I missed this one last week, but it’s a heart warming story of love and romance that happened on St Valentine’s Day. It’s an age old story, boy meets girl, both fall for each other, girl proposes on Valentine’s Day in a leap year (because that’s when girls can!) Boy says yes. The only difference […]

Bingo Night Comes To UK TV – Live!
I’m not sure if it’s the same as the American and Australian National Bingo Night show, but the UK will shortly be having it’s own live Bingo programme on terrestrial TV. Bingo Night Live will be a new, free to play TV show airing on ITV in place of the ITV Play programmes. The format […]
More Online Bingo Ads, More Of The Marketplace Alienated…
Why is the vast majority of existing online bingo marketing continuing to get the message so wrong by so heavily targeting the female demographic? I don’t mind saying that it’s getting me cross – I can’t see the sense in trying to sell a product to only 50% of the potential marketplace. Why is online […]
Foxy Bingo To Float, And Sponsoring The Jeremy Kyle Show
I’ve been offline for a couple of days as it’s half term, so I’ve been catching up on stuff today. We seem to have been mentioning Foxy Bingo a lot recently, with their new advert and news of losing Jordan as their figurehead. Well, ever ones to keep themselves in the public eye, there’s big […]
Bingo News Round Up – Conversions, Sales And Taxes
Been a few interesting stories around the last week or so that I haven’t touched on, so I thought I’d just quickly mention them all in one go, headline style. First, news of the fate of two old halls, both of which have been closed for some time. Firstly, the Hayweights Bingo hall in Musselburgh, […]

If you’re a bingo caller, the real flashpoint and problem area of the job is dealing with missed claims. There are a number of reasons why claims can be missed be it quiet calls or late calls. When it happens it can be a moment of disquiet in the audience and you need to be […]
Club Closure News
I’ve spotted a couple of news stories the last week about Bingo clubs closing down. The latest is on the Welsh island of Anglesey. The BBC carries a story of the Empire Cinema in Holyhead having closed. Whilst the piece concentrates on the closure of the cinema, the reason for its closure is the earlier […]
Have Your Say At Brett’s Corner
I had a little jiggle with the site. Brett sent us his latest column, and it made me think I should change things around a bit to give readers the chance to post comments after his pieces. So, I’ve set it up now as a proper blog, which gives everyone and anyone with an interest […]
New National Game Delivers The UK’s Biggest Ever Bingo Win
Near enough 4 months after it was first launched, the National Bingo Game’s million pound Big ‘N’ Prize has finally been won. Congratulations go out to Christine Bradfield from Bargoed at the Merthyr Tydfil Castle Bingo club who won herself her a massive £1.1 million prize. If you hadn’t noticed it already, The Big ‘N’ […]
Bingo Is Not For Him – Men Alienated By Online Marketing And Sites
If you’ve followed my rambles here over the years, you’ll know that one of my continuing bugbears is the way the game is marketed so unimaginatively. The vast majority of advertising around Bingo is aimed exclusively at females. Many online bingo sites echo this bias towards a female demographic, rich in pink colours and feminine […]
