EVERYTHING about How to Play Online Bingo

(err, maybe )

I have set myself the goal here of telling you everything you need to know to be successful when you play bingo online. People said, “Jackpot Jane, no! Don’t do it! It’s impossible.” But when I decide to do something not even a bull in a china shop can stop me .

First you will find a section for new players with easy to follow details about how to get started and this is followed by another on how to win bingo online that I hope will interest everyone.

Info for New Online Bingo Players

Let’s assume you have managed to find your way to a few online bingo sites already. Some might have looked quite similar because they use the same skin – skin play sites are very common. These are the kinds of things you might have seen:

• Bingo cards (tickets): these are what you need to play bingo online. You will find most sites offer 90-ball bingo, 75-ball and sometimes 80-ball bingo. The important thing is that, unlike games played in bingo halls, with internet bingo games the numbers on your cards get marked off automatically. This means there is less skill involved (and more time for chatting!) – you don’t need to call “BINGO!” either – the bingo site’s computer will do that for you (wouldn’t it be nice if you could record your voice shouting it!).
• Ticket price: this can as little as 1p and usually not more than a couple of quid. Some online bingo games are completely free! On the whole the more the ticket costs the bigger the potential onlinebingo win. It’s a little more complicated than this though when you play online bingo for money, see below.
• Ticket Purchase: You can purchase bingo tickets as you play or sometimes in advance. Advance ticket purchase is useful if you want to avoid missing special promotional bingo games. Good sites will offer you some kind of purchase history to see what games you have played and won: it’s a good idea to keep track of how much you win online bingo.

You can purchase several tickets per game and this will increase your chances of winning. On the whole, if people buy more tickets people buy the bingo jackpot gets bigger too. However, buying tickets costs money (most of the time), and the jackpot will (almost) always be less than the total money invested by players. In the end it’s up to you to decide how much excitement you can take and how much you want to pay for it!

Note: Online bingo websites do not let you roll over the same ticket from one game to the next since tickets are automatically generated by the system to ensure that everyone’s chance of winning is identical. I’ve got to say I think this is a good thing – one of the ways people can get too carried away with their gambling is when they insist on playing the same number every time. With this strategy you can never miss a game for fear your number will come up – better to have your numbers changed each time you play bingo online.

Win Bingo Online!

Like I say, you might win more often if you buy loads of tickets for each online bingo game you play but you will also spend a load more money as you do so . Boo hoo! And because the computer is automatically marking off the numbers on your cards as they are called you can’t use your super splendid marking off skills to increase your online bingo winnings either. What this means is that you have to be a bit more cunning, or just forget about winning and enjoy yourself .

There are two ways that you can slightly improve the amount you are likely to win. This is subtle so apologies if you weren’t looking for subtle or it’s too early in the day for you …

1. Play cheap bingo games online with big bingo jackpots and small numbers of players. Sounds easy? It isn’t, trust me. But if you can make it work for you, all power with you honey. The idea is that if you manage to win the jackpot at least you are unlikely to have to share it.
2. Internet bingo computers are big and designed to be random but no computer can ever be completely random. Find a computer geek near you and pay him or her to build you a bigger computer that can predict what numbers will come up next. Choose which games to play accordingly.

Neither of these sounds that great, does it ? This could be seen as a good thing – if you play online bingo for money you are not going to find yourself being beaten by other players with special secret bingo machines in their basements. This online bingo playing field is as level as the strictly ballroom dance floor!

The option that most people go for in order to maximise their online bingo cash winnings is to play at the sites with the best online bingo bonuses and the most attractive loyalty schemes.
