When it comes to advertising online bingo the operators have a multitude of platforms to choose from but of late television marketing seems to be at the forefront. Big names in the industry have taken to promoting their wares on our small screens and here we take a look at the top 5 bingo adverts currently appearing in the commercial breaks of our television viewing.

Foxy Bingo

Although previously the Foxy Bingo mascot seemed to be a little sinister and the location of shooting added to the “stalker” persona he had, a new round of marketing saw Foxy get funky as he strutted his stuff up and down the streets to the tune of ‘We are Family’ by Sister Sledge back in 2008. 2009 and the loveable Fox got even more hip with a great new campaign that saw him appear from a UFO and get his groove on to ‘Funky Town’ by Lipps Inc.

Virgin Bingo

The first ever Virgin Bingo advert appeared on our screens in October 2009 and featured ‘Ricardo’, the all singing, all dancing jalapeno. For those viewers with a keen eye the resemblance to the brains behind the Virgin name can’t be missed. As bingo adverts go the Virgin Bingo one bought something a little different the online bingo advertising scene. Read our Virgin Bingo review.

Tombola Bingo

Tombola Bingo would have had our number one spot in the top 5 bingo adverts had the Advertising Standards Agency not seen fit, after one complaint, to ban the previous offering from this impressive bingo site. The first Tombola Bingo advert had everything, great animation, a catchy tune that was also relevant and more importantly, plenty of information about what the site had to offer online bingo players. However, the new Tombola Bingo advert doesn’t quite live up to its predecessor and has been likened to an advert for Saga Holidays! Read our Tombola Bingo review.

bet365 Bingo

The new bet365 Bingo advert featuring lurex clad people with bingo balls for heads is not worthy of a place in the top five; it seems to gratuitous. However, the previous offering with the bingo heads in lots of every day situations is more than worthy! Read our Bet 365 Bingo review.

888Ladies Bingo

Vic Reeves made a great name for 888Ladies Bingo when he donned his dress, make up and heals to advertise this online bingo site and is definitely deserving of a place in our top 5 bingo adverts. Unfortunately the same cannot be said of the more recent 888 Ladies Superstar campaign which saw the site lose site of the player / brand connection. Read our 888 Ladies Bingo review.
