Tips for playing online bingo

  • Choose your game carefully: Decide what you want from your online bingo experience before you get started. If you’re mainly aiming for frequent wins so you can continue playing, quieter gaming rooms often reduce competition and boost your chances, though the prize money may be lower. For that single big win, busier rooms with bigger jackpots could be your best bet.


  • Choose your site carefully, too: With so many bingo sites to choose from these days, it’s more important than ever to pick the one that’s right for you. Before committing, do some research by reading user reviews on a respected, independent website like Bingoport. Check out wagering requirements and bonus structures before you give up any of your hard-earned cash. You may want to try out a few sites before sticking with one or two.


  • Purchase bingo tickets sensibly: When you first enter your bingo room, see who else is online and make your ticket purchases accordingly. If your eye is on a jackpot in a busier room, you may want to increase your chances by buying more tickets.


  • Be sensible: When it comes to online bingo, fun is of course the name of the game, and it’s essential that you enjoy playing. But, equally, it’s also important that you bet sensibly. Set yourself a limit on how much you are prepared to spend, and stick to it. Equally, show grace when your fellow players win – just as you would want them to celebrate your own success.


  • Understand bonuses: New customers are often attracted to online bingo sites with bonuses as well as free games. A No Deposit Bingo Bonus offers you bonus cash but you won’t have to pay anything upfront. A Bingo Deposit Bonus asks you for a deposit but increases the amount to give you the bonus. Do your homework to bag the best deals.


  • Be a bingo freebie: At least initially, you may want to play for free, and many sites let you do this. Experience the game without spending a penny and get a feel for how it all works without risking any of your hard-earned cash. (For cash prizes, however, you’ll need to go for a paying game.)


  • Join communities: Traditional bingo halls are sociable places, and online bingo has retained that interaction between players. Discuss your successes and share tips. Your fellow bingo fans may also tell you where the best deals are to be found. The community can be a deal-breaker when it comes to choosing a site. Moderators make sure chat is fun, friendly and safe.
