On 20th April amuso.com opened its doors for the first time to paying customers with a simple single 90-ball and single 75- ball online bingo offering and with the big feature being an online Weakest Link game, but things did not go smoothly for the newcomer.
Traffic to the site was not great, but the players that found the site really appeared to enjoy the experience once they
had managed to get hold of the bonus cash on offer of a no deposit £5 – I know I certainly did. The only other initial complaint was the lack of players to swell the bingo prizes and to make for a good challenge on the Weakest Link trivia game.
Players tended to move back and forth between the bingo games and the Weakest Link, but suddenly the Weakest Link game kept disappearing for long periods at a time and then was withdrawn altogether and replaced with a holding page saying that the game was coming soon in April 2010. Enquiries revealed that due to some of the glitches and bugs that were being experienced by the site the BBC had insisted that the game be taken down until they were fixed.
As Amuso is the exclusive producer of online and mobile game shows for the BBC Worldwide and Endemol with the brand responsibility that this entails this would appear to be a perfectly legitimate request, but in the meantime potential loyal players have become discouraged. Continued visits to the site over the last few days have seen regular chat questions asking about the fate of The Weakest Link.
However, The Weakest Link on amuso.com is now up and running again and to encourage players to the site the trivia game is currently running for free, but with the chance to win real cash. The game is great fun playing against only two or three other people, so if more people take part the enjoyment will be multiplied. The questions are trivia and current affairs with multiple choice answers and a limited time to chose an answer which adds to the excitement. At the end of each round a player gets voted off, just like on the TV.
Pay a visit to the site and encourage friends to visit to get the bingo pots climbing too. It would appear that the most
players so far achieved is in the region of 20 with a pot of £12 – although there are progressive jackpots also available for the really lucky. If first appearances are anything to go by amuso.com is gearing up to be one of the friendliest and most fun sites available where players can get their fix of bingo online.
Spread the word and let’s see if the site lives up to the expectations of demanding online bingo players looking for something a little different different. See you there and may the best man (or woman of course) win – I don’t want to be the weakest link, do you?
