    What's the deal with all this online bingo, all I see on tele are all these ads for different bingo websites :confused:

    Since I'm now on Maternity Leave I've become a lot more aquainted with day time tele and almost all day time programmes on the likes of ITV and ITV2 are "sponsored by Foxybingo.com / tastybingo.com / poshbingo.com etc etc...

    When I think of bingo I always think of little grannies down the local parish hall.. Has it become more popular now for some reason or has it always been big business but I'm only noticing it now :confused:

    Do you play it?? If so, what's the big attraction??

    seems to have sprung up in the wake of a proliferation of online poker sites

    a way to milk yet another demographic of what cash they seem willing to give away in return for "online entertainment"??????

    was thinking of setting one up myself

    rubs hand with glee at the thought of the new Ferrari amacca is going to buy himself

    Once they were giving away five euro free on a bingo site, so out of curiosity I signed up.

    I didn't even spend the entire free fiver, it was so confusing. Nothing like normal bingo. How do old biddies do it?

    I once won about €100 playing online bingo and €250 when I was playing for real - still really have no idea how I won, but those were good days.

    Poker for housewives.

    There is only one guaranteed winner in both games and that's the house, steer well clear of these addictive moneygrabbing schemes OP, for your wallet's sake.
