Take a virtual tour at Wink Bingo

Bingostreet have invented the virtual online bingo tour - and we’ve now got three virtual bingo tours up on YouTube, one each for Wink Bingo, Posh Bingo and Cheeky Bingo - more to follow soon!

The powers that be behind the scenes at Bingostreet, thought that it might be a nice idea to provide a virtual tour of bingo sites, to accompany the many online bingo reviews that we already have on Bingostreet - which is mainly just text. Now the reviews really come to life!

I for one think it’s an excellent idea, and once you’ve taken a virtual tour of a bingo site you’re all clued up as to what it would be like to play bingo online there.

Take a well-known site like Wink Bingo for instance, but say you’ve never played there before and can’t be bothered to register. If you just want a quick peek inside to look at the quality and variety of bingo games on offer, simple, just click here for your very own private tour of this hot bingo site.

Initially none of these video bingo reviews have commentary, but I think we might be adding a simple voice-over at a later stage, just with a little bit of extra information for the viewers.

Do have a look at the video online bingo reviews and let us know what you think. If we do add some voiceovers later, what sort of information would you like to hear about while you watch the video?

We’d love to hear from you, and hope you enjoy the virtual bingo reviews!

New opportuniteies for blind bingo fans

I was extremely touched to hear some heartwarming news about a blind bingo fan in the USA who has been battling steadfastly to win the right to use audible bingo cards when she plays bingo.

51 year old Joanna Richardson hails from Rochester NY and is blind. A long-term bingo enthusiast, the only way she can comfortably play the bingo games at her local bingo hall is either with a companion, or by using audible bingo cards.

These special electronic bingo cards enable players to keep track of ball calls with the emission of beeps everytime a number can be daubed during a bingo game, and made playing bingo much easier for Joanna. However other bingo players complained about the noisy beeps and further use of the cards was disallowed by local bingo halls in her area, unless the cards were set to ’silent’ mode – an apparent contradiction in terms.

Joanna started campaigning against this decision and took the battle all the way to the NY Racing and Wagering Board, not letting up until victory was assured. She has now won the right to use her audible bingo cards wherever she plays bingo, and is happy to have won her battle.

“You have the control over the majority of what’s going on now” she said “You don’t feel like you’re throwing your money away. You know when you’re waiting and you know when you won. You can’t be cheated.” she was quoted saying.

Joanna can now set the card to make a beep when she has 1TG (one to go) or when she hits a bingo, which will allow her to play bingo again comfortable in the knowledge that she won’t miss out on a win (unless she falls asleep)!

What I found unsettling about this report was that apparently the entire issue appeared to have been caused by fellow bingo players, annoyed with the beeps emitted by the electronic bingo card. It just doesn’t seem to be in character of any bingo fan, whether you play bingo online or in a traditional bingo hall, to exclude someone from playing bingo games for such a selfish issue. My words might sound strong, but how would you play bingo if you were blind?

So from across the ocean, my hearty congratulations to Joanna for the courage to stick to her convictions and score a victory for blind bingo players, bless her cotton socks! And a noisy ‘Booooo sucks’ to all those individuals who complained. Shame on you.

90 Ball versus 75 Ball

There are two types of bingo played around the world. North America plays 75-ball bingo on a 5x5 card with the center square usually marked 'free'. In the UK, parts of Europe, Australia and parts of South America they play a 90-ball game, marked on a 9x3 card. Both types of bingo are available online .

The desired pattern which players aim to achieve in 75 ball can vary dramatically, from a simple single line to more complicated themed patterns. The aim of the game, however, is always the same: to mark off the numbers to achieve the desired pattern. Speed Bingo is a variation played exactly the same, but numbers are simply called much quicker.

In 90-ball bingo, each card has three horizontal lines and nine columns. Each line contains five numbers, meaning each card has 15 numbers. The first column contains numbers from 1-10, the second column contains numbers from 11-20, the third column contains numbers from 21-30, all the way through to the final column which contains numbers from 81-90.

A game of 90 ball bingo will normally be played in three stages: one line, two lines and Full House. In a "one line" game players need to mark a complete horizontal line across one card (i.e., 5 numbers marked). The aim of a 'two lines' game is to complete any two marked lines horizontally across one card (i.e., 10 numbers marked). Finally a "Full House" means all the numbers marked off on one card (all 15 numbers), as in a regular coverall game. The prize split differs for each stage of the game. The Full House is always the largest prize in any one game.

