Welcome to 2009!

Hi friends, and a warm welcome to each one of you into the New Year! Thanks for rallying around us and appreciating our efforts in getting you the latest updates on the bingo world.

We’ve promised to pack in more punch on to Virtual Bingo with sneak peeks at what all your favorite sites are working on. By the way, there really is a lot you can look forward to as a regular bingo player….

For one, expect the games to get zanier and interactive. The competition is getting hotter, and well, that does spell good times for us players!

For newbies, online bingo sites plan to stretch their handholding much longer, and the bonuses and cash back guarantees will get only better. Bingo 2009 will hopefully be a landmark year for first time bingo players when online bingo will take an absolutely new turn.

Other than fresh ideas for games, online bingo sites are adding value to player’s time with shopping festivals and bonus points on the purchases they make. Bingo Flash is one such, where players can pile up on their bonuses while shopping for anything from perfumes to shoes!

Online bingo is also looking at enhancing the player’s experience at the site with lifestyle magazines. Bingo 2009 is likely to be a more enriching year once these projects do take off!

There’s also a scramble to get the best deals across to loyal players. So while you continue to invest the same, expect bigger payouts in cash and in kind. The goodies are also likely to reach out to more players with a new hierarchy that online bingo sites are working on.

We’ll keep you posted, friends with all the highs (and the lows, though we doubt there will be any!) all through 2009. So stay with us, and of course, keep bingo-ing!! Have a splendid 2009!

For the first time bingo players, there is no better place to start than a site that offers a good bingo welcome bonus. A welcome bonus or no deposit bingo bonus is the free money paid out by online bingo sites to encourage new players to sign up. Devised to increase the number of players frequenting online bingo rooms, this bonus ranges anywhere from $5 to $50, depending on site to site. It works as an introductory offer to attract new bingo players, along with experienced or novice players looking for a change from their regular bingo site. Generally a welcome sign up bingo bonus is an independent sum of money given as a one-time welcome gift to all the new players who register for an account. With the welcome bonus, you can not only try the site for free, but you can also win jackpots while participating in other tourneys.

A welcome bonus is usually credited into the player’s bingo account, enabling them to play more bingo for almost no initial investment. These bonuses range from free cash to try the site to items such as t shirts, caps, mouse pads or an automatic entry into some tourneys or other bingo contests. Most online bingo sites even give welcome bonuses to players before they are required to make any type of initial deposit. However, there are certain sites where you may need to make a minimum deposit before claiming your free bonus money. Thus, it’s always advisable to read the rules and regulations of the site before signing up.

Thanks to the competition between online bingo sites, very generous welcome bonuses are being paid out to new and old players alike. Quite contrary to traditional bingo times when players used to play at one or two bingo halls, the online player may be a member of several different online bingo sites and manage active bingo accounts at all of them.

The opportunity to gain extra bingo cash simply by playing a game of bingo at a new site has caused a high level of movement in the online bingo industry. On internet, players can register with ‘N’ number of new bingo sites everyday and get free bonus money to play. Many players take advantage of their initial bonus but then may not return. This is why most professional online bingo operators offer a range of loyalty bonuses along with the welcome bonus to persuade customers to register and continue.
