			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A new online bingo portal released to answer the call for information regarding all things bingo has been released onto the British market. Online Bingo Partner is a progressive website that is updated daily. Information on this bingo portal includes reviews, where to find the best bingo bonuses and all current online bingo events.</p>
<p><span id="more-58"></span>The best and most reliable online bingo reviews are available today will be published on the site, and its easy to use format ensures that online bingo fans are able to easily find what they are looking for in a bingo site.  The site also contains information regarding both UK and US bingo sites, so our brothers across the big pond are not excluded from this one. Industry professionals are responsible for writing all the news and reviews available, and they ensure that the bingo sites are fully tested and compliant.</p>
<p>Online Bingo Partner is also full of information regarding bingo strategies (if there really are any) and tips too. Informative articles such as how to play bingo, bingo trivia, bingo terminology, bingo history and the difference between land based and online bingo are available. The portal is available in both English and Norsk, and although I don’t believe there are many Norsk speaking people in the UK, this online bingo portal appears that it could still be of great use to us. It is always good to get a second opinion when deciding where to play online bingo and reliable portals are the way to obtain this.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Although this is not a UK bingo story it is still pretty interesting and worth a mention. Surely you all know Arnold Schwarzenegger, probably best know for his roles in “The Terminator”. Well when he finally became washed up in the movie industry, he decided to go into politics, following in the footsteps of many other ex-actors.</p>
<p><span id="more-55"></span>He is now the Governor of California and there are moves in political circles to amend the (SB 1369) online bingo bill. This bill apparently veto’s the use of electronic bingo machines, even if they are used for charitable fund raising. The California charity bingo association believes that if this bill is pushed through and enacted, then it will be devastating for all local charities. On the other hand, it will be of huge benefit to online bingo and gaming, as California will be the first state to allow these activities.</p>
<p>If the bill is enacted, Governor Schwarzenegger will have effectively terminated hundreds of local charities who rely on electronic bingo machines for their fund raising efforts. The California charity bingo association, has called on the Governor to veto the bill. Effectively this bill is looking at chucking out the old and ringing in the new. I actually don’t know what to think, I believe that people in the US have the right to have access to what they are terming “remote caller bingo”, but I also believe that outlawing electronic bingo machines is stupid. Why on earth expand the law in one direction and contract it completely in another?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I picked up this interesting little snippet and just felt that I had to share it with you. I know that we have seen some celebrity bingo players in the UK and even some footballers enjoy the game. But American football is a whole other kettle of fish, these are supposed to be really big tough guys. But I suppose it is because he is so tough that Jim Sorgi admitted to FOXSports.com that he enjoys playing bingo.</p>
<p><span id="more-50"></span>The Indianapolis Colts quarterback, who apparently shot to fame after a player called Manning was injured, was introduced to the game of bingo by his wife&#8217;s stepmother. Now when all this fame has been heaped upon him, he is still able to walk with his family through his hometown to enjoy a Thursday night game of bingo at the Legion hall in Brownsburg.</p>
<p>Sorgi admits that he is hooked on the game  and although people leave him alone to enjoy a beer and a game of bingo, they get mad when he wins. This is because they think that he already has enough money and doesn&#8217;t need any more. He said that the largest bingo prize he has collected so far is $250. That is certainly not a bad prize if you ask me.</p>
<p>The game of bingo has often been referred to as the great equalizer, and many celebrities enjoy a game of online bingo and are not embarrassed to admit to this.  Sorgi is in good company, he might be interested to know that Bill Clinton also enjoys the odd game of online bingo, as do Jade and Bianca Jagger, Elle McPherson and apparently even the Queen herself enjoys the odd game.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tombola is a leading online bingo and gaming products provider, they have recently announced plans to partner with Income Access to license their Affiliate marketing software. Tombola is going to be using Income Access software to manage and power their own affiliate network.

