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! )

Wouldn’t that just be the dogs dangly bits! If you could actually get paid for playing bingo online? Or, perhaps if you were rewarded with a gift or voucher for playing? Well, very soon, this could be a reality! A new concept in Bingo is soon to be launched, and as ever, we’ll be the first to announce it and have all the details!
Fair enough, the Online Bingo rooms have their fair share of promotions, sign up bonuses and deposit bonuses to keep the average Bingo addict happy, but supposing you could get EVEN MORE!! Would you want it? Damn right you would - and even better, you can get it from playing at your favourite rooms!
What we’re looking for at the moment is 20 Online Bingo guinea pigs to test drive this new idea - we will of course not only reward them for playing bingo online, but in return for their feedback, we will also send them an extra special pressy in the post!!

So you want to be one of the 20? Ok, its as easy as this - right us a short sentence or paragraph telling us exactly why you think www.play-bingo-online.net is so great ( flattery gets you everywhere! ) and we’ll pick the best 20 and contact the winners.

All entries should be sent to Bingo Dave at : info@play-bingo-online.net

The closing date for this will be October 23rd, so get writing! Winners will be announced on the blog!

Ok, so we play bingo online whenever and wherever we can - but whilst this is no bad thing, is there ever a time NOT to be playing bingo online?
We bandied this question around the office and got some humorous ( and disturbing!! ) replies! And it promopted me to think - why not ask our devoted readers when they think you should definitely NOT be playing bingo online?
Just to add a bit more excitement, we’ve decided to award a prize to the very best reply - we’re rummaging through the gift cupboard even as I write - so get posting comments to us with your answers!

Just to give you a flavor of how weird we all are here at Play Bingo Online.net - here’s my top 3 answers so far :

I should not play bingo online when :

1. When boyf or girlf is on one knee trying desperately to ask you a question….
2. When your waters break!
3. When the fire alarms being going off for like 7 minutes!

Good luck, I can’t wait to hear your suggestions,

All the best,

Bingo Dave!

Did you know that your star sign may help you when you play internet bingo. For example, if you’re an Aries then you’re apparently very lucky when it comes to playing bingo online. In a survey that was set up by the bingo commission it was found that more than one in eight online bingo jackpot winners were Arians. Arians are well known for being assertive, competitive, daring, enterprising and, above all, lucky. So if your born in October get online and start playing bingo. Astro bingo combines both horoscopes and online bingo so why not give them a try. According to Astro Bingo, they should make the most of their good fortune as on the 30th of October it is set to be the luckiest day of the year for Arians. The moon is in Aries, which means they should feel a sense of well-being and positivity. Whether you play bingo online or not perhaps you should try and give Lady Luck a go.

On the 1st of September the bingo industry in whole was granted new powers via the Gambling Act 2005. The Bingo Commission, which was founded in 2005, takes responsibility for regulating all forms of Bingo gaming in the UK, including both traditional club bingo and online bingo games. All Bingo operators that offer gambling games must now be licensed by the Bingo Commission, and those that operate without a Legal licence will be prosecuted accordingly. A team of “License compliance managers” was put in place to identify illegal operators and enforce the law to their full powers.

“We are a nation of gamblers, even if some who admit to the occasional flutter would shy away from being pigeon holed in that catagory,” said Peter Dean, who is Chairman of the Bingo Commission. “Parliament has set the basic rules about what gambling is permitted. The Gambling Commission’s task is to ensure that gambling is crime-free, fair and safe. It is a cause of great satisfaction to me that we now have the proper tools to do this within a modern system of gambling regulation which is second to none in the world.”

It is doubtful that we will suddenly see online bingo merchants dominate the commercial TV Ads, we can expect bingo sites to make good use of the relaxed advertising laws in the future. This is positive news for those of us who enjoy playing bingo online, because advertising means more competition between bingo sites, and a better deal all round for players.
