Huge congratulations to luckycharmed1, anniebell123 & 1-melcrane for winning last Friday’s three big games!
We know everyone loved last Friday’s big three hours in Madhouse, so we’ve decided to offer it again this week. And next week. In fact - it was so much fun that we’re going to do it every week!
So from here on in, Friday night is our Welcome to the Weekend Party, with guaranteed £1000 games, great chat and loads of fun for everyone!
And this week we’re also running the two x £250 games at 8 and 9 PM again!
So come on in and join the party on Friday night in Madhouse as we say Welcome to the Weekend. But best come early and grab a seat - we’re expecting a big crowd again this week!

We have had a lot of great entries again this year in a contest that has had more comebacks than The Rolling Stones. After much deliberation, mulled wine and mince pies we have finally been able to decide the winners of this year’s Christmas Name Contest.
In the category Creative/Original, first prize of £50 cash goes to the alphabetically challenged THE 1ST NO L. Second place and £25 cash goes to the easily satisfied YULETIDEMEOVER and the third prize of £10 cash goes to the seasonal and nawty (at least she’s honest) Im sNOangel.
Some of the names submitted this year gave us more laughs than The Two Ronnie’s Christmas Special. In the category Outrageously Funny, first prize of £50 cash goes to Sinderella’s best mate, fairy gobmuvva. Second place and £25 cash goes to the meteorologically astute gizaREINmacDEER and the third prize of £10 cash goes to the colourful rudyrednose.
Skippy got all excited when he heard that the final category to be judged was Spirit of Christmas until we told him that we didn’t mean he would be sampling drinks. Even with no House Party or Mr Blobby in sight, first place and £50 cash goes to Papa Noel. Second place and £25 cash (which will pay for plenty of chapstick) goes to MisLToe and the third prize of £10 cash goes to what we wish for most of all, happyxmas2uall.
Well done to all our winners and if you didn’t quite make it into the top rankings this year, we hope that you will enjoy the little gift which Skippy Claus leaves in your stockings tonight.
TT, Med, Wobbly, Pops, Midge, Sappy, Chocs, Tiger, Sparks and all the other staff here at BingoMania UK wish you all a great Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year.

This bank holiday weekend (22 - 25 August) why not avoid all the usual traffic jams and miserable weather, and enjoy a great weekend of treats here at BingoMania UK?
For starters, we will be giving double BBs on all chat games as follows:
• 6pm to 10pm on Friday in Twisted Taco
• 9am to 1am on Saturday in Madhouse
• 4pm to 12am on Sunday in The Pound
• 9am to 1am on Monday in Little Britain
For the main course, all chat games on Monday, in all of our rooms, will be numbers-based games only – no nabors games.
For dessert, on Monday, we’re offering you the chance to win some Cash! Our very own Skippy will be making some surprise visits to our chat rooms and playing ‘Cash Back’.
When Skippy announces ‘Cash Back’ in chat, the two players that win the next chat game will win back (in cash) every penny they’ve spent in that room on the previous three games that played.
Yes, cash, not BBs!
Remember – you have to be in it to win it.
Be lucky!
Our usual terms and conditions apply, namely:
To be eligible to win the prizes, players must be active members whose accounts are in good standing and who have made a deposit in the past 30 days. Employees of Helix Gaming and their immediate family are not eligible to enter. Once a player has won a prize they are not eligible for another. No alternative prizes will be offered.

From the bingo site that brought you easier-to-win jackpots, Second Chance and chocolate chip coated newsletters (at least we would if Poppy stopped eating the choccy!) comes the new standard in accolades.
You can forget the MBEs, OBEs, KCBEs and BBCs (unless you’re watching Top Gear) ‘cause you’ll be hard pushed to get one of those unless you’re really lucky.
But we admire Her Majesty’s generosity in recognising ordinary people who make outstanding contributions to various causes. So BingoMania UK – in association with His Imperial Highness, Emperor Skippy the First of BingoMania, Jack of the Pot and Defender of the Slots – is proud to announce Skippy’s Monthly Honours list.
Every month each of our GMs will be nominating players for inclusion in Skippy’s Monthly Honours List. Nominations will be made on the basis of ‘an outstanding contribution to chat’ for players who have demonstrated consistent friendliness, politeness, patience and community spirit. The nominations will then go before His Imperial Highness’s loyal advisors, who will consider all the nominees before finishing the champagne and truffles choosing one player to receive the prestigious OBME – the Order of the BingoMania Empire.

Skippy had a little win on the lottery on Wednesday night and he thought it would be nice to share his good fortune with all the Maniacs. Thanks Skippy.
He was going to buy everyone an ice-lolly but we pointed out that by the time you got them, they would have melted. So Stuart and TT got their thinking caps on and decided a nice cool tourney was just what was needed in the summer heat.
It’s been a little while since we had a tourney, so we thought we’d give you the chance to win some great cash prizes to spend on a new air cooler, walk-in fridge, several gallons of ice cream or whatever else takes your fancy.
For a chance to win, just buy into the special dollar pattern games in Madhouse and The Pound from 10th to 31st May. Each one of the special bingo games you win in Madhouse will earn you 1 tourney point, and each one you win in The Pound will earn you 2 tourney points. At the end of the tourney the cash prizes will be awarded to the 3 players with the most points.
1st place – £750 cash
2nd place– £500 cash
3rd place – £250 cash
To make sure everyone has a fair chance, we’re setting a 4 card max on these games, and the cards will be at the usual price for the room. We’ll also put up a leader board as soon as we can so you can keep track of how you’re doing.
The tourney starts at 09:00 hours (BST) on the 10th May and ends at 23:59 hours (BST) on the 31st May. We’ll be announcing the winners in chat and on the blog on Monday 2nd June, and in the newsletter which goes out on Friday 6th June.
Good luck everyone
As with all our promotions:
To be eligible to win the prizes, players must be active members whose accounts are in good standing and who have made a deposit in the past 30 days. In the event of a tie, the cash prizes will be split equally amongst all winners with the same number of points. Employees of Helix Gaming and their immediate family are not eligible to win prizes. No alternative prizes will be offered.

At BingoMania, we like it when you do all the work. We get to read the paper, eat chocolate, throw paper plan
es and generally loll around. Which is how it should be. So, here’s your chance to get your brains wiggling and come up with a new idea for Friday night.
See, we have a bit of a confession. We’ve deliberately not set up this week’s voting for the Friday night party. Just to see your reaction.
Silence is golden, they say. Well, we think silence is a sort of off-yellow, swirly brown carpet teamed with mauve curtains. Yep, nobody misses those once-rockin’ Friday nights. Our Party has lost its mojo.
So, put those thinking caps back on and send us your ideas. You’ll be rewarded with a warm smile and a thank you bonus. But only if they’re any good : )
