Sigh… There’s been a whole slew of Bingo adverts on the TV recently, and not a single one of them has managed to move me to write anything positive about them. Instead all I’m seeing is cliché after cliché trotted out to try and inspire me to try one cookie cut Bingo site after another. […]

Bingo For Breakthrough 2008 Kicks Off
Without the NBGA Bingo Caller Of The Year competition to remind me of the time of the year, I’d forgotten it was time for that other now popular annual event, Breakthrough For Bingo. Once again, clubs up and down the country will be turning pink for Bingo For Breakthrough Week – which this year will […]
New Report On UK Bingo Clubs
Just spotted a new market report on UK Bingo clubs, thought it was worth a mention. Unfortunately, at £450, I’m not likely to read the report any time soon, but I’m sure it will come in useful for some bigger Bingo businesses out there. The report by Snapdata International Group includes the following sections of […]

Well, as Autumn is almost upon us, and the little ones are back at school, I’ve been caught up launching a site in time for Halloween and catching up with work from over the summer holidays. I’ve got some great new content lined up for the site the next couple of weeks, but more about […]

Well, after all the speculation, the new Sun Bingo has launched. It’s early days, the site has only been online less than an hour, but I thought I would give a brief review of what new Sun Bingo players can expect. Forget about my concerns about it being like Jackpot Joy, they have managed to […]

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). […]
Big Bingo Balls For Ladbrokes Bingo
Well, more advertising news from you from the online bingo world, this time looking at the filming of Ladbrokes Bingo’s next advertising campaign. 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. The advert featured a nurse in a maternity ward playing Bingo online rather than attending to her patient. The headline read ‘Find An Appropriate Moment.’ The complain […]
MP In Fails To Get Foxy Bingo Advert Banned
Keeping it online bingo advertising related, I’ve just spotted this report in The Guardian about the infamous (around these parts at least) Foxy Bingo advert. Don Foster, the Liberal Democrat culture spokesman complaint centres around the advert’s promoting of the £10 free offer at Foxy Bingo (which is no longer available). The MP complain that […]
Rank Profits Down, Guoco And Genting Shareholdings Up
