Virgin Bingo Changes Welcome Bonus

Virgin Bingo has made a change to the deposit bonus offer for new players. Under the old Welcome Bonus offer, new players who deposited a minimum of £10 were given £25 free when the deposit was spent on the purchase of bingo tickets which meant a 250% bonus. As of 18th September 2012, the sign up bonus offer has dropped down to a 100% bonus on initial deposits. Wait, don&t be disappointed yet.

The percentage on first deposits has dropped but the maximum bonus amount has increased. With the old deal, players would not receive the 250% bonus on any amount greater than £10. Depositing a larger amount would not give you a greater bonus. You would be given no more than £25.

Under the new deal, Virgin Bingo has raised the maximum bonus which is now £50. The minimum deposit is still £10 giving you £10 free with the new Welcome Bonus.

The initial thought is that the reduction is a negative which makes this move by Virgin Bingo so news worthy. Although the bonus percentage had been reduced, the maximum bonus amount you are eligible has increased. Is this a step in the right direction for Virgin Bingo? You decide.
