A mother of three from Middleton has narrowly escaped a prison sentence this week after being found guilty of stealing £12,000 from her employers that was used to finance her online bingo addiction.


Kelly Dunn, a former manager at a card factory shop, pleaded guilty to the theft of £12,000 at an earlier hearing. The money stolen, was supposed to have been deposited in the bank on her way home from work, but instead was used to finance her online bingo gaming.


The court heard how Dunn had become increasingly addicted to the game after a substantial win.


Prosecuting lawyers explained how the events came about by saying: “The company operates a policy where no more than £3,000 can be held in the tills overnight. Staff were asked to pay money into the bank. Between that period, £12,000 was taken by the defendant. When this was discovered by the organisation, she freely admitted taking the money.”


Lawyers representing Dunn said she had developed a 'chronic gambling problem' but had failed to accept at the time that bingo was gambling. She had a substantial win when she started playing and that has prompted her to continue, believing she would keep winning. She is deeply remorseful for her actions and very sorry to her employers.”


Recorder Maurice Greene, sentencing Dunn, said: “You're a woman of good character who got involved in bingo and gambling and you needed money to do that. It wasn't a case of needs, but because of a lifestyle choice you made and couldn't control.”


Dunn, was given an eight-month prison term, suspended for one year, and ordered to do 150 hours of unpaid work.

Charity organisations depend heavily on donations to be able to continue providing the much needed help in many towns and cities across the world.


One of the most recognised charities is the Marie Curie Cancer Care Charity.


Marie Curie Cancer Care provides much needed, end of life care to terminally ill patients in their own homes, or in one of their nine dedicated hospices, so relies heavily on donations to be able to continue to offer this invaluable support. Donations received helped over 31,000 patients last year. With costs of over £10,000 per day, donations to the Marie Curie Cancer Care could never be more crucial.

Imagine sitting down at your local bingo hall for a nights entertainment, and winning the jackpot, only to not win it at all. This is exactly what happened according to one very unlucky bingo player.


Julia Barrett, of Lakehall Road, in Thorton Heath was playing bingo at the Beacon Bingo hall in Streatham Hill on Sunday, March 25. She claims to have won the £500 jackpot that night but was not awarded the winnings because the bingo caller did not hear her call.


The club refused to give her the winnings. The general manager of the club is reported to have said "Mrs Barrett had failed to make her winning call in time. Obviously she is not very happy, but it happens nearly every week. The onus is on the player, she or he has to be loud and clear. They are the rules of the game- it is not that we have not paid her the money. Everyone knows the rules.”


Mrs Barrett, said “I am crying inside. If that is the way it is going to be, I am not going back because I am wasting my time and my money. I have never won £500 in my life. I am so sick.”
The club manager invited her to come back and play a game on the house as a gesture of good faith.

A local businessman in Cork is making preparations to re open the former Waters Glass premises in Togher, Cork, after a €600,000 refurbishment of the premises that have transformed the former glazing business into a 1000 seat Bingo venue.


The Waters Glass premises closed its doors in March of this year and the owners found themselves looking for a new business opportunity.


James Barber said: “As an owner of Waters Glass I was devastated in March of this year when we had to close our doors and let so many staff go. At its peak Waters Glass employed 65 people.


Mr Barber has already started recruiting staff for his new venture and plans to employ up to 30 staff members in a variety of positions.


The facility, called ‘Rock Bingo’, will be located in the old Waters Glass premises in Togher, Cork.


The Barbers will own and manage the business. They have occupied the address for more than 25 years as Waters Glass. After investing €600,000 into the new project they hope to provide a first-class facility that will be managed by Mr Barber, his brother and two sons.


Dave Barber said: “Standard practice in Ireland for operating a bingo hall is that the club must benefit local charity…We are taking the time to choose worthy local charities that will benefit from the significant funds boost (and) would welcome any local organisations that require funding to contact us.”

Plans to develop the former Gala Bingo hall in Richmond Road, Kingston, into a 2,000 capacity, 24hour drinking and dancing establishment have been rejected.
Local residents had already voiced concerns over the proposed application when it came to light that the two men behind the project had criminal records.


After seven hours of discussions in the licensing hearing, councilors rejected the plans to create the Kingston Arena on the former Gala Bingo Hall in Richmond Road, Kingston.


Councillors gave a statement later on that read; "As there is already an overspill of anti-social behaviour from Kingston town centre into the vicinity of the premises, in particular the subcommittee believed the grant of this premises licence would exacerbate damage to cars, urination and vomiting in front of residents' properties in the vicinity of the premises, together with an unacceptable level of noise from persons leaving the premises in the evening and night time. With specific regard also being given to the police evidence, including statistics, showing the high level of reported crime and violence in Kingston town (Grove ward being the third highest in London) and the close proximity of these premises, it was considered that its location increased the likelihood of crime occurring at and in its vicinity."

As the online bingo industry grows, so does the need for websites to offer some of the most lavish promotions and offers they can to entice players to use their software. Mecca Bingo have been at the very front of both promotions and innovative gaming and have been very successful within the online bingo industry.


As Mecca Bingo’s online reputation soars, it appears the land based operations are taking a bit of a beating. In a recent announcement, Mecca Bingo have informed customers that The Mecca Bingo club in Wallsend, Tyne and Wear is due for closure.


This closure is not for any refurbishment of modernization, as one might expect of one of the countries largest bingo brands, but instead to make way for a car park.


The closure is expected to be within the next few weeks.
Mecca Bingo has a club in South Shields which is hoped will provide some of the staff from the Wallsend premises with new jobs, instead of making them redundant.


The closure is expected to be within the next few weeks,

Wayne Philbrick a student from Evesham has organised a Charity Bingo Night at Evesham Rowing Club on Friday March 30th to raise funds for The Acquired Brain Injury Education Service. Wayne has attended the service for the last seven years and has had numerous treatments, which included the removal of a second brain tumor last year. So far Wayne has raised around £200 from selling raffle tickets but hopes this event will raise a lot more.


