Do Bigger Prizes Equal a Better Bingo Experience?

Do you play bingo online to make money? Is it all about hitting that mega prize or is about the all round experience? Many of the big branded sites are doing so well that they’re able to offer some seriously massive prizes and this does add an extra incentive to play at their sites and undoubtedly draw in new players but is it all about the money?

Many of the big brands have begun offering some ridiculously large cash prizes and more. The Win a Mini promotion at Wink Bingo has been running for a number of years and other sites regularly run promotions with prizes worth at least £100,000. On a regular basis you can find £200,000 guaranteed jackpot weekends at Bet365 Bingo too. These exclusive games definitely attract new players and you can also see some sites committing to specific weekly or monthly payout guarantees with Jackpotjoy being known for its big payouts and nearly £100 million is paid out every single month with two winners crowned every single second. Is it these big money games which draw players into these sites? It’s certainly a factor but you should also take into account the quality of the games, the support provided by the customer care teams and much more.

Similarly, is it really possible that sites will be able to continually offer such exciting, big money and gift prizes? It’s hard to believe such expensive promotions, especially those where big prizes are paid out on a daily basis throughout a promotional period, can possibly be sustainable?

Looking back at how these big promotions have become more and more regular, it looks like Sun Bingo were the first brand to get extravagant with their promotion prizes, giving away 30 shiny new cars in 2010. This wasn’t the last of their big promotions and you’ll often find huge cash prizes and exciting gifts on offer regularly at their site. Looking back to Jackpotjoy, they’re known for providing a more mixed bag, with guaranteed games paying out regular jackpot prizes and progressive jackpot prizes reaching into the huge figures. They also pay out plenty of smaller amounts too, sharing out prize pots between lots of members so everyone scoops a small prize, therefore incentivising playing at the site without having to ensure everyone is made a millionaire.

Many sites are connected to bingo networks which means they offer huge linked jackpot games but these can appear impersonal and therefore to stand out from the crowd, it makes sense for sites to run their own promotions specifically for players at their site. Even if the prizes are smaller it gives them something different which will attract players who look for something unique.

Money or Membership Quality

Some players are understandably all about trying to get the biggest wins out there and regularly get involved in the big money games across the whole range of online destinations. However, there are plenty of players who are in it for much more than that. The benefits of loyalty to a single brand can be palpable and many players have realised this so choose to use just one site regularly and pick up all the benefits of doing so. As well as securing more loyalty points, and transferrable to bonus cash, there are other benefits to loyalty which include everything from additional cash back to inflated reload deposit bonuses, all for sticking with your favourite.

What’s more, the more time you spend using the same site the more chances there are that you’ll get to know the chat host team and other members and enjoy the full social experience offered there. You also have just as much chance as winning those big money games as the next player and you’re less likely to miss out on those offered as you’re always around to catch the latest offer as soon as it’s launched.

As more and more sites enter the market it’s interesting to see the weird and wonderful things the big guns do to ensure they keep attracting new members. From celebrity endorsements to super sized jackpots it seems there’s always a way to keep the new players coming in through the doors and if it’s money that motivates you then that’s just fine. There are plenty of sites out there to satisfy your needs.
