Is free bingo killing the bingo promotion?

Free bingo has always been an offer made by many of the online bingo sites; it could be by way of a no deposit welcome bonus or simply a couple of free bingo sessions but of late we have seen more sites launch offering free bingo, all day, every day. This begs the question ‘Is free bingo killing the bingo promotion?’ Since Cheeky Bingo launched onto our screens in February we have seen the online bingo sites competing to offer the best in free bingo packages but a side effect of that has been the loss of many great bingo promotions.

It used to be that whilst a site may offer a free bingo session on occasions they also offered a bingo promotion like a monthly prize draw or the chance to win an impressive prize at their online bingo site. Since the inception of free bingo 24 hours a day, seven days a week we have seen the old fashioned bingo promotion pale into insignificance.

However there are a number of online bingo sites that haven’t been sucked into the whole free bingo frenzy and who have managed to maintain the great bingo promotion offers. Sun Bingo has to be the best bingo site when it comes to impressive promotions; only recently we saw this bingo site offer players the chance to win a brand new car each and every day during the promotional period. This is one site that seems to have maintained a happy medium because despite giving away no less than 100 cards in their recent bingo promotion they still manage to offer free bingo alongside the innovative promotion.

Whilst free bingo is great for some players, others do prefer the prize draw style bingo promotions and we think its about time that we saw all sites take a leaf from the Sun Bingo promotional book!