The  Acquired Brain Injury Education Service was established at South Worcestershire College in 2025 in response to the almost complete lack of community based rehabilitation for those who had experienced a brain injury. Initially funded by the Manpower Services Commission, it became an independent unit in 2025, with professional staffing and its own management committee.  For ten years it received grant aid from Hereford and Worcester Local Education Authority. In 2025 The Acquired Aphasia Trust was set up as a registered charity to raise funds to support the work of The  Acquired Brain Injury Education Service . In 2025, due to radical changes in funding, day to day management of the Acquired Brain Injury Education Service (ABIES) passed to South Worcestershire College and now operates in partnership with the Acquired Aphasia Trust.


The charity evening will take place at the Evesham Rowing Club on Friday March 30th from 6.30pm to 11pm and tickets cost £1, including a buffet.

In the early hours of Sunday morning, police and firefighters were called to a disused Bingo Hall in Kings Heath high street, one of Birmingham’s busy shopping areas.


More than 50 firefighters were at the scene as the building continued to burn, with a great fear the building’s roof could collapse at any time. As a safety precaution, while firefighters tackled to blaze, the police evacuated seven flats close to the former Gala Bingo Hall, and closed nearby roads. This proved to be a good thing as the Gala Bingo Hall roof eventually collapsed.


Since the emergency services were called to the fire at approximately 06:30 on Sunday morning, the police have made a statement that suggests this may be an arson attack.


Roger Moore, a West Midlands Fire Service spokesman said: “It would point to the fire as being – what we would call – of doubtful origin until it is confirmed whether it’s arson or not.”


West Midlands Fire Service said the fire was being treated as suspicious.


Two nearby roads have since been reopened, but police are telling local drivers to be prepared for possible congestion.

Charity bingo plays a massive role in many US communities. Games are run for non profit and aid many worthy US charity groups and local areas. Charity bingo organizations provide substantial funding that goes in some of the most needy areas of the US. Sometimes these groups fall fowl of predators looking to profit.


Four men and a woman from New Haven Indiana, face several felony charges that include theft and unlawful charity gaming, after an investigation found evidence that the group were involved in skimming an estimated $1,00,00 from funds that were supposed to be donated to charity.


Investigators believe that the group have been taking the charity money for over five years, stealing approximately $1,000,000. The group had been running a regular bingo games in New Haven for the purposes of raising money for charity.


Lana Brooks, 55, Kenneth Brooks, 64, Steven Bouse, 60, James Schultz, 68, and 67-year-old John Gahan all face charges relating to the theft of the charity funds


It is reported that two members of the group received weekly payments of $1000 in cash each Monday from the groups finance committee. One such payment was intercepted by investigators and led to an admission by one of the group that they were paid “to run bingo”, which is illegal according to state law.


All five members of the group have since been released on their own recognizance.

Sacha Baron Cohen is most commonly know for his role as the West Side wannabe gangster Ali G. The character boasted some rare talents that resulted in a BAFTA for the Ali G Show, and led to a music video appearance with Madonna. But it appears that the latest character created by the Londoner hasn’t gone down too well in the US.


Since the filming  of Bruno in 2025, a film that revolves around Cohen’s latest character, a  19 year old Fashion Show Presenter from Austria, Cohen has found himself facing charges of assault and battery in a US court.


Richelle Olson and her husband claimed that during the filming of the 2025 film, Cohen’s character arrived at a 2025 Charity Bingo and proceeded to take the role of bingo caller, and took over the proceedings. During the bingo calls Cohen is alleged to have made allusions to his former male partner. This is believed to have been an attempt to get a reaction from the crowd, as is the style of Cohen’s work.


The scenes did not make the final cut and were not shown in the movie, however Universal Pictures presented the unedited footage of the bingo hall scenes to the court for  consideration. Olsen’s Lawyers changed the lawsuit to one of “Emotional Distress”.


The court ruled that Cohens actions during the scenes, satirized the bingo players’ views on homosexuality and gay culture and thus were constitutionally protected speech.

Full Tilt Poker finally issue a statement regarding the issues surrounding the poker operators who were formerly ranked number two in the world.


Since being indicted in April this year, there has been no formal announcement from Full Tilt regarding player accounts and the likelihood of those players being able to recover  the funds frozen therein. This has caused much concern amongst the thousands of players left “In the dark” during the months that have followed.


Surprisingly, Full Tilt have not released a statement to the thousands of customers left in “Limbo”, but instead sent a statement to American media company forbes. A decision questioned by some, as it is common knowledge that Full Tilt has the email address of every customer and one would expect that these customers would have been the first to receive information regarding Full Tilts issues. Why Full Tilt chose not to contact customers directly and opted to send a statement to forbes instead is unclear.


Within the statement, Full Tilt claim that the company was not prepared for the far-reaching US government enforcement effort of Black Friday. A remark that some online poker players feel falls short as an explanation, given that rival online poker room Pokerstars, felt the same force of the DOJ but have since managed to pay all US player balances in full, and continues to operate to non US players.


Meanwhile, a new account registered on Discussion forum 2+2 in the name of Jeff Ifrah (A lawyer representing many of Full Tilt’s companies and many members of Team Full Tilt) has been “unofficially” answering Forum members questions regarding player accounts and the actions of Full Tilt since “Black Friday”. In answering the question as to why Full Tilt had remained silent since “Black Friday”, Mr Ifrah responded “Unofficially” by saying the company was unable to say anything due to a confidentiality agreement. He went on to add that Full Tilt is now ready and willing to make up for that silence.


Full Tilt and representatives, are due to meet the AGCC again on the 15th of March, and with only two weeks before this hearing convenes, thousands of uncertain Full Tilt customers can only guess if any progress has been made at all since the first AGCC meeting.

Alison Scott from Doncaster stole her mother's savings of more than £7,000 in just a few months to feed her bingo habit.


Her 70 year old mother, received a bank letter warning that she had gone over her £800 overdraft limit. After initially being convinced she had been a victim of some form of identity theft it became apparent from her sons investigations into the matter that the person responsible for the theft was in fact her own daughter.


Mrs Crane, a retired hospital clerical worker, has cerebral ataxia, which affects her balance, and agreed her 51-year-old daughter should help manage her financial affairs through online banking. But Doncaster Crown Court heard how Scott, with no previous convictions, systematically stole a total of £7,595 from Mrs Crane.


