Thursday, March 12, 2009I've been seeing an increasing amount of spam recently for something called Bingo Bonus Blaster, a so-called no-risk system for making it big playing online bingo. Intrigued by the premise I set off to find out more. It seems the people behind this system are going on a big hype offensive - the site for the system is a massive sales letter type affair promising riches and success. And if this hackneyed approach to online selling hasn't caught you, the people behind the product have been busy dropping comments and forum posts on the system in a vein attempt to give it some fake word-of-mouth credibility.
Why do I say fake, well, spammers on the forum have mentioned how well they've done with the system. However, having signed up with an email that's from the domain being plugged, they ain't fooling anyone. The system comes in the form of a downloadable eBook, punted on a site that makes claims to give you a "no-risk" way of making lots of money playing bingo. The eBook is £19.55, sold through the notoriously scammy 'get-rich-quick' enabler Clickbank. My suspicions were already off the radar with dated and spammy sales pitch, and actually reading the content of the eBook, that radar became an air-raid siren.
I can see a lot of bingo players being taken in by the hype, which is why I found it necessary to look into myself. I have a real problem with this eBook as it's inaccurate and misleading. The system can be boiled down to this simple premise, play in quiet rooms, max out your tickets, roll your winnings over to other sites with bigger bonuses and repeat the process.
A lot of what's in there is little more than common sense, but the problem arises because the book gives the impression that you cannot lose following the strategies in it. I would disagree, and I disagree from my own experience of trying out lots of new sites. Now, I've been doing what the system suggests for years, and I can say categorically that the inflated claims in the book are as likely to lose you your money as they are to make it for you. In fact just yesterday I was doing the same thing as I always do (as suggested by the eBook,) and didn't win anything.
Other times I've done it and won, sometimes 3 or 4 times in a session, but I'm under no illusions that this is a "no-risk" strategy, it's far from it. Bingo is a game of chance, and although you can improve your chances, it still remains a game of chance. There are a number of inaccurate statements through out the scant eBook. Another regular bingo player I know who has seen the book herself agreed with me. It's poorly written and utter tripe (her words), and little more than the most expensive guide you could spend your money on to learn how to play bingo and take advantage of sign up bonuses.
If you want further proof of how little faith they have about the system, then here's a real gem. Throughout the eBook they give you links to the sites they're suggesting that you play at. These are via affiliate links, which means they will get a cut of the money you spend at those sites if you signed up via those links. Now, if this system is so good, you will be taking all your winnings out of the sites. If you do that, they don't ever make any money through the affiliate scheme. on the other hand, if you play at the sites and don't win anything, they get their cut of what you spend. Think about that.
If you're an online bingo player, and your tempted by the hype, here's my advice, ignore it. You'll feel short changed, the book weighs in at less than 30 pages and that's with lots of large graphics. Hardly worth what they're asking for it, especially given the lack of anything decent inside. If you see other forum or social network members talking about it, remember one thing - they might be the same ones we had here who work for the people behind the book.
Save your twenty quid and do something more fun with it, like playing bingo online maybe? You'd have as much real chance of winning as you would having read the book. And if you want some free bingo bonuses to blast through, Bingo Codes has over £310 of no-deposit required bingo bonuses waiting for you right here.

I agree bingo is a random game and would avoid the strategy myself, however aren't you a little hypocritical as you have a link to a site containing a lot of affiliate links, don't worry I don't expect you to actually post this comment.
Sam
Hypocritical how? I've never tried to hide the fact I run affiliate links on this site or bingo codes. In fact, if you look at the forum there's a section for discussion on being a bingo affiliate, and I've often posted news stories that directly relate to my affiliate work.
The difference is, I'm open about this, I'm not telling people to play at sites as they're guaranteed a "no-risk" chance of losing, then profiting when people do in fact lose. I also test the sites I feature and regularly play at a number of the sites I advertise here also.
And yes, I would actually post your comment as I do any comments we get here that aren't blatant spam or defamation.
Hi
I completely disagree with your review, I did very well with the system and made over £1000.
The ebook can be boiled down to what you say but it states exact rules to follow, these could be seen as common sense which is what most "gambling systems" are.
You say it's 50 / 50 whether you win or lose but the system is all about rinsing bingo bonuses, not beating the odds, and if you do exactly as it says and move onto a new bonus after one has been withdrawn then you have an edge over the bingo sites.
The rules give you best possible chance of winning, the bonuses give you the edge.
Maybe you?re annoyed because you don't want anyone else using the system because you use it.
You say you have been doing this for years but that's very unlikely because there are not enough withdrawable bingo bonuses for you to do that.
Sian says she has looked at every single site on the net and only includes a list of sites that do have a bonus that can be withdrawn. There is less than 20 out of 100's of bingo bonuses.
I found Sian to be helpful and the list of bingo sites with bonuses that can be withdrawn is always up to date. I think the system is well worth £17 and clickbank who you don't like either will give a refund even if you don't like the system, so the guarantee is genuine.
Basically I think you are annoyed Sian "spammed" your forum so you posted a very bad review on your site, your review is not accurate in my eyes it looks like you are simply angry at whatever happened in your forum and you want to get your own back.
I think this system will help bingo players a lot making money from the game and I found Sian to be really nice and wanting to help me make moeny - which I did and not a small amount either!
Pick on someone your own size mate!
Dan
No Dan, I don't use this system, simply because it's nonsense. So you've made over a £1000? Well done mate, just because you did that, doesn't mean that everyone who follows the system will do the same. That's luck for you.
I don't understand how it's a scam?
I have purchased products using clickbank before and if I feel the product is not worth the cash then I will request a refund and I always get my refund!
So to call clickbank scammy is a bit harsh and un-truthful.
I have not used the bingo ebook, but if it's using the "BONUS" only to make money then you can't go wrong as your not wasting your real cash!
I simply don't get how this is all a scam when really, the buyer has nothing to lose?
I would have to agree with Dan, sounds like sour grapes to me.
Hmmm, webmaster - 2nd positive post on the 'system' in a couple of days, I smell some reputation management going on here. Clickbank has a reputation for being the place to buy 'get-rich-quick' schemes and ebooks, most of which are little better than scams, so I stand by that comment.
As for the buyer having nothing to lose, that's simply not true. They stand to waste £19.55 buying this tripe. They're also opening themselves up for continued spam and further dodgy ebooks emailed lovingly and regularly.
Sour grapes don't come into it. I suspect the people behind the company are responsible for these recent posts too. You can get the info in this book for free on the web, and, there are no guarantees this system will work for you. Trying to paint a considered and accurate review as 'sour grapes' just won't wash...
Dio if l would read review like yours some months ago l wouldn't fall in a trap,in my case was in the on line casinos l lost loads of money...They sent me a link for this bingo bonus blaster and of course l'll never believe them or buy this ebook and one more thing you can get refound from clickbank but the on line games won't give you your money back if you lose...Please don't fall in a trap like l did,read the reviews of everything you wanna buy first(you can find on google)and then you can make an acurated decision.Well done Dio Bach
