One of the most prominent figures at last weeks London affiliate conference was the cunning Foxy character from Foxy Bingo. Equipped with the full outfit of hands, tail and of course head of the bingo industries most famous fox he swaggered around collecting hugs from all his fans and well wishers.
Sadly when Foxy took off his head for some light refreshments an unruly attendee decided to take the head which has now prompted the site to offer a reward for its safe return. Foxy Bingo has offered £500 reward which has stimulated rivals to offer £1000 – a bidding war for the most famous character in bingo has begun.
The day after the theft we caught up with Aliz and the gentleman who was playing Foxy, he was no longer in the foxes costume but a huge green bingo ball instead – thankfully he was still smiling despite it” weighing a tonne”.
This is not the first time rival brands have clashed, last year a cardboard cut out was taken for ransom – whether a kidnap note has been sent is unknown at this stage but we will be sure to keep you updated on developments.
