Betfred Bingo TV Ads
Betfred Bingo certainly has advertised on TV and over the years their marketing has taken many different forms.
Their 2009 campaign saw Stuart Hall, the host of It’s A Knockout, crawl out of a laptop to promote the brand. Needless to say that following his conviction in 2013, he no longer promotes Betfred.
What was unusual about that commercial was that it was the lady who left the house for a night out whilst the man stayed in and played bingo!
A 70’s game show was the storyboard for another commercial and it featured Fred Done, one of the founders of Betfred. It’s probably one of the better adverts for this brand, but not the most recent:

Summary
Betfred Bingo doesn’t let the brand name down in what it has to offer the discerning player and considering the name is one well-known in the gaming industry, it had high expectations to meet. It’s got a 4.5 from us because of its impressive range of games, responsive software, and the overall gaming experience offered.
