Posh Bingo

Bingostreet broke the news in an exclusive yesterday about the long-expected massive makeover for one of our dead fave bingo sites, Posh Bingo, and we waited with baited breath all day for the beautiful phoenix to step out of the flames, but a few technical hiccups delayed the launch which had originally been scheduled for noon.

Posh Bingo finally launched yesterday evening, and you’ve never seen such a total makeover for an online bingo site in your life. Take a trip with your mouse to www.PoshBingo.com and see for yourself. I must admit I did pop in to the new Posh Bingo last night to try out their free bingo games, and yes, they really are free!

The beautiful chocolatey-pink colour scheme is probably the first thing you’ll notice, this bingo site is really decked-up to the nines, celebrating everything that is posh, including a cheeky little madam of a poodle right next to the new bingo site logo, nice touch.

The second thing that hit me was the Free Bingo games plastered all over the bingo site, and we’re not just talking one or two free bingo games a day, Posh Bingo have now got 2 dedicated free bingo rooms, no deposit required, where you win random cash jackpots all day every day, a wonderful idea for bingo fans who are struggling with the credit crunching gloom.

So we’ve got a brand new wardrobe, and non-stop free bingo games, what else? Well the biggest news is that Posh Bingo has finally got its very own bingo network, which means the folks behind the scenes have got the freedom to offer bingo fans much more choice, with unique bingo games, exciting bingo promotions and bingo jackpots, without having to tow the line.

And Posh Bingo has already broken away from the crowd, only the 2nd bingo site that I’m aware of to provide 2 dedicated bingo rooms to non-stop free bingo games every day. Along with the free bingo games, you’ll find tons of penny bingo games, 1p, 2p, 3p, 5p, 10p bingo games – all in all, a great range of online bingo games tailored for the gloomy depression we’re living through atm. But you’ll also find a ton of big bingo games with really juicy jackpots up for grabs, so it doesn’t really matter about the state of your bingo budget, Posh Bingo caters for everyone.

The beauty of having your own network, gives a bingo site the freedom to choose exactly what bingo games it’ll offer, along with unique bingo promotions and top bingo bonuses, all in all, I think bingo fans will be very happy with the re-birth of Posh Bingo, I know I can’t wait to get stuck in again tonight and have a real explore!

Friday 13

Sun Bingo are really revving up the hot bingo action of late, and although I don’t usually play bingo online at Sun Bingo (my favourite site is Wink Bingo), recently they’ve been coming up with some really cool bingo promotions that push my bingo buttons in all the right places!

One great advantage that Sun Bingo has is the sheer number and variety of internet bingo games plus extra games on hand. There is an awful lot to choose from which means us bingo players have a lot more freedom to decide what bingo games to play and when.

This week for instance there’s a chance to win a supercool £1000 jackpot every night at 9pm in the Sun Bingo 90 game - this special online bingo promotion is only on for one week, so I’d thoroughly advise you guys and gals to get down there ASAP and buy your bingo tickets now!

Friday 13th is also another excellent opportunity for bingo sites to pull out the lucky promotions on this traditionally unlucky day, and Sun Bingo will double your winnings if you bingo on #13 this Friday.

That's a great offer isn't it?

Online bingo stats

Some 50,000 of the estimated 3 million land-based bingo players now play bingo online. 90% of these are below the age of 50, dispelling the myth that bingo is for the older generation. 85% of online players are women.

If you go into an online bingo site and enter the chat room, you will find that there are significantly more female players there than male players. That's why most online bingo sites target women aged 35-54 with their advertising.

A recent survey commissioned by St Minver Ltd, showed that the UK was third in a list behind the US and Japan of countries with the highest propensity playing online bingo.

One of the biggest bingo software providers, Parlay Entertainment undertook a survey of the bingo market together with UK bingo players. It derived from its product that of the $150 million global market, the US provided 85% of revenues, whereas the UK was the fastest growing online market.

While the market is growing fast, still only 1% of UK land-based players played online, showing that many have still not made the transition to online bingo.

Online Bingo Strategy

The best strategy is being lucky like me :) But there is a strategy for those too, who didn't born to be a bingo winner:

I’ve got a few pointers for you to increase your chances of winning when you play bingo online. There are two main types of bingo games, in this article I’ll discuss the 75 ball bingo variety and how you can better your chances of hitting those cool bingo jackpots.

In 75 ball bingo, you have a chance of 1 in 75 of getting a ball when the game of bingo online starts. Let’s take a look at how the game of 75 ball bingo is played.

