The Best Time to Join a New Bingo Site

There are brand new bingo campaigns everywhere you look. The TV screens are packed out with news of the latest and best offers and it can be difficult to know where to begin. It can also be infuriating if you have signed up to a site a few weeks ago and now they’re offering an even better, even newer sign up bonus. Is there actually a best time to sign up to a new bingo site?

The last few months have seen many big brands change their welcome offers and all this chopping and changing doesn’t seem likely to stop. Once one site makes the decision to offer something different, you can be sure others will follow suit. Most recently Bet365, Virgin and Sky have launched brand new welcome offers, changing their terms and conditions, no doubt to the annoyance of new players who have signed up in the last few weeks. However, this habit of changing offers isn’t anything new, in fact Sun Bingo used to amend theirs as regularly as every month and Sky have changed at least three times this year.

TV Tie-ins

The Bet365 re-launched welcome bonus seems closely linked to their position as the sponsors, since March, of Emmerdale which is screened on ITV. They chose later in the year to launch a new welcome bonus, perhaps to ensure the maximum number of viewers took note of their offer during the much hyped Emmerdale Live episode, to coincide with their 40th anniversary.

The Sky Bingo team have also launched a new advert, which details almost everything their site has to offer. This is shown in an extremely straightforward and obvious way, with no frills and this simplistic method seems to work well for them. Keeping it direct and showing what elements of their site are most popular also the fantastic welcome bonus offers available to new members, seems a successful technique.

888Ladies has also launched a brand new ad starring comedy legend Vic Reeves in his guise as a glamorous 888Lady. The new campaign has allowed them to highlight their special welcome bonus and also get some laughs, which are bound to attract more new members.

Seasonal Variation

Traditionally bingo sites are less popular over the summer months, with players choosing to spend their time out and about rather than sat at their computer screens and of course that’s also when most holidays take place. It’s no wonder then that an influx of new adverts are launched as the winter nights close in and players are much more likely to stay in and settle down with their favourite game.

It’s even suggested that traditionalists who prefer playing down their local hall may opt for online gaming in the winter months, in an effort to keep warm and enjoy a hot cuppa whilst playing their favourite game rather than trekking out during the cold dark nights. What’s more the community feel of online bingo sites means that players need not feel isolated.

More to bingo than bonuses

Of course we understand new players want to get the best welcome bonus possible when they sign up to a site but there is more to most sites than just this. If you spend a little time looking around you may see that the site with the best bonus offer actually offers nothing else that appeals to you. Knowing what you want from your online bingo experience goes a long way to ensuring you find a site which suits your needs.

If you find a site with a community atmosphere and a range of games that you enjoy, you’ll feel less bothered when their welcome bonus offer improves or updates because you’ll already be enjoying the benefits they offer. It’s impossible to claim every welcome bonus prize that comes up, as there are simply too many being launched all the time.

There is no best time to join up to a new bingo site as there is no way of knowing when they’ll change the rules, move the goalposts or update their offers. It’s best to find a site you love and stick with it and then in the long term your loyalty will be rewarded. Hopping from one site to another isn’t always the best way to enjoy the online bingo experience.
