Microgaming gets Malta go-ahead for online bingo software

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

Microgaming has secured another license for its online gaming products in Malta, this time for its online bingo software. The group has already been granted licenses by Malta’s Lotteries and Gaming Authority (LGA), for its online casino and poker products.

Malta was the original EU member state to move to regulate remote gambling, with four different levels of licenses available. Applicants must undergo a number of checks including a business and technical assessment, along with a compliance audit.

Microgaming CEO, Roger Raatgever, commented: “Malta continues to be a growing hub of European gaming with a successful regulatory model and we have continued our significant investment in Malta by implementing various on-site servers.”

“These will not only enhance connectivity and resilience for online gaming, but also contribute to a superior experience for operators and players, alike. This provides Microgaming with the opportunity to offer our operators an additional gateway into the EU and we are delighted to add bingo to our software offering.”

Microgaming’s online poker network includes the likes of Ladbrokes Poker, 32Red Poker, Gutshot and many more. They also have a number of the top online casino brands underneath them, including Jackpot City, Lucky Nugget Casino and Aces High Casino.

Foxy Bingo Review Madness

Monday, July 21st, 2008

Jackpots, bonuses, special games, cashback, loyalty programs – Foxy Bingo have all of them right now. So if I were you, I’ll go and check them out.

First on the list is their Instant Win Cashback Day – I call it losers’ bonus. Every Tuesday, just go to FoxyBingo and play any of their casino and instant win games like slots and scratchcards. If you lose, you will get a cashback of up to 15 percent – that’s more money you can use to play more games where you will, hopefully, win.

Through this promo, you can win back as much as £200 of your losses for the day! Of course, you should make sure that the game you want to play is part of the promotion before you actually start playing; otherwise, you may not get your cashback. Furthermore, you must be careful to lose (err, bet) only an amount, 15 percent of which does not exceed the maximum cashback that FoxyBingo is willing to give; that’s around £1,333. Otherwise, there may be a portion of your losses on which you’ll not get a cashback.

How about some guaranteed jackpots, any takers? Foxy Bingo is giving away a total of £100,000 in guaranteed jackpots as part of their Mega Guaranteed Jackpots promo. In guaranteed games, there will always be a winner. Prizes won will depend on how much the guaranteed jackpot for the game is. There are guaranteed small jackpots worth less than a hundred pounds, more than a hundred pounds, a thousand pounds, five thousand pounds, and ten thousand pounds. There is also a monthly jackpot of £25,000 – that means, every month, someone is sure to be £25,000 richer. Who knows? It can be you.

FoxyBingo also has special prize games. They have the so-called Mid Week Blockbuster Game where you can win all sorts of gadgets. The prize changes every week. In this week’s game, they are giving away a Nintendo Wii Plus Games Pack!

Naturally, FoxyBingo also has its own deposit bonuses. First, when you make your first deposit on your account, the online bingo site will give you a match-up, First-Deposit Bonus. In other words, FoxyBingo will match your deposit pound-for-pound. The first-deposit bonus you can get can be as much as £150. To be eligible for this promotion, however, you do need to make an initial deposit of at least £10.

FoxyBingo’s generosity doesn’t end there, however. They also have an Every Deposit Bonus where FoxyBingo will add fifty percent of every deposit you make to your account. Deposit £10 and get £5 as bonus. Deposit £30 and get £15 as bonus. Deposits between 10 and 100 pounds are eligible for this promotion.

FoxyBingo is also keen on giving their members loyalty points, which they call (predictably enough) Bingo Points or BPs. Bingo Points are just like your miles. You can accumulate them and then redeem them when you want. At FoxyBingo, a thousand BPs is convertible to a £1 credit.

You can win bingo points in a lot of ways. Generally, you get bingo points for playing bingo. Every time you make a bingo card purchase, you will get a corresponding number of points. For instance, a 10p purchase earns you 2 points for every card. Purchases worth 25p and 50p will earn you 2 and 5 BPs, respectively, for every card. Finally, Cards worth £1 will earn you ten BPs for every card.

You can also win Bingo Points when you refer a friend to FoxyBingo. For every referral who deposits and spends at least £5, you will earn a whopping 5,000 Bingo Points.

Winning Bingo Points is also easy when you register your very own Team Bingo. In this program, you and three of your friends will play as one team. What you should do is to play and win as many bingo games as you can. Your team’s goal is to earn as many points as you can. At the end of the month, all the participating teams will be ranked, and the 10 highest ranking teams will get a share in the 5 million Bingo Points that will be given away. The first and second placers will get a lion’s share with their 1.5 million and 1 million BPs, respectively.

Extra BPs can be won through other ways. You can, for instance, play at the Weekly Specials, the unique bingo games from FoxyBingo. Special games include the Money Spider (50,000 BPs), the Legs Eleven (5,000) and the Butterfly Bonus (a share of 1 million BPs).

You can also play during the Happy Hours – that’s 2 to 5 in the afternoon every Tuesdays and Thursdays – to get more BPs. During the Happy Hours, your card purchase and participation in char games will earn you twice as much BPs.

Finally, picking up extra BPS should be no trouble at all if you are inordinately lucky. Play bingo every Saturday. The more you score, the more BPs you earn; the first placer will win a hundred thousand BPs. If you prefer to play during Sundays, then purchase as many cards as you can. The five players who buy the greatest number of bingo cards will win thousands of BPs; the first placer wins 100,000 BPs!

A mother from Hampshire has won £10,000 pounds playing at her local Bingo Hall. Susan Ralph won big at her local in Basingstoke and was understandably shocked when realizing she had completed a full house.

In the current economic downturn the win could not have come at a better time. Susan explained, “I was very happy because it’s come at the perfect time.” The soon to be mother will spend the money on her  new Baby and a new car for her family. Susan also won £600 in August last year but this win will be far more enjoyable!

Its been a successful week for another Gala Bingo player, as a Grandmother in Newcastle won an amazing £32,000! Well done to both players!
