Whilst The UK is in the midst of a recession and credit crunch, there’s one online sector battling like mad to giveaway freebies – and that’s bingo! You can find out all the latest bingo news at Bingo Blog, but we thought we’d offer a mini guide to Freebieworld visitors so that they too can join in the free bingo fun.

Everyone knows about recycling old mobiles for cash but Speedsell have taken that concept a step further. They are willing to change your old computer games, consoles and even Apple Laptops into cold hard cash. If you’ve got an Playstation, Playstation 2 or a Nintendo 64, for example, and a bundle of games you could send them all off to Speedsell. They do take newer consoles too and games too.

The older the console, the less money you’ll get, but it might be better moving it on via Speedsell than say leaving it to gather dust in a cupboard!

So what kind of value can you expect?

A Playstation One in reasonable condition will get you just £3. That may not seem a good deal, but compare that to PS1 auctions on eBay and you’ll see that there are plenty of lots without bidders, even at just 99p!

A good condition PS3 40GB will get you just under £100 whilst an Xbox 360 Arcade is valued at a mere £36! Prices change regularly so why not try and search and see what your games or console is worth?

Computer game prices tend to be rock bottom. For old format games you’re really looking at just 20p a game so it’s not a lot of money. For recent format games (Xbox 360, PS2, PS3 etc) we actually suggest you first look at Play.com’s Marketplace. You sell the item at the price you want and then can either withdraw the money (if sold) or use it to buy items at Play.

The process at Speedsell is pretty straightforward though. You tell them what you have to sell, they’ll then send a courier to collect your stuff (it’s free if the value is over £25), and then you get paid within 4 days by cheque or Paypal (provided everything’s ok).

We think Speedsell is worth a look, especially if you’re struggling to move old consoles and games on or you can’t be bothered with the hassle of eBay or Marketplace selling. However do look around eBay and see whether items are moving and the value they’re selling at.

If you’ve used Speedsell then let us know your experiences. Or do you know of somewhere else that gives you cash for your old games and consoles?

How would you like a free fiver? If you join new scratchcard game site Hopa.com then they’ll happily give you a £5 no deposit bonus when you sign up. It will give you a chance to have a look at the site, try a few games and see whether you want to play for real.

The welcome bonus appears in your account as soon as you’ve signed up but note that the offer is limited to one per household. According to Hopa.com 1 in 3 scratchcards are winners but note that could mean you just get your money back like lottery scratchies!

If you’d prefer not to spend any money at all but fancy playing games for free then there are now three bingo sites that let you play for free and win real cash all day and every day! Cheey Bingo, Posh Bingo and new comer Costa Bingo all offer small jackpot games (£1 to £10) throughout the day. You can find more free bingo over on Loquax.

The downside to free bingo is you’ll be playing against a load of other players and if you do win you’ll need to deposit to take your cash out, but it’s free, fun and it will keep you occupied throughout the day! Give them and the free £5 scratchcard offer a try and let us know your experiences.

Whilst our MPs are under scrutiny about their expenses there’s one ministry where there’s a nice freebie offer that needs little investigating. Ministry of Deals is a new site that offers 4 deals a day for just 24 hours. One of those deals is a free software lucky dip and the only cost to you is postage and packing and that’s just £2 (or free if you choose another deal).

The free game will be for your PC and it could be a game, utility or security tool. It’s a shame that Ministry of Deals don’t provide a list of possible titles just to see if they’re really worth the £2 postage and packing.

All we have to go on at the moment is the images shown on the site. For example there’s a Postman Pat PC game – and that costs £4.99 from Amazon, whilst National Geographic Trivia Trek is £13.20. Of course it’s just a lucky dip and it may well be you end up with a security tool or utility that you could always put on eBay and see if you can make a few pence more from it?

If you do decide to take up this freebie offer let us know what you receive – and whether you think it’s a good offer or not!