Scott denied any wrongdoing when initially interviewed by police, but later made a full confession and admitted that a large portion of the money stolen had been used to play bingo


The judge, Recorder Henry Prosser, said it was 'touch and go' whether he sent Scott to prison immediately but he had decided to suspend the sentence saying, “You don't need me to tell you how despicable these offenses were. On a large number of occasions you pilfered from your mother's account when she trusted you. When a mother can't trust her own daughter it's a poor lookout."


Scott, was sentenced to eight months, suspended for two years, and must complete 150 hours of unpaid community work as well as attend 21 remedial sessions at Doncaster Women's Centre.

A nineteen year old mother of two who won £100,000 on bingo to become one of Britain’s wealthiest teenagers when her bingo numbers came in.


Sadly this is where the happy news finishes, as it is reported that Ursula went on to spend her winnings on gambling and lost the whole lot within only four months.


Ursula’s mother told  a high street newspaper this week how her daughter frittered the cash away on the bingo hall’s slot machines. She went on to say that Ursula is a very bad gambler and that she believed the entire £100,000 windfall all went back on gambling on bingo hall fruit machines. It was reported that Ursula regularly played £2 slot machines that offer £100 jackpots while her friends and family believed she was playing bingo.


When trying to put into scale how much money Ursula was spending a night her mother explained that five goes on a machine cost £10. Ursula played sessions from 5pm until 11pm so imagine just how much money went into that machine.

A recently held Bingo night raised £300 for the Huntington's Disease Association.


Huntington’s disease  is an hereditary neurological disorder of the central nervous system that causes progressive degeneration of cells in the brain, slowly impairing a person’s ability to walk, think, talk and reason. As you can imagine, a disease of this nature requires lots of funding for research, and care of sufferers.


Gaywood Community Center hosted an evening of bingo in order to raise important funds, and awareness for the Huntington's Disease Association.


The event was a huge success as many local people donated prizes and attended the event and approximately one hundred people attended. Including a representative from the charity organization who received a cheque for £300 at the end of the night.


Money raised for the charity will be used to buy new equipment, fund holidays and provide support throughout the year for sufferers of the condition. Friends, families and professional carers also receive support. The hereditary disease affects mental ability and control of movement, and as yet there is no cure.

Weekday games on 888ladies offer some of the greatest value. Players regularly participate during the busier weekend schedules and don’t bother with the nightly games. Often missing out on some of the smallest numbers of players taking part, that allow for a bigger chance of winning.


Monday nights on 888ladies offer some of the better value of the week day schedules. Games starting from 16:00 offer guaranteed prize pools ranging from £100 to the nightly £5,000 Coverall Jackpot at 22:00. With over £8,000 guaranteed on 888ladies, the “Cash Splash Jackpot Mania” on Monday nights is one of those promotions that offer huge value to 888ladies players wanting to play during the week.


The Monday schedule runs from 16:00 until 23:00 and includes two £500 games, two £100 games, and of course the £5000 coverall Jackpot. There are eight games offering fantastic value on 888ladies every Monday as well as the regular Progressive Jackpot games.

A 1930s grade two listed building now used as a Bingo Hall opened its doors recently to allow ghost hunters the opportunity to hold a seance, in the hope of contacting the spirit of a ghost believed to reside within the building.


The Mecca Bingo Hall in Rosehill were contacted by the Ghost Club, and agreed to an overnight gathering to investigate the ghostly goings on.


Using a crystal ball The ghost Club asked a series of questions before finally hearing noise that they believed was The grey man.


Laura Teakle, who works in the building said she heard noises which she was unable to explain. She said: “Last time I came out with the group a door slammed behind me, and this time I heard unexplained noises. I’m usually quite cynical about these things.”


The Ghost Club visited the building in April and were contacted by a former customer of the bingo hall who was thought to have passed away in 1965. The group believed it was the same spirit making contact again.

Back in March this year Best Bingo Spots posted a report showing the dominance of the top online bingo software providers. At the time of our research we failed to recognize a company that has since taken huge steps towards becoming one of the top brands in the online bingo market. It is our belief that in the ten years of business so far, The Gamesys Group have shown phenomenal growth and are rapidly becoming one of the most prominent companies in the online gaming world.


Gamesys Group was founded in April 2025, so has just celebrated its tenth Birthday. A massive achievement in itself given the competitive nature of online gaming. Many new companies fail to make an impression and only a few make it past the first five years, let alone ten.


The Gamesys logo can be found on some of the online bingo industries largest online bingo websites. The company owns jackpotjoy which is one of the worlds largest bingo websites. jackpotjoy proudly boasts over 3,000,000 members, with an estimated two winners a second and paying out over £90 million every month. It is a fair assumption that the Jackpotjoy brand is at the forefront of the Gamesys portfolio.


Gamesys also works closely with Sun Bingo, and has recently launched Caesars Bingo, announcing their partnership with Harrahs, the largest gaming operator in the world and owner of Las Vegas’ most prestigious and famous Casino brands.


Gamesys boast some impressive figures to further concrete there position as one of the worlds largest operators. In 2025 alone the company generated a revenue of £92,000,000. This revenue came from over 1.8 Billion cash bets placed at a rate of approximately 58 cash bets per second.


With household names such as jackpotjoy, Sun Bingo, and Caesars Bingo, the growth of the Gamesys group looks certain to continue, and at the rate of growth since its founding in 2025 it is our belief that by the end of this years trading, Gamesys will almost certainly be one of the biggest online bingo brands in the world.

Who says the real life bingo industry is dying? We believe that if you ask this question to the regular players at Hartlepool's Mecca Bingo situated at The Lanyard, off Marina Way, Hartlepool you might just get laughed at.


In the last six months the regulars at Mecca Bingo have collected more than £2,000,000 in winnings from the Hartlepool venue. This year has seen record breaking numbers that place the venue firmly amongst the top paying venues in the UK and the third most successful for pay-outs in the North-East, North Yorkshire and the Humber areas.


The £2m has been won over regular in-house main stage and cashline games which is a credit to the venue. National games were not included in the figures for this record breaking achievement.


Mecca Bingo have given away £17.1m across the region and £162m across the country so far this year.


Gavin Lee, general manager at Mecca Hartlepool, said: "To pay out £2m worth of prize money to our customers in just six months is fantastic. Bingo is more fun than ever. The chances of winning a sum of money that will give you a boost are huge. I think people new to the game always find it surprising how frequent the wins can actually be, whether in clubs or online. There's always a fantastic atmosphere in the club when someone wins and other customers are genuinely happy for the winner. There's a real sense of excitement and camaraderie."


