Bingo Debate

Just like Justin brought the sexy back, galabingo are apparently bringing back their rather impressive 20 quid complimentry play this Friday, the 14th November!

But wait that’s not all… two pieces of news in one post… you know it! GalaBingo’s brand new Radio campaign kicks off on Monday 17th! Check out their website for more info on the radio show. This isn’t a novel idea, Foxy have been running a radio show fpor ages. But hey ho - better late than never!

WinkBingo’s monthly promo’s are now in full swing. They now have a definate winter flavour, thankfully they’ve resisted the urge to jump on a Christmas bandwagon until December. It seems any way.

The first one to be unveiled is there sun holiday giveaway, worth a mighty £1000. Starting on November 1st it part of the Monthly Madness Guaranteed Game which is due to be played on December 1st at the rather late time of 10 pm. You can buy your card throughout the month for only one british pound. Basically the first bingo player to fill in their card wins the big prize. The prize should get credited to your bingo account straight away if you win.
The daily promotion this month has been named ‘The Culture Vulture Daily Delights’and amounts to a £150 prize. Apparently the 150 smackers are to take your family out for an evening of entertainment and fun, although I’m not sure WinkBingo check up on that!? Throughout the month £150 can be won every day, the relevant game starts at 8.45pm.

Bingos have recently offered their bingo players 50 tickets to the possible £34 million euromillions jackpot.

If you are a member of Bingos and you make a deposit before 10pm on Friday the 31st October you will be entered into their EuroMillions syndicate. The syndicate has bought 50 tickets and you can be part of it.

Long before the March 2008 budget the UK government had been urged to remove the VAT it has placed on bingo games, in fact campaigns have been going on for the past five years to persuade the government to ease taxation on the bingo industry. However this year the campaign really stepped up when one of the constituents of Exchequer Alistair Darling, a bingo caller at Darling’s local Mecca club gave his voice to the campaign and sent a petition to Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s website. In early March the petition had over 900 signatures.

The issue arises as the current system seems to tax the bingo industry twice. The bingo companies that provide us with the service and enjoyment have to pay a bingo duty, which From 27 October 2003 is 15% of a bingo promoter’s profits in an accounting period, in addition to VAT of 17.5%. This is not a situation endured by casinos and bookmakers.

The effect of this added strain has been more evident in the non internet side of the industry, where around 90 clubs have closed in the past two years. A trend unlikely to change if the taxation policy is not altered. A trend that is reducing opportunity in communities to socialise, leading seclusion and less cohesion. A trend that results in a loss of local jobs. A trend that will reduce spending and lead to economic slowing in these areas. A trend that affects local businesses and reduces investment in the affected areas. But most of all a trend that reduces the quality of life for many people who no longer have the opportunity to partake in their favoured pastime.

Unfortunately Alistair Darling did ease the burden on the bingo industry this March, rather more; he increased it by delivering an inflationary rise on amusement machine licence duty.

Let’s hope our efforts make more of a difference next time around.