Music and Bingo

Businessman has developed a brand new bingo game with a musical twist. Instead of numbers, songs can be called , bingo cards are filled with popular songs and when music comes up from the audio system, you need to mark it as it would be number. In place of numbers there are pop songs and these songs are called instead of traditional bingo numbers. Easy! And I hope it will be available as online bingo soon.

Online bingo and slots

Although the focus here at Bingostreet.com is mainly online bingo, what many bingo fans don’t realise is the sheer wealth of online slots included in their favourite online bingo software programs.

And we’re not just talking small 3 reel fruit machines, a lot of bingo sites sport a really decent collections of slots, super slots and multiline slots complete with hefty jackpots - good enough to compete with any online casino.

It was good to see that just yesterday Wink Bingo announced one of their latest bingo promotions, which for a nice change focuses on one of their popular multiline slot games, Sands of Fortune.

Sands of Fortune hides its splendours deep within the Wink Bingo software, but this is a proper online slot machine that could sit proudly in any online casino. Sporting a dramatic soundtrack that fits perfectly with the exciting and mysterious storyline about the hidden treasures deep in the tombs of ancient Egypt, this online bingo site slot machine pays out dramatically too, with a jackpot to the tune of £100,000.

Normally you’ll find the slot games neatly packed away in the Instant Games or Mini Games sections of online bingo sites, and if you haven’t had the chance to explore these extra slot games that are available to bingo fans, then I urge you to give them a spin!

Bingo and age

If you new to bingo and stick to same old stereotypes it is highest time to register to a bingo site. Internet has changed this game like it has changed lots of things. Nowadays bingo online is not only for white-haired ladies but for everyone. As soon as you push the "submit" button, you'll change your idea about bingo players age. Now the average bingo player's age is late 30s . I am sure bingo site's goal is to keep all players happy, no matter the age but it surly makes everyone satisfied if young people like online bingo.

Free keno challenge for online bingo fans

I for one am glad to see that Bingostreet is branching out into the world of online keno games, as it’s one of those games now freely available online and in the same family as bingo and lotto.

If you’ve never sat down and played a keno game, then now’s an ideal time to start. With the Bingostreet Free Keno game ready for action at anytime, you just need a few seconds to create your account and then you’re off.

As with online bingo, the game of keno is all about the balls. No balls? No keno! You get to pick your choice of numbers from the board, place your bet and then wait for the balls to pop in. The more balls you predict correctly, the more you win. Simple, and great fun too!

This week our friends at Gone Bingo are the sponsors for our Free Keno tournament, and there’s £155 in cash prizes to spend at Gone Bingo - yay! To enter the competition just register for a keno account and start playing. You’ve got until midnight GMT this Sunday to get into a Top 10 position to win a prize!

I think it’s a great way to try out a new game for free, and also boost your bingo budget at the same time - a great bargain! You’ll need to be a depositing player at Gone Bingo to receive your prize. If you’re not yet a member or you haven’t deposited yet, my first question is why not? 2nd question is don’t you realise that new players get £15 FREE plus a super-boosted 300% 1st deposit bonus! Not many online bingo sites go out that far for new bingo members, you heard it here first!

So do yourself a favour, give your keno skills a shot, and win some free cash to play some hot bingo games at Gone Bingo this week!

Sun Bingo are really revving up the hot bingo action of late, and although I don’t usually play bingo online at Sun Bingo, recently they’ve been coming up with some really cool bingo promotions that push my bingo buttons in all the right places!

One great advantage that Sun Bingo has is the sheer number and variety of internet bingo games plus extra games on hand. There is an awful lot to choose from which means us bingo players have a lot more freedom to decide what bingo games to play and when.

This week for instance there’s a chance to win a supercool £1000 jackpot every night at 9pm in the Sun Bingo 90 game - this special online bingo promotion is only on for one week, so I’d thoroughly advise you guys and gals to get down there ASAP and buy your bingo tickets now!

Should Irish people worry?

The Irish Times have reported a form of censorship against online gamblers by banks, who are apparently rejecting mortgage applications if statements show signs of gambling - which includes those of us who like to enjoy the odd fun evening with our bingo buddies playing a few games of online bingo.

