  • Cheeky Bingo - the busiest bingo site around?

    By Lisa West on Friday, 29th January 2010

    EGaming Review recently released an online publication that revealed statistics show Cheeky Bingo had the most players logging on during December. These stats do not include all the major online bingo operators.  However, they do include all the operators currently using the Dragonfish bingo network.  And that has some big names on it, like Wink Bingo and the UK No1 operator, the great Foxy.  When you consider they are part of the equation, and yet the busiest site on the network is a free online bingo website (as well as the second busiest!) - you have to take notice….  These statistics do seem to be highlighting just how huge the impact of online bingo sites has been, during the last 12months.  

    Cheeky Bingo were the first operator to launch a dedicated free online bingo website.  Offering free games and real cash prize money it’s popularity became phenomenal, and in July 09 Costa Bingo also launched onto the UK free online bingo scene.  Many Bingo enthusiasts and workers within the industry, since trying to call the ‘popularity stakes’ between Cheeky Bingo and Costa - not an easy thing to do…  According to the stats from Dragonfish, while Cheeky averaged 1608 players a day, and Costa Bingo 1408 players a day during December, Foxy and Wink Bingo didn’t even hit the 1000 player mark.  

    According to Costa Bingo’s CEO Richard Skelhorn, the statistics prove that the free online bingo model works, with regards to attracting new members.  And while there has certainly been a marked notice of late, with regards to the bonuses in place for depositing players, Skelhorn has stated that the company will not be abandoning the free play strategy, stating; “We are confident in our product offering and encouraging players to try our free bingo experience before making the decision to deposit with us.”

  • Free No Deposit Bingo On It's Way Out?

    By Lisa West on Saturday, 2nd January 2010

    The free play bingo model seems to have become a success in the UK, in a relatively short amount of time; with major free play operators such as Cheeky Bingo and Costa Bingo pulling in more players than the likes of Wink and Foxy Bingo.  That is, according to the latest statistics released by Dragonfish and eGaming magazine.  However, while they may be claiming success other such operators are far from pulling in the players….  Despite offering up a tonne of free bingo online.  Plus, it has been noted that some ‘free play’ website operators have recently been changing their tact.  Moving their interests over to depositing players; abandoning their no deposit, free play, real cash prize offerings.

    Bingo.com is bingo portal where members can enjoy a free or pay to play game of bingo…. and of course… a good Chat!  After all, it just ‘aint’ bingo if you can’t have a chinwag with your fellow roomies!  What’s so extraordinary about that I hear you ask???  Well… nothing!  But what is extraordinary is that this operators figures for the first three quarters of 2009 showed losses. The final figures in the third quarter for 2009, from July to September, revealing the company lost more that £125K a month.  With overall losses for the year, showing an 8% fall in revenues.

    Why is this company in trouble?  They have been around for eons - Bingo.com LTD (the company) are based in the West Indies and were originally founded way back in 1987 - and have been providing online bingo to players from around the world since 1999.  With such a long time in the industry - as well as the No1 domain name for bingo! - one would think these guys had it in ‘the bag’….  According to Tarrnie Williams, Chief Executive for Bingo.com, the losses are down to players “becoming more sophisticated”…  

    So does that mean we will be seeing some big changes soon at bingo.com?  At the moment they are still offering players a free £15 no deposit welcome bonus, and the prize jackpots in their pay to play bingo games are still offering some seriously BIG prize money.  My advice… get in there while the going’s still good!

  • Happy New Year!!!

    By Lisa West on Friday, 1st January 2010

    Yeah I know… I’m probably a bit of a pah humbug!  But when the kids are all grown and the main man in your life is a fat ginger cat who makes Garfield seem like a novice ‘bad boy’ …. things can become somewhat repetitive over Christmas… only so many sherries and mince pies you can eat (and enjoy) in one lifetime!  So, where do you look for some ‘new style’ entertainment?  Well for a lot of people, playing bingo online offers an economic and extremely practical way for them to have some social time - as well as a shot at a few £££££!!!  Without the fat cat having to lose a few kilos!  ; )

    It’s January 1st today, so that means it’s time for some New Years resolutions…..  Pah humbug!  But hey… at least we don’t have to give up bingo ; )  No matter what the bank manager says!  Know why?  Because there is an absolute MOUNTAIN of FREE BINGO available online right now.  Those FAB New Year sales aren’t just for the high street you know.  Thankfully…

    We’re always striving to keep you in touch with the latest promotions and industry news, here at BingoFaces.  And usually an offer like that of Cheggers Bingo wouldn't be oh so interesting… a couple of £££..... but it does make a change from ‘playing pop’.. and with the adverts are so B Movie I can’t help myself!  If you are an insomniac like myself… then you have probably caught the adverts already, generally shown in the early hours of the AM..  Priceless Roomies…priceless…. And if 2010 is going to be anything like 2009... We’re all going to need a bit of a laff with Cheggers...

    Check out Cheggers Bingo.  With a free £2 No Deposit welcome bonus on offer, it won;t cost you a penny.... so long as you use this promo when you sign up: CHEGWIN… if you don’t use it you’ll just get there advertised £1 offering.  Which is all very well, but hey… if you can get better??

  • Gala Bingo - Loving It!?

    By Lisa West on Thursday, 31st December 2009

    If you found yourself under the mistletoe alone this New Year, then it could be because you were looking for Mr Right in the wrong place!  LOL ; ) Avid online bingo fan Catherine Whitehead (38) hit the real jackpot when she met Julian Brook (46) playing at Gala Bingo online.  Things began with a “good luck” and a friendly hello… but before they knew it, the two were falling for each other…. And now?  Well, mum’s off to buy a new hat!

    When the two made the decision to play at Gala Bingo, you can guarantee they didn’t have a new hubby or wife in mind…  Maybe dreams of a big jackpot… new car… but new hubby? A wife???  I think probably not!  Catherine is from Preston, and Julian is from Hull, 120 miles away.  They may or may not have met up ordinarily - I’m not even going to go into all that “fate” stuff!!!  But what is for sure… it’s amazing what a friendly exchange of “good luck” can lead to!!!  And in this case, looks like it’s all ‘good things’…

    Gala Bingo are one of the UK’s leading operators.  Catherine became ill and found herself unable to visit her local club.  This is why she initially changed her bingo playing habits to online.  But why choose between the local club and online?  Enjoy the best of both worlds!  With all the bargain bingo around, it doesn’t cost a lot to have fun at Gala Bingo.    

    Between nine o’ clock in the morning until midnight you can play free bingo at Gala online.  ONE HUNDRED FREE GAMES with £100 & £150 cash jackpots up for grabs each and every day… which means?  Gala Bingo are paying out more than £10K each week in free play prize money alone.  Amazing what you can get for free these days!  And you never know… make the most of those chat rooms and you might be get the bingo bonus of a lifetime….
