A pensioner has been banned from attending over 100 Mecca Bingo halls up and down the country after taking a group of her bingo pals to a rival bingo club for a night out! We think Mecca Bingo have gone a little overboard with this little old lady who arranged and outing for her and her bingo buddies to a Club 3000 Bingo hall just 15 miles from her usual Mecca Bingo hall.  

In June one online bingo site launches their latest bingo promotion and players have the chance to cruise with Bingo Liner and the promotion runs from 1st June until the end of August 2009.

In the middle of May we covered a story about a YouTube clip that appeared to be a trailer for a movie called Bingo Confidential with the main theme being a $1 million bingo game.

When our blog article appeared it caught the attention of the film's director, Susan Benfatto.

When it comes to online bingo branding which name stands out amongst the crowd for you and why? When it comes to the most memorable bingo adverts on TV there are a few contenders and each for their own reasons but which of the sites available do you think has the best online bingo branding? For me personally it has to be Foxy Bingo and over the last couple of years the Foxmeister has undergone a few changes.

It would appear that Facebook is becoming very popular with both online bingo sites and bingo portals around the internet and this begs the question should we start an OnlineBingo fan page for onlinebingo.net? There seems to be one already for onlinebingo.co.uk available on Facebook and it seems pretty impressive for the up to date bingo news.

With the whole country in the grip of a supposed credit crunch its great to see the world of internet bingo offering players ways to stretch their online bingo budget and the latest comes in the form of extra value days at Bingo Playground where this bingo sites offers extra deposit bonuses!  Probably the most impressive of the Cozy Games bingo sites, Bingo Playground are offering all their players that chance to grab a 200% bonus until Thursday of this week.

Each and every month many online bingo sites will offer a prize draw where all players that have made at least one deposit at their site over the month will be in with a chance of winning a prize. This month players are being offered the chance of winning an Xbox 360 from 32Red Bingo and entry into the prize draw is gained by simply making at least one deposit in May of £10; the more deposits you make over the month, the more entries into the prize draw you get.

It seems to be a month for bingo birthdays as May sees Game Village Bingo and King Jackpot both turn two and celebrate their first two years of trading in the world of online bingo. We would like to say Happy Birthday King Jackpot and tell you that the site is offering a special birthday cake promotion for all of their online bingo players that runs until 29th May 2009.

All of the online bingo sites on a skin of the 888/Globalcom software run a monthly promotion where they pay a few lucky players bills but not wanting to miss out on the players who love this type of promotion Gone Bingo pay your bills in May. However the site doesn't just offer to pay one persons bill this month but THREE a week throughout the whole of May on the Gone Bingo pay your bills promotion.

Social networking has been a phenomenon that has seen a tremendous growth over the last couple of years with Facebook being the most famous of these sites. We previously touched on Facebook Bingo but a fairly new site to this type of networking is Twitter so how does Twitter Bingo fit in with Facebook Bingo?

When Totesport Bingo first opened its virtual online bingo doors we weren't overly impressed to say the least but recent changes to the site have seen a vast improvement. In addition they are currently offering a Champions League at Totesport Bingo where online bingo players are in with a chance of winning a grand prize of £1,000! This promotion started on 1st April 2009 but runs right up until 30th September 2009 so there is plenty of time to get in on the action!
