The Game

If you don’t know already, bingo is simplicity itself. A caller calls out random numbers and if the called number is on your bingo ticket / card you cross it off ( at online bingo sites you can either do this yourself or select “auto dab” and let the bingo software do it for you).

Ok so how do I win? Prior to the beginning of the game the caller will announce the winning objective, in 90 ball bingo game it will be firstly be a “line” where the first player to cross off each number on any horizontal line is the winner of the first section of the game, the next part of the game  is won by the first player to complete 2 horizontal lines, and finally the game concludes when a player has crossed off all of the numbers on their card this is known as a “full house”.

Another form of bingo game is “Pattern games” where the objective is to cross off the numbers  on your bingo card that matches a pattern which will be shown to you before the game begins, so for example if you are shown a picture of a bingo ticket with the top, sides and bottom line covered, the winner will be the first player to cross off the numbers on their card in this pattern.

Begin playing:

Generally all sites have several bingo rooms and each room has different bingo card prices ranging from 1p to £5 per card. The max number of cards you can purchase varies from site to site.

Select the number of books you require and wait for the game to begin!

Playing tips

If the numbers are coming in fits and starts, you may find it hard to keep up. At  most sites, you can do a quick spot-check by clicking with your mouse on open squares. If a square has been called, it will register as a daub, useful should you need to answer a call of nature.

Most sites have an "auto daub" option to bring called numbers to your attention.

A false bingo call (clicking the bingo button at the wrong time) is frowned upon and slows down the game. Players who have too many false bingos in a day might be penalized.

Side Games

Most online bingo rooms have side games for you to play between bingo games, usually you can find slots and mini casino games for you to enjoy.

Online bingo chat:

For some this is more fun than the bingo itself, most bingo chat is moderated by a CM which stands for “chat moderator or  manager” their role is to stop things getting too heated, and stamp out any abusive or bad language (Bingo and it’s followers being the passionate things they are) .

Bingo chat follows the conventions of all online chat and texting although some abbreviations are unique to online bingo, for a full listing of bingo chat abbreviations and their meanings see our bingo speak dictionary.
