Here is a sneek peek for our Mothers Day Promotion.

This Mothers Day we are going to treat you all through the day by a lush hamper packs called “relax, take a bath”. These will be given out at random through out the day by our CMs in order to give you a lovely Mothers Day surprise. You won’t know when or where they will be given out… but I’ve heard on the grapevine that the winners will be a 1, 2 line or full house bingo winner. In other words you have to be in it to win it!

The best is yet to come though, because at 7.30pm in room 2 we will be giving away a fabulous fancy sapphire ring from the lovely people over at Gems TV.

They tell us that “well over half a carat of gorgeous princess cut multi coloured sapphires and pave set round diamonds have been used to create this beautiful piece, set perfectly into 14k yellow gold.”

And I think its beautiful! If I was Gems TV I would call it the Sapphire Rainbow Ring because the sapphires are in all colours of the rainbow… what do you think?

If you want to get your hands on more fantastic peices like this why not check out Gems TV. They are on Sky Channel 646 & 660 and Virgin Channel 755 & 756, and freeview Channel 43 from 9.45am until 12.45pm.

Bingo Scotland was the highest placed Scottish bingo site in Which Bingo’s UK Site of the Year awards, with Think Bingo finishing in first place. Bingo Scotland’s CM Team was also voted the UK CM Team of the Year.

London, UK (PRWEB) January 15, 2008 — Bingo Scotland has enjoyed huge success in both the Which Bingo Site of the Year and Which Bingo CM Team of the Year awards.

The site was the highest placed Scottish bingo site in the prestigious Which Bingo Site of the Year awards (voted for by bingo players nationwide), with their team of Chat Moderators running out clear winners in the equally esteemed UK CM Team of the Year vote, beating a myriad of site from across the UK.

Not only did Bingo Scotland finish as the highest placed Scottish bingo site, they finished above national uk bingo operators such as Gala Bingo and Sun Bingo. The Site of the Year Award was won by Think Bingo.

Bingo Scotland’s Ben Starr welcomed the results: “We’re particularly delighted with our results as they showcase Bingo Scotland’s popularity amongst those best qualified to judge the best from the rest - online bingo players themselves. To be the highest placed Scottish bingo site is testament to Bingo Scotland’s position as the most well established and largest Scottish Bingo site out there, and we’re pleased that our fabulous team of CMs have been justly recognised and rewarded as the best in the business anywhere in the UK. We’d like to thank our players for their continued loyalty and for making Bingo Scotland such a fun and inviting place to be.”

‘Roomie’ Liz Grimley, from Inverness, said: “Well done CMs and all at Bingo Scotland. Very well deserved and you are SIMPLY THE BEST!!!”, and Pamela Stewart from Midlothian made it clear why she feels Bingo Scotland stands out from the crowd, adding “there’s a real feeling of warmth from people in the rooms - a real sense of community”.

Bingo Scotland launched in October 2005 as the only dedicated Scottish online bingo offering, and has since cemented its position as the biggest Scottish Bingo Site. Tens of thousands of Scots have sampled the 24/7 bingo games and chat on offer. Over £20,000 is won every day by Bingo Scotland’s tight knit community of bingo fans, and there are numerous opportunities to win big jackpots every week on their progressive jackpot games and special big money coveralls.

The site welcomes new players to their friendly community every day, each receiving £5 free when they deposit £5 to their bingo account. One such newbie, Margaret Spearey, said: “Although a fairly newish member i felt i had to say how brilliant all the roomies are, making ya feel welcome and including you in chat. I’ve been to lots of other places, but it’s the friendly chat that makes Bingo Scotland so great. Thank you from all new members for being so flippin fantastic!!!”

Congratulations to Mccab1969, grand winner of the £124,211.34 slots jackpot at Bingos.co.uk! She wagered £60.75 on the “Bring Home the Bacon” slots on Tuesday evening and hit the huge jackpot! WTG Mccab1969! Play for Bingos’ jackpots, you can be our next grand winner!!!

I love BACON! I spent £500 of my winnings trying all the other slots (have always wanted to do, but just scared of losing much). Needless to say, “Bring Home the Bacon” is the best and most generous one (almost every spin gives a prize). You’ve got to love those piggies!

