One of the best ways to win some free money at online bingo is via the chat games that most bingo sites run in their chat rooms. Gala Bingo is no exception so I thought I'd have a little nosey at their offerings.

One of the new payment options to hit the online bingo scene is UKash and it seems to be becoming more and more popular. So what is UKash and how does it work?

Previously I spoke about the boss, Mr Collins, providing me with a list of over 250 bingo sites and asked me to compile reviews for them all.

Can I be completely honest here? How do you write a review about the same bingo site over and over again and make it sound different? Basically, my issue is that of those 250 online bingo sites some are just a different main page to the others but using the same software.

Jackpotjoy

.com has some of the best online casino gambling games around which does kind of turn me off as a bingo player as I like my Bingo Sites to be more community orientated - that said from Deal Or No Deal instant win games to classic table games like Roulette they offer a lot of gaming content so I have prepared a full list of all their game categories.

Which category do you fit into? Or are you a mixture of both? Do you spend your time in google searching for the best online bingo experience or is it simply the welcome bonus (free bingo money) that attracts you?

The bingo bonus hunter isn't really the market that online bingo sites want to attract it's the Bingo VIP's that mean real money to any online bingo site.

Dream Bingo

is one of the newest online bingo sites so I thought I would check out their Progressive Jackpot.

They call it the £750+ Progressive as it increases at a set rate over time.

Its a common theme on line mistype of domsin names to give you and example of what I mean I have prepared a list of Foxy Bingo mistypes on the extended link below.  But suffice to say it is a regular thing for players to get their typing wrong on search engines and some sites look to exploit this by optimising these miss types to grab the traffic. 

The first thing that grabbed me about this site was the name! LOL It isn't one you are likely to forget. I stumbled across the site when doing my usual search for the "newest bingo sites" - its my favourite search - I like to try all the new online bingo sites.

Love it Bingo Kelly's eye? Maggie's den? Who are these women and what do they have to do with bingo? The only two fat ladies the editor of Love It knows is her mate Joely and herself. LoveItBingo claims you don't have to go out to play bingo or understand what all the funny phrases mean any more now you can log on to their bingo site. As they now let you play at home with loveitbingo.com and when you join up they will give you £10 free to play with.  Although this is not as good as the £10 bonus you can receive from Foxybingo.com which has no deposit requirement.

Most online bingo sites do not simply offer Bingo as a means of playing and experincing the thrill of a game they all offer slots and fruit machine games as well all bar one - www.ThinkBingo.com has always seemed to shun this tactic with the aim of offering a more pure bingo experience.

Littlewoods GameOn is a bingo room, gaming site and lottery site using Dynamite Idea, Electracade, Orbis Technology Ltd software. They recently added WagerWorks software so its a really melting pot of a site with far too much content. It is one of 6 online gaming sites owned by Sportech (the Footy Pools Operator). The site's primary language is English. Other sites owned by Littlewoods Pools include Footballpools, Littlewoods Bingo, Littlewoods Casino, Littlewoods Poker and Littlewoods Football Pools. The instant win site LittlewoodsGameon is hosted at gameon.com.

OnlineBingo.com this is a bingo room not a review portal which to be honest seems a strange way to use such a great domain name. Using Parlay Entertainment software licensed in Costa Rica it is one of 6 online gaming sites owned by Azul Electrico.

The VIR program is open to everyone who plays at FoxyBingo.co.uk At the end of each month they reward those who have spent £2,500 or more on bingo cards, and £5,000 or more on instant win games with a special pay back bonus. There are 3 tiers of bingobonus, from 5% up to 15% back on any money you lose. Check the table at http://www.foxybingo.com/site/promotions/vir/index.php for more details.

Bingo Cafe UK has a new tournament schedule and we have summarised all the important bits for you.

To get a bit more out of a party make up Bingo cards for guests. Each square on the card includes a brief description. (Examples: Visited London, Is an avid party goer, Has brother and sister, Was born in the UK, Lives nearest the school, Knows how to ski, Didn't see the movie "bingo" Likes ham on pizza, Was born in the same month as you, Favorite subject in school, Has an ear pierced more than twice, Father's name is "john," Read more than one book this winter, Speaks three languages, Has two Pets) Guests must walk around the room and get the signature of someone who fits the specific description in each box. The goal is to be the first to fill the bingo card with signatures. To make it harder, have guests fill every square with a different signature and set a time limit. When a guest has a bingo (one name signed per square) give them a bingo prize. 

 

Many online bingo sites offer slots as well as bingo. These vary from site to site, some are part of your bingo screen others open in a separate window but neither version tend to interfere with your bingo game.

The online bingo slots usually have options as with casino sites to increase or decrease your bet depending on your limits. Personally, I'm a fan of the 5 reel slots that include bonus games.

What is an online bingo bonus?

Well Miriam Webster's dictionary defines a bonus as follows:-

Main Entry: bo·nus 
Pronunciation: \ˈbō-nəs\
Function: noun
Etymology: Latin, literally, good -- more at bounty
Date: 1773
: something in addition to what is expected or strictly due:

So when we sign up to an online bingo site we expect to pay to play - a bonus therefore can be a number of things offered by a site.

Online bingo bonus # 1 - WELCOME BONUS

Everyone knows legs eleven but what about all those other caller names for 90 ball bingo ?  We have put together a full list.

In no particular order this is a compilation of every single online bingo site we could come up with a total of 224 different online places to play bingo if you could believe it. From Carlton Bingo through to Foxy Bingo from large sites to small.
