Firstly, I’d like to say thanks to all the new subscribers to our blog, I hope you find the information informative, and maybe sometimes fun! Its easy to subscribe, just sign up to receive our blog by RSS feed, or by e-mail from the top right of the home page.

I have had a few players from the UK asking about the time differences with the games from EST to GMT.  It can get a little confusing I know, so for the benefit of all, I have added time zones on the right side of the home page; for US players (currently Eastern Daylight Time) European players (Central European Time) and UK players (currently Greenwhich Mean Time).  I hope this helps a little when calculating the time differences around the globe.

This Sunday, 16th March sees the grand final of the Bingo World Championship, starting at 8pm EST.  There will be $10,000 to play for, and we wish all competitors a fun filled evening, and of course GL (Good Luck!). The winner will be announced here next week.

Players who enjoy our 90 ball bingo will be pleased to see our new ‘Perfect Lines’ bingo game. This will play from 12 noon to 5pm GMT, every 30 minutes, on 10p cards. The payout will be for each line i.e. £5 for one line, £5 for two lines, and £10 for a full house, so if you’re lucky there’s a possible £20 to win per game for just a 10p bingo card!

Also, our newly introduced ‘Friday Surprise’ bingo games in the 75 ball bingo hall proved so popular, we are going to keep them going every Friday through March, and if you still want more, we may continue this great bingo special through April too. Let us know what you think, you can contact us from the link in the Starlight Bingo Newsletter.  With Friday surprise there are two fantastic chances to win $250 in our ‘must go’ games, playing once at 8pm and once at 9pm EST, only on Friday. Some players have asked what ‘must go’ bingo games are.  To summarise, it means that the person who wins the bingo on that game, is guaranteed $250, regardless of how many players there are in the game, or how many cards have been bought.  Starlight Bingo loves to give you more!

Saint Patricks Day celebrations have already started in Ireland, and around the world, with the grand finale, the St Patricks Day parade taking place on Monday 17th March. We love the Irish, and so for those who are interested to learn more about the Irish Saint Patrick’s Day celebrations and culture, I found an interesting site for you to learn more, just click here, but don’t forget to come back to see how we are going to celebrate with the Irish!

We invite all bingo players to come and join us for the ‘luck of the Irish’ bingo games on Monday 17th March, from 2pm to 10pm EST.  There will be $50 pots, and a $2,500 Jackpot, with a new game every 45 minutes! And you don’t have to worry about choosing between playing your favourite Starlight Bingo games, or attending your local ‘Paddy’s Day’ celebrations, just remember to use your ‘auto buy’ bingo card option, and ‘bingo‘ you can have it all!!

I’ll finish off with a little humour, here’s an Irish bingo joke sent in by Starlight Bingo player ‘mystic’, please note that no offence is meant towards our Irish readers.

Paddy and Mick were playing at thier local bingo hall. 

Paddy kept looking over Mick’s shoulder and telling him when his numbers were being called.

Mick got annoyed and said, “Be Jesus Paddy, why don’t you fill in your own card?”

“I can’t” said Paddy, “It’s full”.

 Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you all!
 Lá Fhéile Pádraig Shona dhaoibh!
