With Game Village bingo going crazy throughout the month due to the celebration of its 2nd birthday, this has been a top hotspot for exciting bingo games and boosted jackpots all month long.
Next Monday it’s already June, and although I’m sure there’ll be another month of great promotions, it won’t be the same as this celebratory month at Game Village bingo. So I’d thoroughly recommend popping into Game Village Bingo this weekend and making the most of the last few days of the mega birthday bash bingo games while you can.
The evenings is when the online bingo action really spices up at Game Village bingo, every night at 10pm the special Birthday Bingo Hour kicks off. During these 60 minutes, all bingo balls that have a #2 in them are stuffed with extra goodies and cash prizes.
So if you win a bingo on bingo ball #22 (May 22 is the Game Village Bingo actual birthday) you’ll win not only the game jackpot, but an extra cash prize of £222!
Also any bingo that you win where the last ball has a number 2 in it means your neighbours in the game get £2 worth of free bingo cards for the very next game – an excellent way to make loads of new friends while you play online bingo!
Finally there’s a late night bingo game scheduled for 11.30pm every night which is the Birthday Hot Balls game with a cool £2,222 jackpot waiting to be scooped up nightly. Ideal for night owls and bingo enthusiasts looking for a juicy bundle of cash to party the weekend away!
I’ll definitely be wandering around the virtual bingo village these next few days to make the most of the May birthday bash bingo promotions and grabbing a few extra free online bingo games while I can, and I can’t wait to see what goodies will be up for grabs next month too!

A great new feature has been added to the WinkBingo site, a daily event diary. Directly accessible from the front page, players will now be able to find out at a glance what online bingo goodies and treats are available for the day.
A really simple idea but incredibly effective. A proper scheduler is a must for any follower of online bingo games, as the demands of players are great. With the extreme competitiveness of the UK bingo sites at the moment, bingo fans are flitting from site to site and looking out for the big jackpot games.
With the addition of the event diary at Wink Bingo, it’ll be much easier to keep track of what’s happening and when, an extra insurance for players who don’t want to miss out on that big bingo game jackpot!
I for one am very glad that they’ve finally got a schedule. Another bingo site recently that’s clarified its bigger jackpot games at least, is 888ladies. Again, this can only have a positive effect on the site, as all the information you need is at your fingertips.
In spite of being very capable multi-taskers, and able to play bingo games and instant games simultaneously plus a ton of other things too, bingo fans need to know what’s happening so that we can adjust our schedules accordingly. So well done to the Wink Bingo crew once again for stepping up to the mark and making our lives easier and more fun too!

I don’t know if you’ve taken a peek at 888ladies bingo, but they’ve been dressing up in shiny new clothes over the past few weeks, and the site is looking really hot right now.
Not only do they now openly display all the chunky online bingo jackpots available, but you can see a full schedule of big bingo games for every day of the week, which gives us bingo fans the freedom to plan ahead and make sure we can prebuy our tickets for the juiciest bingo jackpot games.
And there’s an awful lot of jackpots up for grabs nowadays at 888ladies bingo which makes it a thrilling place to play bingo online. The recently introduced daily free bingo game is also a very appealing draw for new and old players alike, as there’s a very decent pot of £300 cash up to be won every single day – and the bingo tickets are absolutely free!
One of the trademark 888ladies bingo jackpots is coming up in a couple of days, it’s one thing that you should definitely grab bingo tickets for now. On Friday May 29 the mega £8,888 guaranteed jackpot plays, and with tickets at just £1 a shot, that’s an awful lotta dosh for not a lotta cash. If there’s one bingo game you play this month, let it be this one, as it promised to be tremendously exciting!

Game Village Bingo are two today! A truly bombastic weekend awaits all Game Villagers as they roll out the red carpets and celebrate the happy event with a ginormous online bingo party to remember.
Anything that has a #2 in it is special, be it £22 extra jackpots on Dingo games, £222 extra prizes if you bingo on#22, not to mention the mega £2222 guaranteed jackpot up for grabs later tonight.
This is one of my dead faves when it comes to online bingo sites, as it stands out from the crowd with its uniqueness. Not only do they have a delicious bundle of hot online bingo games, but you can find multiplayer games including Dingo and Supergems too, which will drive you to distraction when you compete with your bingo buddies. Elimination Bingo is another one of their great games which is excellent fun – basically playing bingo games backwards! I know it sounds crazy but it’s really great to play.
Game Village also have their unique virtual bingo village to which you’re given access to after you’ve made 3 deposits. You’re given your very own home in the bingo village, which opens up even more of a wealth of great bingo promotions and community fun and games, not to mention the late night house parties!
Game Village bingo also have their very own radio station, Bingo Radio, playing music and hosting competitions for players, karaoke events, you name it, the fun never stops.
All of us at Bingostreet would like to wish the folks at Game Village bingo a very happy 2nd birthday today, and many more to come!

