Wedding Forum - Cash Bingo for UKbride? Hmmm.......

Okay so we have a new idea to help you enjoy UKbride even more (if that's possible!)

PRIZE BINGO!!!



Here's the plan -

A - You have to be a member of UKbride

B - You have to pay for a game - Price depends on you guys (i.e.: if you only want to pay £1 a game then the prize pot will be smaller)

C - We may run the games Monthly, Weekly, Daily or even hourly - depending on interest.

D - If you win you win cold hard cash to spend on whatever you like - We simply send you a cheque (or perhaps even pay directly into you bank - depends on response from you lovely ladies)


SO here's a poll and leave your comments below -


Forum Poll

I would not be happy seeing this when people are struggling to pay for there wedding it would be just to tempting to gamble a little to see if they could win big. I think if you want to play at something that costs a £1 i would play the lottery or go use a gambling website. its just wrong to put temptation in front of people on a tight budget on a forum that has nothing to do with gambling. but that is just my view

Would all the money people pay be going back to the winner? Is UkBride taking any of it?

Thats not too bad then, £1 is not alot but i do spend £4 a week on the lottery anyway so it all adds up !!

I think if it was a once a month thing, and enough people were interested it could be good. but definitly only £1 per entry as lots of people are strapped for cash

i think a weekly game would be a good idea to start with

what about if you make it prize bingo instead of cash? like you play for prizes towards wedding. eg hairdressing, make-up... the small things.

i think id go for £1 bingo. once a month would be good maybe in the middle that way you have your power user prize 1st of the month then maybe bingo prize something like the 15th, kinda breaks up the month abit then as it feels like ages till the next pu prize

I think £1 a month is a good start, and it should be limited to one ticket per person per entry to stop people getting into trouble by spending too much.

I think it's a really bad idea. This is a wedding planning site, not a gambling site, I play the lottery already, I don't need or want another way to end up out of pocket. I think you'd be opening up a world of complications and tempting people into gambling, especially running an hourly competition, that's 168 potential playing hours a week, even if you restricted entry to one entry an hour (I automatically assume there would be limits of some sort.) How big prizes are you talking about? And how would you propose to filter out under 18s from playing?

Judging by the poll results I appear to be in the minority, but to be honest, the way you've written this makes it sound like you're gonna roll it out anyway. I find it pretty insidious to state that we'd need to pay more to get bigger prizes, £5 a play for anything more than once a week is insane, and even then that's the cost on an annual power user membership... every month. I would have severe reservations about using or recommending a site that took this route to raise funds.

I think £1 once a fortnight is plenty, maybe up to five tickets max?

But it would have to be a decent prize fund. Xx

Thanks for your feedback ladies...

The main idea is to have some fun, small gamble for £1.00 with the hope of winning some money to help you with your weddings.

I am not personally into Bingo at all... is that because I'm a bloke? I don't know.

I guess because we have little sweepstakes in work for The Grand National etc it's a bit of fun and someone always wins!

Perhaps Power User's could consider £3.50 a month and we play one game a month.

There are no plans to roll this out unless the majority are interested. Currently 80% are!

Give us more feedback - we will consider seriously all of your views.

Thanks

Wouldn't mind that either

I voted for a pound because then it could be hourly and could play more times
