Costa bingo launched in June of this year, so I thought for today’s post I would review this popular online bingo website. Similar to online bingo websites such as Cheeky Bingo and Post bingo, Costa Bingo also offers free bingo games.

As a registered member of Costa Bingo you can log on and play free bingo games all day every day. Registration is quick and easy and the only time you will need to provide any financial details is if you decide to make a deposit into your account. Once you register you can log in straight away and start playing bingo in the free online bingo rooms that are available on the site.

When they launched in June Costa Bingo has two free online bingo rooms but they will be changing this to three. Freesy Peasy is the name of the first free online bingo room and here you can play 75 ball bingo games. Fun ‘n’ Free is the name of the second room and this is where you will find 90 ball bingo games. If you have deposited money into your account you will also find other free bingo games that are available in the paid bingo rooms every hour and the jackpot for these free games is £50.

If you do decide to deposit money into your account you can start with as little as £5 and you will receive a 200% bonus on you first deposit with 50% on all other deposits you make. Games on Costa Bingo start from just 5p and 10p games and the jackpots for these games are great too. At 10pm every night you can play the 10p game for which the jackpot is £250. Every Friday night at 9.30pm the 10p game has a guaranteed jackpot of £1,000, and on the last Thursday of every month at 9.30pm you have the 10p game with the guaranteed jackpot of £2,500.

As an online bingo website that offers both free and paid online bingo games Costa Bingo is one that is well worth registering with as their jackpots are great and the ticket prices are low.

There are some weird and wacky names for online bingo websites out there and the latest to enter this genre is an online bingo website called PlentyMore Bingo. The names suggests that this site has plenty more to offer than your normal online bingo website so let’s take a look and see exactly what they have.

PlentyMore Bingo is powered by the Virtue Fusion bingo software. This software allows online bingo websites to host 75, 80, and 90 ball bingo games so I was surprised to see that PlentyMore bingo wasn’t offering its players 80 ball bingo games. So it’s only 75 ball and 90 ball bingo games on offer here. Other online gambling games are available though and these include Marine Mayhem and Joker Jackpot so there are some alternatives to bingo.

Registering to play at PlentyMore Bingo is easy and you get a £1 bonus just for registering. When you first register you will be taken to the deposit screen but you can just click straight through and begin playing with your £1 bonus cash once you have validated your email address. This means that you can check out the games and see if you like the website before you deposit any cash.

The bingo lobby at PlentyMore Bingo features three 90 ball bingo rooms and two 75 ball bingo rooms. There is also the Marine Mayhem room and the Joker Jackpot room. I should point out, that not all these rooms are open 24 hours a day and opening times are listed in the bingo lobby.

One of the good things about PlentyMore Bingo is the fact that they are part of the Better Bingo Network of Virtue Fusion bingo sites and this means that they are able to offer some really great progressive jackpots and the value of these and how you can win them is shown at the top of your bingo screen.

So does PlentyMore Bingo have plenty more to offer? In my opinion I would say yes they do. There have plenty of options for their players and a large variety of side games that you can play too. Why not check out this new online bingo website for yourself and see if you feel the same.

Another new online bingo website has launched. This new website is called Play2Win Bingo and it is using the Cozy Games Bingo software. Play2Win Bingo is offer all its new players a £10 no deposit necessary welcome bonus. Here’s the deal, when you register with Play2Win bingo they will instantly put £5 into your account, when you add your credit or debit card details they will add another £5 to your account and that before you put in any money of your own. It sounds great doesn’t it but like most online bingo websites there are wagering requirements that you must adhere to for this free money.

Play2Win Bingo are offering players a 600% deposit bonus that will be spread over your first three deposits but it really is worth taking a closer look at what you need to play before you can make your first withdrawal which by the way is a minimum of £50. You will need to play through four times your original deposit and the bonus before you can make a withdrawal. This means that if you deposit £5 then add on the £10 bonus which makes £15 you need to play through £60 before you are eligible for a withdrawal. That’s a serious amount of cash especially when you take into consideration that the online bingo games offered through the Cozy Games platform have small prize amounts and the jackpot is only £50. I am hoping though that as this online bingo website grows so too will its cash prizes.

Now that you know the ins and outs of what is required money wise let’s take a look at what this new online bingo website has to offer its players. They have 80 ball and 90 ball bingo games in two bingo rooms. You can use your bonus funds to test out the games before you commit to adding any money yourself and this is always a good thing.

In order to give an accurate review of this online bingo website I have to be fair and say that the graphics in the bingo rooms are great and this is one feature that will make this website stand out from the rest but the wagering requirements and minimum withdrawal amounts may be enough to put a lot of potential players off.

How will this website fair out in the long run? I’m not sure and only you can decide by visiting it yourself. Be sure to let me know what you think though.

