When Fierce Bingo hit the internet back in the spring of this year, many people thought that the shameless attempt to pull a niche demographic into an already saturated marketplace, something that many industry insiders believed to be a flawed plan. It turns out the ‘industry insiders’ were right. This is because, on the 15th of this month, Fierce Bingo is closing its doors for good.
Despite being hosted on one of the most successful online bingo networks in the history of the game, Fierce Bingo were still unable to make a go of it. We could speculate all day about what went wrong for the supposedly groundbreaking bingo site but that’s neither here nor there. The main point is that another bingo site has gone to the wall with less than a year’s trading under its belt.
When you visit www.fiercebingo.com you are now greeted with a holding page displaying the following message.
“Important Notification:
We would like to inform you that Fierce Bingo will cease operating its gaming services on October 15, 2013.
We thank you for your loyalty and dedication in helping us give you the best bingo experience possible.
Any funds in your account can be cashed out or played on.
*Minimum cashout request £20”
Unlike previous bingo sites that have closed over the years, there will be no wholesale transferring of players to a new site on the network. All Fierce Bingo accounts will be closed permanently and any funds that haven’t been played or withdrawn will be forfeitted.
So, if like many players, you have just a tenner or so in your account, you will not be able to get your hands on it. This seems somewhat unfair to us. But this wouldn’t be the first time that players have felt wronged by an ailing bingo site and it certainly won’t be the last.
If you’re a player at Fierce Bingo and you are facing the thought of being cast into the online bingo mire, you may want to take a look at some other bingo sites that may be worth a visit.
If you would like to stay on the Dragonfish Bingo Network, there are some big names to choose from, including 888 Bingo.
If you want to try out something new, pay a visit to the recently launched Bingo Godz, who offer a whole new way to play online bingo.
