Minxy Bingo Review

Minxy Bingo Review
Minxy Bingo Review Minxy Bingo Overview Minxy Bingo is yet another bingo site powered by Virtue Fusion so I found it easy to use. Minxy Bingo attracts a lot of players, I saw it as high as 600 players in one room. It has everything you could want from a bingo site including great games of bingo, high jackpots on the slot machines and fun chat games. Signing Up Signing up is easy to do with just one registration form to fill out. It also saves your address so you dont have to fill it out again when putting in your credit card details. When you have signed up and made your first deposit, your free 20 will automatically be paid into your bonus balance. After Signing up a pop up page will appear confirming your email and username and thanking you for signing up to Minxy Bingo. Homepage The homepage is fairly simple with a usual pink and purple theme. The website is very easy to navigate as it is not at all cluttered. There are the general navigation tabs around such as promotions and support and a list of the latest big winners. Playing Minxy Bingo Playing on Minxy Bingo can turn out to be very cheap if you go online at the right time as prices can start as low as 1p per ticket. With huge jackpots to be won everyday it makes playing at Minxy Bingo worthwhile. When I was playing at Minxy Bingo there was no sign of any chat moderators which I felt let it down a little bit. Buying the bingo tickets was very simple just click on the plus sign and add as many tickets as you want. You also have the option to bulk buy so you have you tickets ready for when you come online later in the day. Whilst playing bingo or waiting for the next bingo game you keep yourself entertained by playing on the scratch cards or slot machines with more chances of winning huge jackpots. Our Verdict Unfortunatly the lack of chat moderators made the site a little bit of a let down. Otherwise the site was very easy to use and it has a very nice design to it, making it easy to navigate. They have a wide selection of chat games, slot machines etc which means you will never get bored playing at Minxy Bingo. If you are looking for a new bingo site to play on then you should definitely give Minxy Bingo a try. The bingo caller was fairly relaxed compared to some so it wasnt annoying and I didnt feel the need to mute the sound.

Game On Bingo Review

admin — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 18:18:10 +0000

Game On Bingo Review
Game On Bingo Review Game On Bingo Overview Game On Bingo is a brand new bingo site from Littlewoods gaming, powered by software belonging to Brigend limited. We are the first Bingo site to review Game On Bingo so continue reading to find out what we thought of this interesting site. Signing Up Signing up is very easy to do just click on Join Now fill in one form, this includes entering your address and credit/debit card details straight away but no money will be taken out of your bank account before using the cashier. Once you have signed up you are taken to your personal account page where you can deposit into your account and look at your past gaming such as which bingo rooms you have played in and what you spent in those rooms. There is no free money when you register but you do get 20 free bingo cards and when you deposit you get a match deposit bonus up to 100. When you deposit a second time or more you get a 50% match. Homepage The homepage is very basic and doesnt really have a theme to it. As it is a very blue site which does make a change to the usual pink. It is very easy to find your way around the site with the menu bar across the top and the bottom of the homepage. With a 3 step sign-up guide, some slot machines adverts and their latest promotions it gives you something to look at on the homepage but not much to act on. Playing Game On Bingo The bingo lobby is fun, very colourful and eye catching. It lists all 6 bingo room and if any of the bingo rooms arent open it tells you the opening and closing times. On the link for each room it also tells you what time the next game is so you dont have to wait around. There are plenty of slot machines and instant games to play on to keep you occupied and you can also play these whilst playing bingo. The software for Game On Bingo is great it is very easy to use. Buying your bingo tickets is very easy just click on the ones you want and press buy or you can use the button buy max. When buying your tickets you can also switch the strips if you dont like the ones that given to you originally, which is a nice touch if you have your fave numbers. The bingo tickets could be very expensive at up to 1 tickets at nearly 3pm in the afternoon and there were not many players about at the time either. The lowest price for tickets I saw was 5p each. The chat was very friendly and helpful and any questions I had were answered quickly. All the players were very friendly and spurring each other on. Although why one had to shout out he had sex on a beach in Greece is beyond me although everyone took it in their stride and joked around saying at least it wasnt Dubai. I guess it takes all types! Our verdict This bingo site is very new and still has a long way to go to catch the others up. With great software running the actual bingo the site could be amazing but is let down hugely by a out of date and slightly confusing website. The chat is friendly and helpful and it really is a fun place to play. Game On Bingo could do with lowering their ticket prices a little bit and some of the promotions seem amazing but when you try and work out exactly what they are there is nothing that actually tells you. Is it just me that doesnt know exactly what a 1m coverall is? So some things just feel not quite right. Generally though, it is definitely worth depositing a tenner or so and having a go for yourself. Site Scores Please note that all the individual scores below are out of 10 and the overall score is out of 50. Site Design 4/10 Bonuses 7/10 Chat Rating 9/10 Variety of Games 9/10 Jackpots 6/10 Overall Score 35/50 Extra Information Promotions Refer A Friend Weekend Promos 1 Million Coveralls Team Bingo Happy Hour Chat Games 75 Ball – Horse Race 75 Ball – Hot Potat”o” 75 Ball – “in” to Win 75 Ball – Leap Frog 75 Ball – Lower Buddy 75 Ball – Lucky Number 75 Ball – Poker 75 Ball – Tag 75 Ball – Treasure Chest 75 Ball – Upper Buddy 90 Ball – Bingo Trivia 90 Ball – Find a Friend 90 Ball – Half Dozen 90 Ball – Higher or Lower 90 Ball – Kick Ball 90 Ball – Nothing to Lose 90 Ball – Pot of Gold 90 Ball – Seven Up 90 Ball – Take 5 90 Ball – Three’s for Me Welcome Offer T&Cs before withdrawal You agree to wager at least 2x the amount of the deposit + the amount of the Bonus Funds prior to cashing out the deposit.

Ladbrokes boosted by strong bingo results

Ladbrokes boosted by strong bingo results
LONDON Ladbrokes produced a strong set of trading results which were boosted by a 13% growth in revenues in their online bingo business. Ladbrokes Bingo only saw a one per cent rise in their active player numbers in the three months from July to September 2010 but their player base increased losses by 11 per cent. Ladbrokes Bingo operate on Virtue Fusion software and Ladbrokes have been pushing their bingo hard in recent weeks, with their Free Bingo product now having its own tab on the navigation of Ladbrokes’ home page. It is thought that the record 3.5 million progressive jackpot on the Clover Rollover slot will have also contributed to increased revenue as players chase a life changing payday for just a 1 stake. Across Labrokes as a whole, the online part of the business saw a 17% growth in revenue and across the entire company net revenue was up 12 per cent and operating profit, excluding high rollers, was up 128%. However the company acknowledged that the like-for-like comparisons were not difficult to out perform, given how dismal previous trading had been. Richard Glynn, the recently appointed Ladbrokes chief executive, said: Although bolstered by successful latter stages of the World Cup and an easy comparative period, the growth rates achieved in the third quarter give the Board confidence that the Group is on track to meet its full year expectations. Ladbrokes has a great brand and a strengthened management team determined to drive operational improvements going forward. Though much remains to be done, I am encouraged by the progress we are making across the Group and I look forward to updating the market in February 2011.
