Hurray For Bloke Bingo

For a long time now I have been advocating the need for a bingo site geared towards men. Don’t get me wrong I love site such as 888Ladies bingo and they are superb at what they do but sometimes it’s good to get away from pink and lilac sites offering promotional and prizes that are quite obviously biased toward their female players. Yes we all know that women make up 70% of all online bingo users but that does not mean the other 30% should be given no consideration at all. When you think the UK online bingo industry is worth an estimated £500 million that means £150 million comes from us men so it is silly to ignore the potential of such a large untapped market. At last one man and one site shares my passion for this cause so today I say Hurray for Bloke Bingo.

Bloke Bingo uses the virtue Fusion Software and offers 90 ball and 75 ball bingo as well as a great range of slots and promotions with prizes I would actually like to win; not a makeover or spa week in sight! All new players registering are rewarded with £1 for free and a 100% cash match bonus up to £250 and will also entered into a free prize draw to win loads of Play.com goodies (a site that I spend a small fortune one).
The site has a great look and it totally original; it looks nothing like a traditional bingo site and uses some nice manly blue and black colours combined with cartoon style graphics. Looking at the site you would think it was more of a mans mag type site with sections dedicated to the latest consoles, computers, films and sport; I would have no qualms about accessing this site in a pub with my friends around me, there would be none of the stigma usually attached to men playing bingo.
I must admit I was quite surprised when reading on another bingo review site today that they considered Bloke Bingo to be a bit of a travesty and even bordering on sexist because it is aimed at men; they even went on to debate how long the site would be around. All I can say to this is welcome to our world, men have had to put up with pink and fluffy sites for far too long and to say you want fair gaming in the same article is very hypocritical, sounds like you want ‘fair’ as long as it’s more fair for the female players.
Bloke Bingo has huge potential given the support it rightly deserves. I am not saying all bingo sites should follow suit and the industry should be split into two but it is great to have only little corner of the bingo world we call our own without fear of ridicule and naff prizes we have no use for!

Anyway, back to your post… I really thank you for your support, it is very gratifying to me personally that some other “bloke” thinks the same way I do.
Cheers!

As you are a bloke bingo writer, no doubt Bloke Bingo would be good for you, but as a female player sites that are aimed soley at men would not be my cup of tea and upon speaking to a fair few other lady players they have this veiw also. Some ladies might like bloke bingo (everyone has their own preference of play) and after all, men have been playing at (fluffy pink bingo sites) as you put it for a long time, so they cannot be that bad now can they……..you have your opinion from a male perspective and I have mine from a female perspective, but I think you have been quite unfair to criticise what I write, each to their own and own opinions……….I very much doubt you would like me to pick holes in everything you write, just because I didn’t agree with them!

Oh, and what you wrote about me being hypocritical – In the aritcle it stated (I would like to see fair online bingo play for both sexes)Meaning bingo sites that are aimed at men and women alike,If you are going to quote me, please get your facts right.
I see you have spoke to mikey, the brains behind bloke bingo and to be fair to them his comment was posted on the site for all to read and give both sides of the story.