People can play one of two ways, either the traditional paper-based game or by using the new Mecca Max electronic tablet.


Mark Dadson, operations manager at the club, added: "Gone are the days of 'legs 11' where customers were playing for a packet of custard creams, Mecca is an exciting and dynamic place to come that's relevant for today. With the Mecca Max, we are adding new technology to enhance customer experience. We are catering for everyone, we are keeping to our roots with the paper game yet we know people want to get to grips with technology."

A woman from Buffalo found herself in hot water recently, and facing charges due to an altercation at her local church Bingo night.


Alisha Askew is alleged to have won $150 playing bingo last weekend, but in the heat of the moment breached the bingo halls policies and was unable to collect her winnings. Alisha was not at all happy with this idea and went to the cashier desk and took her money from the counter as it was being counted out for the other winners.


Surveillance footage from inside St. Lawrence Church in Buffalo shows what happened during the final game of Bingo Sunday but Alisha Askew claims she was cheated out of her winnings.


St. Lawrence Church Bingo Chair Christine Blachowski is reported to have said "It was our last game of the night, and we tell the patrons they must be seated to get paid. She was standing up. She walked up, and then walked back to her seat, called bingo while she was standing, and then gave it to her male companion,"


Askew said, "I took the special and yelled and picked it up and the next thing I know they’re saying ‘You’re supposed to be sitting down, you’re not going to get paid, etcetera’ and I kept saying, ‘I want my money. So I went over there when I saw her counting the money and I took the money that I felt was owed to me from winning my bingo," said Askew.


After telling her side of the situation to a local News station Askew handed herself into police to face the charges brought upon her.

Paddypower Bingo has some great games on offer over the weekends. Many customers relax after a hard week at work with a few games of bingo making prize-pools that extra bit bigger. Bigger prize-pools mean more money for those lucky enough to win. Friday nights are often one of the busiest nights on Paddypower Bingo so we took a look at what is on offer this Friday.


OK, Friday night is here,  work for the week is done, your relaxation time has begun and its time to open the Paddypower Bingo lobby and find a game or two. The first game we chose for Friday had to be the £3000 Accumulator. These games start at 7pm with £500 up for grabs, but the guaranteed prize-pool increases by £100 every hour, so by 11pm your playing for a whopping £900.


Alternatively the new Deal or No Deal 75 Ball Bingo Room is also a great place to play. Each game offers six prizes, and the Full House winner gets an extra chance to “Beat the Banker”. This game is also a progressive jackpot game, so if your lucky enough to call a Full House in under 42 Balls you can bag yourself a minimum of £7500.


IF you find yourself waiting for your next game to start we suggest you take a look at two Paddypower Bingo Side games. The Big Top Tombola Progressive Slots has a Jackpot of £1,435,269 and Bouncy Balls Progressive Slots also has a £1,000,000 Jackpot. So even if you only play for a few minutes, you could win nearly £2.5 million.


Paddypower Bingo have so many games on offer, the two we have chosen as our choice for this Friday are great value, but in our experience it is probably best for all customers to simply have a wander around the Paddypower Bingo lobby and choose for yourself.

Online bingo is a pastime enjoyed by thousands of people across the United Kingdom. The game that for so long has been considered a pastime for the “Blue rinse brigade” is finally getting some credibility as one of the UKs most popular activities.


British supermodel and wild child Kate Moss has apparently given up her fast paced, boozy antics and opted for a more gentle and relaxing lifestyle. Getting married and becoming a mum seems to have chilled the former wild child as she now prefers to do normal grown up activities with her family as opposed to going out on the town with her celebrity friends.


One regular pastime enjoyed by Kate is playing lots of games in the garden with her children and  apparently a Saturday night indoors playing bingo. Kate’s best friend Sadie Frost says the pair of them are often choosing to stay in and play a few games of bingo over the weekends.


One can only guess which online bingo website is installed on Kate and Sadie’s PCs for when the children are asleep.

The internet has been awash of news articles covering the Alabama's gambling corruption trial. Last week saw the conclusion of that trial in which nine people including four state legislators faced one hundred and twenty five charges of bribery, conspiracy, bank and wire fraud and mail fraud.


VictoryLand casino owner Milton McGregor was among those defendants and faced charges of orchestrating a conspiracy to bribe state lawmakers to win support for a constitutional amendment that could have allowed electronic bingo machines at casinos in the state.


After ten weeks of court proceedings and an extensive FBI investigation costing tens of thousands of dollars the jury remarkably failed to convict any of the defendants.


Three of the original defendants pleaded guilty and testified against the nine who were tried, but the prosecutors  could not put together a convincing case against any of the accused.


Lobbyist Jarrod Massey, his assistant Jennifer Pouncy and casino developer Ronnie Gilley pleaded guilty and testified for the prosecution. But failed to provide any damning evidence that would result in a conviction for any of the nine remaining defendants.


Of the nine charged, all but the three that pleaded guilty were either acquitted or received an undecided verdict against them. The judge has scheduled a hearing Monday morning to discuss the retrial.

One of the largest attractions to Caesars Bingo is the in house Casino games. Caesars are a brand that is synonymous with casinos so it is no wonder that thousands of players partake in the hundreds of casino style games on offer.


A mathematical error has resulted in Caesars Bingo paying out tens of thousands of pounds to British punters.


The error on caesarsbingo, left one family more than £3,000 better off before the casino discovered its mistake and corrected the glitch.


One player said he had collected a total of £460 after staking just £200. “We stumbled across it by chance, and couldn’t believe how Caesars were letting this happen. We told all of our friends and family about it. In total, our family has made more than £3,000 from this glitch and one friend paid for his wedding with his winnings,”
Caesars Bingo have noticed the error and changed the programming to prevent this from happening again, but have allowed customers that took advantage of the error to keep there winnings.


Caesars said: “If they are taking advantage of something that is our error they will get to keep the advantage.”
It just goes to show that even the worlds largest companies can make mistakes. It is a credit to Caesars Bingo that they allowed customers to keep winnings earned from this error at a substantial cost to the company.

