Online Bingo Bonus
Online bingo bonuses are a great part of playing online bingo. If used right players can sometimes even triple their money! But what exactly are bingo bonuses and how can players use them?
There are many different forms of online bingo bonuses. Basically, bingo bonuses are free money or credits players receive from the website. Players can receive these bonuses in cash or in bonus money.
A popular type of online bingo bonuses is the sign-up bonus. A sign-up bonus is when a player receives something in return for signing up at a specific website. Some sites offer free sign-up money. Others offer bonus money or credits to new players. Some sites even offer free bingo cards or play time instead of money.
Other common online bingo bonuses are deposit bonuses. Many websites offer bonuses on players’ deposits. These bonuses vary and can be anything from 50% to 200%. Deposit bonuses are not only to encourage players to deposit, but to give them something extra for their loyalty. By choosing the correct bingo website to play and deposit at, players can up to triple their money. If players deposit, for example, $100, at a site with a 200% deposit bonus, they will receive $200 extra! Some sites pay deposit bonuses in real money, others in bonus money.
A fun way of earning bingo bonuses is participating in online chat games. Many websites offer chat games where players can earn bonus money to play with. These games are usually lots of fun and anyone can play. Online chat games are probably the most liked form of online bingo bonuses.
When signing up at a bingo website, players should read the terms and conditions of that site to know the website’s policy regarding online bingo bonuses. At most websites players can use their bonuses to buy cards and to play the various side games. Players can even win real money with their bonuses! But most websites do not allow players to cash out or withdraw their bonus money, but players can withdraw their winnings they made from bonus money.
Online bingo bonuses can be used for everything players would use real money in the game. Players can buy cards and play side games with their online bingo bonuses. Finding a website that offers bonuses is really easy. All players have to do is keep their eyes open for special bonus offerings!
Friday Show Presented by Woodbine: Paulick Report’s Turkey Awards
So many turkeys. So little time.
With the Thanksgiving Day holiday upon, it's time to reflect on the many blessings we have in our lives. Family and friends. The roof over our heads. The food on our table. The dollars in our advance deposit wagering account.
At the Paulick Report, it's also when we recognize achievements by the horses, people and events that make our industry so interesting, engaging and, sometimes, infuriating. It's time for the occasionally annual Paulick Report Turkey Awards.
We had an abundance of candidates this year, all of which went through a careful screening process by a blue-ribbon committee that, in keeping with the spirit of the horse industry's lack of transparency, will go nameless. We won't divulge the process by which the Turkey Award winners were selected, either. After all, it's horse racing.
So without further ado, publisher Ray Paulick and bloodstock editor Joe Nevills bring you this year's Turkey Awards and offer our apologies in advance to both the winners and runners-up.
Happy Thanksgiving to all.
Watch this week's Friday Show, presented by Woodbine, below:

Secretariat’s Legacy Calendar To Benefit Old Friends, Among Other Charities
A new calendar honoring Secretariat features his legendary daughter Weekend Surprise and her descendants. The Secretariat's Legacy calendar is the continuation of a series originally celebrating the last living sons and daughters of Secretariat (“Secretariat's Living Legends”), but with only one son and one daughter left, it was time to make a transition.
While the theme has changed, the goal is the same – to celebrate Secretariat through his descendants and raise much-needed funds for equine charities. For the second straight year, the beneficiaries are Bright Futures Farm, Old Friends and Victory Alliance Ranch.
The calendar series launched in 2018 has raised more than $22,000 for charities through 2021. “Racing fans, especially Secretariat fans, have loved the Living Legends calendars, and I hope they will enjoy this new take on Secretariat's legacy through his important descendants,” says writer/photographer Patricia McQueen, whose creative project is part of her research work on Secretariat as a sire.
The 2022 calendar is all about Weekend Surprise, and she is featured on the cover and in the January spread. Secretariat's stakes-winning daughter was 1992 Kentucky Broodmare of the Year, and her important descendants included in the calendar are:
- Summer Squall, her son who won the 1990 Preakness Stakes;
- A.P. Indy, her 1992 Horse of the Year son who went on to elite status as a sire;
- Charismatic, the 1999 Horse of the Year by Summer Squall;
- Mineshaft, the 2003 Horse of the Year by A.P. Indy;
- Rags to Riches, A.P. Indy's champion daughter who won the 2007 Belmont Stakes;
- Bernardini, the 2006 champion 3-year-old colt by A.P. Indy;
- Honor Code, A.P. Indy's final champion, a member of his last crop;
- Tapit, A.P. Indy's grandson who is a legendary sire himself;
- California Chrome, a two-time Horse of the Year and great grandson of A.P. Indy; and
- Justify, the 2018 Triple Crown winner and great-great grandson of A.P. Indy (and Storm Cat).
As in previous calendars, the Tony Leonard Collection continues to generously support the series with a beautiful photo of Secretariat after the Preakness Stakes with Ron Turcotte aboard. Mr. Turcotte has kindly agreed to autograph a limited number of calendars to help raise even more funds.
As noted, all profits from the sale of the calendar are allocated to three worthy organizations: Bright Futures Farm, an equine rescue and sanctuary accredited by the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance; Old Friends, another TAA-accredited organization; and Victory Alliance Ranch, an equine rescue and sanctuary supporting veterans and special needs children.
The calendars are available for $25 each at www.SecretariatsLegacy.com. Free shipping within the U.S. is included. Everyone who orders a 2022 Secretariat's Legacy calendar will also receive a free four-page tribute to the “Last Secretariats,” who have all been included in the Living Legends series; only 33-year-old Border Run and 32-year-old Trusted Company remain.
