Bingo No DepositWhere to play free bingo & no deposit bingo!

A month after the dropping of their £15 no deposit bingo bonus,

It looks like the reason for this move is clearer – Joy of Bingo, an affiliate network which Wink Bingo was operating under is now offering 3 other brands – Posh Bingo, which was there for a while , and the newly launched Tasty Bingo and Red Bus Bingo. It looks like the network is working to partly syndicate these sites to create a network of online bingo sites, similar to the Cashcade network which has Foxy Bingo and other sites.

The reason I believe so, is that the a joined promotion has launched across all 4 sites – Wink Bingo, Posh Bingo, Tasty Bingo and Red Bus Bingo which allows players to combine their bonus points from the four sites to get free bingo cards.

The Joy Pot offers £100,000 guaranteed annually across 4 games this year (£25K each game), which allows players to collect points for this game by doing all sorts of things, with every 500 points are worth 1 free bingo ticket to the game – for instance, emailing what you would do with the Joy Pot would grant you 20 points.

As mentioned, the points from every site can be combined and used together, something that was not available before on Joy of Bingo sites, which is why we believe that Joy of Bingo is about to become an online bingo network of sites.

We were pleased to see that the newly launched Bingo Hollywood site is offering no deposit bingo games to let new members test the site out.

Hollywood is a new bingo site focusing on the whole Hollywood star theme – it appears like the people behind it have realized the big competition going on in the market and are offering some of the attractive bonuses at the moment. The nicest thing about Bingo Hollywood is that you can play the site without funding your account – there are certain no deposit bingo games like the Screen Test, Back Lot and Free Jackpot Rooms – these are all free bingo rooms – you can play them without buying anything whether you are funded or non funded member.

Launched only 3 days ago on April 15th, Bingo Hollywood is already creating a lot of buzz among the online bingo community – you know our take on online bingo, we are all for bingo sites that let you play before you spend anything: if  the site is good then they have nothing to hide!

Every year bingo portals and magazine struggle to point the best bingo sites and give away awards in certain categories like best CM, best software, best free bingo sites etc. Going towards the middle of 2010, it’s a good time to predict which sites stand out so far and can be considered as the best bingo sites of 2010 and which will be the best no deposit bingo sites. While usually these titles got divided by the big brands operating for years no, 2010 saw the launch of quite few new sites at considerable investments such as Red Bus Bingo, Polo Bingo… Which could actually break the dominance of the old established names. One of these new sites, for example, is Titan Bingo, one of the most interesting sites launched recently which created some buzz prior to its launch. The reason for the increased interest was the people behind it – Titan Bingo is the expansion of the Titan Group into the online bingo market – this group has lots of experience in the gambling and gaming industry, and operates one of the most popular poker websites out there, as well as Titan Casino. The new bingo site is powered by the Playtech software – once a download only software which evolved to a full no download flash software about a year ago and is gaining increasing popularity. Playtech has began investing a lot of time money and efforts in their bingo software in the past six year and is working to perfect it all the time, which makes the sites it operates like Bingo Day and the new Titan Bingo very attractive. Will Titan manage to excel and really become one of the best bingo sites of the year? Time will only tell, but for now it looks pretty promising, and it’s nice to see the big brands having someone breathing down their neck, something the players can only benefit from.

Golden Hat swims upstream in online bingo, and will offer a no deposit bonus for new registrations.

New members at Golden Hat will be getting £1 free to test the site out and play a little, without pulling out their credit card. Why so little?, Well, Golden Hat say this amount is enough to get a sense of the site ang games, and it prevents the inflation of players that reduces the chances of depositing members to win.

There is some truth to this – one of the problems presented by online bingo sites like Wink Bingo as reason for the dropping of such bonuses, is the fact that a lot of people come in, claim the bonus and play with it, just to move on to the next site and claim another bonus. This increases the amount of random players in the games, and reduces the chances of winning for loyal depositing players.

Golden Hat Bingo claims the their offer is the best solution fore this – while still allowing prospective players to evaluate the site no strings attached, the bonus is limited for evaluation purposes only and prevents bingo bonus abusing.

Jackpot City Bingo adds to the list of online bingo sites deciding to to drop their no deposit bingo bonus.

After reading about Wink Bingo’s decision to eliminate the £15 no deposit offer for new member, which was featured on the site ever since its launch two years ago (originally scheduled for March 1st but delayed until the end of the month), we now hear of another site – Jackpot City Bingo, which changes their £25 bonus from a no deposit offer to a free bingo bonus given on the first deposit. This changes thier welcome promotions that remained steady ever since their re- launch last year.

What can I tell you guys – I think the no deposit concept is dead… almost all the sites that featured such an offer eliminated it. Is it because players got greedy and signed up just for the bonus? could be, although we still feel the best way to evaluate an online bingo site is by playing around a little before putting any money in.
