Online Bingo sites Focus on Free Bingo
Many online bingo sites now seem to be dropping their free bingo no deposit sign up deals and focusing on free bingo games instead…………..but is this the way forwards? In my opinion participating in free bingo games from time to time is all well and good, but they are not something I would want to play on a daily basis. After all let’s be honest in most instances you are competing against hundreds of other players for prize money ranging between £1 and £10.
Now I am not knocking free bingo game play completely, as it does bring you the chance to play (real play online bingo) every day of the week, without having to fund your account………but these types of games are certainly not what I would want to play all of the time. (This of course is just my view).
Wink Bingo will be one of the latest online bingo sites to do away with their free bingo no deposit sign up bonus, because as from 1st April it is due to be removed from their bingo site. Over the past few weeks we have seen Wink Bingo go more down the free bingo route, in fact they now have a whole section dedicated to free bingo play……….but I do have to say on some of their free bingo games, the prize money is worth playing for.
Foxy Bingo are another online bingo site which removed their free bingo no deposit sign up bonus and have focused on free play bingo and more and more bingo sites have been heading in this direction.
The problem with a free bingo no deposit sign up bonus is that it can be open to abuse. Online bingo sites have tried to tackle this problem by introducing further measures for players to complete upon sign up, like having to enter a valid debit or credit card for instance…………but even this has not eliminated the problem completely.
So along with free online bingo play and removing the free bingo no deposit bonus completely, bingo sites are also focusing on a better first deposit sign up deal. I do have to say that there are lots of pluses for players on this issue and one of the most important points is that because you have made at least one deposit into your account (upon sign up) winnings will then be eligible for withdrawal………..whereas if you are playing at an online bingo site using their free bingo no deposit bonus, in lots of cases wins derived from it cannot be withdrawn from your account, or you would need to make a deposit first anyway before requesting a withdrawal.
On the downside of this shift from bingo sites on the net, by removing their free bingo no deposit bonuses, it does mean we would need to make a deposit first before being able to check the bingo site in question out…………and that can put players off from taking a look at them in the first instance. After all, if you do sign up, deposit, don’t win and find you don’t like playing at the site……..that’s your money down the bingo toilet.
