We have posted many stories of true love found in the world of online bingo. And as the game grows, more and more online bingo sites are welcoming more men to it’s traditionally female customer base. Add to the mix social networking and chat functions, and it seems that love is most definitely in the air at many an online bingo site. But in the run up to Valentine’s Day 2010, more sites have been muscling in as they attempt to score their players a full house in love. In fact, 2010 has seen more promo’s than ever before. So should online bingo be making such a big effort to bring it’s roomies together? Or are all of these matchmaking attempts destined to be a turn-off for online bingo players
Never a stranger to innovation, the guys at Wink Bingo have managed to go one step further than many rivals. Whilst most other sites are encouraging their players to strike up a love match with heart bingo patterns and special chat games, or reward couples with special games and romantic prizes for two, Wink Bingo are offering something a little bit different. The promo features the search for Mr and Miss Wink Bingo.
One of the first singles competitions hosted by an online bingo website, female players are invited to register in the first 9 days of February. Then it’s the turn of would be knights in shining armour, with Wink Bingo’s male players registering their interest from the 12th to the 24th of February. The winners will be announced on the 26th. Sounds a bit like prom night? Well, here is the twist. Once Miss Wink is chosen, she can then choose Mr Wink from the top five entrants… leading to a bit of Blind Date matchmaking and a hot date, courtesy of Wink Bingo!
With online bingo increasingly focusing on the socialising aspects of their sites in an attempt to lure players, it seems that such attempts to play Cupid may become more popular. It is a given that the publicity an online bingo site could attract with a story of true love is just as priceless as the love match itself. And sure enough, it reflects the changing demographics of bingo that online bingo has contributed to. More than ever, a younger mix of players are spending time playing online bingo. It is fast becoming an activity to rival a night out – and therefore surely presents similar opportunities to meet likeminded people!
Being the old fashioned romantics we are, if such promotions lead to true love, then all the more credit to the bingo site! Although we can’t see all online bingo sites playing Cilla with their roomies, we have a feeling that love may become a side game that some single roomies will be more than happy to play in the future.
