PlayNow.com is here to make the social distancing much more exciting for everyone interested in online gaming, as they have more time for it now. Bingo gaming is here to bring a hint of nostalgia and special promotions available for all players ready to give it a try. There are also thematic offerings linked to the Easter celebrations that made this weekend a special one.
The special offerings are available for the individuals that have registered online. Every individual of legal age is able to register on the modern online platform and ensure that their gaming activities are protected by the existing regulations. British Columbia Lottery Corporation encourages players to engage in legal online gaming only, as this protects their rights.
Fresh Gaming Offerings
The registration itself is a simplified one, as the players have to enter their personal details while also picking the welcome bonus they are willing to utilize once they enter the platform. There are four options available ranging from bonuses for casino, live casino, lottery, and sports gaming. Those are incentives for making their way online and spending some time with the diverse gaming portfolio.
One of the popular bingo promotions right now is the community bingo jackpot giving more chance of winning a pile of cash while bingo gaming. Players have the chance to engage in it in the Suite 75 room. The progressive jackpot in question starts at CA$500 inviting players to give it a try. It should be taken into account that it is up for grabs every day between 3 p.m. and 2 p.m. PT.
It is being triggered when someone wins the EMERAUDE prize and it means that 75 individuals without a prize might bag an equal portion of the progressive jackpot as a consolation prize. Players across British Columbia and Manitoba have the chance to participate in this promotion on a daily basis. This promotion has been an ongoing one since the fall of 2018.
