What’s in an (online bingo) name?

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

Have you seen the latest Gala Bingo survey that reveals the top ten names that appear to be the luckiest?

If you are called Julie, Susan, Sharon, Janet, Margaret, David, Patricia, Christine, Linda or Paul it would seem that you have a better than average chance of winning at the average online bingo game – does your experience in the virtual bingo world back this up?

I have noticed some days when I am playing that you will get a run of user names with a similar theme that would seem to back up this view – misssue;  suzyg69;  susiebabe or jules13, then julieb or unluckyjue – and I have considered changing my name to get in on the act.

Once the results of this survey are known to the wider online bingo game audience I wonder if we will see a rush of names along the lines of JulSuzShaz or MagsJan or JanetnJulie. I might give it a go to see if I have any better luck with some of those attractive progressive jackpots that are out there at the moment.

Let me know if you are one of the lucky 10 and if you have had a win or are a lucky person generally.

I would love to receive any feedback from you on this item and also any ideas for any other bingo related topics you would like to see covered in my WhichBingo blogs in the coming weeks.

Has anyone out there played bingo on their mobile yet? It seems to be spreading like wildfire!

Bingo.com’s new software has enabled them to offer players bingo games over smart phones, and WhichBingo UK has just announced the launch of Bingo Anywhere – a site that claims to offer bingo anywhere, anytime on your mobile.

I haven’t played at the site yet but there is a £20 sign up bonus and if what they’re saying is true, you’ll soon be able to play their bingo games and slots no matter where you are or whatever else you’re doing!

Bingo.com chooses Cozy Games

Friday, January 15th, 2010

I’ve been snowed in for most of 2010, which has given me plenty of time to catch up on the latest bingo news.

Bingo.com has changed software providers

Bingo.com has changed software providers

This morning I learned that one of the internet’s most famous and long-standing bingo sites, Bingo.com, has chosen Cozy Games as its new software provider.

For players at the site, that means lots of new features, including over 30 new slots machines with six progressive jackpots!

The new software will also offer players one free bingo card for every two that they buy and loyalty points for every wager.

The Bingo.com team have always been right at the forefront of the bingo market, so it’ll be exciting to see how their site develops with new software!

Readers of the Yorkshire Evening Post will have already seen the WhichBingo UK logo emblazoned across the sports pages in the pictures of Sporting’s recent 3-1 win over Black Bull.

We were introduced to the team by our good friend CM Wayne from FreeBingo.co.uk and we are delighted to be sponsoring the Blues on their way to glory this season.

Which Bingo’s sources revealed today that Silk Bingo has just launched and is available to play at right now. The WB team were so quick off the mark, they reported the news of the launch before the site was even listed on Google!

The site itself looks like a rather classy establishment, and with 20 free bingo cards upon registration, it certainly seems worth a look.

Balloon boy and train baby put bingo on hold

Friday, October 16th, 2009

I was just settling down to read the latest bingo news, but this morning’s news headlines are full of reports on the little boy feared to have been carried off by a hot air balloon in America and the baby run over by a train in Melbourne.

The two bizarre, terrifying stories both ended happily, with the little boy found in the attic of his house and the baby escaping with only a bump on the head.

After two such harrowing tales, I am definitely in need of some light relief and a bingo game. Fortunately, there is a new TV ad from Sky Bingo to check out today, as well as their £20,000 jackpot game, which costs just 2p to enter!

Let’s hope the rest of the weekend is free from drama and full of bingo!

Dancing dog stars in bingo site ad

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

Bingo site TV ads have a tendency to be slightly odd but I believe Wink Bingo’s latest offering is the most bizarre of the bunch!

It begins with a lady innocently enjoying a game of online bingo but once she wins, things get a little bit weird.

Now I’m a big fan of dogs but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t find this one just a little bit disturbing!

Mecca Bingo – king of prizes?

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

Readers of the WhichBingo News page will have heard about Mecca Bingo giving away a VIP trip to Las Vegas, but is that the best prize ever to be given away by a bingo site?

Over the years, we’ve seen huge sums of cash, trips to exotic locations and even cars given away by bingo sites.

Gala Bingo famously created online bingo’s first millionaire when 62-year-old Pauline Clark from Bristol achieved a full house playing the KerChingo game in 2008.

Personally, I’d have to say the WhichBingo UK Foxy Video competition prizes are pretty dazzling – a £50 Paysafecard plus loads of £20 funded accounts at Foxy Bingo and loads of cuddly Foxy beanies!

What’s the best bingo prize you’ve ever won?
