Well strike me down - last week I was just talking about Astro Bingo and how it was one of the better sites, and they have a great sign up bonus - well obviously it stuck in my head, as I found myself continuing to play bingo online there over the weekend - had a few minor wins over Friday and Saturday, only enough to buy myself a new bottle of wine for my Sunday online bingo session - and Sunday is where it all becomes a blur!!
A blur? Not because of the wine before you all sign me up to AA - but because I recorded my biggest win ever! Just because I work for Play Bingo Online, it doesn’t mean that I have a god given right to win every time I play bingo! In fact if truth be known, if my online bingo profit and loss was ever scrutinised, I would be declared bankrupt and banned from ever playing bingo online ever again!
Which made the win all the more sweeter! You see, I never play expecting to win, and therefore am never disappointed - i’m more disappointed if I play all night and don’t meet any good friends or manage to have a good gossip! But Sunday evening I was in ” the zone ” - allegedly! Every number that came up belonged to one of my 12 cards - it was like I was Play Bingo Online goddess!!
Before I bore you anymore, I suppose you all want to know how much I won? One thousand smackeroos!!!! I SAID ONE THOUSAND SMACKEROOS!!! And am i going to enjoy each and everyone of them!!
A few hundred will go into my play bingo online fund - I have a little safeguarded pot especially for my little hobby, and the rest will go on a well deserved holiday……..to LAS VEGAS!!

Whilst we do not generally use our blog as a means of promoting any one room, something did catch my eye last night as I was indulging my nightly “play bingo online” habit! Astro bingo!
Its a site I have registered and played a fair bit, but not as much recently as my preference had wandered over to Sun Bingo where I have made some good friends, and like the gossip that flies around that place! anyhow…i digress!!
I happened across the Astro Bingo website almost purely by accident as I clicked it in my favourites in a moment of mouse clicking frivolity, and noticed their latest sign up offers :
1. £10 Sign Up Bonus to Play Bingo Online with
2. 200% Initial Deposit Bonus to carry on playing bingo online with!!
So basically, if you sign up and deposit £20 - you’ll have your own £20, £10 sign up bonus, and £40 initial deposit bonus - which all equals a whopping £70 to play away with! now thats value, and should last a while!
What I thought was particularly amazing was the fact that Astro Bingo is definitely one of the top 10 online bingo rooms available today - they have great chat, fantastic hosts and a wide range of games.
If you’re looking to play bingo online for the first time, or just looking to try a new room, give Astro Bingo a go - you will not be disappointed!

Ok, so we missed the normal New Year Resolutions, but here at Play Bingo Online we’ve got 5 predicions for the year ahead for online bingo players - have a look and let us know what you think!!
1. Playing Bingo Online will become more popular than going to the bingo hall - yes, we are confident, for better or for worse, that people who play online bingo will outnumber those that play offline. The reason isn’t just offline players migrating online, but more to do with the fact that new bingo players are more likely to try the game online.
2. Online Bingo Room Hosts will achieve celebrity status!! - Whilst the standard of hosts on some online bingo sites is woeful, there are plenty of truly excellent ones that really make you feel welcome, and are larger than life! God, sometimes I feel like I know them better than I know my own friends! This could be the year that these often unsung heroes of online bingo become celebrities in their own right! Maybe it will spark an online bingo host transfer market!! You heard it here first!
3. It becomes acceptable for men to play bingo! - Now I know, and have met plenty of males who play bingo online, from builders to lawyers, but still the identity and marketing of bingo rooms is aimed at the female market, making it “seem” a female only club!! Not so! Lets promote more men in the rooms, it can make for better chat sometimes ( for chat, read flirting! )
4. The Launch of Bingo Anonymous - for all of us bingo addicts. Not to talk about our problem, but to have a glass of wine and a bit of a gossip!! All those in favour say “Yay!”
5. Play Bingo Online launches its own bingo room - now there’s an idea! We play in every other room out there, from Gala Bingo to Sun Bingo, perhaps we should take everything we love and launch our own room!!!! But then again it seems like a lot of hard work!! Hmmm, one to think about!
Talk to ya’ll soon!

That was the story for James Arnold last Friday! James finished his shift at the local pub and picked up a copy of The Sun on the way home - also stopping to get his customary Pukka Pie and chips. After reading the sports section, a flyer dropped out and onto his lap for playing bingo online at Sun Bingo - never having played before, and at a bit of a loose end, James decided to give it a go!
” I think purely because i had nothing else to do, and the laptop was within touching distance, i’d give Sun Bingo a go! I didn’t know really what to expect - after all, if i’m honest, i thought Bingo was for grannies, and actually, online bingo would be no different! ”
10 minutes later, James had signed up and was playing - little did he know at this point that his Friday evening was about to take a dramatic turn for the better!!
” I was really getting into it, and chatting to people in the chat room part - it was fantastic how you can make instant friends. It sounds quite sad, but it was actually a really good social opportunity!
Anyway, i had 7 cards on the go, and i noticed that on one of them, i two numbers to go for the Full House! As i typed 2tg into the chat box, i hit another number! Just one to go - and then it popped up, number 88 - i’ll always remember it! I couldn’t believe it and told everyone on the chat room that i had the full house! Everyone congratulated me! I didn’t even know how much i had won until someone asked me what i would be spending the £1k on! ”
And so will James be playing Bingo Online again?
” Damn right I will - its my new Friday night ritual, Pie, Chips, 4 pack of Kronenbourg and Sun Bingo - perfect! ”
And what did he spend the £1k on? - an all inclusive holiday for his mum and dad to Blackpool! Bless him!
