I was recently reading an article about free bingo and I have to be honest I was not very impressed by it. Then I read who the writer was and I realize whey he isn’t keen on the free bingo model, the writer was the owner of a large bingo affiliate site, and I suppose that free bingo does not earn them money.

In 2009 Cheeky Bingo was launched by Cashcade, the owner of Cashcade is credited with the innovation of the “free bingo model” and Cheeky was the launch site. This free bingo model entails players joining a site and becoming a pay for play member, to allow them to play free bingo and win real cash prizes.
The writer of the article mistakenly says and I quote “Prizes for these free games are as small as £1”, however what he omits is that the prizes are regularly £15, £20, £50 and even more, so I really do believe that his article is biased for whatever reason.

Many players of free bingo games, if they work the system well are able to fund their accounts so they can play in even more bigger prize money games. The fact that this is a marketing tool to get more members playing at a site and registering to play for real money is not lost upon us players, but it is still nice to be able to work the system, and to still be able to join in the fun and games if our bingo balances are a bit buggered and we are broke.

The fact that every site worth its salt in the UK is offering free bingo for real cash prize, bespeaks that this system is very successful, both for the sites in question and for the bingo players enjoying the games. Have you played these free games and how do you feel about them?
