In the email from virtue affiliates it stated the following -

As a result of the Bingo Chest closure, Virtue Affiliates will also be closing down. Affiliate access through virtueaffiliates will be permitted until the 14th October for any reconciliation of September revenues. After this date the Virtue Affiliates homepage will also be taken down.

Talk about giving us loads of notice – I think not .

Bingo Chest launched on the net on 12th December 2008, so they have not quite made it 3 years in the online bingo arena. They just never seemed to hit it off, we don’t know why, lack of interest and promotions by the site owners could be one of the reasons, as they just never seemed to have much going on.

So it was inevitable really that they were going to bite the bingo dust at some point and this does seem to have come sooner rather than later.

There are now over 300 different bingo sites on the net to select from, but we have also seen a fair few of them close down over the years also. This is not good for them, you or us.

It is very rare to come across a bingo site that offers online bingo games only, as the game of online bingo now basically brings you the best of both gaming worlds combined as one. With this in mind we decided to take a look at just what mini style games Bingo Chest have on offer for their members.

Clover Rollover Progressive Slot – Clover Rollover is a five reel, five line slot with a progressive jackpot. This jackpot is initially funded at £10,000 and each day at around midnight it increases based on stakes for the previous day. To qualify for the progressive jackpot, you must stake max bet (£1) on any one line or more to be eligible to win on that particular line or more.

Pet Luck Progressive Slot – Pet Luck is a five reel, five line slot with a progressive jackpot. This jackpot is initially funded at £10,000 and each day at around midnight it increases based on stakes for the previous day. If five Dog symbols line up on any enabled line, you win a percentage of the progressive jackpot amount as follows.

Cleopatra’s Chest Progressive Slot – Cleopatra’s Chest is a five reel, fifteen line slot with a progressive jackpot. This jackpot is initially funded at £10,000 and each day at around midnight it increases based on stakes for the previous day. If five Cleopatra symbols line up on any enabled line, you win a percentage of the progressive jackpot amount as follows.

Pirate Plunder Progressive Slot – Pirate Plunder is a five reel, fifteen line slot with a progressive jackpot. To qualify for the full progressive jackpot amount, you must stake max bet (£1) on any one line or more to be eligible to win. If you place a stake amount below £1 on any line you qualify for a percentage of the full progressive jackpot amount.

So basically a first deposit of no more than £20 should be made at their bingo site, as the top bonus awarded to you will be given on this amount of cash (£40). This in turn would see you get £60 worth of online bingo play for your £20 deposit. If you were to make a first deposit of £10, then Bingo Chest would credit your account with a free £20 bonus, giving you £30 to play with.

These are the only deposit bonuses offered at Bingo Chest, but when you think about it, as they basically do away with any wagering requirements when playing at their bingo site, it really is not that bad not to receive a deposit bonus on all deposits made.
