Please be sure to take a good look at today's newsletter for exclusive information about the Australia Room and discover our brand new all-day events schedule which starts on Monday. We are very excited about it and hope you will be too!

Every January we like to open our fun Australian themed bingo room in the week leading up to Australia Day on 26th January. However, because of the devastating floods in Queensland, we were unsure whether or not to open the room this year.

The last thing we wanted to do was to be insensitive during such an awful tragedy.

However, we discussed the matter with players on our forum and facebook page, who have asked us to open the room with links to the official Queensland Flood Relief Appeal so that they can help and show their support for our Australian friends.

As a result, the Australia Room will open on Monday 17th January at 9.30am. Thank you to everyone who joined in the discussion and helped to shape this decision.

Starting on Monday 17th January, we will be launching our brand new events schedule. The new schedule will ensure there is always something to do from 9.00am all the way through 'til 1.00am every Monday to Saturday.*

Some events you may recognise, others are brand new, but all are lots of fun and combined will mean you always have a reason to visit and play, whatever the time of day!

Please scroll down to see a full list of the new schedule.
