Bingo Promotions

Bingo promotions are the special events bingo sites organise to attract new players and reward existing players. These promotions are usually only available to a bingo sites depositing players and are played for either a large cash jackpot or a prize of one kind or another. In the past we have seen bingo sites give away everything from a coffee machine to a car and a spa break to a luxurious all expensed paid holiday in the Caribbean.

Bingo promotions tend to fall into one of two categories. The first of these are the regular promotions that bingo sites run to reward their players. The promotions are the main stay of most bingo sites and remain the same each month. Examples of these include reload bonuses, credit rebates, happy hours, buy one get one free offers, loyalty programs, penny bingo and guaranteed prize pots.

The second category of bingo promotion is where you get the chance to win the really impressive prizes. These are special promotions that are added to a bingo site and run for a set period of time. You will usually find these promotions are seasonal so expect to see the likes of Christmas themed promotions, Easter themed promotions etc. You will usually find the prizes up for grabs in these promotions are of a lot higher value then the usual monthly ones.

There are usually three ways of winning bingo promotions. Firstly is a straight forward prize draw, you deposit into your account and are rewarded with an entry into the draw. Some sites expand on this slightly and give you one entry each time you wager to encourage you to spend more to boost your chances of winning. At the end of the bingo promotion one players name is chosen at random to win the prize.

The alternative to a straight prize draw is the leader board. These bingo promotions tend to be played over a much longer period of time and involve you collecting points to work your way up to the top place on the board. Points are usually awarded for a variety of actions on the bingo site e.g. wagering, playing in certain games or on a certain day, winning chat games, introducing friends to the site etc. These bingo promotions tend to reward more players then the prize draw format because the top number of players all win prizes.

The final type of bingo promotion and the one that you will find a lot on the 888Holdings Bingo sites are the special games. These usually involve you purchasing cards for a special one off game where there is a prize up for grabs. Occasionally when the prize on offer is extremely large you will find bingo sites offering entry into these games as prizes in small bingo promotions during the run up to the big game.

Whilst playing these bingo promotions it is always important to check out the rules as usually there are very strict guidelines that you have to adhere to, these could be anything from important games you need to take part in to qualify or even wagering levels that you have to meet in a set period of time.

Bingo promotions are really what can make or break a bingo site; cheap prizes will not cut it these days in the face of competition from sites offering prizes worth thousands of pounds or even massive cash jackpots!