Tombola and the companies it is associated with have been in the bingo industry for nearly fifty years.</p>
<p><span id="more-49"></span>Tombola will be provided with a comprehensive affiliate marketing solution by use of a blend of technology and support. This software is backed by a team of affiliate marketing professionals with a six year track record of success in the affiliate marketing industry.<br />
As the online bingo industry continues to grow in popularity, the launch of the <a href="http://www.unluckyforsome.co.uk/bingo-reviews/tombola-bingo.html" >Tombola</a> affiliate network is expected to be received with great enthusiasm by the industry. Online bingo players have a reputation of being very community oriented as well as loyal, this presents a niche for the online bingo affiliate industry to tap into.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Online bingo operators are preparing themselves for a major growth spurt, similar to that seen in the online poker industry a few years ago. In fact if the online bingo industry sees only half of the growth that online poker enjoyed, they will realize that this is enough to take the world by storm. A similar boost to the industry is expected by the online bingo industry as what was at first perceived to be a very small niche market ahs grown with incredible verisimilitude in the past few years, but is still awaiting that last big push toward complete and utter success.</p>
<p><span id="more-47"></span>The online gaming industry firmly believes that the next big online phenomenon will be bingo and this will last for many years to come. Online poker was a huge success and is still extremely popular in the UK and in fact world-wide.</p>
<p>Smoking laws and the increasing price of petrol mean that many people are no longer able to afford to go out to play bingo as often as they used to be able to. This has increased stats for playing online bingo and together with the easily affordable, widespread distribution of high speed broadband connections, the game has really take off in style.</p>
<p>More online bingo players are finding their way to and joining online bingo sites and last year in the UK, online bingo playing accounted for over ₤600 million in spend.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As a result of the struggling land based bingo industry, the Minister of Sports recently announced that land based bingo clubs will be able to have more highly lucrative slots machines in their clubs to boost income. Although this has not yet come into effect, and as we know the wheels of Government turn really slowly, we were actually wondering if the result of the announcement might have some sort of knock on effect for the online bingo industry.</p>
<p><span id="more-46"></span>It is highly unlikely that there will be a sudden rush of online bingo players streaming off their broadband connection and down to the local bingo club. The markets are similar but also different in nature. Bingo players online who enjoy slots too are hardly going to be thinking to them-selves; well I can win a bigger jackpot if I play in a land based club!</p>
<p>Everyone has their own reasons for enjoying online bingo, whether it is the convenience or the fact that they can smoke in the comfort of their own home. Online bingo is on the increase in popularity, and this is not because ₤500 jackpot slot machines were taken out of land based clubs, so it really should have no affect on online bingo is these machines are brought back into live bingo clubs. In any case, even if it did, the online bingo industry is highly innovative in nature; they would always have something bigger and better to offer up their sleeves.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is so much competition in the world of online bingo at the moment that it stands to reason that online bingo sites are having to beef up their promotions, prizes and loyalty programmes in order to stay popular and at the forefront in the operations industry. To this end Astro bingo has completely revamped their loyalty programme and now for every deposit a member makes, they will earn points.<br />
<span id="more-45"></span>The new points system will allow online bingo players to redeem prizes for points in several different ways. For instance they can be exchanged for more tangible gifts such as branded memorabilia like watches, mugs and shirts. They are also able to be exchanged for perfume, chocolates or even a bottle of champagne. There is a much wider choice of what you would like to exchange you valuable bingo points on now and you are not expected to use them just to play free bingo any longer.</p>
<p>I think this is wonderful and far more valuable than most points systems in place at online bingo sites at the moment. I also believe that this is the future for online bingo sites, what with Gala bingo allowing their members to pick up Nectar points in their online and land based bingo games. While I don’t condone playing more bingo to earn more points, these will add up if you remain loyal to a site, and this of course is exactly what the points are aimed at.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Playtech, the popular online bingo software developer has earmarked the phenomenal amount of ₤112 million for new acquisitions. They managed to raise this money by floating 21 620 946 new ordinary shares onto the stock market at a price of 52p each. The fact that the shares were snatched up and the company raised so much money with the sale of these shares indicates that there is a great deal of investor confidence in Playtech.</p>
<p><span id="more-41"></span>The Chief Executive Officer of Playtech, Mot Weizer said that Playtech had made good progress in 2007 and all key performance areas were in excess of set targets. The growth in 2007 had continued into 2008 and the company has registered impressive month by month growth.</p>
<p>It is my opinion that this has to be due to online bingo being so popular with both players and new operators and is indicative of the growth of the game. Anyway, now the company is set to continue with its strategic growth strategy and this will be carried our by means of organic growth as well as new acquisitions. During 2008, Platech has already successfully acquired nine new licensees for online bingo and gaming operations, and they have the money now to take advantage of any further opportunities that the market offers them. Playtech currently has a portfolio of fifty nine licensees.</p>
