Some Highlights From The Last Two Years
Whilst it’s great to be back, there’s a lot of stuff that we’ve missed the last couple of years in the bingo world. I thought I’d mention a few things that have struck me in my absence, but that I’ve not had the platform here to celebrate / moan about. Here’s a few things that […]
Back In Business, The Return Of Playing Bingo
You’d be forgiven for thinking the site had gone the way of the dodo the last couple of years. I’m as shocked it’s taken as long myself. The old blog shut down in April 2010, due to Blogger removing support for FTP publishing. My aim was to take the opportunity to build a new blog, […]

Early Bird Bonus For The 5th Online Bingo Summit
You’ll have to excuse the lack of action around these parts recently, there’s a couple of big things happening at the moment that are affecting my ability to post here.

Playtech Snap Up Virtue Fusion
Online bingo has been rife with takeovers and buyouts recently, and this latest one sees one of the best online bingo providers bought by a wider gaming operator who’s bingo offering is far from satisfactory.
