More and more bingo sites are setting up shop, which means more choice and more players. As glass half full people, we see this as a great thing – more choice, more people to meet, more ways to win! But at the same time, an increased amount of players means online bingo operators are going to extra special lengths to keep their roomies coming back for more. The not so subtle bribery of big money promotions often works a treat, but there are several online bingo sites out there that are going that extra step when it comes to really interacting with their roomies. The result? A better online bingo experience for all involved!
See, here’s what we believe: bingo players are not only looking for a big money win, it’s also important to find an online bingo site that shows you it cares. It all started with a few Facebook pages and maybe a newsletter here and there. In fact, sign up to any decent online bingo site and you’ll find there are plenty of ways online bingo uses social tools to make you feel wanted and included. But recently, there have been a couple of online bingo sites that have really taken it to the next level, talking with their roomies rather than just throwing promos and info at them.
First up is those lovely folk at 888Ladies Bingo, who regularly quiz their roomies via some great polls on their 888Ladies Bingo blog. Extra bingo points can be awarded for roomies getting involved in the conversation, which we think is always a nice incentive. They also boast a weekly “Facebook Player of the Week”, which practically throws bonus points at the lucky roomie… and add to that the news that 888Ladies have recently expanded their chat rooms at their roomies request, and you’ll see this ain’t no one way street when it comes to interacting.
Something which the folk at Tea and Bingo seem to also understand. We were thoroughly impressed when Tea and Bingo launched last year, because since they burst onto the scene, they have been making a bit of a name for themselves as one of the most switched on bingo sites around. Their latest promo is no different – at the moment, you could bag a £30 bonus for coming up with the brand new name for Tea and Bingo’s brand new 90 ball bingo room. All existing and new roomies at Tea and Bingo can enter, which makes it a fab promo for getting players really involved in a bingo site.
So why is this so important? Well, call us crazy, but we think a bingo site that actually wants to listen to us rather than just chuck a load of games at us is probably worth ten times more than a big money jackpot. Because the chances are, you ain’t gonna scoop that £1m prize… but to know that you are playing at a bingo site that actually gives a damn about your opinions, well, that’s something else. It’s great for an online bingo site because they can start to build a real sense of loyalty amongst their players. And it’s great for players because they can play at a site that makes them feel as special as they are. Real interaction with bingo players looks set to become bigger and better – and we for one think it’s priceless!
