European bingo championships
In June 2009 Paddy Power launched its second European Bingo Championship. Players got an opportunity to win a place in the final every week in June 2009 by playing bingo on the Paddy Power Bingo website.
Winners of bingo games during this time were allocated points per bingo game. By the end of each week all points were totalled up and the top ten scoring players were entered into the grand final which took place at 8pm on 4th July 2009.
The final took place in a Ruby Room on the website where ten games of 90 ball bingo were played. Points were awarded for games won and by the end of the games the players with the twenty best scores were given prizes.
The players in 11th – 20th place were given free bingo for a year and players in 6th – 10th place were given UK and Ireland weekend breaks courtesy of Marriott. Players in 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th place were given European trips of their choice with various levels of luxury. The winner was given a 5 star European trip of their choice worth £2,500.
To encourage new members to participate in the tournament, Paddy Power offered a £30 no deposit bonus on registration to use for bingo cards during the event.
Paddy Power online bingo, launched by the Irish bookmaker, was first launched in 2008. The company re-launched its website on the Virtue Fusion network with more rooms, jackpots, cash and prizes.
