Pinch yourselves online bingo fans – it seems the no deposit bingo bonus may be making a bit of a comeback. What was once the darling of the online bingo scene has been in the doldrums for a while, but it seems that in the battle to pinch the top spot from ever increasing competition, many bingo sites are bringing the no deposit bonus back. So why is the bingo world hot for no deposit bonuses again – and what does it mean for online bingo fans?!
Cast your mind back to maybe 12 months ago, and no deposit bingo offers were a bit thin on the ground. In fact, the only sites we can remember offering free no deposit bingo were the “less reputable” sites (save a few exceptions like Costa Bingo) that were more concerned with getting players on board than offering a great online bingo experience. So why the change of heart??
Well, if cast your mind back to maybe 2 or 3 years ago (if you’ve been playing online bingo for that long) you may remember they were everywhere. It seems that the online bingo world undergoes somewhat of an ebb and flow with these offers, and we reckon it’s got something to do with new recruits.
Thing is, bingo offers obviously split into the type of promos that will get people through the doors and those that will keep them coming back for more. Loyalty programs, reward schemes, one off reload bonus codes – these all help us stick around. Things like no deposit bingo offers are designed to tempt us (and tempt us they often do) into trying a bingo site. Whilst last year may have been the year of retaining players and keeping us happy playing at a static bingo site, this year, the rules have suddenly changed.
At the moment, the online bingo world seems to be growing at an almost alarming rate, giving operators all the more reason to grab as many players as they can. A recent study showed over 450 bingo sites are currently estimated to be in operation, with no fewer than 8 sites opening their doors in May alone.
In addition, the amount of free bingo opportunities arising can also make bingo fans more “non-committal”, especially when you factor in the success of Facebook Bingo apps that allow some players to get their bingo fix without parting from their pennies (the new bingo site Wonder Bingo is a prime example of a Facebook app turned operator for real). And then’s there’s the issue of simply being bored at a bingo site and trying something new – which is obviously something that happens from time to time in bingo players.
With this increased competition and shift in player loyalty, we’ve noticed more bingo sites are now offering no deposit offers. From Costa Bingo and Sing Bingo’s continued £10 free no deposit trial to the recent addition of limited offer £10 free bonuses with no deposit required at both Ladbrokes Bingo and Foxy Bingo. News that you should definitely stay tuned to, as you may find that some other big bingo sites will have to follow suit in the not so distant future.
Now, these offers don’t last forever, as it may tick off established players at these sites that feel they have got a raw deal paying to play. It should also be noted that your game choice is often limited when playing no deposit bingo… but that said, if you haven’t tried your luck at a site that’s offering the chance to play without having to pay, we reckon right now is as good a time as any for dipping your toes in! After all, who knows how long the return of the no deposit bingo bonus will last…
