Play For A Million? Read The Small Print First!

A number of big sites are currently heavily promoting the one million pound Bingo prize. It's played twice weekly on a number of UK online Bingo networks. Playing for a prize of that size would have anyone's pulse pounding.

Castle Bingo Review & Special Offer (Free Money!)

I've just written a review of Castle Bingo - they're my local chain of Bingo halls, and I was eager to give their relatively new online offering a good work over to see if they lived up to my expectations. They did - and I'm happy to recommend them here for their range of value and features. Read the full review here.
