Online bingo promotions are great and there really are so many to choose from.  Mecca Bingo is one of the UK’s most popular online bingo websites.  They have some great promotions running on their website and the one I want to tell you about today is the £100,000 jackpot.  This is their latest promotion and it will guarantee that one person will walk away with this amazing jackpot prize by the 8^th of November.

This promotion is running from the 28^th of October until the 8^th of November and this jackpot prize has to go.  All you have to do to be in with a chance of winning the guaranteed £100,000 jackpot is to play in the 90 ball bingo room on the Mecca Bingo website.  According to Mecca Bingo they are going to make winning this jackpot easier each day until it is won.  The jackpot prize is about getting a full house on the 90 ball bingo games within a certain number of calls and to start off with this number of calls is 33 balls or less.  This will gradually be increased over the duration of this amazing promotion so you really do stand a great chance of winning.

If this £100,000 jackpot hasn’t been won by the 8^th of November then Mecca Bingo has stated that they will increase the ball count every hour on this day until the jackpot is won.  This is a really great promotion and one that could very well change your life.  This promotion gets even better and Mecca Bingo will be splitting £10,000 with everyone who buys a ticket in the winning game.  This is excellent because even if your don’t win the jackpot you will still walk away with a cash prize if you are playing in the game that wins the jackpot.

Mecca Bingo has also launched another great promotion which is a free bingo room for all their new players.  This is a special newbie room and it will be open daily from 12pm to 1pm and again from 7pm to 8pm.  This online bingo room is all about letting new players learn the ins and outs of the online bingo games.  All the games in this newbie room are free and it will allow new players to get to grips with the games and learn all they need to know before depositing any money.  The best thing about these free games is that they have cash prizes too.  Each of the games has a cash jackpot of £25 up for grabs and if you win this will be added to your online bingo account.   This newbie room will be open for the entire month of November and you can play as often as you like.

If online bingo promotions are your thing then these two amazing promotions from Mecca Bingo are bound to get you logging on and playing as many online bingo games as you can.

Mecca Bingo introduced a brand new game to their online bingo website last Tuesday the 20^th of October and so far it has received some very positive reviews.  The news of this new game first came via their twitter account where they announced that this new game would go live at 12pm.  This new game looks to be quite good and if you are interested in finding out more keep reading.

This new online bingo game is all about having one to go.  There is nothing worse than waiting on one number in your online bingo games and then losing out on the jackpot.  Mecca Bingo seem to be aware of this and now if you have one to go and you don’t win you will still win a cash prize thanks to their new Snakes and Ladders game.  There is £500 up for grabs too which is great.

In the new Snakes and Ladders room at Mecca Bingo you will get to play a regular 90 ball bingo game and if you lose with just one number to go you will get the chance to play the bonus Snakes and Ladders game and win a cash prize.  If you make it all the way to the top of the Snakes and Ladders board game you win the jackpot prize of £500.  The best thing about this new game is that you are guaranteed a cash prize if you get to play the Snakes and Ladders game.  The cash prizes range from 10p all the way up to the £500 jackpot.

This new bonus game is not interactive but it is worth taking a look at.  The online bingo games that you need to play are quite cheap too and tickets are usually 5p or 10p.  This is however a catch and you must be playing with a minimum of 6 tickets and be waiting on just one number for a full house to qualify for the bonus round.  I guess with everything there always has to be a catch but I think spending 60p and winning £500 is brilliant and that fact that you are guaranteed to win a cash prize even if it is only 10p is something too.

Why not check out this new online bingo game on the Mecca Bingo website and see if you can make your way to the top of the Snakes and Ladders board.

Mecca Bingo is well known for their charity work and their figurehead Dave and all his charity work has been highly publicized. He has even been dubbed “Dave will do it”. Dave has taken part in some excellent charity events to help raise money for the children’s charity Whizz Kids which Mecca Bingo support. Last month Dave raised money for this charity by visiting a beauty salon and having his legs waxed. I can just imagine the pain he went through but it was all for a great cause so I’m sure he doesn’t mind.

Mecca Bingo supports the Whizz Kids charity which is a charity that is focused on helping to meet the needs of disabled children. They help these children by getting them mobile and helping them to enjoy an active childhood. Whizz Kids provides these children with wheelchairs and mobility equipment and they even offer continued support to children who need it. One of their many programs is a wheelchair skills training program for children up to the age of 18.

Mecca Bingo has raised a great deal of money for this charity over the years and through their charity bingo campaigns they have also helped to raise public awareness for this charity too. The staff members of Mecca Bingo have taken part in a number of great and enduring charity events to raise money for this charity and some of these events have included sky diving, special diets, and of course Dave had his legs waxed.

Dave who is the figurehead for Mecca Bingo has become really popular and according to sources his charity antics are set to get even more interesting throughout the rest of 2009. I bet Dave is wondering what they have in mind for him although his next Mecca Bingo duty is a fun one as he will be flying to Las Vegas where he will be meeting the lucky winner of the Win a Las Vegas Trip promotion that is being held by Mecca Bingo.

Dave really does have a very tough job as the face of Mecca Bingo especially when you take into account what he has to go through but as it is all in the name of Charity and he is raising cash for children I’m sure he really doesn’t mind. Keep your eye on the Mecca Bingo website to see what crazy acts Dave will be doing next.

The high court has finally agreed to uphold its decision to award Mecca bingo a £59 million VAT refund. It seems that Mecca Bingo overpaid their VAT between January 2003 and June 2008. The decision of the high court is much to the joy of Rank Group Plc who have been fighting hard for this all year. In addition there was also a further claim made by Rank for an additional £26 million in VAT which was also upheld.

The decision by the high court is a landmark decision for the entire UK based bingo operators who have all been fighting again high bingo taxes. Believe it or not, tax for bingo is at a whopping 22% whilst other gambling taxes are only 15%. The decision by the high court could actually cost the revenue so much more because now there are over 1,000 claims being made against them.

This has been very exciting new for UK bingo owners and there are sure to be more cases making the news headlines in the months and years to come and perhaps who knows the tax laws in relation to bingo and gambling may also have to be looked at.

This could mean big changes for the online bingo community too and if there is anything more to report I will let you know.
