Should Irish people worry?
The Irish Times have reported a form of censorship against online gamblers by banks, who are apparently rejecting mortgage applications if statements show signs of gambling - which includes those of us who like to enjoy the odd fun evening with our bingo buddies playing a few games of online bingo.
Read the full article here in our online bingo news section.
What exactly does this mean for Irish online bingo players, is this a serious threat and something to be worried about?
No Irish bank has yet admitted that this is a full-blown policy, however it does appear to be becoming the rule of thumb according to the IMAF (see bingo news article). Tell-tale signs on your monthly bank statement that lead to an internet bingo site could mean that you might not be able to buy a home - at least with that bank.
In any mortgage application, banks need to determine the applicant’s ability to repay the loan. But why should they be concerned if you enjoy a few games of bingo every now and again. Why has online gambling become such a weighted factor in this process?
With 98% of the gambling population able to gamble responsibly, this surely indicates a responsible approach to life in general too, including the ability to repay debt, ie., bank loans and mortgages.
So if I lived in Ireland and played internet bingo regularly and was thinking of buying a house, I might be worried. On the other hand, how stupid would your bank be to deny you a mortgage just because of your online bingo hobby?!!!
Seriously, I don’t think it’s anything to panic about. To put it into perspective,
This does seem to be a bit OTT, even for Irish banks, but if I lived in Ireland and played internet bingo regularly AND wanted to buy a house I might be worried, but I seriously don’t think this is anything to panic about. So keep playing bingo games online and stuff the banks!

About a great bingo site - Moon Bingo!
Moon Bingo is one of those rare internet bingo sites that has a comparatively low profile, yet is incredibly popular among those in the know.
Moon Bingo has been around since 2003 and has built up a solid base of loyal online bingo players. Powered by the popular bingo software Globalcom, players at Moon Bingo get great performance with good graphics, top bingo games, and an easy to use interface.
There’s lots of yummy goodies on offer at Moon Bingo, including 20 free bingo cards on signup, plus 100% bonus on 1st deposit and 50% bonus on all reloads. So nothing too outstanding bonus-wise, but maybe that’s because their bingo games are top notch.
You’ll find daily progressive jackpot bingo games where you can treat yourself to both 75 ball and 90 ball bingo games, or have a quick spin on one of the many progressive slots in the instant games section. Plus things really hot up at the weekend, with a £1 Million Coverall bingo game every Friday night with a guaranteed £1500 min. jackpot.
In my experience, when you find a good online bingo site, you stick with it. And I think this is where Moon Bingo has come up trumps. It’s pretty obvious that the folks at Moon Bingo treat their members really well, and that bingo fans flock there to simply enjoy the bingo fun and games. Well done to all you guys and gals at Moon Bingo!
