The latest online bingo adverts doing the rounds on the telly are none other than those of Wink Bingo. So rapid is the growth rate of this website in the UK online bingo scenario, that they have even been sponsoring ITV’s popular All Star Family Fortunes show from the 13th of September!

Catch the awfully cute Wink Kittens in the commercials during All Star Family Fortunes sponsored by Wink Bingo, the fastest growing UK online bingo website. The first television ads for Wink Bingo aired last weekend, on Saturday night. This is the entry of yet another online bingo portal into TV sponsorship and into the daily lives of UK citizens. Online bingo is becoming increasingly popular and we can see the growing presence of Wink Bingo on the UK online bingo scene.

Wink Bingo is sponsoring this new star-studded version of the immensely popular game show, Family Fortunes (originally an American game show called Family Feud) from the 80s. Launched again in 2007 on ITV as All Star Family Fortunes, the game show was a great hit with British audiences. This year All Star Family Fortunes kicked in with Michelle Collins and Christopher Biggins and their families playing to win for their favourite charities with Wink Bingo as the sponsors for the rest of the season.  The star presence and the entertaining presenter Vernon Kay made for a fun family viewing.  Michelle and her family won a massive £30,000 for  the charity she was playing for! Wink Bingo invited a few lucky roomies to watch the filming of the show.

Watching the celebs and their families win on this new version of the old classic game show is really good fun and those kittens playing online bingo are nearly as entertaining, making you wonder how much those super-cute kittens are going to win! A very imaginative ad with great kitty characters, the ads are short but very memorable indeed. You can enjoy them through the entire season of the show. If you liked the kitty ads you can also see behind the scenes clips on the Wink Bingo website online. The website also has a quiz on Vernon Kay for players to receive 100k bonus points.

Wink Bingo has also upped the number of online bingo rooms in anticipation of the new players signing up after their ad campaigns. Each game type shows a couple of rooms with the Coming Soon sign to add to the excitement. These include a new £2k guaranteed jackpot, taking the total up to £20k! There isn’t any doubt where Wink Bingo is headed with online bingo turning into the new household craze.
