Online bingo tournaments offer an excellent way to win cash, a bonus or a combination of cash and bonuses, simply by playing bingo. The tournaments are usually held over a specific time frame, such as a weekend or even over a month.

Players need to either enter the tournament to be eligible to play in these games, or they simply need to play during the set times to qualify. During the tournament, players then need to play and win as many games as they can during the time frame, and at the end of the tournament all wins are tallied up and winners will be chosen from first to tenth place, with varying prizes for each place.

A fun variation of bingo tournaments is the monthly Team Bingo tournaments held at Bingo Gringo. This tournament runs each and every month, and to enter, online bingo players need to form teams of four and register their team name and members’ names to the bingo manager. Every time any player in that team wins bingo on the special ‘T’ pattern, their win is added to their team total, the leader board is updated regularly so that teams can see who is in the lead.

At the end of the month, the winning team wins a massive 1,000,000pts in bonuses! Second place winners receive 520,000pts, while third place winners win 200,000pts. Fourth to tenth placed winners receive 40,000pts. The prizes are split between all four team members.

Another fun tournament is the weekly Pirates Booty tourney at Bingo Liner. This tournament is held every weekend, from Friday to Sunday, and players can earn points for every wager they make on bingo or slots games during the weekend. The winning player will receive £30, second place winner will receive £20 and third place winner will receive £10.

This is over and beyond any winnings players make during the games they play, which makes tournaments a great way to win extra prizes – by simply playing bingo. For an easy way to win every time you play bingo games, look out for bingo tournaments at your favourite site.
