Karen Ryan

My name is Karen Ryan, I'm a stay at home mum of 4, I first started playing online bingo around eight years ago, as at the time we only had one car which my partner took to work every night, and there was no public transport that I could get to take me to the local Gala Bingo club, so one night I was on the internet and I was bored, looking for games to play, when I typed into the search bar online bingo.

There was many different internet bingo sites to choose from, but I clicked on one of the top ones and I ended up at a site called Think Bingo. I registered I recieved £1 worth of think points to try the games, everyone was very friendly and helpful so I decided to fund £10 I got £15 with the bonus they had on, I didnt win however I wasn’t put off at all, I had fun and made a few friends, they had me laughing all night.

You are now probably wondering how £15 lasted me all night, well I was new, didnt really know what I was doing so I was only buying one card at a time. After a few days I was asking people how many bingo tickets they bought, and I came up with my own rules, I would purchase two £1 cards, four 50p cards, twelve 25p cards and I would max the 10p games.

I am sure it was on my third day of playing I had my first win, I was running around the living room like an idiot, £34 I won, it could have been a million I was so happy.

From that moment I was hooked, I was playing everyday, mostly just for the laugh, I would go on just to see if any of my friends were in the bingo chat rooms and if not I would close it and wait until later.

Now when I try one of the many new bingo sites I look to see what they are offering me the player, what bonus will I get with my first deposit? Will I get bonuses on other deposits? What’s the loyalty programme like? But most of all I like to enter rooms and see what the roomies are like and see if the CM’s are lively and entertaining, If everything is looking good then I will probably play for a few weeks see how I get on, If I have wins then I may play longer if I don’t have any wins I may play less, but 1 thing for sure I always go back to my favourite site, Wink Bingo.
