Well done all of you.
If you want to be in with a chance of being September’s OBME winner, it’s easy:
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.
Our monthly OBME winner will be featured on the blog and the newsletter, and will be presented with £50 of BBs from the Ancient and Honourable Bearer of the Imperial Sack. They will also be entitled to use the letters OBME after their name in chat and on the blog.
All players whose accounts are in good standing and who have made a deposit within the past 30 days are eligible for an OBME, with the exception of employees of Helix Gaming International, and their relatives, who are not eligible.

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.
Our monthly OBME winner will be featured on the blog and the newsletter, and will be presented with £50 of BBs from the Ancient and Honourable Bearer of the Imperial Sack. They will also be entitled to use the letters OBME after their name in chat and on the blog.
All players whose accounts are in good standing and who have made a deposit within the past 30 days are eligible for an OBME, with the exception of employees of Helix Gaming International, and their relatives, who are not eligible.

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 : )

Hi, Maniacs, let’s talk turkey. Or not. In fact, if I ever see another turkey, I will turn it into soup. Which, of course, I won’t be eating.
It’s quieter than a sleeping baby (in swaddling clothes) around here, as most of the Maniacs are off on hols. Yes, I do occasionally let our Maniacs take a break 
Before I turned the key on their handcuffs, however, I did make sure your fun would bubble over into the New Year here at BingoMania UK. Yep, we’ve decided to host our regular Friday Bingo Party on New Year’s Eve – Monday, December 31st.
Once more, it’s all down to you, as we don’t like working at this time of year. As we put our feet up and chill some bubbly, just tell us which New Year’s Eve special you’d like us to host for you:
New Year’s Party A
- 6 x £208 Guaranteed Games @ £1/card
- 9 x high £208 and low £28 games @50p/card
- 6 x £2008-£28 Coveralls @ 25p/card

It’s just like a Chinese Banquet! With crispy turkey. So, anyway, happy New Year whatever you’re up to. I’ll be around the blogsphere along with our hard-working GM Team. Thank you for reading and commenting this year. If there’s anything we can do to make the ManiaStu blog even better and bloggier in 2008, just let us know.
