A new name has joined the ranks of St Minver bingo and it’s another newspaper bingo site. Joining the likes of The Mirror, The Sun, Daily Star and Daily Express in having their own bingo site are Mail Online Bingo (or Coffee Break Bingo as it’s subtitled) but this isn’t their first venture into online bingo.

The Mail will be hoping that their new site doesn’t end up in the same way as their previous bingo room. On one hand the newspaper were campaigning against the expansion of land based casinos whilst launching a bingo service in association with Cashcade. This resulted in the site being taken down (The Register).

So what of this new site? Well the bingo part of things is the same as other St Minver sites such as Littlewoods Bingo. You’ll get £1 free when you register and there’s 100% deposit bonuses, free scratchcards and just a 90 ball bingo game to take part in.

That doesn’t sound too exciting, but The Mail are hoping to grab their share of the bingo pie with a £250,000 prize giveaway. The prizes on offer include TVs, a holiday and even a car - but you also have the chance to win a holiday home in Spain too! Bingo prizes just seem to get bigger and bigger!

The property is a two bedroom, two bathroom luxury villa is part of the Mazarrón Country Club, a private prestigious residential development.

To get your hands on a home abroad you’ll need to be playing at Mail Online Bingo and try and become one of their top players from across the House for a House tournament.

You earn points by playing (and winning) bingo games - and the players with the most points will qualify for the chance to play for a home in Spain! The promotion runs from between 25th August and 19th October 2008 and their are also weekly prizes to be won.

The chance to win a holiday home should be a big lure for bingo players, but the promotion launches at exactly the same time as Sun Bingo Relaunches and Tombola Bingo becomes independent.
