It is not new to us that online bingo sites are aligning themselves with television shows in order to promote their operations. It has been predicted that the formula of mixing online bingo with TV is going to be a winning formula. This new format, part online and part telly has actually become one of the more popular ways of playing the game in recent times and looks set to grow in popularity.

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.
