As Phil Fraser stated as the owner of WhichBingo.co.uk, he was more interested in rewarding those who consistently returned for fun filled enjoyment to his site. These rewards were very encouraged by him.

The awards began in 2003 and have become the most popular in the industry. The two categories being awarded are ‘Site of the Year’ and ‘Best New Online Bingo Site’. Last year Think Bingo and Gone Bingo won the awards.

Hundreds of sites will be competing for this year’s awards and many have already begun campaigning. The growth of online bingo in the UK is reflected in the ever-growing number of contestants, with hundreds of sites now envying for the grand prize. The prizes are considered the most prestigious in the online bingo world.

“There are some really great sites out there that do a fantastic job,” Fraser said. “Each year, bingo players have a forum to register their appreciation for fun and excitement these sites deliver.”

The winners of the Bingo Oscars will be announced by WhichBingo in January.

Named by the organizers as Online Bingo Oscars, the Online Bingo Site of the year has been awarded to several winners over the past five years. These are the most honorable awards and the winners are chosen by the votes cast by playing Bingo public. In 2006, Mecca Bingo was the winner and in the previous year, it was Think Bingo. From December 1, Bongo is open for nominations and they will run until the year end.

New UK Online Bingo Site of the year is also run by the same organizing committee and it was Gone Bingo who won in the last year. CM of the year award is another notable award and it was bagged by Bingo Scotland in the previous year.

Phil Fraser, the recognized expert in the Sector and prestigious owner of WhichBingo expressed interest in celebrating and praising those entertaining sites which bring joy to the players.

He appreciated several bingo sites that offer excellent satisfaction and fun for the players. WhichBingo is running Bingo awards from 2003 and Fraser added that he was completely amused by the improvement in the market.

Players’ choice awards will be launched on January 30, 2009 where the organizers and players put combined efforts to select the winner. Those UK sites that have topped data collected by Bingo as well as the survey collected from the players will be the winner of this year.

Every day from 5 pm to midnight, at their Safari Room, you can play all the games – every 90 Ball Bingo game is of great value and the stake is just 5p (excluding link games).  Put a small fish in the net and grab a good real cash prize.

On Sundays Crown Bingo offer a fantastic promotion in which if you become a member you will have one pound of free money credited to your account and of course the bingo games are free all day so you can play till your tired of hearing Kelly’s eye or legs eleven. Every month as well there are a large range of prizes to be won and you will be entered in to their raffle for every ten pounds that you top up in your account.

They also have a great big jackpot which is a progressive jackpot and it keeps building every day so if you can call a house in thirty four numbers or less then all that lovely money can be yours and with Christmas just around the corner then it would be a great present to receive before the festivities begin. Crown Bingo is here all on your knees and bow down to the king.

As the user is playing bingo against the clock, they have to check their ticket and then accept or reject a number as it is called. Players have to act quickly and make the correct decision. Points are earned for playing and these can be earned in a number of ways.

This is a very exciting and new take on the game of online bingo, the player has to remain active during the game and it really resembles land based bingo as there is no auto daub available. OnlineBingo.co.uk call it “Skill Bingo”, and apparently some very special balls are thrown into the game to add to the excitement of the game. These balls may have the effect of adding to the players score or allowing them additional time. They could also have the opposite effect too!

It is a ninety ball game and players are given three minutes to complete the bingo ticket. The game is complete when all fifteen numbers on the ticket have been marked off. If there is time remaining on the clock, the player earns extra points, and moves to the next level.

Lisa was fuming, she said that she didn’t want to see Sharon waste the money and now no-one in her family is talking to her. She is also in the not too great position of not speaking to Sharon, so I assume she will not receive an invite to that wedding.

Sharon won the bingo money in the National Bingo game at the Castle bingo club in Swansea. Lisa said that they had both had a bit to drink and when and they started bickering when they sat down, she was being a bit loud and Sharon flew across the table and punched her in the eye. Her mother dragged them apart and locked Lisa outside the fire escape, but Lisa came back round in the front door of the bingo club, walked up to Sharon and punched her in the face as hard as she could. Sharon said it was “just a little argument” and denies that she punched Lisa.

It is funny what a bit of money can do to people!!

Only last week ITV Bingo night live gave away ₤60 000 to Michael from Margate, while on air, in a one of a kind event in which they made a new entry into the Guinness book of records, as the biggest online bingo game ever. This will probably set up a challenge to other online bingo sites to attempt to break the record, and I am sure we are going to be seeing some of these attempts in the not too distant future.  It was reported that 59 392 online players took part in this game, and each of them is to be sent a certificate of participation by e-mail.

There are many online bingo sites that have aligned themselves to television bingo shows also. Unfortunately they do not get the same attention as the ITV Bingo Night Live. Firstly because the game is free to play and offers some serious prizes, and secondly because it is aired on a national terrestrial TV station, allowing more viewers access.

I recon if you got into the draws for these prizes at a couple of online bingo sites you could probably save even more on the grocery bills. To be in the draw with a chance to win all you need to do is play your favorite online bingo and other games, for doing this you receive entries and then the Ten names are randomly drawn. It doesn’t get more simple than that!

In an added incentive, saving you even more money is the Harry’s Bingo Pays the Bills competition. Players ear a certain amount of points for different activities. For instance if you max buy in on a bingo game, you earn 2 points and if you win a full house your earn 1 point. At the end of the month three lucky winners are drawn and they get to have either their Gas, Water or Electric bill paid. In these days of rising costs it doesn’t get much better than that.

Bingo for Breakthrough is held to raise money for breast cancer awareness and research. They have raised ₤2.7 million in the last five years and are hoping to break the ₤3 million mark this year. Michelle says that she is delighted to be involved and is encouraging everyone to get down to their local bingo club to get involved.

During the Bingo for Breakthrough week clubs will raise money by offering free bingo games and inviting members to make donations to this worthy cause. There will also be a whole host of fundraising activities including fancy dress competitions and raffles. Participating clubs will offer prizes of the Bingo for Breakthrough mascot and they will be selling pink dabbers at 75p each. All money from the sale of the pink bingo dabbers will go directly to the Breakthrough Breast Cancer charity, and Gala online bingo will also be participating in this fund raising drive. I expect that a whole lot of other online bingo sites will also get involved, so we should be hearing something from them quite soon.

Online bingo games include ninety ball (the UK’s favorite), eighty ball (for those who fee the 90 ball game is too long and the 75 ball game too short). Seventy five ball bingo (more popularly played in the US and Canada), thirty ball or speed bingo, Scandinavian and Spanish bingo.

All of these games allow online bingo players to win cash rewards, the reward is generally dependent upon the price of the bingo ticket and the rules of the game being played. But I have seen penny bingo being played for jackpots of ₤100, and what a return on investment that is. Imagine paying a penny and winning ₤100? Talk about a good profit margin! Virtually every day in the UK, someone strikes it rich from playing bingo, the game could be land based or online, but people are making money, in this value for money entertainment genre. Online bingo games, combined with the socializing aspect are a great place to have fun and be rewarded at the same time.