Read the full article here in our online bingo news section.

What exactly does this mean for Irish online bingo players, is this a serious threat and something to be worried about?

No Irish bank has yet admitted that this is a full-blown policy, however it does appear to be becoming the rule of thumb according to the IMAF (see bingo news article). Tell-tale signs on your monthly bank statement that lead to an internet bingo site could mean that you might not be able to buy a home - at least with that bank.

In any mortgage application, banks need to determine the applicant’s ability to repay the loan. But why should they be concerned if you enjoy a few games of bingo every now and again. Why has online gambling become such a weighted factor in this process?

With 98% of the gambling population able to gamble responsibly, this surely indicates a responsible approach to life in general too, including the ability to repay debt, ie., bank loans and mortgages.

So if I lived in Ireland and played internet bingo regularly and was thinking of buying a house, I might be worried. On the other hand, how stupid would your bank be to deny you a mortgage just because of your online bingo hobby?!!!

Seriously, I don’t think it’s anything to panic about. To put it into perspective,

This does seem to be a bit OTT, even for Irish banks, but if I lived in Ireland and played internet bingo regularly AND wanted to buy a house I might be worried, but I seriously don’t think this is anything to panic about. So keep playing bingo games online and stuff the banks!

Plus things really hot up at the weekend, with a £1 Million Coverall bingo game every Friday night with a guaranteed £1500 min. jackpot.

In my experience, when you find a good online bingo site, you stick with it. And I think this is where Moon Bingo has come up trumps. It’s pretty obvious that the folks at Moon Bingo treat their members really well, and that bingo fans flock there to simply enjoy the bingo fun and games. Well done to all you guys and gals at Moon Bingo!

Penny Bingo games

Alongside free bingo games, penny bingo games are becoming very popular among online bingo UK fans, and almost every bingo site in town has at least one of these ’so cheap it’s almost free bingo games’ bubbling away on the pot.

There’s something delightful about playing a game of online bingo and spending a penny - ahem, not that kind of penny, you know what I mean!

But seriously, how much better can it get than penny bingo? You can easily afford penny bingo games, they don’t bring a huge deficit to your online bingo budget, and you can play bingo online merrily for hours on end at a time.

Of course penny bingo games don’t tend to offer mega jackpots, however there’s one particular game coming up this Friday I believe at Wink Bingo, where tickets cost just 1p a shot, and the penny bingo game jackpot is an incredible £2,000!

Work it out for yourselves, pay 1p for a bingo card to this game and you win £2,000 - that’s a return on your investment of 200,000%!!!!!

Of course most of the wise winkers will be buying more than 1 solo bingo ticket for this cool penny bingo game, but in the end it comes down to a combination of chance and lady luck and a whole lotta bingo balls!

So don’t miss the huge penny bingo game at Wink Bingo on Friday, could make history as the best investment ever!

Winkbingo launches exclusive play off between North and South to win a Mini Cooper

Wink Bingo is proud to announce that for the first time ever, two dedicated bingo fans will decide their own fate by choosing their own lucky numbers to take part in an online bingo 'play off' for a chance to speed off in a brand new Mini Cooper.

People will be able to log on to Winkbingo.com at 8:30pm on Sunday 22nd February to watch the North South divide as Joanna Kane from Werneth, Oldham in Lancashire and Christine Tulley from Toot Hill, Swindon in Wiltshire battle it out for a brand new set of wheels.

Joanna, 36 and mum of two, couldn't believe her luck when she was told she was one of the two joint winners out of 8,000 players who took part in Winkbingo.com's Mini Cooper bingo game on New Year's Day. "I've never won anything in my life," gushed Joanna, "luck just doesn't happen to me, but if I play with my lucky numbers 9 and 11 on Sunday, the day I passed my driving test and my kids' birthdays, I may be proven wrong!"

Joanna originally fell in love with Winkbingo.com last October and hasn't looked back. "Winkbingo.com gives me the perfect opportunity to take a break from work, house-hold chores and the kids," says Joanna, "especially since I can play in the comfort of my own living room. Winkbingo.com's chat hosts are really friendly and their individual games are great fun too, I've even made some great new friends."

