They are not the most trusted or respected name in online gaming, but the Costa Rican-based Virtual group’s online promotional reference to the 911 Twin Towers may have crossed the line with many players.

While not a feature in the online bingo community, Virtual has gained for itself a solid reputation for questionable behaviour and gaming standards within the online gaming world at large. However, a web promotion by the company’s alter ego, one ‘Danny Virtual‘, has caused outrage amongst a fair cross section of the Internet. The cause: a promotion that seeks to capitalize on the 911 terrorist attacks in which players can take advantage of a “911% Twin Towering Total Bonus�!

This total lack of taste is an opportune reminder of the responsibility operators of online gaming, including online bingo halls, have in ensuring certain levels of decency are maintained. It’s not enough that Virtual are not considered the greatest examples our there of online gaming virtue, but it does bring home the point that we are, in a way , all responsible for our own actions.
