As we are currently in the midst of a recession, bingo sites are recognising the need to offer bingo players a bingo alternative to suit their budget and are starting to offer many promotions that will appeal to players but won’t break the bank.

So let’s take a look at some of the bargain basement promotions that are currently on offer at some of the online bingo sites.
