Bingo Association Chairman Sir Peter Fry has expressed disappointment over Gala Bingo’s decision to leave the Association, following a Gala Coral Group decision to cease membership of all trade associations.

Sir Peter said:
“The Association has represented the industry in a robust and successful manner, providing a cohesive voice for bingo. Despite Gala’s decision to be outside this important industry forum and platform, the continued membership of over 75 other leading operators, including Mecca, leaves the Association informed and able to act successfully in representing the industry’s interests.”

“The industry has faced a number of challenges in the past eighteen months and is still fighting to address some of the key inequalities that remain, such as double taxation. In challenging these issues the Association will remain an important conduit for members to ensure that their views are represented and for Government departments who seek an industry wide perspective.”

Platinum Play Bingo is one of the many brands from the Fortune Lounge Group, providing incredible monthly promotions and bonuses on a regular basis. The innovative Bingo Ball for Life promotion is one of the most current and exciting to date, a one-of-a-kind experience that’s taking the Bingo world by storm.

Aimed at the avid bingo player, the promotional clip is informative and fun to watch. It explains how easy it is to take part in this world-first bingo extravaganza. Players stand a chance to win a spectacular USD 100,000 / GBP 50,000, one of the world’s biggest progressive Bingo jackpots to date. It all starts with following the easy steps outlined in the clip.

The clip is humorous and entertaining, explaining everything the Bingo enthusiast needs to do to get started and get winning. Players can either choose their own ball or take a ‘Bingology’ quiz to find their lucky number, simply by going to the website.

With their lucky number chosen, players then move on to customizing their bingo ball, from hairstyles and colors to eyes, hands and clothing. Players have the freedom to customize their Bingo avatar to be completely unique, whether their preference is wild and strange or simply reflects themselves.

After customization is done, players then launch the Bingo software and get playing. The more people play, the higher their chances of winning the jackpot on their Bingo-Ball-for-Life number, and the bigger their chances of completing a Full-House and winning up to USD 100,000 cash.

With such an enterprising clip to fuel the promotion, Platinum Play Bingo looks forward to introducing more players to the fun side of Bingo Ball for Life.

When choosing a place to play online bingo, one of the most important things to consider is the bonus offered to new players. It can be tempting to jump on the biggest offer out there, without looking at the specifics, but there is much more to a good signup bonus than just some free money and a matching deposit. Here are a few tips on determining if the bingo bonus program at a site is really as good as it seems:

• Look at the minimum and maximum deposits required to qualify for a bonus. If you need to deposit hundreds of dollars to get the full matching percentage or if the bonus cuts off at a point below the amount you had planned to deposit, you might want to look elsewhere.
• Consider the requirements for achieving the bonus before making your decision. If you sign up for a site that requires that you play through a very high number of online bingo cards in a short period of time, you may not be able to clear your bonus in the specified time frame, if you are just a casual player.
• Make sure that you meet all other requirements for the site before signing up. Location is one of the biggest issues online bingo players face when choosing a site. Certain sites do not support players from some countries. US players, in particular, have issues with signing up at many sites.
• Look at the other bonuses and promotions offered at the site. If the signup bonus is the only benefit that you will receive from a site, you might want to keep looking. The best online bingo rooms offer multiple bonuses and promotions for their regular bingo players. Reload and loyalty bonuses abound, but sometimes take a little bit of searching to find the information on the site about them.

With a little research, anyone can find an online bingo site that offers amazing bonuses. Take your time when choosing a site and find the one that offers the best bingo bonus, allowing you to get the most for your money.
