There are ever increasing bingo adverts on UK television screens at the moment.

Due to the relaxation of advertising rules, gambling can now be promoted on TV and on the radio. So it was inevitable that online bingo would take to the airwaves to promote its message.

Think Bingo had the first online bingo ad in September 2005, but since then we’ve seen the likes of Jackpotjoy, the Sun bingo and of course Foxy bingo all promoting their own bingo site.

More and more bingo sites are also using celebrities to endorse their sites. Who could forget the recent 888 ladies bing, featuring Vic Reeves’ getting dressed as a lady in order to play on-line bingo.

What this all shows is that online bingo is on the rise, as are TV bingo games. Lets just hope that it is not overcooked, and remains around for years to come.
