Online bingo has attracted the interest of many companies that have never actually run a bingo hall before, and one of the most notable is Sir Richard Branson's Virgin empire. Virgin Bingo was launched in the UK in 2005, and has proved to be an instantly popular site. It has been carefully designed to appeal to younger (18+) bingo players, and the The Virgin Bingo site is very stylish, more so than any other bingo website we've seen. Signing up is simple and Virgin Bingo also offers various bonuses. Once you sign up, you will receive a free pound to play with (which can get you up to ten games of bingo), and Virgin Bingo will match your first cash deposit up to £125 - so the more you deposit, the more free money you get to play with!

Virgin Bingo offers a very diverse range of games. There are two bingo halls on the Virgin Bingo website - a 10p bingo room and a 25p one, which is open in the evening. Virgin bingo uses the same Parlay bingo software as the Chitchat and Bingos.co.uk Bingo websites, and the same gaming network as Chitchat and a couple of others - which means that the games are basically the same as on the Chitchat bingo site.

But the look of the Virgin Bingo site is totally different. It is laid out in a different, and we think better, way to other sites that use Parlay bingo software, but the colours are quite pale, and it can be a bit harder to keep an eye on the numbers board graphic because of that. The bingo caller is the same gentleman who is found on the Chitchat Bingo website.

As with other bingo websites, Virgin bingo has chatrooms, and these frequently have special guest celebrity chatters - at the time of writing, Peter Andre was to be their next guest! Jodie Marsh and Lady Isabella Hervey have also popped in to chat and try online bingo!
