Halloween is just around the corner, only another two days to go, have you got your costume sorted out yet? This festival is fright night and William Hill Bingo has got just the right spooktacular offerings to keep you tricking and treating all night long.

Some malevolent meddling is going to be taking place in the Poltergiest Games, and they appear at the top of the hour, so hopefully if you win, you will be treated to extra prize money. If not and you fall prey to a trick, then don’t freak out, because all games from 11 to 11am and 8 – 9pm sees the Time for a Treat being offered and you will be entitled to a free scratchie which may allow you to win up to a tenner. Just make sure when you play games during this time, you buy at least 6 cars so you can qualify for the free scratch card.

Dare to play in the OoooooooH games in the community room, because if you bingo on an “0” you will win an extra £10. There is going to be all kinds of scary going’s on all day on Saturday 31st October, so enter into the spirit of things and make sure you play at William Hill Bingo. You have also got plenty to look forward to in November, because after the weekend, you can play free bingo on Monday. Do this and forget your Monday blues because with five hours of free bingo on offer in the Monday Mania promotion, you won’t have to spend a single penny of your own money. With the super real cash prizes on offer, make sure you get your share. Games take place in the Bargain Basement for two hours in the morning and three hours in the evening, each game has £15 in the prize pot, so what have you got to lose?

In the last post I talked about a new bingo site I found called BOGOF bingo which had an interesting brand name and concept that worked really well together, the site itself was a good experience.

Today’s post is about another site I discovered that seems to be causing some chit chat by bingo industry figureheads and the site hasn’t even launched yet. Do you know which site I am talking? No? Okay if I said have a cup of tea and play some bingo, would that help? In case you didn’t know, I am talking about Tea and Bingo, the online bingo site that has got industry head talking. I first heard of the site when coming across a response blog post called Tea and Bingo … Which Bingo Rumour Mill by Bingo Base, from there lots of reviews started making their into Google, I found the following interesting:
•    Bingo Base presents a Tea and Bingo Review
•    Tea and Bingo Reviewed by Free Bingo
•    SFS’s Tea and Bingo Review

Putting a side the industry chit chatter; a question that should be asked about a bingo website called Tea and Bingo. Is Bingo and Tea really an award winning combination?

Choosing a name for an online bingo site can’t be easy, but these guys chose really well when they decided to call their new site BOGOF Bingo. I mean it doesn’t get more succinct, does it? By the way, for those of you who don’t know what this means, it means Buy One Get One Free. So essentially, during an eleven hour session, every game at this site you buy a ticket for, you get one free and this gives you twice the chance of winning, what more could you ask for?

There are a couple of different BOGOF rooms, BOGOF Happy and BOGOF heaven, and each of these rooms ahs their bingo sessions at different times, so you can make the absolute best of these games. Check out the schedule at the site if you want to take advantage of these games, and believe me, you do!
These games are not the only benefits that members of this site are given, there is plenty more on offer and all of them designed to give members as much value for money as possible. Free bingo, is just that…FREE, you don’t pay any money for these tickets and you can win fantastic cash prizes. There is a special free room where you can play these games daily, but do bear in mind you have to be a depositing member to play. There is £1000 a day to be given away in free bingo sessions which run from 11am till12 midday and 11pm till 12 midnight. So make sure you get your share of all this free lolly. You can’t buy advanced tickets into these games (not that you actually buy them, you book them), you must be live in the room when the games play, and you can’t really afford not to play these games, it is money for jam!

We already know that 888 Ladies Bingo players are special, but the Gold ladies are extra special and because of this; to compliment the current X Factor madness taking place at this site, they have something special on offer for the Gold ladies. You have to play the new game, X Factor Steps to Stardom, and this game is taking the world of online bingo by storm. There is both a slots and a scratch card version of the game, and playing both of these games could just see winners getting their hands on some VIP tickets to see pre-show sound checks on the 30th October.

You have to deposit and wager £50 in this exclusive offer, play these games on the 25th October and collect raffle tickets. Collect as many of these tickets as you can and you may be one of the lucky fifty ladies taking part in the Grand Draw. This prize offers exclusive access to the show.
But this in not the only X Factor prize that can be won, they are offering a full 7 weeks of gaming where tickets to the sound checks can be won. This competition is at fever pitch and 888 ladies have already started winning. One winner has already enjoyed her prize and she says she is going to play madly again to try and get her hands on more tickets so she can go back.

