The Virgin Internet Bingo web site is actually powered by a company called 'St. Minver' they provide the gaming software and Virgin market the site. I'm not a big fan of the 'St. Minver' bingo platforms, personally I think you can find better online bingo games over at Mecca or Jackpot Joy.

Whilst not being the best bingo site on the internet, Virgin isn't the worst either. Registration is simple and quick and as there is no download you can start playing straight away. As a bonus you will be given £1 before you ever deposit any cash so you can try out the games and find the ones that suit you without dipping into your own pocket first.

Once you decide to splash the cash and deposit some funds Virgin Bingo will give you a 100% match up to £125. Virgin Bingo also has an impressive list of mystery gifts and prizes on offer during specific tournaments such as pamper packs, flowers and theatre tickets as well as plenty of cash bonuses.

Tickets for the games are generally either 10p or 25p and that’s just for the regular run-of-the-mill games which only form part of the great line-up available on the site. If you prefer something with a little more oomph to it then you’ll be very happy with the selection of daily tournaments that you can play. ‘Power Pots’, Bingo Blitz’s’ and ‘Old Fashioned Bingo Hour’ are always on the daily line-up but if you really want the big money then don’t miss Saturday nights where the Jackpot is a whopping £10,000 and even better than that – it’s only 10p a ticket!!

If you hanker after the good old days of old fashioned bingo then Virgin have the thing for you; with Old Fashioned Bingo Hour you can go back in time, get your two strips of tickets for a pound and mark them by hand. The numbers are called out slower than normal giving everybody a chance but don't worry, the system will still declare you a winner automatically even if you miss a number here or there!

Virgin have done a good job on making the site fun and there are some good bonuses available but I feel the who thing is let down by the actual bingo games which are provided by 'St. Minver'. Give it a try with the free cash bonus and see what you think!
