Another Bingo Bonus–Marriage Proposals!
Playing internet bingo is well known as a great place for single men to meet ladies. Since a large majority of internet bingo players are women the odds are clearly in favor of men. Many a romance has blossomed through internet bingo and lively chat rooms on most bingo websites make it incredibly easy for men to meet and chat with several women. A recent report from the UK where internet bingo is incredible popular tells the story of an online marriage proposal. The happy couple met on a popular UK bingo website and romance took its course between a player known as daddybear1 and chat room host cuckoo2286. Daddybear1 contacted the website manager and asked for permission to make the marriage proposal during a popular game on March 12th.
Daddybear1 obtained permission and the die was cast. Daddybear1 told all his friends so they could join him online and share in the happy moment. Several of his friends logged on to the site to witness the proposal. Daddybear1s proposal read; “I wanted to do this in FreeBingo as this is where I met my partner. Kath Cuckoo Spencer I am asking you if you will do the honours of becoming my wife.” The proposal was nearly thwarted when a full house was called the moment the proposal appeared on the screen. Several roomies were posting excited messages and the proposal disappeared very quickly. The chat monitor Wayne saved the moment and told roomies what had just happened.
The prospective bride kept Daddybear1 in suspense saying, “I need to thinkkk.” A short time later the answer came when cuckoo2286 said; “I thought – and YESSSSSSSSSS.” The future bride said she initially missed the question and others in the chat room encouraged her to say yes. Cuckoo2286 stated, “I did miss the question, just saw someone say “say yes cuckoo lol”, so I did. But it makes no difference, I will say yes.”
There have been other instances of online bingo romances. Mike Hunt, from Norwich met his wife in an internet bingo chat room. Mike tells the story; “We had known each other for months and got on really well. She was divorced and I am a widower so we both enjoyed the company. “Eventually, we exchanged email details and finally got the courage up to send each other pictures. I thought she was beautiful and seven months later we both decided to tie the knot. So far, things have been great and we both still love our bingo together.” In addition to the possibility of romance internet bingo offers entertainment and great prizes and jackpots. Bingo sites are going all out and offer players huge bingo bonuses in addition to other player perks. Players can take advantage of a bingo sign up bonus and can double or even triple their initial deposit. Internet bingo has a lot to offer players and romance is frosting on the cake!
Online Bingo in The UK
The number 26 is often called as “bed and breakfast” and the number 59 as “Brighton line.” If you are familiar with these nicknames, then you must be an avid bingo player. In the UK bingo has its own traditions and culture. Bingo callers and bingo players even know and use special nicknames, like the “bed and breakfast,” for each of the numbers.
Bingo can be traced back to a lottery game called “Lo Giuoco Code Loto” played in Italy in 1530. From there, bingo traveled across the Alps into France, but it wasnt until the 1960s that Eric Morley brought modern bingo to the UK. Bingo was only regulated in the Gaming Act 1968 but can only be played in members-only clubs.
In 1986 the National bingo game was legalised, allowing the same game to be played simultaneously at bingo halls across the country. With the introduction of television and closing of cinemas and theatres, bingo halls filled a hole in people’s lives. It was an opportunity for people to meet socially, have fun and just enjoy the game. With the gaining popularity of bingo, bingo halls became more sophisticated. They were run solely for the purpose of bingo games.
The biggest transition in the history of bingo has been the move from the halls to online. One of the earliest online bingo games was a free game called “Bingo Zone” by Gamesville that was launched in April of 1996. The first UK online bingo sites appeared in just 2003.
The most attractive difference between traditional bingo and online bingo games is the convenience. Players dont need to leave the comfort and safety of their homes or offices to play. Since online casinos are open 24/7, online bingo can be played at any time of the day. Theres even no need to get dressed up or to travel for an evening of bingo fun. As long as one is connected to the internet, one can play online bingo. Another convenience is that online casinos have the automated functions available where players can select their cards to literally play themselves and shout “bingo!” once the card has been completed. This allows players to get on with other things without the fear of missing out on a winning card.
However, online bingo lacks human interaction. Online bingo sites have countered this by introducing a chat facility, adding realism to the playing experience. With the chat facilities, players can communicate with other players while the game is in progress, unlike a regular bingo arrangement. There is also a lot more choices online with currently over 350 online bingo sites in operation unlike playing in the local bingo hall. Where bingo halls only have one game going at a time, online bingo sites also have many different games going at once so the choice is much broader.
Online bingo is growing faster in the UK. Of the estimated 3 million bingo players in the UK, more than 50,000 of them now play online. So why not join the thousands of people whove discovered the fun of online bingo!
