Bettys Online Bingo Blog: October 2008 Archives

I was pointed in the direction of an online bingo game called SkillBingo and it is powered by the online bingo portal, onlinebingo.co.uk. Usually I find myself disappointed with many of the free bingo games online but I will hold my hands up to absolutely loving SkillBingo from onlinebingo.co.uk. The game is addictive and fully interactive with lots of twists to the game.

Nearly the start of a new month, just one more to go until we hit the festive season, and many online bingo sites are sending out details of their next promotions. The first to hit my mail box was the JackpotCity Bingo November promotions and this one is a good one. All depositing players at JackpotCity Bingo have the chance to win an all expenses paid trip to Euro Disney!

The beginning of another week brings the weekly online bingo top ten countdown. No one in their right mind looks forward to a Monday morning because it means back to work but I dread it more than most simply because it usually means another land slide victory for "the boss" in the online bingo top ten. I hope you are all wishing me well and hoping that this week sees me triumphant!

Monday morning and yet another online bingo site is making an appearance in my letter box; this time it's the turn of Platinum Play Bingo. What is interesting about the Platinum Play Bingo promotion mail is the pop out scratch card and coin to scratch with. Ok it's only a plastic circular disc but little things please little minds and all that.

Saturday was an interesting day post wise and Crown Bingo landed in my letter box; ok so it wasn't the actual bingo site but a Crown Bingo promotional letter and it's full of images of Alison Hammond, the new face of Crown Bingo and an old face from Big Brother. There Crown Bingo promotional letter offers me £1 free and 100% extra bonus on my next deposit.

Today I received an email from one of the online bingo sites using the Parlay Entertainment bingo software to tell me they had finished their upgrade to the new version. Parlay Bingo Version 5 replaces the older version 4 so I was quite keen to see what the newer version had to offer above the older version. In all honesty there doesn't seem to be that much difference.

There are loads of goodies available in the Gala Bingo Autumn promotions including a trip to the London Dungeons and tickets for the firework display at Alexandra Palace. If you prefer cold hard cash then the Gala Bingo Autumn promotions also have stacks of money on offer as well. It all kicked off on yesterday at Gala Bingo and continues until 30th November.

What's with the slogan on the Ladbrokes Bingo adverts? Go Bingo? It reminds me of the Ricky Lake chant - Go Ricky Go Ricky. Have you noticed it when you watch the new zorbing Ladbrokes Bingo advert? I don't get the relevance really, am I missing something maybe? Where should bingo go exactly? Or is it telling you to go play bingo?

123bingoonline is the new name for 123Bingo who I believe had their web page seized in the crack down of online bingo sites in the US. Although this isn't what the email says that I received from 123 Bingo. In it they tell me about an issue with the "gateway" to their site and how they want to bring me the best gaming experience possible. For a start I would suggest having a site that plays in pounds and not dollars!

Free bingo is coming to yet another on new site but it isn't about a welcome bonus or free money when you deposit; it's simply about playing bingo for free at SkillPod Bingo. Personally I don't go in for the free bingo games at all, I much prefer the buzz of actually winning cash prizes but that's not to say you don't enjoy free bingo so I shall provide you details of SkillPod Bingo.

Firstly apologies, I missed out last weeks online bingo top ten I was fed up of being beaten week in and week out by "The Boss" but I have made my way home from Losersville and this week have my hopes quite high for a victory. There have been some real changes to the hits on articles here at onlinebingo.net and I'm excited to check to results even though the likelihood is that I will be making myself a resident in Losersville.

Remember a couple of weeks ago I told you about a new bingo radio station launch that is sponsored by online bingo sites? Well this week I took a visit to the site again and bingo radio has a new sponsor. Previously there were two sites showing as sponsors; Virgin Bingo and Game Village Bingo, well now it appears that Blackpool Club Bingo are getting in on the act.

