Play Deal Or No Deal – DOND
The latest craze that seems to be sweeping the internet is Deal Or No Deal also known as DOND. The game started with a UK TV show broadcast by Channel 4 from October 31st 2005 and is still going strong today. The show has captured the imagination of the v public and has enjoyed increasing popularity ever since. Deal Or No Deal even has its own fan club which the shows presenter Noel Edmonds has fondly named the 'Red Box Club'.
Each show sees one contestant take on the banker in a battle of nerves, courage, risk and reward. The game is played with 22 identical sealed boxes which contain from 1p to £250,000, the contestant firstly picks a box and then chooses one by one which of the other boxes to eliminate from the game. The aim of the game is not to discard the 'Power Five' boxes which contain £35,000, £50,000, £75,000, £100,000, £250,000. No one knows what is in the boxes and each game varies wildly. As the game progresses the banker offers the contestant a cash amount to end the game. The amount offered varies depending the value of the remaining boxes left in the game. The game show has now be sold around the world, so no matter where you live the game will be coming to your TV screen very soon.
Perhaps a surprise too many is that DOND has started to become popular online. You can now play deal or no deal for free or even for real cash. The online game in many ways is similar to the TV game apart from the prize money which depends on your stake. The same principle applies as so does the general game play. You simply select a box and then one by one you pick boxes to eliminate from the game.
As with the game show there are many different strategies that players use to play deal or no deal. Some prefer to lock in their profit and accept the bankers offer as soon as they are in profit. Other prefer the thrill of the big gamble and go for the big win. To date the biggest amount won online playing DOND is £965,728 which was won by one lucky lady called Emira B.
For anybody though starting out with DOND I would suggest that you start with the free game to gain a good understanding of how the game works plus develop a decent strategy. As with all games practise makes perfect! Many of the leading UK online gaming sites now offer you to play deal or no deal for real money for as little as one UK pound.
Your decision to take the bankers offers should always depend on the amount of cash remaining in the unopened boxes. As I have already said there is no optimum strategy but I can tell you that many have been successful banking when they have been offered a profit of 30% or more when only 3 or less of the top 5 prices remain.

Bingo around the World
Bingo around the World
There is no doubt that the UK is the unofficial capital of bingo. The rise of the UK online bingo game can only be described as amazing. Bingo has become the leading form of online gambling in the UK played by all age ranges and vastly helped by the demise of live bingo and heavy advertising on all UK media. I will say though that bingo is not restricted to the UK only. America has an extremely strong live bingo presence although the online bingo scene has been stifled by the online gambling laws which class many of the existing online bingo sites as unlawful. Throughout the states though you will find thousands of bingo halls and if the online gambling laws are changed in the future there is sure to be a boom online.
Spain also has seen a massive surge in online bingo. Spain is only second to the UK for the growth of the online game. During 2008 there has been a major increase of Spanish online bingo sites fighting for the large volume of Spanish players. This has not gone unnoticed by the established UK online bingo giants and already Mecca have launched their own white label bingo site Bingo International which is strictly targeted at the Spanish market.
Italy has also seen rapid growth in the online bingo scene and is ranked third behind the UK and Spain. In many ways Italy is way behind but analyst predict strong growth in Italy during the next couple of year. Perhaps one of the surprising countries where bingo is popular is Japan. Japan has always had a thriving live bingo scene with thousands of bingo parlours throughout the country. As with the UK the game has transferred rapidly online creating a booming industry. The live game in Japan mirrors the live bingo scene in the UK where it is a very social event.
Australia and New Zealand also have a strong live bingo community and once again there seems to be growth in the online bingo scene. Australia has many bingo halls through the country as does New Zealand.
Many wonder why the UK has taken the lead in the online bingo world. My theory is this is simply due to a few factors. The main factor is that online gambling in the UK is fully legalised and regulated unlike online bingo in many other countries. Secondly the live bingo scene in the UK was badly hit by the smoking ban. In the UK you are no longer allowed to smoke in enclosed public areas and since the introduction of the smoking ban many players simply stopped playing live. Thirdly the credit crunch in the UK as hit everybody hard. The simple fact is that it is much cheaper to play bingo online than live and as you are playing against more players online the prize pools are vastly increased online. The final factor is the heavy promotion of online Ladbrokes Bingo by the UK media. Prime time TV is flooded with bingo commercial which are endorsed by well known celebs such as Katie Price and many others.

Free Bingo Money – Bingo Bonuses Explained
Free Bingo Money – Bingo Bonuses Explained
Due to the rapid growth of online bet365 bingo, bingo sites are laterally fighting against themselves for your custom. The fighting in real terms comes in the form of free money which the sites use to tempt you to play on their site. This though comes in many forms and in some case is not what it seems. Let’s break down these offers so you have a better understanding of how these offers work.
The best type of offer that an online bingo site may offer you is a straight no deposit bonus. These vary in the actual amount from 1 to 20 pounds and do not require you to make any deposit at all. Some of the sites though that do offer you these types of offers will though request that you register a credit card. This is of course for age verification as bingo is a form of gambling and UK law states that the minimum age for partaking in any form of gambling is 18. Most though do not request that you register a credit or debit card.
The next form of bonus at first seems to offer a no deposit bonus but on further inspection this is not the case. The site may well advertise £20 free but it order to claim the free money you will have to make a small deposit of around 5 to 10 pounds. Other variation of this type of bonus is a release type bonus. The site will offer you 20 pounds free if you deposit let’s say 5 pounds but the actual 20 pounds will only be released to your account after you have played a predetermined amount of games. Some of these offer will require you to make another deposit for the bonus is released into your account.
Another type of bonus is a deposit bonus or a matched bonus. In simple terms a online bingo site will match your first deposit amount up to a certain amount. They may state that they will offer you a 100% bonus up to £100. This means any amount you deposit up to £100 the site will add to your account the same amount. So deposit £100 and they will add to your account another £100. Some sites will make the first deposit bonus very tempting with a 200% bonus. So deposit £100 and have an extra £200 added to your account. Of course there are terms and conditions attached to this bonus otherwise you could simply deposit £100 and withdraw £200. Again the site will specify that you can’t withdraw any amount until you have played a predetermined amount of games.
You will find hundreds of affiliate sites on the internet which list all the different type of bonuses available for the major online sites. The best of these sites will also give details of the different bonuses available for each site and in many cases you will get a better deal from the affiliate sites than from the actual online bet365 bingo site.
For your own peace of mind though make sure before you sign up to any online bingo site read the sites terms and conditions.
