We spell Bingo M-E-C-C-A, so here are the things you need to know to get started at Mecca Bingo! So read them and get started! GL E1!

1.) Most games that are offered on the Mecca Bingo gaming website are equipped with a “fun mode” that allows visitors to play them without needing to register as a member or player. While there is no deposit required for these fun mode games, no ₤ is available to win while playing either.

2.) Easy registration is the name of the game when it comes to playing at Mecca Bingo. You simply go to the website and look on the left side for the “your account” button. There you will find the “open an account” button that will take you to a page of information to submit, and then click on the word “register” and you will be all set to enter your information. (If you choose a name that is already in use, you will be returned to this same information page to try another name.)

3.) Credit cards, Debit cards, ukash, and neteller are all acceptable forms of payment to place deposits when you are ready to play the real thing. Log on and practice on the fun mode bingo games, then make a deposit and play for some serious cash!

4.) Cash out your winnings any time you would like, but remember that those kinds of transactions are not immediate. If you are sending the money from your account to a debit card, you can expect it to take anywhere from 3 to 5 days. If you would like to place the money on a credit card, you may be waiting up to 10 working days. There are also some additional charges associated with using some MasterCard credit lines.

5.) Awesome bonuses offered for new player accounts! When you sign on for a new membership with Mecca Bingo, you have the option to play for fun (in the fun mode), or make a deposit with one of the accepted forms of payment and have the chance to win great payouts. There are three different levels of bonuses that are offered, and each level is dependent upon the amount of the initial deposit.

*These bonus amounts are not available until you have played enough games to equal the amount of your deposit. Then once that amount has been spent on the gaming site, that same amount will be renewed in your account. This will require at least 5 bingo games to be played, possibly more depending on the price of the cards you choose.

What are you waiting for? Turn towards Mecca …Bingo, that is, and get gaming!

Gambling software provider Cryptologic has the potential to be granted a monopoly on the market of online gambling in Holland.

The company was originally based in Canada, and provided software for gambling sites to United States companies. Yet they were forced out of their industry by the increasingly strict policies against online gaming sites operating in the United States.

Now Cryptologic operates out of Ireland, and is providing software to Holland Casino.com, where the gambling is a state-run operation. Should the Dutch government decide to give a license to them for a three year term, essentially the other European gaming contracts would have no place in the market.

The European Union trade policy may wind up with a Dutch gambling monopoly as its representation. This seems counterintuitive to the statements by Cryptologic that they are staunch supporters of safe online gambling industries that are well regulated by government entities. The position may change when the company is in operation of a complete monopoly of the industry for the country of Holland.

The booming online gambling industry has seen a continued increase in registered members, as well as in the profits gained from the growing market. The potential for benefits for the technology in Holland being only provide by Cryptologic will block any other European software company from operating here with any success, or even legal permission.

It will be interesting to see how the Dutch government decides to handle such an issue with an Irish based software provider.
