Bingo Loyalty Schemes

Over time many online bingo sites have started introducing Bingo Loyalty Schemes. These, you may think, are a good idea. You may feel that it is appropriate that you should be rewarded for your loyalty to a particular site, and that you should be encouraged to carry on playing there rather than simply move on to another site looking for a better offer. Technically, this is a perfectly rational concept, however, through experience bingo loyalty schemes create a lot of unwelcome animosity amongst players.

We all visit bingo sites on the internet and enjoy the warm friendly atmosphere as much as playing the game itself, but when something like a bingo loyalty scheme is introduced, often this the cause of a lot of bad feeling within the sites community. Not everyone can be pleased when using such schemes and many deem them unfair. Some feel that players who have been using the site longest get rewarded better than new players, however some new players spend more money than the older players and feel they are missing out and vice versa.

The reality is that no bingo site is going to get this right, no matter what they do, or how they do it. Should we all just grin and bear it? Maybe bingo loyalty schemes are not such a good idea, perhaps we would prefer to replace the loyalty schemes with better bingo bonuses or even more free bingo as we go along, so that those who play the site the most get the best rewards. Think of it in this way. The more you play bingo at a particular site, the more you are likely to win. If you play a jackpot game every single week you are more likely to win it that a person playing it once a month. So maybe loyalty could be rewarded in a similar way. If you play you get rewarded. Another way of looking at it is similar to the loyalty schemes used at supermarkets. If you spend money you get loyalty points. But do you get them simply because you have been using them a certain amount of time? Do they give you the same amount in loyalty points if your spend goes down?

There are many interesting alternatives to the current bingo loyalty schemes on the various bingo sites and it will be interesting to see what turn these schemes take in the future.