I was extremely touched to hear some heartwarming news about a blind bingo fan in the USA who has been battling steadfastly to win the right to use audible bingo cards when she plays bingo.
51 year old Joanna Richardson hails from Rochester NY and is blind. A long-term bingo enthusiast, the only way she can comfortably play the bingo games at her local bingo hall is either with a companion, or by using audible bingo cards.
These special electronic bingo cards enable players to keep track of ball calls with the emission of beeps everytime a number can be daubed during a bingo game, and made playing bingo muuch easier for Joanna. However other bingo players complained about the noisy beeps and further use of the cards was disallowed by local bingo halls in her area, unless the cards were set to ’silent’ mode – an apparent contradiction in terms.
Joanna started campaigning against this decision and took the battle all the way to the NY Racing and Wagering Board, not letting up until victory was assured. She has now won the right to use her audible bingo cards wherever she plays bingo, and is happy to have won her battle.
“You have the control over the majority of what’s going on now” she said “You don’t feel like you’re throwing your money away. You know when you’re waiting and you know when you won. You can’t be cheated.” she was quoted saying.
Joanna can now set the card to make a beep when she has 1TG (one to go) or when she hits a bingo, which will allow her to play bingo again comfortable in the knowledge that she won’t miss out on a win (unless she falls asleep)!
What I found unsettling about this report was that apparently the entire issue appeared to have been caused by fellow bingo players, annoyed with the beeps emitted by the electronic bingo card. It just doesn’t seem to be in character of any bingo fan, whether you play bingo online or in a traditional bingo hall, to exclude someone from playing bingo games for such a selfish issue. My words might sound strong, but how would you play bingo if you were blind?
So from across the ocean, my hearty congratulations to Joanna for the courage to stick to her convictions and score a victory for blind bingo players, bless her cotton socks! And a noisy ‘Booooo sucks’ to all those individuals who complained. Shame on you.

Online bingo is such a fun pasttime these days you should get all your friends involved and enjoy the great community spirit while you chat and gossip online and play exciting bingo games.
Many online bingo sites give you extra bonuses or special offers when you refer your friends, which makes it great for both you and your friend, as you can both cash in on the event.
Referral programs for bingo sites tend to vary from site to site, but as a general guideline, you should only refer your friends to sites that you are already familiar with, and that you know and trust.
It won’t take long to find some good RAF offers (RAF is short for Refer A Friend). Wink Bingo have a nice promo where you can buy your friend a special gift voucher as a warm welcome to the site, and Wink Bingo actually doubles the value of the voucher – a nice touch methinks!
Another good site is Sun Bingo, also with a cool referral program, once you’ve signed up your friend you’ll receive £10 and so will your friend!
So take some time and check out your fave online bingo sites, the ones where you enjoy playing bingo online most, and see what kind of a referral program they offer. It’s definitely a great way to earn some extra cash, along with introducing your friends to an excellent new hobby! Enjoy!

By the time it comes to the end of the week I feel pretty knackered, and there’s nothing better to cheer me up then a good dose of free bingo. Free bingo seems to be on the menu at more and more bingo sites every week.
The latest online bingo site to introduce free bingo games is 888ladies – a free bingo game kicks off every weekday at 7pm with a cool £300 jackpot, and at the weekends the pot increases to £500! Very nice indeed!
Of course you have the twice daily free bingo at Wink Bingo, with £50 jackpot at 2pm and 7.30pm which is also a great place to play, one of my dead faves in fact.
And only a few weeks ago Posh Bingo relaunched with 2 whole bingo rooms dedicated to free bingo games – non-stop around the clock! Randomised jackpots from £1 up to £15 and hours of glorious fun!
So if it comes to Friday night and you’re outta cash, don’t worry, you can always spend nothing and have a fantastic night in playing free bingo online at any one of these top bingo sites. Perhaps I’ll see you there this weekend!

Wow am I excited to hear about the launch of a daily free bingo game at 888ladies – cool bananas! 888ladies is another one of my fave bingo sites, mainly because they’ve been around for a while, and also I just love their unique name of their site – no need to include a ‘bingo’ – everyone just knows! Pretty cool if you ask me.
Anyway, on to the main theme of the day, the brand new free bingo games at 888ladies. These are scheduled to play once a day at 7pm in the 75 Bubbly Bingo room. Bingo tickets are absolutely free and you can grab a strip of 6 for each game. You can also pre-purchase your tickets for the next game as soon as the clock hits 7.01pm, to make sure you don’t miss out on any free bingo action.
During the week the free bingo game jackpots are set at a guaranteed £300, pretty hot for a free bingo game, eh?! And at the weekend the jacks shoot up to £500 a pop!!!
The very first free bingo game kicks off tonight at 7pm and you can bet your bottom dollar that the li’l ole 75 Bubbly Bingo room will be absolutely crowded out to the max – boy is there gonna be a party there tonite!
Enough of the gushing about the latest free bingo games, and see you down there tonight!

GameOn Bingo is a new site on the block, but has leapt into the forefront of the online bingo scene with its thrice weekly huge jackpot bingo games, each offering a super cool £1,000,000 jackpot.
Of course these are all coverall jackpots, which means that you need to have all the numbers on your bingo card daubed within a certain number of ball calls in order to win the grand prize jackpot. Every ball call that it takes after this to get a full house reduces the jackpot in size, until you get down to the guaranteed minimum prize.
So the thrice weekly £1 Million coverall jackpot bingo games aren’t guaranteed jackpots, but the challenge is to overcome the randomness of the balls and cover your bingo card as quick as you can. If you pass the test you walk home with a cool million in cash!
It’s also great that you can pre-purchase your cards for these games, meaning that you don’t have to rush home and switch on the computer after a few drinks in the pub. Once you’ve bought your online bingo cards, everything happens automatically, and this might even be the key to you winning £1 Million when you’re not even there!
You’ll also find a ton of cool promotions up for grabs at GameOn Bingo, including a cruise on the Mexican Riviera (wow), free gym membership, a flatscreen TV and many more promos and bingo games with gifts and cash prizes to be won.
GameOn Bingo is presented by Littlewoods Gaming, which gives it a nice advantage in the hustle and bustle of online bingo UK, as players can join secure in the knowledge that their personal data is safe.
