US Bingo, is it Really the “Land of the Free?”

Thursday, December 27th, 2007

UK residents love a game of bingo and the same goes for online bingo players, they have fun and have the freedom to choose to play wherever they want within reasonable boundaries.

The US have enacted law banning financial transactions between UD financial institution and online gaming operators, which effectively means that US online bingo players and gamers can only play bingo online within approved US online gaming sites.

This in effect means that the US Government “dictates” to its population, where they can spend their money online in terms of gaming activities. We have also seen this happen in some of the Scandinavian countries and the hypocrisy of it all its totally ridiculous. This is a harmless game of online bingo or poker or whatever the US audience might fancy.

But the only trading taking place is within the confines of a dictatorial law, my question is, why then are US stock market traders allowed to make financial transactions on stocks world-wide? It seems to me to be completely manipulative that certain innocent activities like online bingo, that is loved by ordinary people, must be governed by the UIGEA, which should anyone disregard, they will be committing a criminal act, while the US “fat cats” continue trading however they please.

Mecca Bingo Tries Telemarketing

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

It seems that Mecca Bingo are in the news daily, what with all the difficult they have been experiencing with share prices and profit losses, threats of hostile takeovers and selling shares to try to manage their business and stay out of trouble.

In an effort to keep the wolf from the door, they have decided to try the telemarketing route in an attempt to attract new customers are well as to revitalise older members interest in returning to play bingo at their UK land based bingo outlets.

Quire is the Intelligent Voice Messaging company are the company who has been chosen to drive this process with the assistance of Mecca Bingo’s already existing database of 80,000 names.

The manager of Mecca Bingo, Tim Dalton says that Quire have provided an excellent service so far and that this exercise should give a boost to the dropping numbers of the embattled bingo operators.

I hope that this will provide the boost for them to turnaround their performance, it would be a terrible shame if the bingo group were to collapse as they really have pulled together hard to make things change for themselves, and I think it is about time they got a break!

Dotty Bingo Lovers Raise Memorial to Dead Pet

Thursday, December 13th, 2007

After all the doom and gloom and seriousness of the UIGEA, Rank (Mecca Bingo) problems, and credit card bingo fraud, it is nice to be able to report on a story that has some real heartfelt warmth to it.

While the story is not about the kind of bingo that we know and love it is about a very special Bingo that a Croatian household knew and loved dearly.

Bingo the Dalmatian was the pet dog of fifty-two year old Goran Tomasic and his wife and their love of bingo was the reason that they painted their house in a very specific manner. They painted their house white and covered it in black Dalmatian-like spots in remembrance of the pet that they knew and loved so well.

Bingo lived with the couple in the town of Pribislavec and sadly he was run over by a car and killed. The couple missed him so much that they decided to paint their house to look like Bingo and ensure that none of the residents of their village would never forget him. Mr. Tomasic said that at first they were worried what the neighbours would think, but they loved Bingo so much they went ahead and did it anyway. Now all say…awwwwww!
