Bingo News
Gaming sites like Rogers Bingo, know only too well that bingo players love promotions and offers, therefore they make it their business to continually bring something new to the market to keep players interested. New sites like Rogers Bingo obviously have to work that much harder to attract and keep their new players and so they work even harder. This is great news for online bingo players because they know that they can almost guarantee an exciting promotion that will be outside of the usual box.

‘Bingo raiders’ -- friend or foe?
- 28 Sep 11
Bingo News
It is the issue that has divided the online bingo community in two. To explain a little, “Raiding” a bingo site is where a player participates in games in more than one online bingo room simultaneously. They book tickets for a game, but then leave the room. Whereas some sites disapprove wholeheartedly of it, others have actively embraced it, and even made a chat game out of the activity.

Bingo News
In amongst the recent news stories of dishonest bingo players and a rather upsetting story of a 61 year old bingo player being sexually assaulted on her way home in Ireland, there comes happier news of bingo and slots winners. Of course bingo is like any other activity there are good and bad stories that pop up from time to time…. We would prefer to focus on the good for a moment; and how much better can the good stories get, than those of lucky winners.
Is it rude not to join in online bingo chat?
- 23 Sep 11
Bingo News
To chat or not to chat, that is the question. When you play online bingo, do you think it is rude not to participate? There is no doubt about it, many people are attracted to Internet bingo because of the social aspect. Bingo chat rooms are a brilliant way to meet new friends, to gossip, and to relax at the end of the day. Well-trained chat moderators ensure a happy, fair atmosphere, whilst running regular chat games, where roomies can earn free bingo points.
Which is better? A new or established bingo site?
- 21 Sep 11
Bingo News
With so many new bingo sites springing up, and several hundred for the UK bingo player to choose from alone, it is easy to see how one could get lost with the huge variety of choice.
Firstly, playing at an established online bingo site like Mecca Bingo means you know you are already in safe hands. The roomies have had time to get to know each other, and the chat moderators are up to speed with their duties. Players will also be familiar with chat games, rules and regulations. However, if a bingo site is well-established, there is a possibility it could rest on its laurels, and not try as hard to please its members. This could mean smaller deposit bonuses and less of a commitment to customer care. It could also mean busier chat rooms and more players, meaning less chance of a big win. This isn't a problem when you play at the Mecca Bingo site because they are continually working hard to excite the player with new offers, but sadly this isn't always the case.
How to Budget for Online Bingo
- 20 Sep 11
Bingo News
Online bingo is meant to be an enjoyable and fun experience. But because you are also staking a wager and playing for real cash prizes, fun can turn into an excessive behaviour when you're primary goal changes from having fun to chasing a specific prize. This is when most players find themselves in trouble with over depositing.
Given most of us who play bingo online have families and other responsibilities such as pay bills, grocery, rent, emergencies, travel and entertainment; it's always in our best interest to ensure we know how much we can use towards bingo games on a monthly bases and be responsible not to go over the limit we've set for ourselves.
Chat Master Contest at Rogers Bingo concludes
- 19 Sep 11
Bingo News
One of the key roles in making a good online bingo site great, is that of the Chat Hosts. These amazing people most often are avid online bingo players, who have the personality and the skills to make their passion for the online bingo game their career. Keeping a busy chat room entertained, informed, happily chatting, and sometimes disciplined, is not always the easiest task and is certainly not something for the faint-hearted. Generally to become a Chat Host, players with a keen interest in becoming a CH will join sites that advertise industry vacancies or possibly apply to well-known sites directly. The positions will usually be home-based and provide an hourly rate of pay – though there are some sites that don’t pay. However players who have fancied themselves as a frustrated chat host, have more recently had another method to try to gain a tentative foot in the door of Chat Hosting.
Nicked, for nicking cash to play Tombola Bingo

Bingo News
Tombola Bingo has got its name up in lights but sadly not for the reasons that the marketing team might like. A story published in the Blackpool Gazette reports that Lynn Barnes from Blackpool has been sent to prison after being found guilty of stealing £30,000. The money that was stolen was cash received from clients, who believed they were investing in property abroad; however their cash was frittered away by the guilty woman for personal expenses, including playing online bingo at Tombola.
