1. Why play bingo online?

Never has there been a better time to start playing bingo online! Thousands are doing it and there is stack loads of money to be won!

 

Pick the time when you want to play and from the comfort of your own home you can browse through the hundreds of sites on offer. And using a site like bigbingojackpots.co.uk means you can pick out the best offers on that day and the biggest jackpots. Check out Sam’s BingoMeter.

 

And if you think you’ll miss out on the chat by not making it down to your local bingo hall, think again. Every site has its own chat rooms, with loads of gossip and fun to be had. If you get stuck into a conversation you can’t tear yourself away from, don’t worry because playing online means you can always use the “autodaub” option, meaning your card gets marked off anyway and you can get on with your socialising.

 

Security is always one of those things people ask about when they’re online, but playing bingo really is safe. Bingo sites use really sophisticated software and well-recognised paying mechanisms like Paypal or Neteller. Plus your payment details are always carefully encrypted so you can relax and enjoy your game knowing everything is safe and secure.

 

Playing online is fast-paced and buzzy, with a great atmosphere and social network, so come on, get going!

2. How do I get started?

The first step is to register with a bingo site of your choice. You need to register before you can play, even if you are looking for a free game.

 

Registering means you have to give personal information such as your name, address and email and in some cases your payment details. You will also be asked for your player name and a password so you can log back into the site again and again.

3. How do I play?

The basic idea behind bingo is that you buy a card with a set of numbers on it laid out in a grid. This card is sometimes called a “ticket”. A bingo caller calls out numbers selected in a random order and if any of them are on your card you mark them off or “daub” them. The first person to mark off a certain pattern on their grid, e.g. a line, shouts Bingo. Once a spotter has confirmed that the numbers do indeed match they hand over the prize or jackpot.

4. What does it cost?

The cost of a ticket varies, but can be anything from 10p to £1. If you buy a more expensive ticket, the chances are the prize money is bigger.

 

Often people buy their tickets in sets of six. This is called a “strip”.

5. How do I deposit funds?

Once you are registered you will have the option of putting funds into your account so you can play for real money. Each site will have its own system but broadly speaking, look for the deposit button and follow the on screen prompts. If you did not give payment details when you registered you will be asked for this information now.

6. What if I win?

If you are a lucky winner then you can keep your winnings on your account and use them to play more games. Or you can ask for your winnings to be paid out. This is usually done either to your nominated payment card or via a cheque. There may be a minimum withdrawal amount so check with the bingo site you are with. There may also be restrictions on withdrawing funds from a bingo bonus (see below).

7. How do I choose a site?

Of course this is where bigbingojackpots.co.uk can help you out. We are constantly monitoring the latest jackpots as well as deposit and no deposit bonuses, so you can always find the best deal for the sort of game you are looking for.

 

You might also like to consider a few other factors:

 

Software – Some bingo sites require you to download their software before you can play. Whilst this takes a moment or two the games are often a bit more sophisticated. Choosing a site that does not ask you to download means you can play straightaway.

 

Community – Each bingo site has its own community for chat and blogs. Some are very busy, while others are a bit quieter. Use your no deposit bonuses to try a few different sites and see which one’s got the best atmosphere for you.

 

Other games – Bingo halls often offer games other than bingo. Some will have a Vegas Night where you can play more casino-type games. If you are interested in other games as well as bingo, then maybe check out a site which has these on offer.
