Online bingo sites struck by summer madness virus - Online Bingo News

Online bingo sites all over the UK are coming down with an infectious virus - no, not the dreaded swine flu, it's the summer madness virus that incites bingo bosses to launch increasingly generous bingo promotions, much to the delight of online bingo fans!

There has never been a better time to play bingo online in the UK. The summer holiday months have seen a plethora of online bingo operators, one after the other, break news about the latest and greatest bingo promotions, each one better than the last, in an effort to beat the competition and increase membership and profits.

One of the first major bingo promotions launched this summer was announced by Wink Bingo at the beginning of July, in fact a bundle of summer bingo promotions packaged under the Summer Lovin' name. Including such delights as MoneyPenny (penny bingo games sporting cash jackpots of £1,000) and the star of the show, a bumper £25,000 guaranteed jackpot bingo game which will play in September, giving players plenty of chances to either purchase or earn tickets with Winktastic points.

Tombola Bingo followed up in mid-July with a massive free bingo promotion sporting a mega £100,000 cash jackpot prize, the biggest yet in free bingo history. Despite lasting for just one short week, millions of free bingo tickets were snatched up by eager players and as a result Tombola officially became the most visited bingo site in the UK. Six lucky bingo players split the £100K jackpot between them, ending up with a sizeable £16,666 cash prize each.

Less than a week later, another popular UK bingo site, Sun Bingo, made the bingo news headlines with an eye-popping bingo promotion offering 100 brand new Fiat cars up for grabs at the rate of one a day. The promotion was launched to celebrate more than £100 million paid out in cash prizes since the bingo site launched back in 2006.

Yesterday yet another bingo site succumbed to the summer madness virus, So Bingo is offering 3 new Mini Cooper cars up for grabs in the last 3 days of July.

Despite being one of the very few industries in the UK that's actually riding high during the economic crisis, online bingo operators cannot afford to sit back in spite of the bingo boom, and are persisting with evermore aggressive marketing campaigns and promotions to attract a larger and increasingly younger audience.

UK citizens needn't worry about the gloomy summer weather, or indeed the economic recession, as this is turning out to be an extremely hot and sizzling summer – at least as far as online bingo promotions are concerned. Forget about the lottery – your chances of winning a life-changing prize are that much better with bingo!