It would seem that at Ann Summers Bingo it's all about the ladies when it comes to offering up a gift when you make a deposit at their online bingo site. Although previously the Ann Summers Bingo giveaway was a pack of naughty cards they have recently changed the gift to welcome new depositing players to their site.

A new feature at 888ladies is monthly horoscopes written by none other than the famous astrologer Russell Grant. Bizarre really as Russell Grant actually has his own bingo site so why would he be putting his name at 888ladies? Maybe he has asked for a link back? Anyway I thought it would be interesting to take a quick look at the horoscopes at 888ladies for "The Boss" and I.

Each month, without fail, one online bingo site gives away £1,000 shared between 200 players; the William Hill Bingo prize draw takes place once a month and offers a top cash prize of £100. You don't have to be one of the highest spending players at this online bingo site to be in with a chance of winning; you simply need to have bought £1 worth of  tickets before the end of every month.

The latest online bingo site to hit our computer monitors is Juicy Bingo and as well as a £10 no deposit required welcome bonus they are offering players the Juicy Bingo loyalty programme that sees all your game play earning you loyalty points; the more points you collect the more free cash you can claim at Juicy Bingo and the better your deposit bonuses will be.

I was interested to read a report today listed in Google news about Bingopoly at Blackpool Club Bingo and why the interest? Well what caught my eye was the  article stated "Webroute Services has put together bingo and Monopoly and come up with Bingopoly!" I screamed at my pc monitor "Webroute didn't do it - I DID". Bingopoly is a game that I created in my time as a bingo chat host incorporating the concept of the Monopoly board game with bingo.

This month you will find a great promotion available at one online bingo site if you are a bit of a shopaholic; the InterBingo shopping spree promotion runs from 1st October until 31st October and has £1,000 worth of shopping vouchers up for grabs divided between 5 lucky winners. To enter this promotion you simply need to deposit £10 or more at InterBingo between now and 31st October.

Many online bingo sites have chat as part of their bingo rooms; in fact I don't know of one that doesn't. Did you know that there is a certain bingo chat etiquette you should follow when participating in chat? Not all players adhere to the chat rules laid out by any given online bingo site and this can lead to being booted by the chat moderators and in severe cases a chat ban.

Whose idea was the online bingo top ten? It can't have been mine because in the previous 3 weeks I seem to have lost badly and I have all my appendages crossed that this week I fair a little better than I have in the past but having a quick glance at the articles I don't hold much hope for being the online bingo top ten champion this week!

The online bingo site bought to you by Platinum Play Bingo have plenty of free bingo bonus money to give away this month and not just to the winners of their bingo games but their neighbours too. The Platinum Play Bingo October Giveaway sees extra bonus galore being given to bingo players at their online bingo site.

We all know that Foxy Bingo have their own bingo radio show but recently I heard about a new bingo radio station being launched offering prizes from the sponsors of the Bingo Radio station. Currently the Bingo Radio station is only sponsored by Virgin Bingo and Game Village Bingo but it won't be too long before other online bingo sites are clambering to be sponsors.

It wasn't so long ago I was questioning where all the Bingo Night Live winners were and my question has been answered today when taking a look around the Bingo Night Live web page. At last the site now shows an interview with a couple of winners at Bingo Night Live; I was beginning to think it was all a fix until I took a look at the site today!

If you had $10,000 in your hand what would you do with it? Do not think about bills or the impending Christmas festivities and don't think about anyone else; for once in your life be totally selfish and indulge yourself, close your eyes and grant yourself one wish, a new car? Well Party Bingo Genie of the Lamp has another $10,000 up for grabs in October.

October at Free Bingo is all about Breast Cancer Awareness and this is a subject close to my heart, literally! Breast Cancer Awareness with Free Bingo sees the site take on a pink colour scheme as well as a logo redesign in pink and a special pink bingo room with Free Bingo's first ever female bingo caller. The purpose of the special changes at Free Bingo is to help raise awareness of the need for women to check their breasts regularly.
