When it comes to advertising an online bingo brands there are many people that we would put at the fore and plenty of celebrities that have already given their endorsement to certain brands. However, there are a few people that you wouldn't ever imagine fronting an advertising campaign for a bingo brand, Vinnie Jones being one of them. However, whilst it may not seem the obvious choice for the Daily Star Bingo and Games commercial, it certainly works!

When you visit your local bingo hall you're probably on waving terms with the staff and maybe you even exchange a few pleasantries but one lucky lady shared a bit more with an assistant at her local hall recently. Shirley Gardner, 66, had been playing at the Brierley Hill Mecca Bingo with her daughter and was more than happy with her £55 win but on the way out of the hall she began to feel a little breathless.

Franco Lumba was previously the owner of the Kingston Gala Bingo hall. During his time as owner he ripped up the floor of the historic building before selling the property to CNM Estates for a reported £2.6 million. The dance floor was left in piles of rubbles and Kingston Council fined Mr Lumba a substantial amount. More recently Mr Lumba has been declared bankrupt.

Foxy Bingo first launched a mobile offering for their games a few years ago but recent developments with 888 (the software provider for the brand) have meant that the new mobile gaming experience from Foxy is far better. When Foxy first went mobile it was using the Probability Games software and the gaming experience was not great at all, with the change it’s an altogether more enjoyable experience playing on the go.

Daily Star Bingo, like Daily Express Bingo and Cyberbingo, was originally part of the Cyberbingo network. This network closed in April 2011 that meant all three brands, along with a few others, ceased to offer bingo to online players. Recently we saw Daily Express Bingo re-launch with Claire Sweeney as the face of their brand and now Daily Star Bingo stages a comeback with Vinnie Jones as the celeb fronting their site.

The Queen of Bingo has taken back her throne at Jackpot Joy and is back in a new advert for the brand. The new commercial has been launched to coincide with a new promotion at the site called Quickity Pick and looks like a gameshow. The audience, and players at the site, are asked to pick which of the three gentlemen dressed in kilts is a ‘true’ Scotsman.

When Kitty Bingo first opened to players in September 2012 they offered a no deposit required welcome bonus of £10 free. In March of this year this bonus was changed to £2.50 free for bingo and ten free slot spins. Just over a month later the bonus structure from this brand has changed yet again!

Gala Bingo are currently running a promotion to find a winning face to star in the next commercial for the brand. The lucky person with a face to launch a thousand balls will also get to meet Blue! To get the competition off to a flying start the brand combined the features of eleven famous people, male and female, to create two winning faces.

The Advertising Standards Agency (ASA) recently received a complaint about the commercial for Vernons Bingo that featured a dog dressed in a bingo ball. The complainant suggested that the ad was misleading because a) it did not make it clear that you have to deposit £10 in order to receive the £30 free b) that any winnings derived from an initial deposit and receipt of bonus had to be wagered four times.

The BJ’s Bingo hall in Leigh have contacted the Leigh Journal to inform them that they have dozens of bingo books and single tickets to give away to charities and organisations that may be planning on hosting a fundraising bingo event.