Thank you Bingos for this opportunity to win such a life-changing sum of money. I love reading Winners’ Testimonials on the site. ‘though I sometimes couldn’t believe with the amount of money they’re winning, couldn’t help wondering “are they real winners or just house players (like other bingo sites)?”. With all the guilt in the world, I’d like to scream with excitement “YES, THEY ARE REAL, I’M NOW ONE OF THEM, AND EVEN WON MORE” LOL! Sorry Bingos for this bit of doubt.

Honestly, I never imagined myself writing my own Testimonial now for winning this much.

www.BingoLotto.tv , a TV bingo game that is about to start on Virgin Media-owned channels in February this year, is expected to raise £16 million for various charities by the end of the first operational year.

The game originated in Sweden, where it is now making £100 million for a Swedish charity alone. The creators of the game are hopeful about potential prospects in the UK.

The game organisers promise to give a minimum of 20% of the total sales to good causes and different UK charities. The first two of the UK good causes that will benefit from the game’s profits are Central Council of Physical Recreation (the representative body for national sports organisations in the UK) and the National Council for Voluntary Organisations.

Gert Ekland is certain £16 million is about right for the first year of BingoLotto operations. She is also confident that the following year will double that figure.

“The game has been a huge success in Sweden, even more popular than the country’s national lottery,” Eklund explains. “It is the highest rating show in Scandinavian history, giving about £100m to good causes each year, and we hope to have the same success here in the UK.”

Visitors to online bingo site virgin bingo are being given the chance to enjoy a chat with magician Paul Daniels and his wife Debbie McGee this month.

Avid bingo enthusiasts will be able to ask the stars all manner of questions, while also sharing a magic trick or two with Paul.

The event will be taking place on Wednesday January 30th at 8pm and those wishing to take part can submit their questions by visiting the Virgin Bingo website.

According to Virgin, those getting their questions in early could be in line to win a “great prize” on the night.

Paul and Debbie are following in the footsteps of a number of celebs who have taken time out of their busy schedules to drop into Virgin such as Big Brother’s Nikki Grahame and Antony Worrall Thompson.

To mark the start of the new year, Virgin Bingo has launched a number of new promotions, including several new slot games.

The Financial Times is reporting that an extensive campaign by land-based bingo operators Rank and Gala Coral is putting UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Alistair Darling under increasing pressure to cut the current taxes causing so much trouble to the land-based bingo industry.

The campaign by Rank and Gala currently enjoys the support of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS).  DCMS is expected to make tax reform proposals relating to the bingo industry in its budget submission.  

ATE Online is reporting, however, that the UK government believes that the land-based bingo sector’s problems are of a more endemic nature and that a simple change to the tax structure will not solve the industry’s current problems.

Neil Goulden, CEO at Gala Coral was quoted in the Financial Times as saying: “The message we are giving the chancellor and the prime minister is ‘if you give us the same tax treatment as other gambling industries, it will be an investment that will drive up admissions’.”

Land-based bingo has faced the twin threats of a ‘double tax’ on its earnings and the loss of customers due to a UK-wide smoking ban in public places.  As a result, a number of bingo halls are facing closure around the UK with some operators already ceasing operations.  Online bingo games and online bingo halls are little affected by the smoking ban and taxation structure.

Experts say that the bingo industry could be dead within 12 months is the downward attendance figures keep falling.

In the last 8 months since the smoking ban came into effect, attendance at the once packed bingo halls across the UK has slumped.

Regular bingo goers are staying at home to avoid the ban on smoking, which stops them combining their favourite activities.

More people are choosing to play online bingo instead.

One third of the countries 548 bingo halls are under threat of closure and many have already been forced to close due to sinking profits.

It is estimated that almost three quarters of a million people have quit the once greatly loved past time and it will be a sad day in the UK if Bingo is eradicated in 2008.

The results are in of Which Bingo site’s consumer research that was conducted in a form of a poll, aimed at determining the user preferences when it comes down to choosing online bingo operators. Think Bingo, one of the busiest online bingo sites, have taken the first place as the best bingo site of the year 2007.

The Which Bingo Site of the Year awards are aimed at finding the best bingo operator as reviewed by the online bingo users themselves. UK online bingo users have a chance to show their appreciation for the specific site they feel deserves it the most.

There were twice as many voters in 2007 than there were in 2006, which once again confirms the report issued by the Sunday Times about the growing popularity of online bingo halls and operators.

Interestingly, Think Bingo site only acquired the fourth place in 2006 pole, assuming a great improvement during the past year.