When you play bingo online of the 75 ball variety, your bingo cards or tickets have a random selection of 25 numbers. During the bingo game the numbers will be called out one by one, until a line, full house or pattern is won during play. In online bingo this means that you have several chances to win the jackpot before someone else does. Each time a bingo number is drawn it’s posted on the screen and you can either manually check your bingo cards or use the handy auto-daub feature that most bingo online websites offer.

So if the first number to be called is I 8, you can make the following deductions. You already know that in 75 ball bingo there are 7 balls that end in the number 8. If 8 is on your bingo card, then there are 6 bingo balls left that will end in 8. This means your chance of getting another 8 is lower than for other numbers. Also, because 8 is an even number, your chances are further reduced as the number of remaining even bingo balls has declined.

Online bingo strategy is a way of looking at the probabilities that one number will appear over another. The online bingo hopper you see on the computer screen is run by a Random Number Generator, which means that there isn’t a fixed pattern for the next bingo numbers to be called. So if you are serious about improving your winning odds when you play bingo online, you need to look at the bingo cards you select.

The odds of drawing 25 winning online bingo numbers from 75 bingo balls before anyone else are not that high. However if you pay attention when you select your cards, you can increase your winning chances.

So if one of your online bingo card choices shows the numbers 1 to 5 on the first row, in terms of probability you would do well to leave this card alone, however it’s still possible that these could very well be the winning bingo numbers. You’ll find that the best online bingo players select bingo cards with an even scattering of even and odd, high and low numbers. Some even suggest that as more bingo balls are drawn the numbers left in the bingo hopper will be closer to 38, but this is an unproved bit of bingo gossip.

Choose your bingo online cards wisely and you could find that you’re hitting the online bingo jackpots a lot more frequently!

Online Bingo

The online bingo world developed a lot since I started to play. It's not only about playing bingo, you can chat or play games just for fun .

I had my hard times as gambling can be a heavy addiction. But I am responsible now and I know my limits.

Bingo is sometimes not considered to be a responsible game. After all when you play bingo you are wagering money on a minimal chance to win. This doesn’t detract from the game however, for many of the players. Instead this seems to be part of the challenge. Unfortunately there are times where gambling online anywhere can become an addiction. Bingo is typically not seen as the topmost gambling addiction, but there are still some responsible bingo gaming tips we can offer to help you avoid this potential problem.
These tips are going to help you be more aware of the bingo games that you are playing, to help you wager better and more effectively. You should also keep in mind your overall monthly online bingo budget, this way you should find it easy to keep track of how much you spend, and to not to spend more than you can afford when you play bingo online.
The first and most important tip to play bingo responsibly, is to set your wagering limits. Before you start to play bingo, you should choose an amount that you are comfortable with to play with. Bingo games have varying ticket prices, you can find games that start from as little as 1p a ticket, or bigger jackpot bingo games with tickets priced around the £1 mark. If £1 is too much for you, then you should be checking out the smaller bingo game, so that you don’t go over your bingo budget.
Please also keep in mind that some bingo games might state that the ticket price is just £1, but there is a minimum purchase of 5 tickets, which means that you’re having to fork out £5 instead of just £1. So if you’re struggling with the rest of us under the state of the economy at the moment, it makes very good sense to stick to the lower priced bingo rooms and play bingo games that you can afford. This is a very responsible attitude, and if you stick to this basic rule you should not go astray.
Another important tip for helping you to play bingo responsibly, is to keep an eye on your account history. You’ll find that most, if not all, online bingo sites keep records of your bingo game play and also of your deposits and cashouts to and from your online bingo account. Keep tabs on how much you spend playing bingo online a week, a month, and then work out if the amount is easily affordable, or should you be cutting back slightly, or even a lot? It’s important to monitor your bingo account history regularly to keep track of your spending, and then you can easily adjust as you go along, to find a balance that suits you best.
The last tip on playing bingo online responsibly is simply to play bingo games as a hobby. Do not look upon your bingo games as a way to earn money. Don’t think that the massive bingo jackpots that you see advertised all over the bingo sites have your name on them. Bingo is a form of gambling, and though you can have some great runs of luck as with all gambling games, it will never become something that you can depend upon to pay your bills. Bingo players do get lucky all the time, however the chances of winning a big bingo jackpot are relatively small. So if you maintain the right attitude, and keep playing bingo online as a hobby and an enjoyable pasttime when you can relax and chat to your bingo buddies while you play bingo, this is the best attitude you can have, and will keep you out of trouble.
