The free bingo games that some sites offer are being tightened up on sites that had no restrictions as to who could get the free games. Many of the free game sites are using a combination of free games and the initial deposit as their attraction. Many sites have found that the free game players were not following through and becoming active players with their own money As soon as the free money games ran out, the players were no where to be seen as far as that site was concerned. This trend may cut down the free play in the future, as this promotion was not working like many sites thought it would. Unless the players continue to play on real bingo games, the promotion did nothing but increase player count for a short period of time.
