I know we may have blogged about Astro Bingo before, but I happened to be getting my Monday night fix of Online Bingo and decided to check my Astro Bingo Account - lo and behold the Online Bingo gods were smiling on me, I had a bonus of £20 sitting in my account that I had forgotten all about.
So I logged on and had a thoroughly enjoyable two hours of online bingo! And I mean I really enjoyed it! After I had logged out, and returned to the all so boring real world - I started to think of what makes me enjoy playing at one online bingo room above another?
I have come up wth a number of things, and have even taken the trouble to put them in order of importance - let me know what you think and if your list ( if you were to make one ) would look like in comparison :
play bingo, online
1. Other players - ok, ok, ok, lets be honest from the otuset - I DO NOT play bingo, online or offline, to make a living. I do it to meet other people and have a good goss with people I already know. If I happen to win some money, then great - i can play more! And if I were to win a massive prize, then sure, i’m not going to turn it down, but i do not login with the intention of giving up my day job tomorrow! So its important to me that the people at the same room are nice people and there are at least a few of them who are chatty!! I think this is one of the main reasons I loved Astro Bingo last night - there was a broad cross section of players online, and I had a really good giggle!
2. Presentation - or design, or usability - or whatever you want to call it - basically i need the site to be easy to use and let me get from sign up, to playing as quickly as possible!! And without searching for buttons or getting confused what game i’m playing or how much I have to pay! I consider myself a bit of an online bingo expert, and I have certainly been around the block in terms of different bingo rooms, and take it from me, they differ greatly in this aspect! Astro Bingo i’m glad to report is definitely one of the better ones and is friendly enough for me!
3. They Look After Me! - ok, a small point, and it may not even be a real person ( but i think at Astro Bingo is actually is a real person! ), but i LOVE the host that says hello to you when you join the room! It really does work in making you feel welcome! And it brings you right into the chat of the room straight away! No feeling like a stranger and standing by the wall ( or the online bingo equivalent of doing so anyway! )
