Its not the most conventional way to raise money for charity, getting all your employees to jump out of an airplane, but Mecca Bingo is hoping their latest effort will do the trick but I dont think theyll play bingo on the way down.
Mecca workers from across the country are taking part in the effort and are quite literally putting their lives on the line in the name of charity. It may sound like a strange idea but the company is already seeing positive results because of the generosity of many bingo players as well as friends and families of the employees taking the dive.
Weve been holding a number of fund raising events over the past months and this is probably one of the most exciting and certainly the most nerve-racking, said Mike Travis, a worker for the Mecca Bingo in Blackpool, who is taking part in the charity event. Colleagues, club members, friends and family have all been extremely generous so far with their donations.
Their goal is to raise 250,000 over the course of the year, which is a rather large goal, but seems to be reasonable compared to their recent results especially considering how many people in the UK play bingo.
The funds raised for the sky diving event will go to support a childrens mobility charity, Whizz-Kidz, and has already managed to generate a large amount of 100,000. Mecca Bingo is also putting on many other charity events throughout the year in support of the charity. One of these events involves workers wearing rollerboots at the Mecca Bingo club in Blyth for a whole day I guess they just like putting their employees lives at risk for charity.
As our lives become more hectic and it seems were always on the go many online gambling casinos are providing a solution that is beginning to take the gambling world by storm. These new mobile applications allow users to play their favourite online casino games on their mobile handset, which provides the consumer with a convenient alternative to the sit-at-your-computer version of the game.
Not everyone is hot on the idea of being able to gamble on the go, but many are saying it will certainly be the way of the future. The new technology allows people to access online casino operators from just about anywhere in the world anywhere they can get a phone signal. This is all very exciting and should change the way we view online gambling.#
One of the companies heading this new technology offering is Spin3, which is now launching its second mobile casino. The success of their first mobile casino is a testament to the markets potential and the users appreciation for the technology.
Having launched two Fortune Lounge brands into the mobile casino market is yet another confirmation for us that our total mobile solutions are a great asset for companies looking to take the lions share of the mobile casino market, said Matti Zinder, head of Spin3.
If you cant seem to find the time to sit in front of you computer screen to play uk online casinos, then maybe this mobile solution is for you. It will probably make waiting at the airport a little more fun, and who knows you could end up winning a huge sum of money right from you phone.
With the Premier League back on our screens, the online sports betting bookmakers and doing their best to attract new punters for the coming season. Totesport is one such online bookie, who have come up with an interesting bet for those that think the Premier League may not go the favourites way this season.
Totesport, like most other online sports betting companies, are convinced that the title will be going to either Manchester Untied or Chelsea. As a result, they are offering odds of 3/1 to that any other team in the Premier League will lift the trophy come the end of the season. So for punters that are getting behind Liverpool and/or Arsenal, 3/1 will be tempting odds with the whole of the field to back them up.
Unsurprisingly a majority of the money is behind Manchester United and Chelsea, and Totesport have chalked up the either of the two teams to lift the title at just 2/7. There is some divided opinion on who exactly will be the winner, with some pundits suggesting it is Chelseas year after coming so close on so many fronts last season, and improving their squad since. Its a tough one to call, but one thing is for sure, more value is to be had by doing your sports betting online, as the bookmakers look to get you signed up ahead of the season.
