FreeBingo Launch New Site of the Month Feature

FreeBingo.co.uk has always been one of the best online bingo sites, offering completely free to play bingo games.

This month they have expanded on their offering with a new bingo directory and a special feature called Eric’s Site of the Month.

Every month, FreeBingo select one bingo website for an in-depth video review, which promises to deliver more information for prospective players than any other bingo portal.

FreeBingo are keen to empower their players with all the information they need to choose a pay site to play at, and this is a step in the right direction. We’ve seen video content on bingo portals before, but most are just TV adverts embedded into a news story, and even those that are an actual video of the game in play are often without any sound or commentary.

We think it is a great idea and we will be keeping a close eye on which sites FreeBingo chooses to review next.

 

Is free bingo really free?

Free Bingo is everywhere. But what’s the catch? How can winning money and prizes really be 100% free? What’s the deal?

First you have to think about what site you are playing on, and why that site is offering you free bingo. Do they have advertising? Are they trying to make you deposit further along the line? Are the free games a reward for playing regularly or making deposits?

These are the main reasons why sites offer free bingo.

Most of the “play free win real cash” sites are simply using this to tempt you in, to get you used to playing their software, and then later on tempt you with a deposit offer to part with your money. There is no problem with this of course, so long as you have your eyes open when you join these sites.

When there is free money up for grabs, often there are hoops to jump through to play in those rooms, and then later to withdraw your money. For example, some sites won’t let you play in their free games unless you’ve made a deposit. Others will let you play, but won’t let you withdraw small amounts, so you end up using the money you won to play in the pay games, and then eventually you may make a deposit afterwards to continue playing.

The amounts are often very small, with hundreds of players all competiting to win jackpots as low as £1.

If you are playing these sites to win money, our advice is to ignore the free bingo games and find the best sites with deposit bonuses and no restrictions on withdrawal. Sites are clever and will have procedures in place to stop players abusing their free games and walking away with cash. So the best thing to do is keep to the cash games if you want to win cash.

If all you want to do is play bingo, and maybe pick up a few prizes, then sites like freebingo.co.uk are worth a look. These sites are free to play, but have advertising around the game. So long as a few players click these ads and make deposits, then the site remains free for all and they can fund some fairly decent prizes such as TVs and shopping vouchers.

So if you are looking for free bingo, follow our advice and you won’t go wrong further down the line.

Why People Love Free Bingo

Bingo is a favorite past time of many people all throughout the UK. It has not always been that way though. In recent years the popularity of bingo has skyrocketed through the roof and now rivals the popularity of the state run national lotto. The demographics that surround the game may surprise you as well. When you think about bingo I’m sure the image that pops into your head is one of your grandmother sitting in church, sipping on a Diet Coke, and listening to her pastor call out numbers that he has pulled from a ball machine. However, this is simply not the case. Many young people have taken to playing online bingo and the average age group is actually between twenty and twenty five years of age. Furthermore, more than ninety percent of online bingo players are well below the age of fifty.

The allure of bingo on the population of the UK can be attributed to many different things, first and foremost money. Many people find that there is no better way to entertain themselves than to sit in front of their computer and possibly win lots of money by imply pointing with their mouse and clicking a button. Alternatively, many people also find that playing free bingo is just as exhilarating as if they were playing for money. This may be due to the highly social atmosphere that most bingo web sites provide their members with. And it could be because they don’t have to leave the house on a cold winter’s night.

Playing Free Bingo Online

For many people, playing bingo is a favorite past time, however, you would guess that a majority of the bingo players in the UK are geriatrics who are just looking to pass the time. If you are one of those people who assumed this then you would be dead wrong. Most of the people who play free bingo online in the UK are actually in their mid to late twenties. Recent polls even suggest that up to ninety percent of players are well below the age of fifty. The rise in popularity in online bingo can in part be attributed to the high winnings that can be made from a winning card in a bingo game. Progressive bingo games generally build pots that can stretch into the thousands of pounds, making the allure of the game much higher than if you were competing for Aunt Edna’s pie at the local church function.

Playing free bingo online is one way that many people find useful as a way to become acclimated with their surrounding on whichever site you may wish to play on. Getting used to the functions of the web site as well as how to properly navigate and chose the right games and rooms is highly aided by free play that is offered by many online bingo websites. In addition to free play that is geared towards adjustment, players can also play for free for money. As a new member to most sites you will be given credits that can be used as your initial buy in or simply be used to get a higher buy in for a lower price.
