How To Play Bingo

Many new players take a while to learn how to play bingo, but as the rules and games become more familiar, playing gets easier and in no time you’ll be winning bingo like a pro! To help you get on your way to becoming a great bingo player, we have compiled a handy ‘how to’ manual, with everything you need to know about the game.

1. Getting Started
First things first, to start playing bingo you need to complete a simple registration form. This will usually have basic information such as log-in name, password, username and address details. If you are playing a download bingo game, you would also need to download the software. This generally takes just a few minutes, and step by step instruction should be found at your chosen site.

2. Funding Your Account
Once you have joined your site and gotten the basics done, you will need to fund your account so that you can buy cards to play the games. This is done via the cashier, which can be found either when you are in the game room, or on the member’s page of the site. There are a number of payment options you can choose, from debit card to NETeller or direct transfer. Simply follow the steps given to you, and if you have any questions, ask a CM or a support staff member.

3. Buying Cards
Once you have funded your account and you are ready to start playing, you will need to purchase online bingo cards. This is done when you are in the game, by clicking the ‘buy cards’ button. Bingo sites vary, but most sites have a few different options to choose from, for example you can buy anything from one to 20 cards, at varying prices from 1p to £1, depending on the game being played. You can choose to schedule games ahead of time, or you can buy for each game as you go along.

4. Playing the Game
Once you have bought your cards, the countdown will begin for the game to start. You do not need to worry about marking your cards as the system does this automatically, but you can choose to daub your cards to add to the fun. As each ball is shown, it appears on the number board, and then it is marked on your card.

5. Winning Bingo
If you are playing 75-ball bingo, the game is won if you mark all numbers in the pattern displayed. If you are playing 90-ball bingo, you have three chances to win – the online line jackpot, the two line jackpot and the full house jackpot. The first player to mark off all their numbers wins the game.