Regulars of the Embassy Bingo Club in Harpurhey Manchester are pulling together as a community to help raise funds that will provide an employee a once in a lifetime dream come true.


Billy Czuba has worked as a bingo caller at the Embassy Club in Harpurhey for a decade and a half. Mr Czuba has sadly been diagnosed and is battling terminal bone cancer. One of his lifetime ambitions is to take to the skies in a helicopter and regulars at the Embassy Bingo Club are determined he should get his wish.


A special fund raising benefit night is to be held, and visitors to the special event will be charged a £3 entry. Activities will include a free meal, bingo games and a host of other activities.


Stan Kennedy, general manager of the club, described Mr Czuba as one of the most popular staff members throughout the time he’s worked at the club.


He went on to say “It is only fitting that his friends and colleagues work together to give him a great night at the Embassy club and realise a lifetime dream of the helicopter ride. All funds raised will go directly to Billy, no costs will be deducted for any of the fundraising.”

Raising money for a charity is one of the most noble things a human can do. Taking time to do something that will raise awareness and money for a cause other than your own is a very special thing. Sadly this is also one of the hardest things to do in the current financial crisis. This hasn’t stopped Deirdre and Stephen Matthew from Coupar Angus. The brother and sister duo are planning a nineteen day hike to the Mount Everest Base camp.


They aim to raise £6800 to make the dream 19-day trip to Everest Base Camp, raising £3000 for the Scottish Huntington’s Association along the way. They have been working for months to bring their plans to fruition with a charity shop on the town’s George Street.


Deirdre said, “We have been fund-raising since last year and it wasn’t too bad initially, but the donations have dried up a bit because people just don’t have the money to give at the moment. We’ve done bingo, race nights, quiz nights and the shop and we’re almost half way to what we need. The company we’re going with, Discover Adventure, asks for a minimum £3400 each person, and we want to raise £3000 for Huntington’s on top of the charity shop should bring in about £1500, but we need more donations of items and would urge anyone with spare stuff to bring it to us.”


Deirdre and  Stephen chose the charity because of its involvement with a friend from Coupar Angus with the disease.
Deirdre said, “I did Machu Picchu five years ago for Marie Curie and that was a lot easier. There was more money around and people seem less willing for Huntington’s because they know less about it. From that point of view, it’s been a good thing, because we’ve also been able to raise a lot of awareness through our fund-raising.”


Deidre and Stephen have a long way to go before even starting there amazing journey, and welcome any and all donations. If you live in the Coupar Angus area and are in a position to visit the shop, all donations will be gratefully received.

There has been drama at the local Mecca Bingo Hall in Stevenage this past week surrounding the dismissal of one of its workers.


The dismissed employee was described as polite and hard working and was so popular with customers that fifty of them decided to draw up a petition to have the dismissal reversed.


The petition was drawn up in an excersize book that was being passed around the hall during a nightly bingo session.
Regulars at Stevenage Mecca Bingo were left gob smacked when the manager took the book from customers and proceeded to tear out the pages of then book in which over 50 customers had signed their support.


Bingo-goer Carol Mitchell said: "We were getting up a petition to have him reinstated. He was a good lad – polite and hard-working. We had around 50 signatures. We just had an exercise book and we were handing it round. One of the managers took the book off of someone in the Mecca and ripped all the pages out. They were saying it was our property – they are not allowed to do that. He came and took the book of a customer and ripped the pages. He said we couldn't do it on their property. I just think it's pathetic. Mecca are fine when we are saying good things about them, but when we have a dispute they don't like it."


No-one from the company was available to comment on the situation. A spokesman blamed staff preoccupation with Mecca Bingo halls in areas of London experiencing rioting. She insisted however that the matter will be looked into fully.

A regular trip to Stockton’s Mecca Bingo turned into a night to remember for Lisa Campbell recently.
Dressed as an elderly lady, TV’s John Barrowman caused quite the scene as he suprised Lisa during her weekend bingo night out.


In true Barrowman style he emerged from the crowd of bingo players dressed as an elderly lady and sprung the surprise on Lisa, as he told her she was to appear on television this weekend and preparations had been made for her to sing with her favourite band, The Overtones.


Barrowman explained to Lisa and onlookers that she had been picked to appear on BBC One's Tonight's the Night, a programme dedicated to making everyday people's dreams come true.


Lisa was nominated by her long standing friend Rachel for her bravery in battling a string of serious medical conditions. The show was viewed by thousands and despite the nerves beforehand, Lisa, of Hardwick, Joined The Overtones as they sang Come Back My Love.


Lisa, said the performance was fantastic. "I went out and forgot about everyone. I just focused on the band. As soon as I got off I wanted to go back again,". Judging by the applause from the audience,  I don’t think they would have minded.

Jackpotjoy Bingo are one of the most popular online bingo operators today. Promotions and offers are awarded to loyal players at a phenomenal rate and help keep Jackpotjoy firmly amongst the very top online bingo providers.


Our research team were tasked with finding out just what makes Jackpotjoy Bingo so popular. However while looking into the websites many promotions and offers our researchers became distracted and instead provided that is simply unbelievable.


Over this last weekend (Friday 5th, Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th of March), Jackpotjoy Bingo paid out a staggering £19.3 million in winnings.


Fridays winnings were a massive £5,883,779.11


Saturday turned out to be the best day with winnings being awarded in the amount of £7,211,316.48


Sundays proved equally as impressive as Jackpotjoy Bingo winners shared a massive £6,289,959.69


In just three days Jackpotjoy Bingo gave away nearly £20,000,000. A truly life changing amount of money. Jackpotjoy Bingo regularly pay out amounts similar to those mentioned above. We firmly believe that many rival online bingo providers come very close to awarding similar amounts of winnings but we don’t think they do so as quite as regularly as Jackpotjoy Bingo.

Regulars at the South Tyneside Crown Bingo are in for a special treat this week, as the region's oldest independent clubs prepares to celebrate its 50th birthday next week. Crown Bingo in Hudson Street, Tyne Dock, South Shields, opened in March 1961. The former cinema has been open every day since.


To mark a remarkable five decades of continuous bingo, the club have organised a week of celebrations, including free lines and big cash prizes, holiday giveaway and cabaret.


