The rise of Bingo in the United Kingdom means that the choice of Bingo rooms that the UK consumer now has is breathtaking. Similarily the choice that Bingo Affiliates have in terms of who to promote via Bingo Affiliate programs is also unprecedented. Bingo Affiliates now have Bingo Affiliate programs on 7 or 8 different software platforms and have literally hundreds of Bingo affiliate programs to choose from.

With this amount of choice avaialble to bingo affiliates we do think that affiliates need to be careful as there are always some weeds amongst the daffodils. Ensure that whichever Bingo affiliate program you choose uses best practice . What we mean by best practice is the following . The program pays a revenue share on the lifetime of the player . You are able to communicate via various means with the program and you recieve answers within an accepted time frame.

We have recently been monitoring the keyword bingo affiliates and noted that there has been a lot of activity around this keyword . One major site seems to think that its ok to go ahead and blog absolute rubbish every single day re this keyword . If you are going to take advice from sites re who to promote , try and stick to sites that dont offer you advice due to the money that they recieve .

During our research we came across a site that offers all of the advice that you need to succesfully promote a Bingo room . Bingostreet has its own purpose bingo affiliate page where you can read the latest news and reviews re Bingo Affiliate programs. Using this information is totally at your discretion but i know that we tend to go for sites who are authority sites in the Bingo Industry and will follow their advice rather than rely on a site who simply puts up a review and rating for money. Two different business models – yes , but i know which model i rely  on to ensure that whoever i am dealing with is on the level.

Learning bingo lingo is a lot like learning a new type of  language.  With the advent of online bingo you have to now learn two type of language of yu are a online bingo fan and a normal bingo hall follower.  This article is dedicated to explaining some of the more obscure bingo phrases followed by a bit devoted to a short description of the supposed meaning behind a few of the more obscure pieces of bingo lingo!

Please note that “What does that strange bingo phrase mean? Part 1” is the first part of this article.

Thirty stands for Burlington Bertie.  Strangely enough this is where bingo slang crosses over into horse racing terms! Burlington Bertie is the racing circuit odds of 100-30.  30 also stands for Speed Limit as this is the imposed vehicle speed limit in UK residential areas.

Thirty-three stands for Sherwood Forest; the Home of Robin Hood. This is possibly because 33 or all the threes rhymes with all the ‘trees’.  Hey, I didn’t think of this, I’m only explaining it.

Thirty-nine stands for Those Famous Steps.  Book worms will recognise this from the classic espionage book called “The 39 Steps”.

Forty-nine stands for PC or Police Constable. PC 49 was a famous cop show in the golden days of British radio in the forties and fifties. The show also had a few comic strip and film spin-offs, which explains all the police terms associated with this number.

Fifty stands for Bulls Eye.  Bingo likes to lend terms from other games and this one comes from darts, which for those who don’t know, is a popular game in the UK which is played by throwing small, flighted darts at a circular dart board that divided up into numerical segments. The centre of the dart board normally has a small, round dot called the “Bull’s Eye” which, if hit by a dart, is worth 50 points. Therefore 50 means Bulls Eye.

Fifty-two stands for Danny La Rue.  This is a well known British drag artist, probably chosen for the rhyming.

Fifty-seven stands for Heinz Varieties.  if you have visited the UK, you would know that Heinz 57 is a very popular type of canned baked beans over there.

Sixty-four is based on The Beatles Number based on the song “When I’m 64″ by British pop legends, The Beatles.  The lyrics are “When I get older losing my hair, many years from now…”

Sixty-five stands for Old age Pension, which is the traditional minimum age British citizens has to be before they can claim a state pension.

Seventy-two stands for Par for the course, which is based on golfing terms.

Seventy-seven stands for Sunset Strip, a Cult US TV show.

That concludes our Bingo Lingo series of articles .

Learning bingo lingo is a bit like learning a new language.  With online bingo you unfortunately have to learn two type of languages: the online bingo lingo and the bingo hall lingo of old.  This article is dedicated to explaining some of the more obscure bingo phrases followed by a bit devoted to a short description of the supposed meaning behind a few of the more obscure pieces of bingo lingo!

Please note that ‘What does that strange bingo phrase mean? Part 2’ is a continuation of this article.

Most of these terms will probably be easier to understand if you are British as they have more often than not originated in England.  A couple of the terms used in bingo are based upon rhyming slang, a bit like the kind used by East End London Cockney’s. For example, 78 is “Heaven’s Gate”, simple as that (but you have to know it to get it.) You can make up your own bingo lingo terms if you like and there are many variations used, making it quite impossible to include all bingo hall lingo here.

It’s also quite simple to understand that other bingo terms are based upon the number’s shape. For example 2 looks like a swan’s neck, which means 22 is “Two Little Ducks.”  This would also explain that 88 is “Two fat ladies” because an 8 looks like a fat lady. Furthermore, 7 is a little or little crutch, 3 represents a flea and so on.

The mixing of 2 numbers will bring you to terms like 87 – “Fat Lady on Crutches“! A couple of other bingo terms have the same number shapes at their root.  These are a bit more difficult to get as you just need to know what they are and work backwards, for example, 88 is “Wobbly Wobbly,” which is derived from “Two Fat Ladies”…geddit?

Others need more explanation:

Nine stands for Doctor’s Orders, something reminiscent of the Army days. A pill known as Number nine was a laxative prescribed by army doctors.

Ten stands for Tony’s Den.  This bingo term changes depending on the current British Prime Minister. Number ten Downing Street is the usual residence of The British Prime Minister, and is referred to as “Number 10″ in the UK, hence the easy association.

Seventeen stands for Dancing Queen.  Come on, you must know the classic ABBA Song: Dancing Queen. “You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen”  Ahem.

Twenty-three stands for The Lord Is My shepherd.  Christians should remember that this verse refers to the Bible’s Psalm 23.

Twenty-six stands for Bed and Breakfast. The conventional price of British Bed & Breakfast was 2 shillings and 6 pence, which was usually shortened to “2 and 6″.
