Obama at Gala Bingo

19th January 2009 2:31 AM

Did you know that many online bingo sites host bingo games where a percentage of the money spent is donated to charity? This is becoming more and more popular amongst the giants in online bingo and the latest takes the name of the new US President; Obama at Gala Bingo. The charity games began last week but they will continue to play until 23rd January.

The reason for the name Obama at Gala Bingo is that the face of this bingo promotion is Kezia Obama; the step-mother of the new US President who is to be inaugurated this week. Kezia has been described by the Sun newspaper as a hardcore bingo player because she attends 3 bingo sessions a week and was described as being “excited” to be the face of this latest promotion from a giant amongst bingo sites, Gala Bingo.

Kezia and Gala Bingo are hoping to raise other £1 million for the Sue Ryder Care charity during the two weeks of Obama at Gala Bingo. This will be done because Gala Bingo have pledged to donate 10 pence for every £1 pound spent on bingo cards for one hour every day until 23rd January.

It’s great to see many online bingo sites choosing to host charity bingo promotions and as a bingo player it must give a warm glow to know that by playing a couple of games of online bingo you are contributing toward a worthy cause like Sue Ryder Care.