If you are a fan of this reality show, you can get all the latest behind the scenes gossip at 888 Ladies Bingo, they have set up a special blog, this blogger knows her stuff too. You can quite literally gorge on gossip, and every Saturday night you are invited to attend the X Factor after party in Studio 75.

Saturday swipes is not the activities that burglars get up to while you are out at the local pub, this is the promotion that Gone Bingo offers every single week on a Saturday. This is basically like swiping a virtual loyalty card and receiving a surprise gift, guaranteed. They have up to 5 000 worth of bingo points, cash prizes of up to £5 000, iPhones, iPods, LCD TV’s and laptops to give away in this promotion, you have to play in Saturday swipes, but make sure you are a depositing player at the site, this promotion is for loyal members.

The name Gone Bingo is synonymous with relaxation and having fun, just like “Gone Fishing” is. They are dedicated to making sure their loyal members stay loyal and know how much their valuable custom is appreciated. To properly show their appreciation they have free games on offer with £20 fixed prize pots. These are games that everyone can afford to play, because they cost nothing, and they are also games that nobody can afford to miss, because they have fixed prize pots. Either way you have absolutely nothing to lose when you play free bingo for real cash prizes.

There is more than one way of getting free bingo games at this site, because if you trade your LP’s to by bingo tickets, you also don’t have to pay for them. You also get a free lucky number if you make a deposit of £20 or more, and this lucky number can be very important. Get to Gone Bingo to see how! Get double treats on Sundays when you play slots, because you can earn 10% cash back and the new Dragons Fire game is a must play, in fact it is the hottest new slots game we have seen for a while, play it, but only if you dare, brave the Dragons Fire!!

This week at Foxy Bingo the top slots players could stand a chance of winning cash prizes, but not only if they win on slots games, a 5 day tournament starts to see which Foxy Bingo player has the X-Factor, so forget free bingo for the next five days!

The whole country has gone X-Factor crazy and one by one, all the major online bingo sites have been launching the new X-Factor game, together with corresponding promotions. This game has nine pay lines, and three bonus rounds including “Live Finals” and “Boot Camp”. This is a brand new game which offers massive cash prizes and you will find it available at the site today, in the bingo lobby, with all the other instant win games.

The X-Factor 5 Day Tournament has launched today, Wednesday 21st October, and it runs until Sunday the 25th. There is £2 500 worth of cash prizes available of £500 each to mark each day of the contest. If you think you have the X-Factor, meaning what it takes to win, take part in the tourney. To qualify you have to wager £50 or more in the game, over 20 spins, on any given day.

Ten players with the best scores every day will win their £50 back, so you have nothing to lose really! These scores are calculated as a percentage, so it is your winnings, minus your wagers times by 100, to come out at a percentage value. The players with the highest percentage values will be listed the next day, so if you play X-Factor at Foxy Bingo, keep your eyes peeled to see if you are a winner.

While you are playing at this site, remember they are still in the process of raising funds for the Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign, so be sure and support this worthy cause.

Wednesdays is Everyone’s a Winner day at Virgin Bingo, this ensures that every member who plays on a Wednesday, wins something. There is nothing like the disappointment of trying, time and again and not winning. So this promotion is designed to make you feel a bit better when you don’t win.

It is not much, but it is the thought that counts and as all losers get this, it is just a little cash bonus to say thank you for playing at Virgin. It is worth 50p and you will find this money in your account the next day. If you use it in the penny games, you can buy 50 tickets and you may well end up turning these pennies into pounds. The promotion starts at 0:00am and ends at 23:59 on the Wednesday night.

This week you can also win an extra £10 when you play in Marrakesh. There is the launch of a new mini-game being celebrated in this room, and its called “Dolphin Reef”. Because of this launch everyone has the opportunity to increase their Full House prize money. To do this you have to win a full house on any “bubble number”. These are numbers which end in zero, so 10, 20, 30…get the idea? This bonus promotion applies to any and every cash game taking place in Marrakesh the whole week long, so make sure you get your share of this free bingo money being offered.

