Online Press Release Distribution

Limassol, UK ( PressRelease101 ) June 21, 2010 – With the exponentially growing trend of playing bingo online, review site Fantasy Bingo UK has experienced a surge of visitors since the site launched back in March of this year. Alex Eliades, the site founder launched the site for fun following an interest and understanding of the rapidly changing bingo industry and a passion for web development. The aim for the site was to serve as a resource for those interested to compare bingo sites and understand the pros and cons of each operators offerings.

Soon after launch the site received advertising offers to promote the services of over 30 bingo brands, and if an agreement was made with every one of them it would have derailed the sites mission of “providing an unbiased resource for those wanting to find out the best places to play bingo“. Instead the position decided was to be very selective with the brands the site would advertise, therefore deciding to stick to the most reputable operators and keep all of the reviews impartial outlining the negatives as well as positives of each one. This strategy has proven a great success and Fantasy Bingo UK has received feedback that suggests it is seen as a professional and credible bingo comparison site, which has been backed up by thousands of monthly visitors. Alex said that “using Google Analytics and setting up goals has allowed me to track the best performing areas of my site and see from where potential bingo players are most likely to exit my site… often going directly to sign up with an operator based on the information they have retrieved from my site”.

The site has become a business and now employs a content writer and has two SEO companies working on the site. Alex said that “I had never dreamt that this site would have forced me into becoming self employed, I feel very lucky indeed”. Apparently, one of the main challenges he faced was the extreme competitiveness of organic search results for anything to do with the keyword “bingo”. After taking a leap of faith and investing thousands of pounds in SEO the site has managed to achieve number 1 position in Google for a range of search terms, which has really helped bring in a lot of visitors, bolstering performance based marketing revenues.

A sneak preview of the future plans for the site includes a social network for the 5,000 or so site users so far with a unique way of integrating into Facebook. According to Sarah Taylor, there are a lot of other plans in the pipeline but nothing else was disclosed and we were told that we would have to wait and see.

Limassol, ( pressrelease101.co.uk ) May 12, 2010 – Online bingo has erupted in recent years and there are now over 250 providers on the Internet… most good and some bad. Here we have seen a revolutionary shift in market trend where big names brands like Gala Bingo, William Hill and Ladbrokes are being outperformed by new pure online names in gaming such as PartyGaming, 888 and Foxy Bingo. Many of us have started hearing about these brands on TV ads and some of us simply haven’t heard of the pure play online brands at all, but all of this leaves a doubt in peoples mind as to who is best to play with. A lot of new players therefore either take a risk with the operator they go with and play on the first site they come across or go for established offline brands, which doesn’t necessarily lead to the best operator for that specific player. Others however do some research on the Internet for recommendations on which operators are best and why, which is where Fantasy Bingo UK fills the gap. The new site launched March 2010 and addresses this issue by reviewing most of the major brands online, giving readers unbiased ratings, reviews and comparisons of only the most reputable providers. Shifty providers or operators without presence simply will not find their way on to the website leaving only safe options for those wishing to play online.

This new site consists of several major sections including an editor’s top ten bingo list, an interactive comparison table of recommended operators, a list of all the sites that offer bingo that is free to play and details of the sign up bonuses available through the site itself. There is also a complete guide that covers how the game works online, the different payment options (including using Paypal), playing tips, the operator networks, an explanation of the bonuses plus a lot more. There is also an ‘Other Games’ section detailing the most popular mini-games available, which includes reviews of Deal or No Deal, Goldenballs, Snap and Monopoly Snap, as well as Backgammon. A lot of these mini-games are TV ports of game shows, conversions of board games and variations of more traditional games. In a nutshell the new Fantasy Bingo UK portal gives users an understanding of which bingo operator is best, based on what is important to them. Since launching, the site has been a hit and has become extremely popular with new players, helping them get started.

The Fantasy Bingo UK team have also started sending out email newsletters containing news about what is going on in the industry and also details of the current offers. To register for emails you can simply sign up on the website. The team have said that they will soon be launching more social networking capabilities with a community forum where players or those looking to play can share their opinions and experiences. They will also give users the opportunity to submit their preferences when they sign up so if a user opts-in for newsletters, they will only receive information in these newsletters that is of interest to them.

The website itself is not a unique concept with many other similar portals out there, however the Fantasy Bingo UK team seem to have done things slightly differently from the rest. I think the main difference is that their reviews are completely unbiased and they have removed the gimmicky promotional factor that is found with many similar sites. The portal has become a trusted and reliable source of information for the online bingo world. If you are interested in find the right bingo provider then this site is definitely worth looking at.
