Bettys Online Bingo Blog: March 2009 Archives

According to Google news there is to be a new bingo comparison site to launch called BingoSupermarket and for me, although I haven't seen the new look site, I can only imagine it will be well placed in Google simply because of the name. BingoSupermarket could be part of the group that offers sites like HolidaySupermarket etc. Taking a look at the site now it is not very informative but a recent press release states that the new launch on 23rd March.

If you aren't being pampered by your kids this Mothers Day then don't despair because many of the online bingo sites have a wide variety of specials and promotions on offer. Put your feet up and let William Hill Bingo celebrate Mothers Day with you as they offer Spa days, half price bingo and cash back to all their online bingo players on Sunday 22nd March.

Mothers Day is one of my favourite times of the year. A day dedicated to appreciating the hard work all us mothers put into the household and now one online bingo site is making it even better. Mothers Day at Mecca is another gift to the mummies (Not Egyptian!) that use online bingo as a getaway from the hectic home they hold together with their endless talents. This online bingo site has clearly got its head in the right place because there is nothing I like more than free bingo tickets.

Reading through some of the dull industry news that I am often sent by "he who shall be obeyed" I was interested to read an article from the Guardian about the former head of marketing for the Times and Sunday Times being moved to a new division that will be looking after customer related sites like SunBingo for News International. The title Katie Vanneck takes a shine to SunBingo is quite apt although the article by Mark Sweney doesn't focus too much on the online bingo angle.

A new addition to one online bingo site is a new room; Glitzy Gold at MinxyBingo opened yesterday and is open daily from 7pm until 11pm and is reported to be this bingo sites bargain bingo room. On offer throughout the four hours that the room is open is penny bingo, tuppeny bingo, BOGOF Bingo and thrown into the mix are a few free bingo games. If you love a bargain when you play bingo then Glitzy Gold at MinxyBingo could be the bingo room for you!

One lucky lady has become a big winner at Opera Bingo after scooping a big jackpot prize of £23,600 on the National Game. The lucky lady, Joyce Martin from Keswick managed to win the huge amount after calling a full house on the National Bingo game in just 43 numbers at her local bingo hall in Penrith. Joyce visits the Opera Bingo hall once a week with husband David but this is the first time she has won such a big amount.

This Tuesday there is plenty of radio fun at Foxy Bingo as the radio show airs and online bingo players are offered the chance to win £500 in their Tombola, bonus points in Tally Ho and much much more. The theme this week, 17th March, is pets to coincide with the film Marley and Me launching onto our cinema screens; if you like a tear jerker type film then this is definitely a must see! 

Now I had heard of a site called Juicy Bingo but was surprised to find one called Juice Bingo! Visiting the home page of Juice Bingo it is instantly apparent that this online bingo site is powered by the St Minver network of sites, the layout is standard to the network with only the logo and colour scheme varying from another online bingo site on this platform. As with all sites on St Minver the software used to power the site is that provided by Parlay Entertainment and you can only play 90 ball bingo currently at Juice Bingo.

Over the past couple of days I have been seeing a site called Bingo Bonus Blaster plastered around a few forums that I frequent claiming to be able offer a strategy for winning when playing online bingo! Now the sensible amongst us know that whilst there are a few ways to stretch your money when playing online bingo there is no real strategy to the game as of all the online gaming available it is the one that is most based on luck.

GoldenHatBingo is the latest site to pop up on the Virtue Fusion platform and they are coming in with a bang with a range of offers. GoldenHatBingo promises frequently changing promotions and fabulous prizes. As well as getting a £20 bonus when you deposit £10 there is more on offer with GoldenHatBingo promotions. One of GoldenHatBingo promotions is that with every penny you spend they are willing to give you 10% back if you bingo on a lucky number.

As you may now I read a lot about the online bingo game from news stories to online bingo promotions but one article I read recently really made me question the online bingo morals of some of the people advertising the game. To my mind when writing about an online bingo promotion I want to make it sound interesting but I don't want to produce an article that to all intense and purposes screams "don't get a job, play online bingo!" This is exactly what a recent article said in essence despite being some 556 words long!

March is proving to be a very musical month at one online bingo site as the March promotions are all about music at Minxy Bingo. The grand prize in this promotion is a pair of VIP tickets to see Britney Spears on 13th June 2009 at the O2 Arena in London. Other prizes include iTunes vouchers, a couple of iPod Touches, and a couple of karaoke machines! As with many online bingo promotions the winners of the Music at Minxy Bingo promotion will be decided by a prize draw taking place on 1st April 2009.

It just wouldn't be right if Ladies month wasn't celebrated at 888Ladies now would it? Well you knew they would have to do some kind of promotion being the site that's name is best known amongst the ladies and Ladies month at 888Ladies holds a great promotion for their online bingo players! There is a whopping £4,500 up for grabs from this online bingo site over the next four weeks to celebrate International Woman's Day and Mother's Day.

Play online bingo at Littlewoods Bingo between now and the end of April and you could find yourself in the prize draw to win one of 5 32" HD ready Sony televisions that that have on offer in their TV giveaway at Littlewoods Bingo! All you have to do to get in the prize draw for one of these fabulous prizes is play for cash between now and the last day of April and you will be in with a chance of winning! 

I must admit I love day time television, Home Under The Hammer, Buy Or Not To Buy, and of Course Judge Judy; every day you will find me sitting in front of the television with my laptop in front of me working away whilst watching random strangers buy a new house or sue a relative for none payment of a loan to buy a new trailer. Unfortunately I some times have to venture from my sofa to do some house work but maybe not for much longer if I win a robot vacuum cleaner from All Club Bingo.

A couple of years ago a friend of mine won a holiday to New York on the radio and ever since then we have not heard the last of it. Everything anyone's does now is compared to life in the Big Apple, her flat is covered in photos of the city and each year we have to watch Home Alone just so she can say "I've seen that". To say I am getting bored of this is an understatement and I really want to put her in her place, something I will be able to do if I get to visit New York with Biggest Bingo.

It's been a little while since I did the online bingo top ten so this week I thought I should really take a look to see who are the movers and shakers and who is the most recent winner between the boss and I in the online bingo top ten most read stories over the last week. Taking a quick look I can see that "TheBoss" has secured the most read article this week so I am hoping that I manage to keep up with the other nine articles.

When I first compiled my review of Bingo Flash I was a little disappointed with the page layout although the online bingo site was easy to navigate. Today however I revisited the site to find there has been a Bingo Flash makeover. The site looks clean and fresh with funky looking characters who look rather hip and trendy. Sadly though the Bingo Flash makeover has yet to include an upgrade of the now very dated Parlay Entertainment version 3!

When Totesport Bingo first launched their online bingo site I will openly admit that I wasn't overly impressed however recent changes to their internet bingo site have changed my opinion a little. Add to the changes the chance to win a £1000 shopping spree from Totesport Bingo and I am being gently persuaded to give this online bingo site another chance. The graphics have also improved as well as the introduction of a £10 welcome bonus for all new players.

The month ahead at William Hill Bingo is full of great promotions as well as the launch of two new bingo rooms and the introduction of a new feature allowing you to play in four rooms at once and watch all the games play. March is jam packed with bingo promotions and great offers for all players at this online bingo site so here we will look at what is on offer.
