Since announcing its launch Bingo Hideout have given ITV's Bingo Night Live a couple of weeks to settle into the new format before reviewing it. We like to be fair at Bingo Hideout and since we believe this new way to play has huge potential and could - with the right audience share - make the move onto prime time telly we have held back. Unlike other sites that were quick to judge and jumped on the slightest failing of the first few shows, we wanted to be able to give this fledgling project a chance.

The ITV show Bingo Night Live is hosted by Melinda Messenger and Micheal Underwood and is presented in a glitzy and fresh format, which these presenters suit to a tee. The main concept behind the programme is it's simply an entertaining way to spend time and, since you can play for free, that's a winning format for all players.
