Have you ever watched Fear Factor on Challenge TV? It's quite a good format really, 4 people get the chance to try fear inducing stunts for a chance to win big money. They get to eat bugs and fall off high buildings, all for the sake of big money.

Surely it would be safer just to visit 888 Ladies Bingo and try your luck in their big games?

Bingo Sky review

It's a little confusing for me, there is SkyBingo and Bingo Sky yet they are two seperate sites. Bingo Sky has both a £ and a $ site both offer a 20 £/$ free welcome bonus, no deposit required.

Registration was easy enough with no credit card details required to receive the free bingo money, but ensure you use a valid email address as you will need to activate the account in order for your bonus to be added.

Wink Bingo only launched in February this year and already is seems to be quite a hit with many online bingo players. Since I started playing online bingo I have seen many bingo sites launch and simply just attract the bonus hunters, you know the people I mean, take the free welcome bonuses and run. Wink Bingo however seem to have built a good player base in a short space of time.

Raceclubs - Virtual Horse Racing

I received an e-mail this morning relating to an old Virtual Horse Racing account I had set up some time ago. The idea behind Virtual horse Racing is you own train and manage a digital horse.  It is pretty interesting stuff the only downside is its all quite complicated and probably only for those who have a real competative streak in thier gameplay desires.  The company which runs the service is called Race Clubs and for those with a keen horse racing interest it may be of interest.
