Online Bingo Websites Reprimanded by ASA.
Friday, February 25th, 2011 - Alfie Williams.
Bingo operators are some of the biggest spenders in the online gaming industry when it comes to advertising. Millions of dollars are spent every year by online bingo brands on television adverts and other forms of online marketing. Recently, however, two online bingo brands have gotten in trouble with the Advertising Standards Agency (ASA) for misleading the public.
According to the ASA, Tombola Bingo and 888 Bingo have both aired commercials with misleading information in them. 888 is currently offering a promotion for free spins, and their advertisement for the deal stated that there would be not deposit and no charges on players accounts. However, for players who did you use their free spins, were required to meet wager requirements before being able to withdraw their winnings. Players made complaints to the ASA and the advertisements were pulled.
This is a common scenario in the online gaming world, as the many rules dictating the terms of bonuses and promotions can get quite confusing. This is why the operators at Chit Chat Bingo ensure that our rules and regulations are always clear for our players.
