How many of you have actually heard of Bingo Liner? We’ve recently added them as a partner, and  we wanted to give you all the low-down on them so if you are on the lookout for a new bingo ‘partner’ you can maybe consider having a look at this company.

What’s it all about?

Bingo liner is a site that offers a range of unique bingo halls, with a range of patterns and you can play a large number of cards at once.  They offer multiple games, and have many features.  But are they any good?

The main focus of Bingo Liner is 75 ball Bingo.  They’re bingo hall software is leased from the very popular and famous "Leap Frog Gaming".  Bingo Liner aims to make things a bit more unique with four bingo halls and all sorts of variations.  Our opinion is that too much variety makes everything complicated, and there is a famous strategy many people use and works.  "KISS theory.  KEEP IT STUPIDLY - SIMPLE" However; in saying that, Bingo liner have been very careful not to over-do things, but we weren’t keen on their other games.   

The biggest thing we liked about Bingo Liner was the fact they have huge bonuses.  At the time we played they were offering a 20% bonus on deposits which is very rare.    Also we received a free $5 credit to our account as soon as we registered.  This meant we could effectively play for free.  If you are a regular customer, they do offer "VIP Bonuses" and this seems to be quite attractive.

One thing we will say - the support seems to be well "supported" we noticed a live chat service, which means you can talk with someone real-time without paying national rates to call a support desk, and this is much appreciated as being put on  hold because you can’t withdraw money is very frustrating.  We like live chats because you can often get issues fixed in 2 or 3 minutes - at no extra expense.

Overall, Bingo Liner seems like great fun.  They have the usual deposit options from credit card / NETeller / Click2Pay, but we recommend anyone that joins Bingo Liner use Neteller.  The reason for this - is that they have a special offer which will let you get a 200% match bonus if you deposit money with them.

Also Neteller is a very highly regarded firm, and they will definitely NOT steal your money. (Not that Bingo Liner would either).

Take a look at this up and coming room - and let us know what you think.

Good Luck!

Ladbrokes Bingo set to change

Sources have revealed that the Ladbrokes Bingo company have made some significant improvements to the bingo experience of it’s players in the past week.  Their games have been tweaked, enhanced and improved to be more enjoyable and accessible for punters.

Sadly, we’ve not yet had the chance to do an in depth review on Ladbrokes, but this never meant they are a bad casino.  They are certainly a very well known brand within the United Kingdom, and now there bingo has been ‘upgraded’ it looks set to become even more popular.

Main Attractions at Ladbrokes include a variety of theme rooms from "who wants to be a millionaire" to the bingo room "Attic" where you can win some real bargains.

Ladbrokes being an experienced gaming provider, offer a variety of other games, from slots to casino games. 

They also have a number of super promotions from buy one get one free hours, to millionaire rooms and other ‘features’.  All this helps to shun away the feeling that Ladbrokes is a bookies not a bingo site, when truly they are very good at providing both these services online.

We have to admit, that Ladbrokes still does not compare with some of its larger rivals such as Gala bingo.  Although they provide some very good games, the sheer quality and number of players just does not compare. 

Overall we give Ladbrokes a 7/10 but comparing it to Gala - they get a 9/10.

Don’t feel intimidated by their low score because Ladbrokes are certainly one of the premier providers within the UK.  Give them a try because Ladbrokes also offer various signup bonuses for new players - currently there is one running in which you deposit £10 and you get £20 free.

Good Luck!

The paddies have produced yet another great incentive for people to start trying online bingo. The site is aimed towards fun, and it is very easy to use. The Chat Managers are very helpful and give away lots of prizes in chat games, and they like a laugh too. If bingo gets you bored also, paddy power have a load more games that you can play with varying degrees of bonuses and prizes, however the main focus of this review is bingo.

I’ll be honest and say I stuck with the bingo games, as I tend to be a believer that the only winners on slots are the gaming rooms. Prove me wrong, but I like my bingo.

Support
When I first deposited, I had a slight problem in getting my funds. As a result I had to contact the customer services team, as a result they were polite, efficient and they were available when I called them at 11PM in the evening. Since then I’ve not had a problem, so I can’t really comment.

In general these guys are pretty good - I give them 8/10 The only drawback for me is their bingo could be a bit more easy to use. At the minute, it is great - but I feel it is just a bit cluttered.

However don’t let this put you off. You can give them a try and see how it goes. I hope you enjoy yourself!

R.I.P Bingo Hall

Well, it seems like we’ve done enough bantering about the old-fashioned bingo hall era. Rest in peace and all that.  Now we are going to focus on the digital era and the future of the game. 

Today, for all you that have never tried online bingo games, we will hopefully convince you to start!

So what exactly are the main advantages?

You can do it from your home
It’s cheaper
You only have to put up with yourself
Jackpots are sometimes higher

We’re going to start with telling you a little more about one of our advertisers - Gala bingo.

Gala bingo is certainly one of the most well known bingo chains in the UK.  In fact this is one of the brand names of bingo, and for the past few years they have once again returned to centre stage; focusing almost entirely in online endeavours. 

Gala bingo offer one of the most advanced bingo clients available.  It’s small, easy to use and friendly for us Internet novices out there!  What I like about it is the fact that it has lots of online help available if I need it. 
Anyway - for me at least; the most attractive thing about Gala right now are the signup bonuses.  Yes - you heard me correctly if you sign up with an online bingo hall you will get many bonuses when you sign up.  This is normally bingo credits so you can play a number of games for free.

I liked this touch as it was a good enticement for me to deposit a little money and enjoy the game for a lot longer.

However, be careful when you choose an online bingo hall, there are many out there who make it almost impossible to withdraw money or winnings.  Make sure that you choose a good one like Gala bingo to ensure that when you do win, its yours.
