Welcome to Online Bingo News Archive
Here at Online Bingo UK we have been covering bingo news all the way back from January 2005. There have been some amazing stories and because of this we have kept them all on file for you. Don't worry, this isn't your usual library archive where you have to fight through dust and cobwebs for your information lol!
It's been really interesting to read back and see how the world of bingo has changed over the years.
I have been reading through some stories from 2005 and it’s funny how many stories were about bingo halls, which goes to show how much things have changed for bingo. Nowadays online bingo is so big, that these stories are few and far between.
There is even a story about a player who was enjoying a game of bingo in a well known bingo hall, who was barred from playing again for shouting too loudly. Well I bet he was happy that he could still play online bingo and shout as loud as he likes from the comfort of his own home!