Christine Tulley, 51, mum of two and grandma of three had been playing for six months - she was often on a winning streak winning a string of small prizes which really spurred her on to keep playing, so much so that she too became an overjoyed winner out of 8,000 players, in the New Years Day Mini Cooper game. I always believed that magic could happen to me at Winkbingo.com, says Christine, "let's just hope the tarot reader who gave me my lucky numbers, 1,7, 8, 17, 35 and 44 really is for real and I may just get to win the Mini Cooper in Sunday's game!"

Christine has been a fan of online bingo ever since she began working at the local bingo hall where she remained for 15 years. "It's expensive to go to bingo halls now though" says Christine, "and why bother when you can stay at home and have even more fun playing bingo online with Winkbingo.com? It's such a fun and friendly site and really easy to use too. I feel secure with Winkbingo.com and love the fact that I can chat so much to other bingo fans too."

Whether choosing to don their heels and coats to play their favourite game in bingo halls or choosing to relax in their pyjamas and slippers to play online, up until now bingo players have been given a card full of numbers and their chance of shouting "full house" has been left entirely to lady luck.

Maurice Karpes, Marketing Director at Winkbingo.com says, "The fact that we are allowing our two lucky players to choose their own numbers and play a part in their own fate makes our exclusive Mini Cooper game so exciting. We've also created a way for friends and family to watch so that they can offer their support, we're sure other bingo fans will be interested too - may the luckiest player win!"

Bingo and age

I have to be honest. Couple of years ago I associated bingo with grandma and her old friends going to the nearest bingo hall , have a cup of tea and playing hours , sharing new gossips. I have to admit that the change has came in this business too. Today bingo shows its new face and it is not only old bingo rooms but online bingo as well. Now you can play bingo even while you are shopping. Most games offer an automated option, so you do not even have to be home to get back your shopping money:)

Bingo Blog upgrade

Hi All,

It's a special day today!. I've just played with some settings of my blog and added some cool, new features such as the Online bingo news and Online Bingo promotions sections on the right.

Bingo horoscope

Did you know that the esteemed Russell Grant writes a specially commissioned Bingo Horoscope for Bingostreet.com every week?

If you’re like me, and never leave the house without checking your daily horoscope, you might want to take a peek at our Weekly Horoscope - as it is written specifically for people who play bingo online.

For example, if there’s a big bingo game coming up soon, such as the Wink Bingo £5K Club 90 ball bingo jackpot game today (Feb 5), then make sure to check your bingo horoscope to find out your lucky day and your lucky number for the week.

This can prove to be an invaluable aid when it comes to buying your bingo cards for the big game. Most bingo sites including Wink Bingo allow you to pre-purchase your bingo tickets, and you are always given a selection of bingo cards to choose from. So just look for those bingo cards with your lucky number of the week on, and if the big bingo game also falls on your lucky day, then it might just turn out to be a fantastic bingo win for you!

I’m a Gemini, and my Bingo Horoscope for this week says my lucky day to play bingo is Friday, and my lucky number is 12. So first I’ll be checking out the hot bingo action for Friday, and then I’ll buy as many bingo tickets as I can with the number 12, and also my birthday 17 - for extra luck!

My fave bingo site is Wink Bingo so I know that their £500 Risk Free Bingo Game is on every Friday (always love to play free bingo games), so that’ll be my first bingo stop of the night - and possibly the last, as Friday night’s at Wink Bingo are always pretty hot.

They also hold their regular Friday night £1,000,000 jackpot bingo game, so I’ll be sure to go for as many bingo tickets as I can afford in that great game. OK so I might just win the £1,000 guaranteed jackpot instead of the big 1 and 6x zero’s, but I’m not really fussed to be honest as I always have such a great time at Wink Bingo!

PS. If you don’t see me here next week, you’ll know for sure that Russell Grant’s Bingo Horoscope is spot on when it comes to online bingo!!!

RAF bingo programme

A great extra way to make money if you’re a fan of online bingo is to take advantage of the many Refer A Friend programmes, or RAF programmes, as they are also known.

Online bingo sites love to reward players for their loyalty in a variety of different ways, one of which is the ‘Refer a Friend’ bingo programme that you’ll find on most, if not all, bingo sites. Other rewards include deposit bonuses, bingo points or Bbz depending on which site you play bingo at, free bingo games, extra bingo promotions, and many other nice surprises. Refer A Friend programmes are just one of the many ways to get more out of your online bingo experience.

