Bingo Hideout

There's loads going on at 888 Ladies Bingo this June, including a contingency plan to surprise your man by joining in with all the football mayhem this month. 888 Ladies Bingo have taken the sensible notion of “if you can't beat ‘em, join ‘em” to the Euro Championship and are encouraging their players to do the same - after all who needs to be a footie widow, when you can get away with a few extra bingo games with your brownie points?

A day at the races

Better still there are lots of fantastic promos going on too including a chance to win a pair of VIP tickets to Ascot. This cool prize not only gives you the perfect excuse to show off your best outfit in front of Celebs and Royalty but it’s also a reason to buy a new hat to complete the look.

With all the football support you will have given to your other half by the time this prize comes round, there's no way he could refuse to accompany you round the shops. And since you'll be spending your £200 gift voucher, he'll have even less reason to complain.

Foxy online bingo is 3

June sees Foxy Bingo's third birthday celebrations in full swing and with the chance to win a Fiat Punto or a Caribbean Cruise, there's everything for loyal roomies to play for.

One of our favourite community-orientated sites, Foxy has made a landmark decision on its birthday, which should have a positive affect on all of its loyal players. The choice to cease vying for new players in the ever increasing 'sign-up wars' is an example we hope other sites will follow - and soon.

Short term perks, long-term losses

Sign-up bonuses to online bingo sites have become the equivalent of the enticing 6-month interest free choice on a new credit card. Inevitably with the ever-increasing flood of sign-up bonuses on offer after the time is up (or in the case of online bingo sites after the free cards are played) people move on to the next freebie offer. All of which does nothing for player retention numbers. More annoyingly for loyal players free games used momentarily by passers-by can mean the huge jackpots can be swiped by someone who is never heard from again, while roomies wait for PJP's to build up again.

For proof that UK players of online bingo really do have the biggest and warmest hearts, you need look no further than the amazing success of the UK's first charity bingo site. Bingo Hideout has championed this site since its launch and is pleased to announce its ongoing success. With a huge number of players signing on every month, Big Heart Bingo is able to give 50% of its takings to charities voted for by the players.

Everyone's a winner

The cool thing about playing on this site is the knowledge that even when you don't win it big in any of their fantastic games, someone else will. Without the ongoing support of regulars this site wouldn't be able to support some of the most important causes here in the UK so Bingo Hideout recommend players to join up and use their free £10 as soon as possible. You will also receive up to £200 on your first deposit on this site - generous by most accounts. With the minimum deposit amount set at a tiny £5 and tickets costing as little as 10p, everyone has the chance to help a charity while having fun on this fab site. You will of course be collecting bonus points while in play as with other non-charitable sites so you can benefit twice and still give to others.

The live bingo industry is facing so many problems at the moment that we at Bingo Hideout are wondering whether the surprise announcement by Gala Bingo is the first sign of a turning tide for those companies with a lot currently invested in the live bingo industry.

Effects of the non-negotiable taxes on bingo and increases in petrol after the blow of the smoking ban shouldn't be underestimated, and with the increasing availability of bingo through various new media the game is undergoing change that is unprecedented in its history since its last historical resurgence in the UK during the Second World War.

Great online bingo CMs

The latest results at the time of writing indicated that on the CM of the Month leader board the lovelies at Bingo Liner had made a remarkable recovery moving up 6 places in the international CM leader board to 1st place.

As one of our members’ favourite sites, the CMs at Bingo Liner are always hugely popular and are recognised across the board to be some of the best online at the moment, but what is the factor that marks the difference between a good CM and a brilliant one who moves players enough to vote for their performance in their room?
