Online Bingo Games

There is no doubt that online bingo games have taken the world by storm, and with new sites opening every year and so many options to choose from, there has never been a better time to give this highly popular game a try.

There are plenty of sites to choose from (check out our handy reviews section for some of the best options) and each site offers a range of bingo games to choose from, adding to the fun. These include 90-ball and 75-ball bingo, as well as 80-ball bingo.

• 90-ball Bingo
This game is traditionally played across Europe and the UK, as well as Australia and New Zealand (where it is called Housie) and a few other areas. Games are played using tickets, which have three rows and nine columns. There are five numbers in each row, with a total of 15 random numbers from one to 90. Each game offers three jackpots: one line, two lines and Full House, with prizes ranging from a few quid to the huge Full House jackpot. One of the trademarks of 90-ball bingo is the fun rhyming slang that is used to call the numbers. These include calls such as Legs Eleven (11), Two Little Ducks (22) or Two Fat Ladies (88).

• 75-ball Bingo
75-ball games use online bingo cards which have 25 numbers in total. Cards have five columns featuring the letters B, I, N, G and O, and five rows. Each row contains five numbers from one to 75, with the first row starting with numbers between one and 15, the next row 15 to 30 and so on. Balls are marked with letters from B, I, N, G to O and numbers from 1 to 75, such as B12, I21, O70 and onwards. Cards are also marked with patterns, which players need to fill in order to win the prize. There is just one jackpot per game, which could be anything from a pound to a large prize.

• 80-ball Bingo
The 80-ball variation is somewhere between 75 and 90-ball games. Featuring 80 balls and cards that have 16 numbers with four across and four down, games are won by filling lines in different patterns. These could be one line across, down or horizontally or a Full House (all numbers on the card). These games are fun for those who enjoy some variety when they play bingo games.