The basic principle of these Refer a Friend bingo programmes is the same – via the online bingo site you play at you simply enter the email addresses of friends who might be interested in playing bingo online, and the bingo site will send them a personalised invitation from you.

When your friend registers an account and starts playing for real money, you collect your reward – simple as that! This is the basic principle of being a bingo affiliate, and in fact many bingo affiliates started out exactly like this, by referring one or more of their friends to their fave bingo sites. If you have a lot of friends who are bingo fans, or who are open to new experiences, then you could easily end up earning a nice sum of cash or bingo points each month to more than cover your bingo budget.

One thing we would advise however, is to alert your friends before you submit their email addresses to the bingo site. Although we only promote legitimate and trustworthy sites on Bingostreet, some of your friends might not want you to give out their personal email address. So it’s worth checking with them first.

And finally, if you find that you enjoy referring your friends to your fave bingo site then you might want to consider the next step, which is becoming a bingo affiliate. For more information on how to do this, read our Bingo Affiliates section.

Online bingo guide

Are you new to playing bingo in a bingo hall or online bingo games? If you are you don’t need to feel any pressure before you actually play a game. There are many online bingo sites with special bingo guides to help you get set up, such as Wink Bingo. You simply purchase bingo cards online through the account you have set up and you and many other people will play the bingo game together.

Depending on how many people are signed on and what type of game you are playing, you can maximize your chances of winning by playing more than one card per bingo game. The cost of the bingo card varies upon the game being played but you can pay a little as 5 or 10p per card per game. 90 ball bingo cards are sold in strips and don’t look like a traditional bingo card. The 90 bingo game is very popular in the UK while 75 ball bingo game is more popular in the US. However you’ll find that most good online bingo UK sites offer both varieties of the game, 90 ball and 75 ball bingo, and even 80 ball bingo which is also called Speed Bingo.

As part of the online bingo guide you will be instructed about both games. In the 90 ball bingo game you will mark off the five numbers in the same row or line; if you do this before anyone else you have a bingo. However, in this game you can have a second winner. This is a person who marks off two lines but this still might not be the end of the bingo game as it can progress until all the numbers are marked off a single card. This winner generally takes home the biggest prize.

The 75 ball bingo game is played with a traditional card and you get a little more variety when playing. You can have such games as four corner bingo, bingo in the form of a cross and also in the shape of a letter or number, or any number of different patterns. If you like a little change while playing bingo you might want to consider 75 ball bingo. The pattern for each game is always revealed to you before the start of the bingo game.

You will also find out in any online bingo guide how to set up your account and log in password. Everyone must do this before they can begin to play. Many sites such as the one found at Wink Bingo give you a free £15 after you have become a member. This way you can play the game on them, and what a nice start to your online gaming. You can usually find chat rooms at your favourite site that allows you to communicate with others so this can also be part of your online bingo guide.

Online bingo deposit bonuses

The online bingo deposit bonus is one of the several benefits that you will receive for signing up with a particular bingo site. You will find that there are several different bonuses that are available to you. If you are new to playing online bingo you may not know what the online bingo deposit is at all. We will try to clarify this for you in this article.

When you start looking for a bingo game online you will find that they all offer some perks for you to join their online game. These can be in the form of free bingo games, reward points for joining their club or deposit bonuses. So that you understand all of the above information we will explain all of them for you.
The online sites we have found all offer you a free sign up bonus. These vary from site to site and the amounts are where the variation is. We found some that offer a sign up bingo bonus for a wee amount of £5 while others will offer up to £20. Other bingo sites might offer free bingo cards as an alternative. While it may seem like you would want to take the larger amount you may want to play a few different bingo sites to find out what the other benefits are. Sometimes the smaller bingo bonuses you’re welcomed with can hide a jewel of a bingo site.

The next bit of information is on the reward point programme. The sites all have clubs to join and they will give up points to redeem for different things. Sometimes it is for bingo cards or sometimes you can use them to play the bingo games. You can also get major reward points for referring a friend to their site.
Now we will get to the purpose of this article; the online deposit bonus. This is what you will receive from the site that you sign up with when you make your first monetary deposit. There again you have a wide range of percentages to sign on a particular bingo site with. These can vary from 100% to 300% for your first deposit.

