How to Play Bingo Online

Bingo is a social game. It’s meant to unite friends, make you laugh, compete and win money when lucky. So, why would you want to play the game online? In addition to increased convenience, online bingo is exciting, social and has high payout rates. It's also convenient because you don't need to leave your house to play the game. Online bingo jackpots are pretty big too. And there are plenty of bonuses to play your favourite game free of charge.

How does Online Bingo Work?

There are several types of online bingo as we’ll outline below. You select the game you want to play. Then you receive a corresponding virtual card—consist of a grid of numbers marked in columns and rows. When a game starts, a computer program spells out a set of numbers.

You then have to mark them on your virtual card—you can click each number using a mouse or tap the numbers if playing on a cell phone. Alternatively, you can let software mark the cards (daub) automatically.

Depending on the game, the objective is to have all the correct numbers in one column, row or any other pattern (called a full house). And get this—the first person to call out full house wins. In cases where two or more people win, they split the profits.

5 Popular Types of Online Bingo

Although there are many types of bingo online, some games appear in nearly every casino. Here’s how they work.

• 90-Ball Bingo

It’s the most famous bingo type online. It features virtual cards with three rows and nine columns—each line has four empty boxes and five numbers. In total, the labelled boxes feature numbers one through ninety (1-90). There are three ways to win at 90-ball bingo. You win if you mark all the called numbers in one row (one- line bingo). Also, you win if you mark all the numbers on two rows (two-line bingo). Lastly, it’s a full house is you mark all the numbers in all three rows.

• 80-Ball Bingo

In this game, virtual cards are labelled numbers one through 80 (1 to 80). They feature a 4x4 grid format and are coloured red, yellow, blue and white. Like 90-ball bingo, you win if you mark all the four numbers in one, two, three or all four rows.

• 75-Ball Bingo

This game comes with a 5x5 grid labelled numbers one to 75. It lets you win by covering numbers on different patterns—some 75-ball variations have up to 300 patterns. But generally speaking, many casinos have three patterns.

The first option: cover two one line, horizontally, vertically or diagonally. Option two: mark numbers in two diagonal lines to form an “X.” The third option is to cover all spots.

• 30-Ball Bingo

This is a fast-paced, fairly new version of bingo with a 3x3 grid labelled numbers one to thirty. That means each virtual card has nine numbers. But here's the most important part. There's only one way to win 30-ball bingo and it involves marking off all the nine numbers in your virtual card.

Which Online Bingo Sites should you Choose? Top Tips

With so many bingo sites out there, choosing the right casino can be confusing. Use these tips to discover the best bingo website for you.

• Available Bingo Types

Variety spices up gameplay. So, choose a casino that provides 90-ball, 75-ball, 80-ball, and 30-ball bingo games. Also, look for variations of these games. Some have huge bonuses. Others have friendly rules and different ways to win.

• Bonuses and Promotions

Playing bingo free of charge feels good. As such, look a website that gives you bonuses periodically and not just after you create an account. Look out for loyalty programs; reload bonuses, tournaments and VIP offers.

Crucially, read each casino’s bonus policies. Vitally, ensure you can meet all the required terms before you claim an offer. Otherwise, skip a bonus if it doesn’t promise the prospect of winning real money.

• Chat Rooms

As we mentioned earlier, bingo is a social game. As a result, find a casino with chat rooms through which you can interact with fellow players. There are always rules to be followed. And that makes bingo communities fun, friendly to everyone and free of negative vibes.

• Payment Methods

What's your favourite payment company? Find a casino that supports it. Or look for a site that supports a variety of banking methods so you have a lot of options.

At many casinos, you can use e-wallets like Skrill and PayPal, Visa and MasterCard, Bitcoin or Bank transfer.

The minimum you can deposit is £5 to £20 and the maximum amount varies from one payment provider to another. Still on payments, join a bingo site that processes payouts quickly—1 to 2 days.

• Customer Service

No matter which site you join, you’ll need customer assistance at some point. So, choose a website that provides reliable customer service. Preferably, join a company with a live chatbot, email and phone support.

• Security and Fairness