Comic Ned Kelly will perform alongside the entertainment troupe Memory Lane next Friday night, and legendary Geordie stand-up Bobby Pattinson will have bingo regulars laughing in the aisles on Saturday night.
The family-run business was founded by former Harton Colliery electrician Bill Hearn, his brothers Tom and Michael, and cousins George and Raymond. Crown Bingo is believed to be one of the first bingo halls in the country to open following the 1960 Betting and Gamings Act. The premises were bought from the Stanhope Cinema Club in 1959.


Bill said: "It is a wonderful achievement to have kept going this long without a break, and we are delighted to be celebrating our 50th anniversary in style. It should be a great week, and we are looking forward to it all. It is our way of thanking those who have been so loyal to us over the years, and long may it continue.


Before that, the building was formerly a British Rail school providing education for the children of the workers living in the station cottages nearby, as well as the children of dock workers.

Mecca Bingo are reportedly taking steps to allow players the opportunity to continue playing bingo while stepping outside for a cigarette. The frustration of players that miss games because of the urge to pop to the smoking area (since the smoking ban in 2025 that prohibits smoking in public areas) has been addressed by Mecca Bingo who propose to give players the latest  hand held electronic bingo equipment at a cost of approximately £60,000, so that they can continue playing from the smoking areas.


Reports in various local newspapers suggest that Mecca Bingo are planning to invest a staggering  £60,000 to build larger external smoking shelters which will allow players to enjoy playing bingo while having a smoke.


Planning permission was granted in March but the Edinburgh's licensing board only gave permission this week to extend the gaming area in which gambling can take place in the rear of the bingo club. Not all councillors on the board were in support of the plans.


Despite concerns of noise pollution from locals the development is expected to be met with open arms by Mecca Bingo regulars, and will further enhance players enjoyment if they are able to continue playing without having to miss games to pop outside for a smoke.


Clever marketing strategy by Mecca Bingo to maintain revenues, or a genuine proposal to provide a better service to customers? We will leave that for the customers to decide.

Caesars Bingo are becoming very very popular in the online bingo world. Players are starting to notice the superior quality of promotions on offer and are slowly but surely taking a look for themselves, to see what the Caesars Bingo experience is all about recent months, Caesars Bingo have offered so much more than the usual bonuses and promotions offered by the mainstream bingo websites.


Our news team reported only last month that Caesars Bingo was offering players a chance to win a once in a lifetime trip to Las Vegas. This months offers are equally impressive as Caesars Bingo are offering players a chance to win a trip to New York.


These are both fantastic promotions and alongside the more normal offers make for a very generous player reward scheme indeed. We would go as far as to say that Caesars Bingo is quite possibly one of the most generous online bingo providers when it comes to bonuses and offers.


While looking through the Caesars Bingo website today we found something quite amazing and decided to report to you an amazing opportunity. However, as our article is written the information below might not be 100% accurate. Let let me explain.


One of the largest Jackpots on Caesars Bingo and quite possibly the world in about to reach a staggering £750,000. Three Quarters of a million pounds in cash. Amazingly the Caesars Bingo Deal or No Deal Jackpot has climbed £15,000 in the last few minutes as this article was being written and currently stands at £729,062. We expect this to reach the £750,000 sometime within the next few days and unless won, we believe it will only be a week or two before it reaches £1,000,000.


We are not sure how Caesars Bingo are able to provide just fantastic offers but they do, and they do a lot. Our hope is that we will soon be able to report on a Ceasars Bingo million pound winners story.

The Kahnawake Gaming Commission have surprised many online poker players this last week by announcing that it has granted Full Tilt Poker a renewal of its Secondary Client Provider Authorization. Full Tilt Pokers current primary eGambling license has been suspended by the Alderney Gambling Control Commission since June 29th.


Last Tuesday, the AGCC held a public hearing to present evidence regarding Full Tilt's suspended license. Full Tilts representatives requested that the pre-hearing application for adjournment be held in private to avoid making public, information that potentially could damage its efforts to find new investors in the company.  The AGCC granted Full Tilt's request, and after private discussion with Full Tilts solicitors announced that it would be adjourned until no later than March 15th.


The announcement that the Kahnawake Gaming Commission have granted Full Tilt a secondary license came as a huge surprise and has resulted in many online discussion forums being awash with speculation and concern.


Both the AGCC and the KGC are very prominent in the online gambling industry. Both regulate some of the worlds largest online poker, bingo, casino and sports betting brands.


The question being asked is; Why would such a prominent regulatory body choose to grant Full Tilt  a license of any kind when the AGCC, another of the worlds most respected regulatory bodies have already suspended the companies primary eGambling license?


It is quite clear that even with this secondary license it will be difficult for Full Tilt to resume operations as the AGCC made it quite clear when they initially suspended the license. They released a statement at the time that said Full Tilt must cease to register new customers, accept deposits from existing customers, allow existing customers to withdraw funds that are held in their accounts, and permit customers to participate in any form of poker game play or gambling transaction.


It would appear that the AGCC and the KGC may have a difference of opinion when it comes to the matter of whether Full Tilt should hold eGambling licenses. The opinion of the many players involved appears to be firmly in agreement with the AGCC.

Caesars Bingo have gone promotion crazy. The latest offering from the ever popular online bingo room is simply astonishing.
It was only last month that Caesars bingo offered players a chance to win a once in a lifetime trip to Las Vegas. A prize that we thought could never be matched. The team at Caesars bingo however had different ideas, and this months promotion is just as impressive.


If you play between Monday 1st March and Sunday 28th March on Caesars bingo you could win a fantastic shopping trip to New York. To stand a chance of winning this amazing prize you will need to acquire prize draw entries. To do this you must spend £10 on Bingo, £30 on Slots or Mini Games or £100 on Casino per draw entry. Players wanting a chance to win this prize have until 28th of March to accumulate as many draw entries as possible and the prize on offer is certainly worth the effort.


If you are the lucky winner you will win a five day trip for two to New York. This holiday package includes $1000 spending money, accommodation in a luxurious four star hotel in the heart of Manhattan, limo service to and from the airport, dinner at the View restaurant, and a tour of Manhattan.


Caesars bingo have done it again, this truly is a prize of epic proportions that will surely give the winner a once in a lifetime experience.

