The UK bingo market is saturated with over 250 bingo sites serving the UK bingo market. Bingo providers are suing highly original marketing tactics and are spending millions of pounds on very amusing television ads and other media advertisements. One of the most successful marketing strategies for the internet bingo industry has been free bingo. Free bingo generates more word of mouth buzz than all the media campaigns combined. Most internet bingo sites offer players a free play option and some provide free bingo with the chance to win real cash prizes. In most cases free bingo is meant to lure new players to a particular site hoping the new player will eventually take advantage of deposit bonuses and make a deposit at the site. Some bingo providers have set up separate sites offering free bingo games that are connected with the main site.

In addition to free trial offers most internet bingo sites offer substantial sign up bonuses, deposit bonuses and reload bonuses. Players using these bonuses are essentially playing free bingo although the bonus money cannot be withdrawn and can only be used to play games. Searches for ‘free bingo’ on Google or Yahoo generate hundreds of sites offering free bingo and other games. As has been mentioned many of these free bingo sites will lead players to a main site where players are offered a variety of inducements. There are some sites offering free bingo games along with other games where players compete for prizes in daily or weekly drawings. While these sites usually do not offer cash prizes they can be entertaining for the player who is not motivated by cash prizes. Sites such as pogo.com and gamesville.com offer free bingo games where players earn points that can be used for entering weekly and monthly drawings for cash and prizes. For bingo players who just want to be entertained these sites are perfect.

Internet bingo has come a long way since its beginnings in the middle 90’s. Back then online bingo games were pretty boring and had limited capacity for realistic graphics and provided players with a poor gaming experience. New software platforms allow internet bingo sites to provide a gaining experience that rivals live games at bingo clubs. In addition most bingo websites offer various side games such as slot games, video poker and casino games with amazing graphics and sound for a Las Vegas type experience. Is it possible to play free bingo for cash? You bet, but be advised that bingo is an addictive game and most players end up as die hard bingo fanatics!
