Online bingo welcome bonuses

1st October 2009 12:29 AM

It can be very difficult to make head or tail of the online bingo welcome bonuses that the various bingo sites offer. What can be even more difficult is understanding which are the best ones, but this really depends on what is best for you, just as it would when you play bingo at any internet bingo sites. However, you may feel that you are just getting to grips with how these bonuses work and you then find that they start to change, which is what could be about to happen now.

Foxy Bingo is the latest site to make a change, albeit temporary, it does make you wonder what the reason is behind it.

Most online bingo sites at one point offered all new players free money to play at their site with. This free money was exactly what it says, and no deposit was required. However, those bingo sites that did offer this free money tended to offer a lower first deposit bonus than those bingo sites who didn’t offer the free money. We have found over recent months that various bingo sites have been losing the free money in favour of a higher deposit bonus, like Bingo Scotland did earlier this month. The reasoning behind this can only be speculated, but over the last few days it has been noticed that one or two bingo sites have been offering this free money for a limited or unspecified  time. We can only assume that this is to link in with an upcoming promotion and only time will tell if this assumption is correct.

In all it may be time to start considering free money for new players a thing of the past. With some bingo sites dropping this offer and then other adopting it for limited periods, it seems that some bingo sites find this free bingo money more alluring to players if they can use it in line with another promotion or offer. With competition so high between internet bingo sites today, other bingo sites will be left with little choice but to follow them to a certain degree as they have with offering free bingo.
