaoke Final content, which went down really well with new and old players. In fact, it obviously proved very popular because Paddy Power has brought it back for another round. If you missed out last time, or you just want to enjoy the fun again, then you can by registering at the Paddy Power site. To... More

Online bingo ticket prices vary greatly, starting at a penny (or even free on occasion) they increase to the high roller games of £1 per ticket. Generally speaking, the higher the ticket price, the bigger the prize, although high ticket prices also mean that you have fewer competitors in most cases because the most popular prices are from 5p to 10p. A lot of sites have regular offers that include penny bingo, or even free bingo tickets. More... More
To play online bingo you first need to register an account with the desired bingo site. While they are all slightly different, the information that a bingo site needs is generally basic stuff.

Most sites accept all major debit and credit cards while a lot also accept online payment processing... More

An anonymous grandmother has won over £160,000 in a Cambridge Mecca Bingo hall. She scooped the huge jackpot last Sunday picking up the platinum prize as well as the club prize and regional prize along the way. The Platinum game is Mecca's own equivalent to the National Game that they recently left (in order to further establish the Platinum game as it happens). Many winners decide to remain anonymous, but few win £168,000 in the process.... More

It's that time of year, it seems, when all the bingo sites aim for a redesign to freshen up the look, add new features, and improve the range of games and prizes that they offer – not that we're complaining about that in any way.

Whenever a major event crops up, bingo sites are usually buzzing with competitions, jackpots, and promotions to match them.

The next event to get the online bingo treatment... More

When we play online bingo we all dream of winning one of the big prizes; after all somebody has to win them (the guaranteed jackpots anyway). The current trend is for summer holidays, to get us away from the typically inclement British summertime weather (although we all seem to be experiencing some degree of a mini heat wave at the moment). Others dream of new cars, home makeovers and even, according to one survey conducted a while ago, about... More
Talks between the US and EU over America's online gambling and gaming laws have hit an unexpected stumbling block as the USA has postponed the talks with no reason, as yet, being given. European gaming companies were expecting to hold talks about either receiving some form of compensation or bringing about a change in the anti-gambling laws claiming that preventing them from offering their services to US members was against fair trading laws. ...

Bingo Liner has made two lucky players considerably happier in the last week with jackpots totalling more than £6,000 on their bingo games. One came on the first night following the increase of their guaranteed jackpot of £5,000 and both the winners have said that they will be going on holiday with their winnings (it seems a very common trend in winners at the moment). Kellie25UK (you can tell about a person by their bingo username) picked up... More

Little surprise, then, that Chit Chat Bingo concentrates on the chatting side of things not only in its name and... More

Both sites attract a lot of players and, for the player, this... More
A lot of online gaming, casino, poker, and more recently online bingo sites offer promotional offers to their new players upon registration. Obviously, this is done to try and drag new players in, but regardless of its reasons it provides new players with an opportunity not only to try out the software, check out the range of games, and see if they like the design of the site, but to potentially win some money without spending their own money in...

The price of utilities is an ever increasing monthly bill and one that many of us dread facing when it does arrive through the door. Despite this fear, it has to be opened and it has to be paid. Moon Bingo offered a fairly unique set of prizes in July, paying utility bills for three of their players. This event has now become a monthly thing and all you need do is find the right pattern bingo games and get playing to be in with a chance of... More
There's only one thing we like more than seeing huge progressive jackpots and that's seeing people win them (accurately, there's two things, because we like to us winning them). Well, we're still waiting on the latter part of that deal at Crown Bingo but they certainly have a monster progressive jackpot that's just waiting to be won by one lucky player, as the Clover Rollover jackpot now stands at more than £1m. The jackpot is growing at... More
Bingo is far from being a game reserved solely for women, although the demographics of the average online bingo player has definitely become the 30+ woman. Men do regularly play and enjoy a game of bingo and relish in the many side games and promotions that are on offer but there is no mistaking the fact that many of the online bingo sites on offer are geared heavily towards women. Well known sites like Foxy Bingo may not openly target women... More
We briefly touched on Rank's performance in our earlier post about the new slot machine legislation for bingo sites. First half profits for the six months leading up to June (before exceptional items) was down a huge 40% with turnover also having dropped by around 10%. Revenue fell 17% in the first half, although analysts describe this as being a turnaround performance following the disastrous end to 2007 that Rank Group faced. Rank Group... More
In June, ministers, backed by the Sports minister Gerry Sutcliffe, passed a proposal to double the cap of big jackpot slot machines allowed in bingo halls from four to eight. The move, coming just nine months after the original cap was imposed, was made in a bid to help the clubs that were hit particularly hard by the smoking ban. Rank Group, which operates Mecca Bingo halls and the Mecca bingo website, have been negotiating a loop hole in the... More
