First off you should shop around; different sites offer different bingo bonuses and incentives, some offer no deposit cash upon registration whilst other offer cash sums when you deposit a set amount. Butler Bingo is one of the best, they offer you £10 free no deposit bingo and then a 300% match up on your first deposit of £20. Bet 365 will give you a 500% match up and Bucky Bingo 300%, read our reviews to find the best welcome bonus packages on the more reputable online bingo sites. You can also keep up to date with the best bonuses and promotions for the bingo sites in our news section as these will chance continuously.

Once you are signed up to a site and ready to play free bingo look for the games that have the most expensive buy in cards, bingo sites will offer free bingo games which are great for practising and having fun in the bingo community but if you are looking to win big cash prizes you should be looking to pay around 50p or more for a ticket. It is also worth noting that jam packed bingo rooms are usually worth steering clear of, the more players in a room, the less chance you will have of scooping the big jackpot. Head to an evenly balanced room for a better chance of winning, any bingo pro will tell you this, bingo players have their favourite sites and they tend to stick together in a community, if you find a favourite online bingo site then keep going back to it as you will receive generous tips from seasoned players that will help you become a winner (unlike Arsenal last season!).

We checked out the latest new bingo site to hit the UK, Big Brother Bingo, and we were impressed. it’s certainly a site for players who love constant deposit and reload bonuses. Players will no doubt be aware of the TV show of the same name, and can expect the software to make them feel almost like they are in the big brother house itself. Fans of the show can even interact with their Big Brother Bingo housemates on the interactive forum and Polls page.The design, concept and graphics seen at this site closely match the sets of the channel 5 tv show when it’s running. Pretty cool no?

New customers on Big Brother bingo get  two tasty bonuses:

• The Stairway to Swag welcome game gets activated immediately after signing up and will be available for 4 days – giving four daily attempts at a guaranteed bonus prize of 10p to £5 EVERY TIME!.
• The second bingo bonus at Big-Brother bingo is a 200% first deposit bonus(on a first deposit from £5 to £100).

All future deposits of £10 to £100 will also fetch 50% re-deposit bonuses which give players extra cash to play their favourite games.

Two bingo players spotted the senior geomorphologist, who holds a PhD from St Andrews University, and reported him to staff.
A member of Mecca Bingo staff noticed Mr Morocco near his vehicle, bare legged, covered only in a t-shirt. When police were summoned to the scene they discovered the accused with undone trousers in his vehicle. Upon asking him what he was doing, the accused replied “cheap thrills“.

Sheriff Derek O’Carroll admonished Morrocco and told him: “I also find your explanation for having chosen this place to commit the offence bizarre.

Those poor bingo club patrons got to see more balls than they could have imagined on the evening in question! =)

Have you ever seen anything crazy at a bingo hall? We recall fondly the video of the crazy guy trying to bet in a real bricks and mortar casino with marijuana instead of money (youtube video here)!

Mrs Hattersley’s daughter Janet said to the Sunday Sport: “Mum insisted on walking home from the bingo. We were worried she’d be mugged but she said she lived on the outskirts of town – countryside really – and she’d be safe.”

Not only can you play Extreme Bingo online on the Yazino site or Facebook, but Extreme Bingo can also be played on your iPhone or iPad. There are more and more mobile bingo sites entering the market, but Extreme Bingo is a unique game that is way more exciting than a normal bingo game.

What is Extreme Bingo?

Extreme Bingo is an internet bingo game that can be played on the Yazino site or Facebook. The game is just like bingo except there is a whole new aspect to Extreme Bingo. To start a game there needs to be 3 teams of 2 players ready to play. Just like in normal bingo, numbers are called and marked off on your bingo cards. However, in Extreme Bingo there is also a battleboard that players need to worry about.

Each time a number is called if it matches a number on a team’s card the same number on the battleboard will turn to that team’s colour. The goal is for your team to have the most coloured numbers on the battleboard at the end of the game. The player that calls “Bingo” will win 1000 credits and the team with the most coloured boxes will split 2000 credits amongst each other. Please make sure you read over the full rules of the game on the Yazino site before you begin playing.

During the entire bingo game players will be able to chat with each other and even strategize. Players will receive power-ups that they can use to protect the battleboard or attack the other team on the battleboard. Bingo is a fun game, but the new Extreme Bingo is a fancy bingo game that adds a whole new element to the game (which is nice, because everyone knows there’s no real strategy to beat bingo – so not much to focus the mind on, as it were)

Yazino only launched in 2010, but according to the guys over at best casino bonuses Yazino has already released 6 great social games available on Facebook.

This Year’s John Smith’s Grand national starts in two weeks lasting 3 days, from 7th-9th April at Aintree.7th April is Liverpool day. The following day is Ladies Day famous for hats!. The big race is on the 9th -the 2011 Grand national steeplechase.

The race is probably one of the most popular races in United Kingdomhorse racing betting, and definitely one of the most thrilling and exhilarating races of the year for fans of the sport. As you might expect, Twitter is overflowing with people hunting for Grand National tickets). What better time than now to do your research, to work out who you are going to gamble on and which free-bets or special offers you will pick up when you bet (loads of bookmakers offer excellent value deals for the Grand National).

Read our Grand National betting guide below to help identify possible winners, and give you some interesting Grand National triva along the way – after all, you can’t play bingo 24/7!

CHOOSING A WINNER AT THE GRAND NATIONAL

• Plenty of Runners: With about 40 horses in the race you can certainly expect a spectacle. That’s a lot of legs! It’s quite common to see riders falling and horses running without jockeys.
• Long Track: 4.5 miles
• Jumps & Balance: Horses with tendancy of falling are not likely to have confidence and to maintain their balance to realistically stand a chance of victory.
• Stamina: This is a long race – therefore horses with no history of wins on tracks over 3 miles in distance are more unlikely to win on a 4.5 mile track.
• The race is synonymous with the racehorse “Red Rum”which was trained on the beaches of Southport and went on to win 3 Grand Nationals, capturing the nation’s hearts.
• Each way betting – placing an each way bet on the grand national is an easy way to make profit, as bookmakers pay four places on each way bets as standard
• It is not often you will find a contender in the race with such short odds that you won’t make a profit with an each way bet, should the horse place 1st-4th.

GRAND NATIONAL FREE BETS

Online and land-based bookmakers and betting portals such as odds-comparison.org are more than happy to acquire new customers by offering free-bet offers during popular sporting events such as the Grand National, Cricket World Cup, Cheltenham, Wimbledon etc.

You can avail of free bets deals and offers on dedicated online betting forums and odds-comparison sites – for literally thousands in free bets for the Grand national each year.

note: this isn’t a post about playing online bingo… it’s about horse racing! Giddyup.

A change in Paypal policy which will allow online gaming sites to use the company for payments once more is a good illustration of how far the Paypal’s stock has recovered since it was ditched by most the online gaming sites due to worries about PayPal’s sustainability. There can be no doubt of the company’s sustainability now – with over 200m users and revenues of over $600m – that’s a lot of people playing casino games.

The move has been been greatly welcomed by bingo players who use Paypal daily. The lack of Paypal on bingo sites has much been a thorn in the side for bingo players who are reluctant to use their debit or credit cards, or pay-as-you-go solutions to play online Bingo. Offering PayPal as a payment solution in gaming once again should bring more players into online bingo, resulting in more bingo room liquidity, and more value added games / tournaments and promotions for betting bingo players
