How long have you been playing bingo online?

I’m pretty new to bingo, oh except when I used to play bingo in the local working men’s club with my Grandad when I was a boy. I have been playing bingo online for about a year which allows me to report about online bingo from a fresh new perspective.

What is your favourite online bingo site?

I have two favourite online bingo sites. I spend a lot of time writing about US online bingo sites which means that I play at a lot of US online bingo halls. Of all the US bingo sites that I have played at Bingo Vega gets my vote. Powered by the award winning Parlay software it has flawless game play and as I’m a bit of a big-game-hunter Bingo Vega’s $10k guaranteed coverall is just the online bingo game for me. When it comes to UK bingo sites it has to be Foxy Bingo. With cheap cards, huge cash prizes and even cruises up for grabs Foxy Bingo is my winner.

If you could run your own bingo site what would you offer to players?

If I ran my own online bingo site I would emphasise on the important factor in the whole online bingo world which is you. Getting you the players involved in the bingo community at my site would be paramount. I would implement webcam video links via a chat/web cam window which you would have the option to use, if you wanted to really chat with your bingo buddies. I would also encourage video chat with video bingo chat games and prizes to further promote a community feel at my bingo site.

How do you think online bingo has changed since you first started playing?

I have only been playing online bingo for around a year but even in such a short time there have been many changes. As I mentioned I report about US bingo which has been hit massively by the passing of the UIGEA which prohibits the transfer of funds from a financial institution to an internet gambling site. This has made internet gambling very difficult Americans but the US online bingo sites that do continue to offer their bingo games to US citizens continue to offer a great variety of games and also promote a bingo community feel. If the law is changed in the future it will be good for the whole online bingo world as European bingo sites would then accept US players and the numbers of players on these sites and the jackpots on offer would both go up.

What has been your biggest win playing online bingo?

To be honest my biggest win is only a modest twenty quid but I’m not a massive gambler. Now if I can find a free online bingo game or if I can get cash to play free bingo with when I sign up like at Foxy Bingo, then I’m a very happy boy!

What do you think is most important to the success of any given bingo site?

I think that honesty and fairness are crucial to the success of any bingo site. We’ve all heard of online scams of phoney sites or sites with stooges playing for them. That’s why I will only play online bingo at trusted sites like those reviewed here.
