It always amazes us how just one complaint to the Advertising Standards Agency (ASA)can result in a ban for a bingo commercial or marketing campaign that may have cost thousands to create. However, recently it was GRASP (The Gambling Reform and Society Perception Group) who were the complainants, this time about a poster on a […]

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. Virtue Fusion have in the last couple of years become one of my favourite bingo platforms, powering some of the […]
Bingoport.co.uk 2010 Player’s Choice Awards
The evening of Friday the 29th January saw the 2nd Bingoport.co.uk Player’s Choice Awards, held during the 2010 London Affiliate Conference. I was able to attend last year’s event, but due to the pending birth of our 2nd child, I had to miss this event. But fear not, I sent along my colleague to follow […]
2009 Online Bingo Award Nominations Announced
With the 2009 Online Bingo Summit barely weeks away, the nominations have been announced for the 2nd Annual Online Bingo Industry Awards.

More on that in later posts. The main draw for myself happened on Friday night, […]
The End Of The Day Cliché Awards – Online Bingo Advert Clichés
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. […]
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 […]
