The WhichBingo Site of the Year 2009 was Jackpot Joy and they proudly show the award on the page. This isn’t a surprise as it’s a long established bingo and games site. The first thing that grabs your attention on the site is Barbara Windsor their self-proclaimed Queen of Bingo. If you watch East Enders you will get the odd image of the Queen of Bingo pulling pints behind that bar at the Queen Vic. For older readers, you will immediately think of all of those great black and white ‘Carry On’ films.

Offering a wide range of slots machines, multi-line slots, instant win games, and casino games like blackjack, roulette and poker Jackpot Joy offers much more than just bingo. There are also a range of TV branded games including ‘Red or Black’ and ‘Deal or no Deal as well as lots of big progressive jackpots. The highlight of their bingo offering is Bingo Royale, featuring a cartoon version of the Queen of Bingo, as well as the standard Bingo 90 and Bingo 75.

Looking at the second site, Jackpot Bingo, this is a bright splash of bright pink and lazer blue, designed to pull you in to their exciting array of games. Unlike JacjotJoy this site is much more focused on being  a bingo site.  There’s 75 ball and 90 ball bingo and, just what I’m looking for, a massive progressive jackpot known as ‘Diamonds Are Forever’. The site proudly pronounces that if offers a £!m jackpot available every Friday !! Wowzer…… !! Jackpot Bingo also gives you the chance to play a range of other games.  There’s a very exciting X-Factor game, video poker, instant games, slots, super slots, and table games. As Jackpot Bingo is part of a network of sites, there are some great jackpots available here.

So if it’s big jackpots you are after, try JackpotBingo or Jackpot Joy….. it’s all in the name!

Last year the award was scooped by former X-Factor star Stacey Solomon, who will sit on this years judging panel – despite being heavily pregnant with her second child. After doing well on the X-Factor, Essex-girl Solomon later went on to win I’m A Celebrity.

The shortlist hasn’t been announced yet, but we are expecting to see the likes of Victoria Beckham and Amanda Holden make it after they both gave birth to new babies recently. Amanda Holden in particular went through a very stressful birth and is surely a hot contender.

Nominations are currently being put forward via the Foxy Friends magazine. Voting is also open for the “Foxy Mum of the Year”, which will be awarded to one of Foxy Bingo’s own players.

If you are a member of Foxy Bingo, you can expect the latest issue of Foxy Friends magazine to land through your letter box any day now!

They are giving away £100,000 in prizes between December 1st up to Christmas Eve as part of an Adevent Calender game on the site. To take part, all you need to do (or have done) is spend £2 on Tombola since November 1st 2011.

The Advent Calendar game is free to play each day, and the game has a minimum guaranteed prize of a £5 bonus, while there’s lots of bigger, better, prizes ranging from £10 up to £5,000 – in cash!

On the first 3 days of the Advent Calendar tombola will be letting players open the previous days doors. This means if you are a couple of days late and miss the first few, there’s no panic and you can still see the first 3 doors.

When a player clicks on a date in the calendar, different symbols will be revealed. The aim of the game is to match three symbols which are the same during the 24 days of the promotion.

A special christmas party is also planned at Tombola bingo for December 19th. This will give everyone the chance to win one of five £2,000 prizes between 8pm and 10pm.

Keep in mind that you have to dab your bingo cards manually when playing at local bingo halls. Make sure you have proper dabbers and that you only play a certain number of bingo cards you can watch. Playing too many bingo cards will surely make the game less enjoyable, especially because you will be too busy trying to keep up.

Don’t bang your dabber while marking the called numbers. Instead, dab gently and make sure the right number is marked. Dabbing forcefully will only cause the dabber to leak and make the bingo card unusable.

Don’t forget to be friendly to other bingo players around you. Share one or two bingo cards as a friendly gesture and get to know other players more. The game will be so much more enjoyable now that you have fellow bingo players enjoying the fun with you.

Make sure you don’t disturb others around you as well. Don’t yell numbers loudly and make sure you mark all the called numbers before yelling Bingo. Other players will surely appreciate your friendliness and will treat you nicely in return.

You can allocate more bingo cards when playing for large cash jackpots in order to increase your chances of winning. Make sure you manage your bingo bankroll appropriately so that you don’t end up spending more than you can afford. Most sites have a maximum limit of 12 cards, which means you can only play 12 bingo cards per round, although some sites allow you to play up to 25 bingo cards at once.

You should also pick the right time to pursue large cash jackpots. There are sessions when fewer players would compete for the cash prize, which means you’ll have better chances at winning the grand jackpot if you play during these low sessions. Be wise about timing your pursuit because playing against fewer players translates to huge advantage in terms of winning edge.

Even when you are pursuing large cash jackpots, you must still focus on smaller prizes available. These smaller prizes can help you stay profitable in the long-run while at the same time extends your bingo bankroll’s capability for the pursuit for gigantic jackpots.

First of all, make sure the site offers bingo games at the stake you can afford. Some bingo sites might offer bingo cards for as low as 1p, while other sites might offer bingo cards for a minimum of 10p or 25p. Make sure you choose the right site with proper bingo card denomination so that you can manage your bingo bankroll easily.

Don’t forget to look into banking options offered by the bingo sites. This way, you can easily fund your account by making deposits as well as withdraw winnings whenever you want to. Neteller, credit or debit cards, and wire transfer are among the common banking options offered by top bingo sites.
