Foxy bingo made 2008 theirs!!

2008 was an amazingly eventful year for Foxy Bingo! They opted to change their fox character, parted company with Jordan as the face of their company, replaced her with Jeremy Kyle, offered free bingo then went back on the idea, went on a cruise and even paid out £50,000 to a bingo winner after a glitch in their software wrongly informed a person they had scooped a £50,000 prize when it should have only been £500. Lastly they featured on the list of most recognised TV adverts and remain one of the UK’s most popular bingo sites.

The year started with change as Foxy bingo decided to drop their celebrity endorsement of the glamour model Jordan and altered their marketing focal point to their newly modified Foxy character, who now has swagger and style about him.

As well as a fresh TV ad campaign, featuring Sister Sledge and a huge crowd, Foxy bingo also became the proud sponsor of The Jeremy Kyle Show and Guilty Pleasures.
In June 2008 Foxy bingo celebrated their 3rd birthday and to celebrate offered all players the chance to win a brand spanking new car. However, all the media exposure and promotions meant that Foxy bingo had to say goodbye to the £10 no deposit bonus which was previously offered to all new players.

However it wasn’t the last time we would see free bingo at Foxy as they ran the occasional free bingo week, which proved to be extremely popular! It wouldn’t surprise me if free bingo was to return in the near future as its popularity was clear for all to see.

In May 2008 Foxy Bingo paid out a stunning £50,000 in cash due to a backend error where a £500 coverall game was advertised as a £50,000 jackpot game. The winner tracey1801 was the lucky winner and Foxy despite it being an error – paid the full amount which had a hugely beneficial effect on their reputation.

During 2008 Foxy bingo were at the forefront of all moves made within the industry and set trends that were following by a host of other online bingo halls. Features such as; prize bingo games, guaranteed jackpots, car competitions, TV sponsorships/ad campaigns, site re-vamps, bingo radio and player bonuses were all copied within some capacity during 2008.

Foxy bingo still has loads to offer players in terms of prizes, bonuses and a first class bingo experience, so if you would like get involved click here, alternatively to find out more check out our Foxy bingo review
