Massive £50,000 Bingo win was a mistake!

I’m sure by now you’ve already heard about the software glitch in Foxy Bingo’s online game that netted a lucky player £50,000. Well, kudos to Foxy Bingo for honouring the win and paying the lucky winner! It’s good to see that there are other online bingo and casino operators like JackpotCity.com that put their players first.

Well done Foxy Bingo, you did the online casino and bingo industry proud with the way you handled this.

Cheers for now.

Sisters fight over £50,000 bingo win!

According to this article on the BBC news site, three sisters Linda Kenny, 53, Doreen Thomas, 57 and Edna Sexton, 59 are set to meet in court over an argument about a £50,000 bingo jackpot payout. Apparently Mrs Kenny and Mrs Thomas are suing Mrs Sexton for £16,666, plus interest, because they claim their sister reneged on an oral agreement they reached in 2005.

A £50,000 bingo bonus is a lot of money, but is it worth this? I have a brother who is an absolute killer at Blackjack, he loves to play in both online and offline casinos, and has won (and sometimes lost) a fortune. I’ve never expected to reap the benefit, even when I’ve been their when he won. If he ever did offer me money and later was not able to fulfil that promise I would never dream about taking him to court and in the same way he would not expect me to cover some of his costs if he lost… 

Now, as I’ve mentioned in my last post, gambling (be it casino, bingo or betting on a sport) is primarily for entertainment and the winnings, although wonderful, are an added bonus. Family is more important and I for one hope these sisters work it all out amicably. Life is too short people! Enjoy your winnings yes, but enjoy your family more.

Excuse me for a second please

Remember those things that I was supposed to post a while back when I kept on getting distracted? Well, I think that today is the day that I need to post them.

The short version of how this post came about goes a little like this: My boss asked me to tell him why I thought that JackpotCity.com online bingo was better than the other bingo sites out there, so here goes.
Why is Jackpotcity.com Online Bingo better?

• We give away up to £10 000 every day.

• We give away up to £300 000 every month.

• Our Abso-Blingo-Lutely jackpot is seeded (starts) at £10 000 and has been won twice at £22 000 and at £90 000 since we’ve launched (see - more jackpots more often!)
• Progressive Jackpots are linked into a large network increasing the jackpot amount very rapidly.
• We have our very own Hundreds and Thousands jackpot which can be won in 48 calls. (exclusive to JackpotCity.com Online Bingo and won 6 times in the last 4 weeks!)

Other reasons we think you like us

• Spiffy welcome bonus - all new roomies get £10 free once their first deposit is made
• Up close and personal with the Bingo Managers at lunch time every day

• Experienced chat hosts in the bingo hall every day

Instant play where no download is required
• The games are inexpensive, running at an average of 25 pence a card
• Cards start at 0.05 pence per card (1p cards and free cards also coming soon!)
• Three jackpot winners this weekend alone (more jackpots more often)
• We are your ‘local’ bingo hall

He still hasn’t gotten back to me on whether or not these are good enough reasons, but i think that they are. What do you think? Drop a comment and let us know :)