So if you choose one with a 200% online bingo deposit bonus and you put in £10 they will put in an additional £20 for you. You have just gotten some free money. We found that if you sign up with several of the online bingo sites you will continue to receive online bingo deposit bonuses. A lot of bingo sites offer you 50% every time you make a further deposit, as long as you make the minimum deposit required. So now that you understand all the online bingo deposit bonus information have a great time, and good luck!

How to recognize an addiction to playing online bingo

Gambling addictions have been around for as long as the different types of gambling. Some individuals just have issues with playing the game for fun and leaving once they are out of money. It may be a negative topic to discuss, but it is relevant to the online bingo world. You don’t want to get in a situation where you owe a lot of money to various places and you can’t pay the debts off. This type of situation can sometimes have terrible consequences, your peace of mind, the increasing debt that you’re unable to pay off, losing the support of your familiy and friends, maybe even lose your house. We have a few things you might want to consider on the subject of bingo addiction.

We want you to be able to recognise the signs of bingo addiction to help you get help before it is too late. With a bingo addiction you tend to play bingo online at several intervals during the day and night. In fact you might lose sleep because you are playing bingo. You might play bingo at work, during hours where you should be finishing a project and doing the job you get paid for. Your credit cards may be maxed out from the cash withdrawals to bingo sites when you have a bingo addiction.

You might ignore the bingo addiction even though your family and friends are worried about you. When the bingo addiction gets out of hand you could lose your job for playing the game during working hours. You may start to miss work just so that you can play bingo. There are many indicators or signs that suggest you might have a bingo addiction and the vast majority of bingo sites are looking out for you.

Most online bingo sites have in place an estimation of how much you will play during the month, and will monitor you any time you seem to play more often or ask for a higher amount to be used during the month. These monitoring systems can’t get you the help you need for a bingo addiction, but it can help stave off the worst of the gambling debt a bingo addiction can get you in.

If you are worried you might have a bingo addiction talk to other players. Visit the chat rooms and ask if anyone has experienced some of the issues you have. By talking with others that have an interest in your hobby you can get the help you need. Sometimes you might think you have a bingo addiction, but it it could be due to other reasons that you started playing more bingo games than usual, and once those issues are solved you go back to your regular usage. Monitor yourself and stave off that bingo addiction.

5 top hints for winning on online bingo

If you want to play bingo online to win it will require some pre-thought when entering a game. As you may know online bingo is played with a random number generator to make certain that there are no patterns in the numbers called. This makes it difficult to be a winner 100 percent of the time. It opens the playing field to be more than fair. However, there are some bingo hints that might make it easier for you to win or at least have a better chance of winning. We have the top five bingo hints listed below.

  1. You should choose a respected online bingo site. There are hundreds of online bingo sites available to you, but not all of them are as legitimate as others. With the internet has come some foul play and it is hard to track.
  2. Your second top five bingo hints comes in the actual choice of games. You have 90 and 75- ball bingo games to choose from. You also have jackpot games that you can join. The game you join needs to have a minimal amount of players. The least amount of players in a game means more chance for you to win. For example if you have 18 players in a bingo room, and they all play 6 cards that means you have 108 cards in play. If you play bingo in a room with 50 players with 6 cards you are looking at 300 cards in play. The chances decrease that you will have the winning card.
  3. You should consider the cost of the tickets for the bingo game. There are free bingo games, 1p, 2p, 5p, £1, £1, £5 or even £10. The larger the bankroll to start typically the larger the jackpot, but you may not be able to afford the entry fee all the time. It is still okay to go for the less expensive bingo games, because you still have a chance at winning. Sometimes you have more of a chance because of hint number 2. The lower bingo pots don’t get as many players.
  4. Find the best bingo bonuses. During certain times of the day there are extra bonuses that you can win at a bingo site. For example the coverall bingo games are played at certain times of the night, which means more of a chance to win bigger cash prizes.
  5. Last of our bingo hints, you should examine the bingo tickets before you buy. Don’t just take what the computer assigns. Look at the bingo cards carefully to determine the numbers on the card to get the best spread of numbers, such as even, odd, low, and high numbers being offered evenly on the card.

Online bingo cash accounts

When you decide to start playing bingo online you will need to make a decision about how you want to fund your account. There are many different methods with which you can pay. You can set up your account to go through your bank and give this information when you register. You can use your credit card to deposit, or use one of many online payment methods. Alternatively you could fund your online bingo account with cash.

