MTV UK/Ireland launches Online Bingo Room
So yes, MTV is indeed showing an interest in online bingo – so much so, let’s just say there is no backing out at this point. Inking a deal with 888 Holdings’ Dragonfish bingo solutions network, MTV Networks UK and Ireland divisions will be launching a new online bingo site this month, initially as a skin of the Dragonfish Network.
What that means is that MTV will be advertising it’s new online bingo site with the hopes of drawing in a younger, hipper demographic to have a go at winning some money and engaging in like-minded chat. It also means that online bingo may never again be the same.
Giving a visit to the new skin site – fittingly named UpYourBingo – I was impressed with the layout. However, the touch of MTV is sorely missing, and one would hope they give the site a huge makeover courtesy of the X and Y generations. If this means incorporating music videos while you play, music streaming or irreverent comedic anecdotes throughout the site and chat rooms, then so be it. I just hope this isn’t a profiteering venture of the part of MTV, resulting in just another bingo room without any personality. What is this like sixty bingo rooms now in the Dragonfish network?
That’s one reason why I personally like the World Bingo Network’s Desperate Housewives Bingo Room. Admittedly, my first interest in this room was to get hooked up with a desperate housewife in one of the chat rooms. But ever since a long conservation with my priest and being won over by everything else this online bingo room has to offer, I can say that Desperate Housewives is a solid bingo room with so much more than….you know what I mean.
Needless to say, both Dragonfish and MTV are getting all gooshy over one another. In a recent press release, both companies said the same-ol’, same-ol’ “we are really excited to be partnering with one another” and such forth. Indeed, the partnership holds great potential for the UK and Ireland facing online bingo community.
