You have to smile at the Daily Mail. I’ve moaned about their hypocrisy before on this site with their crusade against casinos and gambling. You just have to look at the way their recent negative campaigns and stories about gambling to see their hypocrisy, especially as they’ve just launched their own online bingo site (again). […]

The advert is being filmed on the streets of Liverpool, with 180 extras rolling giant Bingo balls down the road whilst there’s nods to the defunct Bingo language that online bingo likes […]
Wink Bingo Press Advert Banned
Just a quick note on the latest Bingo themed Advertising Standards Agency ruling. Spotted earlier that one of Wink Bingo’s press adverts has been banned by the ASA.

Stereotypes In The Press Again!

Hot Weather…Cold Weather…You Can Never Win In Bingo!
