Tombola Bingo bumpers miss the mark

If you’re a fan of your soaps you can't help but have noticed that lasts nights Emmerdale had a new sponsor - Tombola Bingo. We have been waiting with baited breath for this new sponsorship deal to start after the online bingo site announced they were taking over and called for all of their players to get involved. As we sat in front of the television last night waiting to see what one of our favourite bingo sites had come up with we could not help but be disappointed as the Tombola Bingo bumpers miss the mark by quite some way.

We are not sure how an online bingo site as successful as Tombola Bingo could get something this important quite so wrong. For an online bingo site that is based around fun and quirky games they seem to have had a sense of humour bypass when it comes to their sponsorship of Emmerdale. This moment should have being the crowning glory for Tombola Bingo, a site that has achieved so much in such a short amount of time but instead of grabbing the viewers by the throat and dragging them into the site these bumpers are more likely to put them to sleep.

The new Emmerdale Bumpers from Tombola Bingo simply do not do the online bingo site justice. They are based around the sites real players but we just see them standing there with a supposedly funny tag line under them. This is then followed by a group shot of players which to be honest looks more like the cast of an E4 comedy then something that would make a new player sign up to a bingo site. When you have such a short amount of time you need a bumper to snappy and memorable, maybe Tombola Bingo should take a leaf from Wink Bingo's books.

We really hope Tombola Bingo take a close look at these bumpers and change them fast before too much damage is done. Tombola Bingo have some of the best and most innovative games on the market and are actually up for three awards in the forthcoming eGaming Review awards. On top of this the online bingo site is launching a new free game on the 1st December; it's just a shame that these new bumpers are a blemish on an otherwise perfect record.
