What is it with free bingo money?

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

Many online sites now offer Free Bingo money and this is there to entice people to come and play at their site.

Online Bingo clubs offer you these incentives as a way of getting you the customer to try out that particular online site. Many sites may offer you these bonuses in different ways, it could be the offer of sign up bonuses, other sites may offer you incentives on there deposits so to get your free money you would need to deposit something first.

Free bingo money would be a certain amount that the on-line club would offer its new players as a one off bonus for becoming a member of there site. You can only play these bonuses at that club and they would also have withdrawal restrictions placed upon them, to stop people only registering with them for the free money.

A lot of online Bingo sites also give you deposit bonuses and these also amount to free money, at some these bonuses are offered to you instead of free money, sometimes you could receive as much as 300x your initial deposit these clubs could also offer a free registration bonus. Please just note, that all free money bonuses do have requirements that you would need to fulfill so it is always worth looking about to see which sites can offer you the best deals.

Many off the new online sites offer no deposit bonuses when you first open an account with them but sometimes you would need to register a valid Bank/Credit card to open the account. You would not need to deposit your own money to receive this free money but you would not be allowed to withdraw these funds until you have completed the particular sites bonus rules.

This is a very good way for you to take a look what clubs are you like the best and for you to experiment trying the sites and the what type of games they offer.

Please remember that no deposit bonuses and deposit bonuses are only promotional bonuses and are therefore offered only once per person; although other member’s of your household/family may also be eligible for the bonuses that are offered by completing the required fields but again you should always check this out with the relevant site in question, this information would be outlined in their terms and conditions.

Two fat ladies 88 – The Real Story?

Tuesday, August 21st, 2007

The story behind the two fat ladies 88 comes from a tale that was told in a club many years ago in a north east London bingo hall.

The caller from this particular club was a nice east London man renowned for his use of the cockney rhyming slang when calling the numbers generated by the number generator during the games he was the caller for i.e. two little ducks # 22, Gordon’s Den # 10. (Only it wasn’t Gordon’s den back then) He had been trying hard to come up with a suitable phrase for the number 88 but it deluded him for many weeks.

One night a few weeks later after having pondered this for a while his mother and aunt went along with him to the club he worked at for a night’s game and entertainment. Now his mother and aunt were lovely ladies who were lovely in everyway but were a bit larger than average.

After playing for some time they decided they would go to the bar and get some drinks for them all but as they stood up they blocked his view of the screen, he couldn’t be rude as it was family but he did think to himself will you two fat ladies sit down as he was missing the numbers being called.

Just as they moved away to get there drinks he noticed at that precise moment the number 88 was called, Putting two and two together he came up with 88 and he thought to himself that is great now I have my number 88 phrase.

Hence the phrase was coined. From that point on he used the term when ever he was working and called the number 88, two fat ladies 88 came into being it is used across the world today in many bingo halls as well as in on-line Bingo. Many of the number sayings or bingo lingo comes from rhyming slang this is just one of many sayings relating to the numbers called.

We cannot be sure this is the real reason that the two fat ladies 88 came into being but its one of many humorous stories told.
