In order to keep their market share in the online bingo industry, it is vital that online bingo sites keep up with industry standards. If they don’t they will lose players to other sites. So Betfred bingo is now offering a ₤15 no deposit bonus, as apposed to the previous ₤5. That is a huge ₤10 extra to enjoy the games and get to know the site better. To claim this bonus you have to use the download version of their bingo, but the money can be spent on scratchies and slots that are found in the bingo games too.

Not only have they increased their no deposit bonus, Betfred Bingo also decided to offer their Wealthy Wednesday promotion every day of the week for one week in the month of October. This means that a huge 50% bingo bonus is offered on deposits made, I am not certain, but I think this promotion is over for now. However the fact that they ran it is indicative of what we will be seeing next from this online bingo site. Remember there are still millions of people who can be attracted to online bingo at Betfred, so it is worth keeping an eye out to see what they offer next.

We see all kinds of thing given away as prizes in some really great online bingo promotions, cars, holidays, shopping vouchers, spa days, TV’s and kitchen appliances, but this is a first. Ann Summers is like that, slightly risqué so this promotion is actually befitting of the site.

During September all you have to do is play bingo at Ann Summers and you might win the chance to attend and introductory pole dancing lesson at a local studio. Now I have a friend who works at a pole dancing studio in Brixton London, so you never know if you live in the area and win you may well be pole dancing with my friend Kerry.

Oh….by the way these lessons are for all girls groups, sorry guys, but if you win you are going to have to forego the pole dancing lessons. Also, all new members to the Ann Summers online bingo site who deposit and play through ₤20 will receive a Naughty Games book. Guys, you can qualify for this, and the book contains 100 sexy games for adults, they even get creative with a Mars Bar!

During this time period, Party Bingo and Party Gaming saw the number of active players decrease. And although the company has seen a steady increase of players to the online bingo site in the past recent months, they still find their latest financial update to be disappointing. This coupled with the cost of a replacement for the Chief Executive officer, which cost the group ₤2.1 million are more than likely the reason for the drop in revenues and the corresponding decrease in the share price. CEO Mitch Garber was recently replaced by Jim Ryan, the former internet gaming service boss from St. Minver. There was also the matter of the company’s poker division, with all the strong competition for new poker players, bonuses and some of the costs related to tournaments had increased.

They are currently putting operational efficiencies in place for the online bingo and gaming sites. This means lowering marketing costs, as well as other operational aspects and it is hoped that these efficiencies will assist in increasing profit margins.
