The online bingo world seems to be changing yet again, with more and more clubs offering a new style of VIP scheme to give top players the chance to compete for exclusive treats including free bingo games and bigger guaranteed jackpots. So what exactly are these schemes – and do they really offer regular players the chance for some added value to their online bingo experience? Well, let’s start by taking a trip down memory lane and looking at some of the older style VIP schemes. A VIP scheme is basically a way for online bingo sites to reward their top players. If you happen to be a devotee of a particular bingo site, you could find that your regular deposits and hard work grafting in online bingo games gets you extra treats.
Before, the idea was if you wagered a certain amount, you’d qualify for extra surprises like bigger deposit bonuses, special prize draws and even free cash on your birthday. And whilst these schemes are pretty darn good to be a part of, it’s also pretty hard for players on a more of a budget to get a reward out of it. Some wagering amounts extend up to the £1000 mark, which means you’re making a huge investment before receiving any bonus back.
The good news about these old promos is that if you manage to get in with the top roomies, you can definitely increase your chances of winning. Exclusive games often mean smaller player numbers, which means you have a better chance of scooping a jackpot. The bad news is that it’s a bloody mission to get in, making players more likely to give up and try their luck at another bingo site.
With this in mind, we’ve noticed how some bingo sites have recently started to change the rules. Take the latest VIP style promo from Foxy Bingo, their aptly named Foxy Star Club. You have a set amount of time to complete certain tasks, and in the process, you can win points. If you get enough points, you’ll receive entry into an exclusive area where you can play free bingo games and feast on guaranteed jackpots that can extend into the £1,000’s. By running the promo for a week or two, it gives it even more exclusivity – which makes it all the more tempting for us roomies to try our luck and get a bingo payoff in return.
Other bingo sites owned by Foxy Bingo company Cashcade have also got on board, with similar schemes like the recent Cheeky Bingo Cheeky Smiles VIP tourney and Think Bingo’s Thinkers Club. But it’s not just Cashcade brands – similar schemes are also going down at sites like Mecca Bingo, who have recently introduced a limited time promo with top prizes of £1,000 for selected players.
And then there are also new bingo sites keen to make use of their social networking credentials. Take a newcomer like Wonder Bingo for example. Rather than just calculate your VIP status based on how much you wager, Wonder Bingo have a points based scheme where you can work your way up their VIP levels depending on how much you interact with the site – so by putting up a profile picture, befriending other players and so on. In return, each loyalty level allows you to access free bingo games, with bigger jackpots depending on your status.
But whereas before it seemed near impossible for your average Bingo Joe to find themselves as an online bingo VIP, the point is, the bar has suddenly been lowered. And we think this is great, as it gives more players the chance to taste the online bingo high life. Whilst you may lose a bit of the exclusivity of the old style VIP clubs, these new promos are finally in reach for more online bingo roomies. About time too we say!
