Congratulations to the following big winners and thank you for sharing your good news with us!

	goodgirl56 I have spent half the money on doing up an out house with a bedroom and ensuite bathroom for daughter and Iwill treat myself with the rest! Thank you very much GameVillage wooohooooo!!!!
	wobble Well what a shock! I was doing something else on the computer and collins shouted at me that I had won a PJ, I didn’t believe her. She took a screen shot as I had missed it. She had gifted me 10 games of 1 card and I joked that she was tight.  We have bought a little runaround car to use daily, our people carrier is expensive to run so going to keep it for when e have to take the kids anywhere. Thank you GameVillage.
	markie37 I couldn't believe I had won. It’s one of those things where you think 'that would be nice to win' but would never happen to me. I hadn’t been lucky for a while and suddenly in 24 hrs I had won £100 on 1p bingo, a top of the hour game and finally a PJ. I never usually log on in the morning but so glad I did! I'm getting an Ipod Touch for my other half, a new TV and the rest will be put away for a rainy day. Everyone at GV has been so nice congratulating me on my good fortune. I enjoy the community here as much as the playing.
	tazzey Well I was gobsmacked to win it, didn't quite realise I had as I was eating my Weetabix at the time! First thing I'm doing is buying 2 tickets to Hard Rock calling to see the Police on 28th June. I had tickets to see them last September as a  40th pressie from my hubby but he died 2 days before concert so I didn't get to go. He would have been upset I missed it so now I am redressing the balance. This is a picky of me and my hubby at same festival 2 yrs ago when we went to see Roger Waters play Dark side of the Moon live. Thank you!

Dear GameVillage thank you for my huge win! I was amazed. I have booked a holiday for myself and hubby and we are really looking forward to it. Didn’t bother to tell the kids cos they would all have wrote their begging letters by now! Once again thank you so much.

I couldn't believe it when my number came down, I was in total shock to the amount of money I had just won. It couldn't have come at a better time as I had given up work to help look after my son. I would just like to say a big thank you to everyone at game village and good luck all.

I would just like to say a big thank you for my win, I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw my balance, I was in shock!  But what really made it was the response from all the other players, all genuinely pleased for me. Thanks again all at GameVillage.

I couldn’t believe it! I only had 40p to my name, was waiting for 1p game when my name came up. I thought it was wrong because I had bad lag, so I asked Stuart if I had won and he said yes! I then asked how much and was gobsmacked!!! –I have never won anything like that before, so thank you GameVillage so much. I am going to try and spend it wisely, although I am going to a wedding at the end of the month and have to get a new outfit! I would like to thank all the villagers in chat, they were so kind, this is the best site online. I know I don’t talk much but I love watching the chat! Again thank you thank you thank you....

I was in forum entering the competitions at the last minute, I had prebought my 12 cards earlier in the month when I had won over £300 in a top of the day game with 12 cards which i bought in memory of my mam. Just as flicked back to bingo I noticed I needed 1 to go and then my name flashed! I just went woozy as my sons were talking me and I was trying not cry in front of the boys. I kept looking at the screen and looking at my balance bit it wasn’t really sinking in! I haven’t really decided what to spend the money on so we decided to put it away until we do and have small gifts now.  I  love all the people in chat who were genuinely pleased for me. Thank you Gamevillage!

I could not believe my eyes when I won the money. I was in tears! I am not a lucky person normally. When I woke up the next morning it was the first thing I checked, I thought i had been dreaming. Me my hubby and my little girl are going on holiday so we can enjoy it thanks to GameVillage!

Understanding the true value of online bingo!

Sometimes when others are winning big money and your account is slowly running empty it’s hard to imagine why you keep playing the game!
Many times when players are on a losing streak they either accept it or start to get mad and blame the site, sometimes they even tease the lucky winners about stealing all the prizes.
Everyone wants to win. But with 50-100 players buying for a game at any given time it’s hard to come up a bingo winner hour after hour.
We can’t stress enough that playing online bingo is first and foremost about the community experience and the ‘chance’ of winning. Bingo is the ultimate game to meet and stay connected to a diverse and fun bunch of people. Research shows many cases where players have cultivated potential lifelong friendships both in the games and in meeting each other in the ‘real’ world.
Having fun, sharing your stories and experiencing the group madness of a big jackpot game can’t be simply measured by who wins and who doesn’t.
For many players online bingo is not only a home away from home but also a place to forget your troubles. Some players in fact, are home bound due to illness or recovering from hospital stays and the activity of the chat rooms brings interest and involvement into their lives.
Bingo provides the ultimate daily pastime to keep you connected to others who share similar experiences which can actually feed your spirit as much as your bank account!
If you really want to win big money online – we suggest you take a poker or a black jack course and then head out to Vegas where the real cash is won!
The good news for everyone is that ‘Bingo’ is always in a state of change. Now that there are more competitors in the sector the pressure is on to be unique. GameVillage has more unique features than any other UK site out there today including Elimination Bingo, Dingo, the Virtual Village, Rewards, Player Gifting, RAF Progressive Jackpot and multi player SuperGems to name but a few.
It’s an exciting time ahead for this little game that is taking the online gaming world by storm! But for those of your reading this article, you have already found the best.

Summer Pudding
