It’s been sometime since I last shared with you a favourite video of mine. So, today on this wet and cold Monday, I’ve got the perfect YouTube clip to give you that oh-so-good-feeling.

Enjoy and don’t forget to give someone a nice warm hug after : = )

About - The “Free Hugs Campaign” is a powerful story which started by one individual whose sole mission was to reach out and hug a stranger to brighten up their day.

I truly got excited after seeing 18 comments posted on “What Your New Year’s Resolution” – I guess, the thought of sharing our new year’s resolution together had me inspired. But to my surprise, I saw the bulk of comments related to ‘same winners winning’. Yikes

BingoMania's New Year Resolution

Since the revamp of bingomania.co.uk last year, I believe our biggest improvement has been in our commitment of fair-play to you. Here are some of the changes:

- reduced the max cards in all of our rooms
- launched a fair & square room
- weekly fair-play bingo party games with low max cards
- introduced a 2nd chance room to give our members a 2nd shot at winning bingo each week
- monthly promos with 4 card max on special games.

So I’m very surprised to hear our community is still haunted by this issue.

As GM Median highlighted on his comment – the more cards you play the better your odds. And this is true. And we know this is the biggest factor shaping the outcome of a bingo game. That’s why we’ve gone through great lengths to reduce the max cards per game to better your chance, regardless of your budget.

I believe the changes we made last year have helped improve everyone’s odds and reduced ’same-winners’. But our work is not complete and throughout ’08, we will even work harder to find new ways of providing fair-play at bingomania.co.uk.

LET ME ASK YOU THIS:
How do you think we can provide you more fair play at BingoMania in 2008!

Change can be hard - stopping smoking, spending more time with kids, eating healthier. But this is the time to do it.

What you need is support (especially with a figure-hugging top) to push you when you want to give up on yourself.

new year's resolution

That’s why, if you have a new year’s resolution and think you might struggle by yourself, we’d like to encourage you to share your One Big Challenge for 08. Hey, we’ve more community spirit here than you’ll find in the vicar’s teapot at the village hall bring-and-buy-sale :=) So, let’s help each other achieve our goals.

What do you say?

See in the comment box my 2008 new year’s resolution and share yours with us.

Hi, Maniacs, and a happy new wotsit to all of you. May it bring you health, wealth, stealth, lots of sticky-toffee pudding and somehow a smaller belly. I know mine already has.

We hope you had a great holiday full of family fun and Christmas pudding with double cream, and are now ready to make 2008 the best year yet. We know we are - and all thanks to your support.

Thank you

Speaking of which and this is a bit of a David and Goliath story our little bingo community was voted runner-up UK Bingo Site of the Year 2007. This is a bit incredible, because we’re a very tidgy community. How tidgy? Think bee’s eyebrow. This is so cool because this contest was voted by bingo players across the UK. So a large thank you to you and all your support.

OK, so it’s not first place. That would have been too freaky. But we’re delighted with the result and will be working hard to make 2008 even fabber.

Once again, thanks a million for all your patience and support in 2007. Let the fun continue…