This article will discuss how to use a bingo cash account. While this may not be the preferred method that you might choose you will want to give it some consideration. What are the benefits to using this method of payment? You wouldn’t have to worry about giving your banking information to an online bingo site. These sites are safe and secure as they possibly can be, but nothing is failsafe. In this type of transaction you would use a money transfer or wire transfer. This can be down through your bank or through a company such as Western Union. You pay a fee for this service, but it is usually nominal.

You would go to the company that you choose and bring your money with you in cash or cheque form. They in turn will wire it to the game site of your choosing. You will not have to give anyone your bank account information, thereby reserving your privacy. You will also have a little better control over how much money you will spend on this type of activity. Playing online bingo games should be a source of entertainment and fun, but one that is entered into responsibly. This form of payment will allow you that kind of control so that you can play bingo online in peace.

Many bingo sites are starting to curtail the use of credit cards as a form of payment. This has come about because people were starting to incur too many charges to gaming. This will encourage you again to play more responsibly. If the online bingo site you enjoy playing on still allows the use of credit cards as a form of payment be sure you check to see if you are being charged a fee for paying this way. Often charge card companies charge the site for accepting the credit card. This would be an unnecessary and extra expense for you, but unfortunately it is quite common.

So if you want to play bingo online safe in the knowledge that you’re using the safest way possible to fund your account, look at the cash account method. While this form of payment is not instantaneous, it is surely worth the peace of mind and will allow you to play bingo games securely and safely with maximum protection.

Internet bingo chat rooms

There are many different areas to an online bingo site and one of them is the internet bingo chat rooms. You can get to know new people while taking a break from playing your favourite games. If you are unfamiliar with the online playing sites you will find several different games to play. The majority of the sites will also have slot games, casino games and instant games nestled among the many varieties of bingo games.

The internet bingo chat rooms are exceptionally fun. You get to visit with others that have the same interests that you do. This could extend to other areas in your life besides your fondness for online bingo games.

Certain sites have chat moderators that can help you with any questions you might have. These friendly moderators will enhance your enjoyment of the bingo games. Even if you have played bingo in the bingo halls you will find subtle differences when playing internet bingo. These internet bingo chat rooms can help you bridge the gap.

A great feature of some of these sites is that you can play games within the internet bingo chat rooms and win prizes. What could be more amusing than chatting and winning at the same time? When you are a club member you can also earn points while in the internet bingo chat rooms.

You may experience some problems when trying to connect to a chat room. This is most likely due to a firewall. We all have these to protect us against problems, but you can get help online. There are usually three main areas to an internet bingo chat room; the rooms and message display area. The control panel and text area and the area where the other chatter’s aliases are located are the third area.

You will be connected to the main lounge when you log on to the internet bingo chat rooms and from there you can travel to the other chat rooms. You will use the up and down arrows to navigate through the internet bingo chat rooms. You will be able to see how many people are chatting in each room and you can decide if you want to join that group or not.

You would locate the send button in most internet bingo chat rooms and type your message; when you are done typing you only need hit the send button or hit enter. It really is as easy as that. You must abide by the rules of the internet bingo chat rooms. There are rules about the language and conduct that must be followed or you can be removed from using the chat room. Whatever you do, make sure you enjoy your experience when you play bingo online.

What to look for in online bingo reviews

Have you been looking for the perfect online bingo site? Perhaps you are new to internet gambling and don’t quite know what to look for? If you are new to the whole gambling experience we might have some help for you. There are a ton of internet bingo reviews on the web. Some of these internet bingo reviews are written by users of the site, some of them are paid advertisements, and still others are written by writers reviewing the site. You need to learn how to weed out the different online bingo reviews to gain the information you want to know about the site. In this guide we are looking at some of the things the internet bingo reviews you decide to trust should offer you.

Starting out the internet bingo reviews should have a nice introduction that tells you about the site. You need to know information like that in order to trust the company you give personal information to.

What’s offered on the site?