This promotion ends on the 25th October, so you have a few days yet to take advantage of all those extra tenners being offered. You will receive this bonus free bingo money on the following day, not the same day as you would with the full house prize, so make sure you read and understand the T&C’s.

According to the 888 Ladies Bingo site, they have got the X Factor, I really don’t know if they care whether Simon Cowel agrees with them or not, they are making this claim and putting their money where their mouth is. So frenzied are they about their new X Factor promotions, that they have created a special X Factor tab for it. So if you want to know the gossip and what’s going on you can find it out here, and at the same time you can join in the fun and games and have a go at the promotions to win some stunning X Factor prizes.

All of this brougha has been contrived to coincide with the launch of the X Factor Steps to Stardom games at the site. These are a video slot and a scratchie, so for seven full weeks, you can play either of these games and in some instances both, to have a chance of winning prizes in a number of draws. These prizes comprise of exclusive VIP tickets to the results show every week and some other goodies too. There is a grand final draw for pre-show sound checks and all that X Factor stuff that goes on.  You need to read the competition schedule at the site if you fancy having a go at these prizes, and if you are and X Factor fan, there may be no easier way to get your hands on these tickets and also get a chance to win on some games.

For those of you who aren’t bothered about this TV Reality Show, no worries, you can still play your free bingo games, and get those lucky dabbers warmed up, because this Saturday at 888 Ladies, there is £10 000 in cash up for grabs! See site for more details.

As per usual Game Village Bingo is going all out to make October and Halloween one of the best times of the year. This site really gets into the theme of things when events such as this are on the cards, and when no events are scheduled they make up their own. Much like August when they were tired of waiting for Christmas, so they decided to create Christmas in August!

This month, one of the very special offers is the Wicked Star Reward. Every month members have to collect star rewards to earn extra money, free bingo or prizes and this month, you have to collect 25 stars a week.

Do this and you will be entered into a draw to win two tickets to see the hit West End musical – Wicked. This show is so apt for the month of Halloween too, because it is all about wicked witches as well as wizards (let’s not forget the male of the species). The lucky winner will be announced on the 2nd of November and someone is going to be traveling up to London with a guest in tow to see this delightful show.

There are Halloween cash backs available in the casino at Game Village Bingo too, so if you play every day during October, you can receive 10% cash back on all your losses of £10 or more. This could be worth £100 to you! There is also a Ghouls special playing on the 31st October!

The hot balls this month are Spooky Hot Balls worth £200 in the Village Inn, and the deposit game is the Lucky 13. So anyone making a deposit in October; make sure it goes through at 13 past the hour. This way you can win a random prize, it could be free bingo cards, points, a promotional gift or even cash, so time your deposits well, 13 is going to be your lucky number in October.

This week there have been some really fantastic winners at Jackpot Joy Bingo, but then this really is the BIG winning site. Last night saw one of the best wins ever when at 6:55pm Claire J from Kent won a massive prize in Bingo Gold. This was the unbelievable amount of £119,329, and it is going to make sure that her life changes somewhat. Winning life changing amounts of money is done all the time at Jackpot Joy bingo and this just happens to be the second largest bingo win to take place.

There have been people at Jackpot Joy who have won much larger amounts, but not while playing bingo. Generally speaking the biggest prize game is Deal or No Deal, and this game has made a couple of millionaires during the time that I have been writing about this UK bingo site.

The site has not been able to talk to the latest big winner as yet, but the moment they do, we will let you have the full story. Imagine that feeling of watching your screen and seeing a bingo win of £119,329 going into your account. It must be an indescribable feeling, I feel great when I win £10, don’t you?

Claire was not the only big winner at Jackpot Joy Bingo last week, Alan B also scooped a cool £2 545 and Graham C managed a fabulous £3 540 win. Gina M got a fantastic £325 and Janice R won £845, Mark W did even better with a  win of £6 040 and there are plenty more winners, who knows, you might be next? This is definitely a BIG winning site and they have given away millions of pounds worth of prize money. Well done to all the prize winners and don’t spend it all at once!
