If someone asked you how to play bingo in your local bingo hall then you could explain in about 5 minutes or so? Well online bingo is just as simple, if not more so. There are minor variations between online bingo sites but the basic game play doesn’t vary.
First step is buying the tickets, on most sites there is a buy now button clearly shown, click that and it takes you to the purchase page. You will then see the options min, 6, 12, 24, max. There will also be an amount showing the price per ticket, simply click the amount of tickets you want to play, the screen should then show a Total Cost, if you’re happy with this then click “Buy Now”. You have now bought your first lot of tickets (well I did say it was easy!)
When the game starts your screen will show your tickets, most sites only show the top 6 or 12 tickets, these are the ones with the least numbers required for the next prize and will change automatically as the numbers are checked off. The numbers are marked on the card automatically as they are called out, on some sites there are option to change the colour or style of marking or even the option to mark cards manually. You will notice that the band around each ticket changes as you knock more numbers off and it may say 3 to go or even 3TG when you get down to 3. On some sites when you get down to 1 number the card will gently flash.
When a card has won the site stops the game, if it is one of your cards then firstly well done! It is not possible to miss a prize as the game claims automatically for you even if you are manually marking numbers so no need to worry if you have to go away from your pc mid-game or are even disconnected. The winner(s) username will flash up on the screen and then game will move on to the next prize. In most 90 bingo games there are 3 prizes: 1 line, 2 lines and full house. The 75 ball bingo games are slightly different as there is generally 1 prize per game which is won by completing the pattern shown, again the cards are marked and prizes claimed automatically.
If a game has a Jackpot prize which is awarded only by calling house in less than a certain amount of numbers then this will also be claimed automatically, these prizes sometimes get to very large amounts and are worth looking out for, the amount of numbers needed is increased gradually so it becomes more likely to be won as time passes.
All winnings are added to your account automatically and usually appear on your balance instantly.