In this section on online bingo reviews you should see a list of games that are offered. For example you may have 75- ball bingo, 90- ball bingo, instant games, slot machines, and video poker. Some of their bingo rooms have live chat. The rooms also have unique names like High 5, the Strip, or the Hangout. Any online bingo reviews that you read should offer detailed information as well as general information. The more detailed the more you can trust the online bingo reviews for accurate information. The person has most likely been to the site and tried it out. This is one reason site users make the best online bingo reviews, but they can also be disgruntled for a variety of reasons.

You are better off to get all three types of online bingo reviews about a bingo site in order to gain the most information before you sign up to play bingo games.

The way information is offered on the site is another thing you want to consider. If the information is hard to find on how to register, FAQ’s, or even how to set up a bingo account chances are you will want a different site.

Lastly, you don’t want to make your overall decision based on the online bingo reviews. You should see some of the information for yourself. A lot of sites let you poke around, without accessing the bingo games. You can learn for yourself how easy the site is to use.

Funding your bingo account

Whether you are new to online bingo or have been around for a while you may not know everything there is to know about setting up an online bingo account. We are going to look at your options for getting your bingo account set up. Registration is easy; it is a step by step process, but then you have to figure out how to fund your bingo account. This is where it can get a little dicey.

Many online bingo players setting up an online bingo account for the first time are worried about security. After all you will be offering personal information over the internet and there are a lot of scams out there surrounding online gambling. The first thing you should do is find a trustworthy bingo site to register at. Make sure you do your homework because then you don’t have to worry about the security of sending your personal information along when you fund your bingo account, and you’ll be able to relax in the knowledge that you can play bingo online securely and safely.

You have numerous ways to fund your bingo account once you find a trusted online bingo site. We will look at what each one is and why you might want to use it below.

Credit Cards

We all know what credit cards are, but did you know a lot of the bingo sites allow you to use your credit cards to fund your bingo account? There are going to be some restrictions on using your credit card to fund your account. Credit cards can quickly get you into debt and there are regulations being proposed to make it harder for gambling sites to use them as a means to fund online bingo accounts and other gambling accounts. Your credit card company will charge you like it is a cash withdrawal rather than a purchase, which is more expensive. You must also use your own card, in other words it must have your name on it and the account must come up in your name to use the card.

Neteller

Neteller is another option to fund your bingo online account that is available in all currencies. It is an online money transfer service that you can use. It is one of the most popular methods as well. You have to have a Neteller account open for it to work.

Switch and Solo

This is a British pounds account. If you have a Switch and Solo debit card you can use it at most bingo websites safely and securely.

Debit Cards

You are also able to use debit cards to fund your bingo account. The debit card will work like a regular transfer from your bank, which means the account has to have the funds in it in order to transfer to your bingo account.

When you set up your bingo account you do have to offer the account number, security code, and the billing details. There are other options that online bingo sites accept such as money transfers from Western Union. Keep in mind that to open an account you must be at least 18 years of age.

Bingo promotions are trap -- some say!

If you have ever been lured onto a bingo site by one of the nice promotional items that they offer, then you undoubtedly understand what I’m getting at here. Lots and lots of people look at bingo and they think, “That’s a trap!” Bingo promotions look really pretty when you consider the amount of free money that they offer, but do you ever follow through and get any of that money? That’s the question that many are wondering about and it is worth considering.

The “trap”, at least in this sense, is that you are being given money for nothing. You are given free money without any expectation, or so you will be told by the bingo sites. We are conditioned to not accept this type of free lunch, as life teaches us that most things that appear too good to be true end up being not true in the long run. But is there really a reason for all of this apprehension when it comes to looking at online bingo promotions? Should we be so scared?

In these difficult economic times, we are taught to protect our dollar bills. The thing is, you are in a no risk situation when it comes to online bingo promotions. If they happen to hand you some free money and you never see any of that money, what have you really lost? If it turns out that their offer is true and you reap the rewards of lots of free coin, then that’s most assuredly a good thing, right? That’s the outlook you have to take when looking at some of the new bingo promotions offered by the sites. What do I have to lose, anyway?

You might be surprised to learn that many of the companies who offer these sorts of bonuses are really reputable. This may be the only industry, along with the poker and sportsbook industry, that offers you money to do absolutely nothing. With finances becoming so tight because of this entire economic crisis, it is nice to see that someone out there is looking out for us by providing free money. It is a good thing, to be sure. Don’t be so skeptical next time you see the offers. Try to keep your mind open and you mind find that you will end up with a nice bonus for your trouble.