Many online gaming websites offer some form of referral program that rewards customers for encouraging friends to sign up to there website, but in most cases this promotion tends to be more trouble than its worth. Having to manually fill in email addresses and your friends personal details often puts people off from recommending friends to the websites offering this promotion.

You can refer as many friends to Jackpotjoy bingo as you want so the opportunity to earn some decent cash is amazing. The more friends you invite, the more bonus funds you can earn. This is a really good offer, especially if you have lots of friends who like playing bingo.

The online poker world was shook back in April when the US Department of Justice seized the domain names of two of the largest online poker rooms and indicted both with charges of bank fraud and other charges relating to online gambling laws in the US.


It appears that the US Government have stepped up to pressure on Online gambling websites that offer services to US customers. As well as indicting two of the worlds largest online poker providers the US Government have turned there attentions to online Bingo operators too.


Funtime Bingo customers met with the same image when logging into there accounts on Funtime bingo this week that says that the website has been seized by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Homeland Security Investigations. The Seizure notice explains that a warrant has been obtained with the assistance of the US Attorneys Office and issued by the US District Court of Maryland.


Funtime Bingo have reopened using a different domain name and are keeping customers updated by using a Facebook page, and look not to be too concerned with the seizure of there dot website.
Other online bingo providers are taking this seizure as a sign of things to come and only last week, World Bingo Network announced they were to close there entire network giving customers the following statement:


It is with great sadness that we announce the closure of World Bingo Network and all sites. A challenging environment and circumstances beyond our control have made it impossible for us to continue operations. It is our intention to ensure that all players are taken care of and deposits refunded at the earliest possible time. All players will be receiving letters in this regard. We have fond memories of great people, wonderful staff and fun times while they lasted.


It is very apparent from the US Governments actions that the debate into legalising online gambling is far from over, and any and all operators targeting US customers are walking on very thin ice. The US Government have made it quite clear with these latest seizures that they intend to pursue US facing gambling operators that ignore US legislation.

The Rank Group, whose brands include Mecca Bingo and Grosvenor casinos, has emerged from its messy takeover by Malaysia-based Guoco with plans to take on 1,400 staff as it looks to expand its casino chain.


Rank are proposing to take on this recruitment initiative over the next three years, as part of a revised plan to complete a faster turn out of the companies new G-Casino format.


Ranks goal is to build on its already substantial casino portfolio, and they hope to have forty five casinos in operation by 2025. It is planned that no less than thirty of these will be the new G-Casino’s. Locations targeted for these properties include Stockton-on-Tees, which is planned for completion later this year, Manchester and New Brighton in Merseyside that will be completed  in 2025.


In a bid to modernise the chain with the new look G-casino Brand it has been decided that  an older-style casino in Kensington is to close.


The new sites have poker rooms, electronic games, bars and restaurants as well as casino tables and are designed to appeal as a night out venue to a younger, less formal customer than the traditional casino. The plan is also rumoured to include live entertainment at weekends so create a one stop entertainment complex to appeal more to today’s clientèle.


The Rank Group, have also announced the appointed of Clive Jennings as its new finance director. Jennings has been promoted from financial controller and will serve as a director on the company's board.


Ian Burke, who remains Rank's chief executive and chairman, despite having resigned  on 28 June, said: "I am delighted that Clive is joining the board of the company. With his knowledge of the business, I am confident that he will contribute significantly to the development of Rank in the future."

The drama and confusion that surrounded the Rank group during the recent takeover have settled down this week. Shareholders eventually decided to sell off all but 25.5% of the company to the Malaysia-based Guoco, just under the 75% that would have meant that Rank Group would have possibly been listed as a private company.


One winner of the recent takeover is Ranks advisor’s Goldman Sachs, who are expected to collect a substantial part of the £4,300,000 costs that were incurred due to the boards repetitive changing of direction throughout the takeover.
Rank’s executive chairman, Ian Burke, has said that Goldman Sachs will receive a “big part of that” but went on to say that the £4.3 million was a normal amount for situations such as these, and that the company got where they wanted too in the end.


Throughout the takeover process Rank Group have continued to do well in the market with the first six month of 2025 showing a marginal improvement from £28.6 million to £29.5 million on revenues.
Pre-tax profits rocketed from £67.4m to £175m as Ranks accountants logged the final £162m of a £275m VAT rebate, leaving the group with 37.2m net cash against net debt of £123m at the year end. Rank is hopeful of landing a second similar sized rebate, as long as HM Revenue & Customs fails in its European Court of Justice challenge to recoup the sums. Rulings are expected by the year end.

Tuesday March 26th 2025: Representatives from the AGCC, Full Tilt Poker, the media press and members of the general public convened in London´s Park Plaza Victoria Hotel in the hope of finally getting some answers into the future of Full Tilt Poker. The meeting had been planned to discuss in public the suspension of Full Tilts operating licence by the AGCC last month.


Executive Director of AGCC, André Wilsenach, had previously said that the AGCC's choice to hold a public hearing in to the future of Full Tilt Poker demonstrates ther AGCC’s willingness to act transparently and will welcome members of the public and the media. Yet when media representatives arrived at the venue they were told there would be no WIFI, mobile phones or indeed any recording equipment allowed in the hearing.


Before the meeting began the AGCC offered Full Tilt representatives the opportunity to make any proposals they felt needed addressing.


Full Tilts solicitor Mr Martin Heslop opened, as many had suspected he would, by requesting that the hearing be postponed until a later date, and also requested that any future meeting be held in private. Mr Heslop went on to explain that to hold a public hearing could reveal commercially sensitive information that could bring to a halt any possible deal that is currently in the process of being completed, as well as the application containing confidential information that could have a damaging effect if it was to be released to the public which will result in customers of Full Tilt Poker being affected.


The AGCC eventually retired to a second chamber to discuss this proposal, and after less than an hour of the “Public” hearing, the members of the media press and general public were ushered from the room.


Reports of what transpired for the remainder of the day is speculative at best, but one piece of information that did find its way to the media representatives was that Full Tilt owed the AGCC a staggering £250,000 in unpaid licensing Fees. It was reported that Mr Heslop had made promise to pay the AGCC the amount owed with seven days if the AGCC granting his motions to have the hearing adjourned and held at a later date in private. These conditions were suggested by members of the media press to be nothing short of blackmail.


