A look at TV bingo advertising

Posted Filed under

The popularity of playing games online is increasing almost out of proportion as technology advances and now people use their computers and mobile devices to source their entertainment, whether that is playing games, watching the latest TV shows, using one of the many social media sites or playing at one of the many online bingo sites like swanky bingo, the choices we are now offered are many and varied.

In fact this soaring popularity has resulted in many new bingo sites being born and because of this competition is high which has resulted in a lot of sites advertising their own brand using TV ads, some of them which are almost as entertaining as the games themselves!

If we use online bingo as an example then this particular sector now accounts for more than 40% of the gambling advertisements on TV, with more ads being shown during the daytime and being aimed at stay at home mums and others being shown in the early evening somewhere around tea time, although if the latest news on the Government thinking about cutting down on this type of daytime advertising is true we could soon see a change to this pattern.

What is certain is that these TV adverts have definitely had a positive effect on online bingo industry and as popularity increases so does the quality of the advertisements offered, and below is a selection of some of the best that have been shown since they rolled onto our screens.

Gala Bingo has that annoying but oh so addictive song (Gala-la-la) trilled by four people obviously enjoying themselves whilst we listen to the voice over informing us about the new rooms and games available. We defy anyone to say they have never had the tune in their heads at one time or another!

Another of the famous online bingo ads was brought to our TV screens by 888 Ladies Bingo and who can forget that firework display of bingo balls? It really did put a new perspective on bonfire night.

Other great TV advertisements were brought to us by Foxy and Jackpotjoy bingo, so which do we enjoy the most?  Could it be the dancing dog or the twerking cactus?  Perhaps it’s the lucky pants or maybe the racing grannies?

When we consider some of the great online bingo TV ads we must also give a nod to some of the less popular (good?) advertisements out there including Jackpotjoys which one is a male exotic dancer advert and 888 Ladies Bingo Superstar Ballad.  Also it would be a crime to forget Minxy Bingo release your inner minx advert, which when you remember it you will instantly forget it again.
