Cheeky Bingo Interview

Tagged as: Cheeky Bingo | by Hollie Sanders

Cheeky Bingo were hailed as the new free online bingo sensation on the net and from what we can see they could also take the title of the fastest growing online bingo site on the net for 2009. In our opinion online bingo players have been crying out for an online bingo site like Cheeky Bingo to turn up, as they have wrapped up the game of free online bingo and come up with an ultimate package. With this in mind we conducted an interview with Simon Collins, founder of Cashcade to find out just what their newest online bingo site is all about.

In our opinion Cheeky Bingo has been great news for bingo players on the net (and long awaited) but just who came up with the concept of what Cheeky Bingo would entail – i.e play for free win for real on a daily basis?

The MD here came up with the idea we all thought he was crazy… he said lets make a bingo site where we don’t charge for the bingo but where we do give out prizes… we will get lots of traffic then we can work out the commercial model later.

Cheeky Bingo has basically wrapped up online bingo and come up with the ultimate free bingo package – but the burning question on everyone’s lips is – How can you make a bingo site like what Cheeky offers viable?

Cheeky is a discount model what we do is offer the sample not via no deposit offers which only reward newbies and bonus hunters but create something for the loyal community available every day.

How quickly has Cheeky Bingo grown in months since its launch?

Its surprised everyone I think from the affiliate sites to the competition. Cheeky Bingo has taken we estimate a 6% share of the UK market in the few months its been live. We believe this is because the site offers a great user experience by not offering no deposit bonuses for players in the pay to play rooms you will only find genuine bingo fans. We also believe for those smart enough they will have worked out you can room raid the free games (due to the size of players in these rooms this is not that bad a thing) and then play the cash games so you get the best of both worlds.

Besides free online bingo, what other bingo specials does Cheeky Bingo offer?

Click the Cash Crazy tab from the game lobby and you could be our weekly £5000 winner. This Special game plays every Friday at 8pm but you can pre purchase your cards at any time.

As well as this we offer progressives and other regular promotions to keep people excited – but the main special feel on the site is the purity of the community which is unrivaled.

What deposit bonuses does Cheeky Bingo have running?

100% MATCH

How many cheeky fun rooms does Cheeky Bingo now have?

4 at the moment but we are considering adding yet more and we currently give away around £100k a month in free cash via the free rooms.

We noticed that Cheeky Bingo went on a big online bingo TV advertising campaign to coincide with its launch, do you have any more of these lined up this year?

We plan to carry on with the TV for Cheeky – we have another big brand we are about to launch soon as well which we think offers a different kind of angle.

What has been the biggest Cheeky win to date at Cheeky Bingo?

£5000 on the guaranteed game is the biggest win on the site and we pay it out weekly.

Can you give our readers an insight into what jackpots are on offer at Cheeky Bingo online?

Cheeky Bingo has progressive jackpots attached to its 5p and 10p real play bingo rooms, plus every Friday night the weekly guaranteed £5,000 bingo game comes out to play.

Bargain Bingo really is the name of the game play at Cheeky Bingo because along with your free bingo rooms, you only run 5p and 10p rooms (with the exception of cash crazy) – Was it your aim to bring bingo players a value for money online bingo site on the net to play at?

The idea was to offer something free as a sample of how the technology works and then see if anyone wanted to upgrade from that experience which would after a while prove competitive to a reasonably priced alternative pay to play room.

To round things up is there anything else you would like to add about Cheeky Bingo?

We have big plans for cheeky but we would love any suggestions or ideas from your readers as to where we should take the brand and the concpet in the next six months.
