With the economy, double dip recession and banker's bonuses still making the headlines we thought that for February's site of the month we'd choose a site that offers bargain bingo. Fancy Bingo is probably the least well known of the Costa, City, Sing and Xbingo group, but if you like cheap games it should be top of your list.All the proceedings at Fancy Bingo are overseen by The Fancy Hatter! In fact the whole site has an "Alice" type theme and looks pretty good. Mind you, it's about time they updated their "news" section.
The key feature of Fancy Bingo is that most games are either free to play or can be played for pennies. This means that if you bingo on a budget you can get more games for your pounds. In some respects this is good, in others not so as whilst bingo cards may well only be 1p, you can still multi-buy. This means many of the games can a little lopsided and favour the big spender.
However, one card is all it takes to win a bingo game.
This month Fancy Bingo have also introduced some prize bingo games. This brings them inline with City and Sing who have City Souvenirs and Music Memorabilia prize games every week. The Fancy prize games take place every Saturday at 8pm.
The prizes for February include Russell Hobbs Kettle, George Foreman Grill, Breadbaker and a Rice Cooker. Ok, they're not huge prizes but as the bingo cards cost just 1p each you might well be tempted. You can also pre-buy cards so you won't have to miss Take Me Out.
If you're new to Fancy Bingo then you can still get a £5 free no deposit bonus when you sign up plus there's a 300% deposit bonus. Deposit £10 and get £30 free to play. On a free bingo and penny bingo site that kind of money can go a very long way - perfect for these times of austerity!