In May of this year I heard about a new movie based on bingo that is due to be released. There seems to be a lot of interest and following in relation to this upcoming movie and the director has even gone so far as to produce a Facebook fan page for the movie. The facebook page updates with all the latest news about the film, the actors in the movie, and how traditional bingo in the US is suffering just as it is in the UK and Europe.

The Facebook Bingo Confidential page has over 90 fans so far and with more and more online bingo websites picking up on the story I estimate that this number is set to rise. It seems Facebook really is becoming a great marketing ploy and this page tells all about the plight of the land based bingo halls.

The film itself is about Nigel who was a UK bingo caller before he travelled to the US in hopes of making it big over there. His aim is to win the huge $1 million prize up for grabs in Bingo Confidential so that he doesn’t have to go back to the UK. All of the characters in Bingo Confidential has their own story to tell and it will be interesting to see how the film turns out.

As more information comes in and when a launch date is announced I will be sure to let you know.

Bingo Hollywood is a new online bingo website that is soon to be launched. Globalcom network is responsible for this stand alone website launch and if you are familiar with any of Globalcom networks other online bingo websites which include Foxy Bingo, Wink Bingo, and Cheeky Bingo; then you can expect some pretty good games and action.

Having checked out their homepage which at the moment is still blank it is hard to give you an accurate picture of what is on offer but if we take into consideration that they will be using Globalcom/888 (Dragonfish) software we can be assured that the games and jackpots will be impressive.

As the name suggests I am assuming that Bingo Hollywood will be based on a film and showbiz theme. This is sure to make a difference to the usually online bingo rooms and games that we see. It is anticipated that the online bingo rooms will be named after different actors and some of the online bingo games will be based around some of the best Hollywood films too and you never know, there could be promotions that will tie in with the latest cinema releases. In fact with this type of theme based online bingo website the possibilities really are endless.

The Dragonfish bingo network is one of the networks that is making the biggest impact on the UK bingo market and they have signed three new bingo partners so far this year. They were responsible for helping Moon Bingo launch as a standalone online bingo website as well as the excellent Costa Bingo which recently launched their very successful free online bingo rooms where players can win real cash prizes.

When Bingo Hollywood launches it will be using some of the renowned Dragonfish’s total gaming services which will no doubt include chat moderators, ePayment systems, customer care services, hosting, and the full technology services that include the back office administration and the platform integration.

As I mentioned, Bingo Hollywood hasn’t launched yet but as soon as it does I will be sure to let you know exactly what to expect.

If you are one of the many online bingo players looking for websites that offer free online bingo games you have probably heard of Cheeky Bingo. They launched earlier this year and they had free online bingo games all day every day. The success of this website was phenomenal and it has lead to a number of other websites coming on stream too.

Dragon Fish is the latest online bingo website to jump on this band wagon and in the near future you can expect to see free online bingo games at this website too. This means that the monopoly that Cheeky Bingo and it’s other rivals had is now going to be lost and the free bingo games that will be offered at Dragon Fish will spread across their entire software platform.

I know most people wonder how the concept of free online bingo all day every day can be profitable for these online bingo websites but it must be or they wouldn’t do it right? Cashcade is the power behind Cheeky Bingo and the offer they had of free online bingo was exclusive to begin with but like most things on the internet it only lasted for a total of three months before other websites started to compete.

The good news is of course for all the online bingo players worldwide. Dragon Fish has a number of brands and all of them will be offering free online bingo games. For us players it means so many more chances to play bingo for free and as many of us are watching our pennies these days it really is a good thing. I can’t wait to see what Dragon Fish really do have to offer.

If you are familiar with the online bingo website Think Bingo Cosy then I have some news for you. On the 6th July this online bingo website is going to change dramatically. The first thing that will happen is that the websites name will change to Little Big Bingo but that’s not all. The entire online bingo website including the prizes etc are due to change but the big question is will they be for the better?

Having had the opportunity to take a look at the promised changes I can tell you that this online bingo website is going to rock. If cheap and cheerful bingo is something that you want to see more of then you are really going to be pleased. For those who want to play for the big stakes and bet more money then you are probably going to be disappointed. The proposed tickets prices for the new online bingo website Little Big Bingo are said to be as low as 1p, 2p, and 5p so if you are short of cash this is going to be fantastic.

If you are already an existing member of the Think Bingo Cosy website you will probably be disappointed to find that the forum is being axed. This may be sad news for some of the forum visitors but who knows the new website may just add one in time to come. The good news is however that you won’t have to re-register for Little Big Bingo and you current login details will get you into the new website.

I am looking forward to the launch of this new website and I can tell you for certain that they will be offering games with guaranteed jackpots of £1,000 with ticket prices at just 1p. I’m sure they will restrict the amount of tickets that can be purchased for these games but still £1,000 for a betting fee of 1p is great news for all players.

I’m sure we’ll hear more about Little Big Bingo after it launches so stay tuned and I will keep you updated as things progress and develop.

Until next time,
