Thanks for those, Dominique. I’d looked at RubyBingo before but decided against it, but I’ll check out the others. I don’t like the bingo rooms that present themselves in the same way as online casinos (which RubyBingo does). The ones that work best – for me, at least – are the sites that give a sense of an active and friendly community and who provide a lot of easily accessible information on their pages.
Certainly, the ones that convert best for me are the ones that do this. Pics of players on the site, lots of detail about chat promotions, a straightfoward guide to downloading, registering, depositing and playing…that kind of thing is a winner, I reckon.
The bingo demographic is not the same as the casino demographic – much older, I would guess. In fact, I was in PartyBingo this morning and someone was celebrating their 52nd birthday. A couple of the people playing called him ‘youngster’, so I’m fairly certain of my facts here !
I’d agree that narrative works best, but from a purely selfish point of view, I don’t want ‘fact sheets’ and pre-fabricated reviews and all that stuff given out to any affiliate that wants it. It’s to my advantage if they’re not. That having been said, my one and only player at PartyBingo so far came via a banner, cos that’s the only thing I had up.
Incidentally, your link to GamingPartners worked. I’ve signed up under you. I’ve put a banner up and will do more with Tiki when I can get to it.