The media press and members of the public were left out of the remainder of the hearing with very little information being passed back from the hearing until shortly before 6pm when the announcement came that the hearing was indeed going to be adjourned until 15th March.


Full Tilts ongoing reluctance to share information with it’s customers looked like it may have had nowhere to go this morning but Mr Heslop did a good job on letting the world know that Full Tilt are not prepared to discuss its future with anyone unless they absolutely have to. The AGCC had a chance today to give thousands of poker players a few answers to the many questions that as yet have gone unanswered. The general feeling from some of the worlds largest online discussion forums is that the AGCC failed to deliver its promise of transparency as any answers that were made available to the AGCC, were kept from the public.

Everyone should be able to access high quality care and the support they need at the end of their life in the place of their choice. In many areas of the UK, care and support are not always available to people in need. As well as not having the choice to die where they wish, research shows that people approaching the end of their life are not always afforded the dignity and respect they deserve.


Marie Curie has 2,000 nurses in the UK and last year they worked for 1,200,000 hours caring for terminally ill patients, including half of all cancer patients who die at home. Marie Curie also have nine hospices and are the biggest provider of hospice beds outside the NHS. In total, Marie Curie spends over £80 million a year on its charitable activities of providing care as well as on research and development. The figure is overwhelming, but so is the comfort that the money can provide.


Mecca Bingo have a long term promotion that tries to offer some help to the Marie Curie Cancer Care charity by donating 40p for every £1 spent in the Two Little Ducks room for the whole of the first week of every month. The games will take place from the 1st to the 7th of each month between 1 – 9pm. Tickets are only 25p and there will be £150 up for grabs in each game! So get yourselves over to the Two Little Ducks room where you can not only win yourself big cash prizes but you'll be raising money for Marie Curie Cancer Care too!

Paddypower Bingo have been busy in the developements department and have recently finished work on not one, but two new games for Paddypower Bingo customers.
The first new game to be launched on Paddypower Bingo is the new 75 ball Deal or No Deal Bingo. This is a standard 75 ball game with a few added extras to make play a lot more enjoyable.


The game offers six prizes instead of the usual three and awards players for the usual Full House, as well as one line, two line, three line, and four line wins. If you are fortunate enough to be the player that gets a Full House then you will also win a go in an additional game where you can play at beating the banker and potentially uncover a small fortune. There's also a progressive jackpot (starting at £/€7,500)  that can be won when a Full House is called in 42 balls or under. The winner receives 50% of the jackpot and the rest of the players receive a share of the other 50%.


The second new game to be launched on Paddypower Bingo is the new Cash Bingo. This is a mini-game version of 80 ball bingo otherwise known as Cashline Bingo or Parti Bingo in bingo halls! This is the very same game that is played during intervals of bingo sessions. Arriving at Paddy Power by popular demand, now you can play it at your own convenience on Paddy Power Bingo!


These games are both available on the Paddypower Bingo website now and are already drawing quite a crowd.

The bumpy and troublesome journey undertaken by shareholders of Bingo hall and casino operator Rank Group seems to have gotten a little bit smoother as the deadline to give shareholders the opportunity to withdraw any acceptances has passed. The worry that if the takeover acquired 75% of the stock has also passed and Rank Group is not to be de-listed. Guoco's offer is reported to have closed with 74.5% acceptances for its 150p-a-share offer and retained its listing in London after narrowly avoiding the 75% threshold.


On more solid ground after a very interesting few months, the Bingo hall and casino operator Rank Group have topped the days trading on the FTSE by nearly 0.5%. One scenario many thought would never have been possible under the circumstances surrounding the recent dramatic takeover drama.


News that the UK Treasury plans to make a number of regulatory changes that will see online gambling companies based offshore paying British tax does not appear to be slowing interest in the Rank Group, but other online gaming companies such as Betfair Group, William Hill, and Ladbrokes all showed small losses.

An evening out at the local bingo hall so nearly ended in tragedy if it were not for the quick thinking of a Mecca bingo member of staff.


Betty Barnes from Grindon was enjoying the beginnings of a night out with friends, when she suffered a heart attack and fell to the floor. Onlookers stood in shock as one of the bingo halls most well know members lay on the floor, but a quick thinking member of staff rushed to her rescue.


The pensioner, was just about to buy her books at Mecca Bingo in Holmeside when she collapsed with a heart attack. Luckily the Mecca Bingo’s first aider Mr Ken Norton was close by and gave the lady treatment until paramedics arrived on the scene.


Mr Norton 67, from Grangetown, has worked in a number of roles at Mecca over the past 11 years, had to remove Betty's false teeth to ensure her airways were unblocked and placed her in the recovering position until paramedics arrived


Betty spent six days in Sunderland Royal Hospital, where she was fitted with a pacemaker.
Angela Heggarty, duty manager at Mecca, said: "Our staff are absolutely fantastic in any sort of emergency. We are very, very proud of them."


Betty has since been reunited with her hero, telling him: "I thank you with all my pacemaker heart – you deserve a bag of gold."

Happy Hour promotions are one of the most popular forms of promotion offered by many of the major online bingo providers. Customers seem to love the idea of getting top quality bingo at reduced charges, and at pre-determined times of the day, which allow players with a busy schedule to make arrangements so that they are free to play their favourite games.


Sky Bingo have joined the ranks of those companies to offer such a promotion, but have taken the initiative and are offering not one, but two happy hours every week day.
These manic hours of play are from 11:00am until noon, and again from 17:00 until 18:00 from Monday to Thursday in The Sky Value Room, and are one of the most popular times to play bingo on Sky bingo. The idea of running two Happy Hours is to allow everybody an opportunity to enjoy the offer.


During the course of each Happy Hour there will be many different games to choose from.


The usual 1TG and 2TG games prove as popular as ever
The Equal Chance Games give everybody an equal chance of winning so are equally as popular.
The BOGOF (buy one get one free) and BOG2F (buy one get 2 free) offer those looking for some free tickets a regular supply of games and free tickets.
And finally the  Penny bingo games, offering bingo for those on a budget.


To take advantage of Sky Bingo’s double Happy Hour promotion, simply log into your Sky Bingo account during the promotional times and visit the Sky Value Room.
