And how? Deposited £10 through Dream Bingo that’s how. This afternoon, as I haven’t had time to play online up until now, I thought I’d see what was new and so I came across Dream Bingo. Deposit £10 and they would give you £20 on top. Started in one of the less occupied room and straight in with max tickets at 20p per ticket. Started to see the same 3 or 4 names winning in succession, and as always if you see the same names, they’re buying the same amount of tickets (easy to spot here when you see the same few names in the leaderboard as you while you’re maxing out the tickets). CM was incredibly perky, telling the room that she had been doing the job for 6 years and how she hadn’t seen someone win the progressive jackpot as easy as it was won about 20 mins previously to me joining the site. The winner was still there and still shaking like a leaf for winning nearly £2k (that’s when I love online bingo the most). Small jackpots here to win from £2 a line upwards, but still a nice little return if you win the full house amount. CM kept the mood light with extra little games to win extra bingo bonuses, and I think if you’re only using the site to socialise, then that’s great. If you’re using them to make a little money, then you may not need to worry about going for these.

Remember when you buy tickets that to speculate is to accumulate – so that’s what I’ve always done and 99% of the time always had a return. But remember – you do not have to wager lots of money though. Only ever wager what you can lose just incase. I will only always wager £10-£20 per site.

Well I didn’t win on 1 or 2 lines or full house on this first game, but I won 1 line in the next, then 2 lines in the next, nothing for another 3 games, then 1 line, and 2 lines, last 2 games were 50p per ticket. Maxed out tickets, and got 1 line in the first, and full house in the second lol!! Total deposit today £10, total made £80.43, profit today £70.43. Thanks Dream Bingo. Back soon!

Well I’ve had fun playing online bingo today – joined Metro Bingo, deposited £10, maxed out on the cards as well as playing the slots and won myself £14 in a matter of minutes. Their mini slot game is also a great game – have won quite a bit through mini slots before but this time I won £3 on it on the first go (15p per max spin). Yay! This one is for playing during my lunch break though as the chat room is quite bouncy and fun, and eating my salad while playing at chatting to the girls and guys in there would be a treat (as well as winning).

An hour later, I was still itching to do some winning, so joined Jackpot City Bingo – and oooooo I love this one. Virtue Fusion bingo sites are made in seriously beautiful colours, but the bingo cards are so very tacky looking unfortunately. In for a penny though… Deposited £15, then settled myself in the “Speedy Gonzalez” game. This was great fun. The bingo caller goes at lightening speed so the game is over within about a min. Maxed out on first game as it was 10p per card, and won 1 line immediately getting myself £4.15, won 2 lines next getting me £2.02. Didn’t max out though on second game as it was 25p per card, but almost immediately won the jackpot of £19. So nice tidy profit for me of just over £19 for near enough two mins games. Lol.

Good News for Cheeky Bingo – they won 2 awards at the 4th Annual Online Bingo Summit that finished yesterday in London. Best Newcomer 2009 and Best Innovation Award 2009 for their free online bingo games! Well deserved. Considering they have only been around since February 2009, Cheeky Bingo has been welcomed with open arms to the thousands of online bingo players that the UK happens to have.

Cheeky Bingo, offer you the opportunity to play free online bingo at their site every single day of the week. Free bingo games run from 8am in the morning through until midnight and when you play free online bingo you will play for real cash prizes that can be withdrawn. “We’re delighted to win the award,” said Ben Starr, Head of Sales and Marketing, “We put a lot of work into the Cheeky Bingo concept and it was a big risk strongly marketing our free play rooms. Who wouldn’t want to play for free and win for real? Although it makes it more competitive for us, we are flattered that a couple of sites sharing the same concept have entered the market. We had high hopes for Cheeky Bingo but the uptake has astounded us all.”

Congratulations to Cheeky Bingo!!! Belle x x x

Gala Bingo seem in trouble I see. With the tax increasing, huge debts and gaming rules and regs will bring them nearly to their knees.

The owners of Gala have said their investment in the company is nothing albeit giving the company a much needed boost of £120 million+ in May last year. The company is in debt by approx £4bn and £80m of that is supposed to be paid back to the creditors by the end of this year, with another £150bn due again 12 months later.

They pulled out of the BA, decided against the National Bingo Game instead giving us their own High Five Jackpot and cancelled their membership for the British Casino Association, Remote Gambling Association and the British Bookmakers Association.

It certainly doesn’t help with the tax being raised from 15% to 22% (it’s only bingo that’s taxed mind you – other gaming such as betting and casinos only have to pay 15%)- that on it’s own will cost them as much as £7m in extra tax. The only way to recoup that type of payment is to lay workers off. Another great idea Alastair Darling!

Let’s just hope that they continue to push the boundaries as stay one of our national treasures despite having all this stuff thrown at them!!
