Good UK online bingo rooms?

**ALEX777** · 10 April 2011, 5:24 am

Hello everybody! My question is for all bingo affiliates.

OK, here is the situation. I bought a good bingo domain https://www.onlinebingo.eu.com (as an investment) about 2 years ago. I want to do something with it, so, now I have 2 choices:

1). To sell it
2). To establish a good bingo portal.

I think I'll stick with choice #2, because it won't be hard to rank such a good domain

Can you please recommend some good bingo rooms and affiliate programs for UK market? I'm total newbie in bingo marketing

Currently, I'm promoting just few good Virtue Fusion and MG bingo rooms, but I don't think that they are the best for UK bingo market.

Thanks, Alex.

Not sure about recommendations, but I do OK with them - Sky Bingo and Virgin bingo are both big UK brand names, advertise on TV etc. and are on the Virtue Fusion network. So Virtue Fusion do do OK with the UK market if you get the right branded rooms.

Thanks Ray! Big UK bingo brands - that's what I want

Are they affiliate friendly? Not annoying?

*You can also PM me your ref links if they run a multi-tier affiliate program.

What about Mecca and Foxy bingo? I did a little research, and I see that many affiliates promoting them.

**RayUK** · 10 April 2011, 7:24 am

They don't do multi-tier so no sub affiliates. Sky's reporting back end for affiliates is pretty abysmal, with almost no information - but they have said they are going to swap to a better system, not sure when. Sky were good when I had a problem with payments, in terms of their affiliate management - the affiliate programme is covered by affiliate hub. Never had a problem with Virgin so never had to contact them! The T&C at both sites seemed good to me, but as always do read those yourself carefully.

I don't promote Mecca and Foxy, but they are on a list of possibly future sponsors that I have. The other sites I promote at the moment are the Joy of Bingo sites Wink, Posh, Tasty and Redbus. Those certainly have frequent (i.e. weekly) deposit bonus codes and promos for their players which always helps. You may want to look into that, they aren't as big a UK brand as the above mentioned ones, but they are certainly not unknown.

I do a lot of bingo in the UK and Sky are not somone i would recommend . The bigger off line brands are also not that affiliate friendly although Gala are starting to get their act together . I promote mainly globalcom (888 ) and Virtue fusion brands

My best are

Wink bingo - 888
Redbus Bingo - 888
888 Ladies - 888
bet365 bingo -Virtue fusion

You also have Costa bingo and Foxy on the 888 Platform and Ladbrokes and William Hill on the Virtue Fusion platform . There are loads of brands in the UK.

good luck with your marketing , be interesting to see how easy it is to rank

There are some good ones on the Bb network as well like Gone Bingo and there are more and more popping out of the woodwork on a daily basis.

theGMan - why wouldn't you recommend Sky out of interest?

**theGman** · 12 April 2011, 9:04 am

Rayuk

A couple of reasons really - one of them you touched on

Reporting - their reporting is abysmal - you can not adjust or react on running campaigns based on what they show you.

Payments - the only people i know who only send cheques - not sure if this has changed lately. It might have.

Affiliate Support - shoddy , was a lot better when they had it outsoruced they took it in house and it now takes some time to get answers back from them. In my experience in any event.

Also and most importantly - negative carryovers - if you get a minus in the Casino it will carryover to the bingo and vice versa . They treat it as one business unit whereas for instance - Joy of Bingo treats each bingo room seperately and one room will not impact on the earnings of another room.

Those are essentially my reasons for thinking that there are better products to promote. Hope this clarifies things a little.

theGman - thank you for that. I do know that the good support experience I had was under the old scheme.

Hi Everyone,

Just noticed this thread and wanted to apologise on behalf of Sky for any bad service you have received in the past when dealing with our Sky Bingo affiliate scheme. We are currently in the process of moving over to Income Access - this will be complete by 4th May 2011. After this date there will be a dedicated affiliate manager, as well as comprehensive reporting abilities and e-payments. This will allow us to offer you a much better service.

Thanks and sorry again,

Hannah (Sky Bingo)

I'm obviously biased as I work with them, but I would say check out Betfred Bingo as an excellent UK brand powered by Virtue Fusion.

**theGman** · 14 April 2011, 2:47 am

True - Betfred are not a bad option to try out - particularily if you have UK traffic , they are also the largest independant bookmaker in the UK . Louis do Betfred pay affiliates if their traffic moves onto other products .

Why i like the likes of Wink bingo and Costa Bingo is due to the range of unique promos coming out of them all the time. They are stand alones whereas the likes of Betfred and Bet365 are all part of the same network . There are pros to that - like having a lot of liquidity , but there are also negatives - they all have the same promos and do not really have flexibility in terms of being able to do something on the fly.

**JamieF** · 14 April 2011, 11:30 am

The Sky affiliate program is moving to the Income Access platform and as Hannah mentioned the planned launch date is May 4th. We are currently reviewing the program commission structures and marketing tools for affiliates. We are happy to listen to any suggestions for the Sky Bingo product and if any affiliates have any suggestions then please send me or Deanna from Income Access a PM.

Alex, if you after bingo content to get start then email the Sky bingo team today.
