After you feel comfortable with these online bingo games you might want to go on to a coverall jackpot, where the first person to cover all the squares on their bingo card wins – if you can win within a minimum set number of ball calls the bigger the prize.

Written by Bingo LadyTraditional UK bingo is played with 90 balls. The last number in the online bingo progression is 90. It is a special number in many senses, and is revered in online bingo. In following the time tested online bingo tradition of giving call numbers different nicknames, it should be no surprise that this online bingo number has the most nicknames and some of the best. For those people who had so much fun making up nicknames for the numbers, this was the final chance to make their mark. So what are some of the online bingo nicknames for the number 90?
The first can be said in two different ways, depending upon which bingo game you are at. You might hear some callers say “top of the shop” and you might hear others refer to the number 90 as “top of the house”. Either is equally correct and they are both steeped in online bingo tradition. It is easy to see where this nickname came from. If you were to list all of the possible numbers of a bingo game in order, 99 would be at the top of the heap. That is why online bingo gives 90 this special nickname for its calling.
There are some other online bingo nicknames for 90, as well. While the others made it seem as if 90 was the head of some sort of vertical ordering system, these nicknames would apply to a linear numbering system. 90, in many online bingo games, is called out at “end of the line”. Any fool can tell why this is the nickname for this particular online bingo number. There is nothing past 90, so it is essentially the last remaining digit. There are often times when this is the last number that a player needs in order to have bingo, so these nicknames take on a special significance.
All in all, you will find some very interesting online bingo calls for just about every number that there is. 90 is no exception and it is only special because of the fact that it is the last number going. If you are an online bingo player and you haven’t heard some of these cool call number nicknames, then you are really missing out. Call nicknames like this are a great online bingo tradition and they have helped to make the game what it is over the years. They are worth getting to know if only for entertainment purposes.
Written by Bingo LadyWith so many online bingo sites out there today, players have a tough time choosing the right one. After all, they look the same and many of them use the same software. In many cases, online bingo sites are also offering the same promotions, as well. When this is the case, what is a player to do? How are they to tell one of the online bingo sites apart from all of the others? There are some very simple things that a player should look for in online bingo sites to find the right one.
All in all, online bingo sites need to be trusted. If you can’t trust your site, then there is no reason why you should be playing there. You are going to be trying to win some big prizes and some major bingo jackpots. When you get lucky enough to do this, don’t you want to know that you will be able to claim your prize from the online bingo sites? This should be the first thing you look for. Do the research on various online bingo sites and find out which ones are the most trusted by experienced players who are familiar with the online bingo scene. Be sure to check out the bingo forums too.
As a player, you should also be looking for a site that is willing to adapt to the changing technology out there. The online bingo world is constantly evolving. New bingo games, new software programs, and new incentive programs are popping up each and every week. This is why online bingo sites in this day and age have to keep up with the times. When you choose a site, you need to know that they are dedicated to providing you with only the best and latest in online bingo software. You need to know that they are keeping up with the competitors in this highly competitive field.
Online bingo sites must be able to give you quality service, as well. If you are going to be investing in them, then they need to be available to answer your questions and calm your concerns. This is something that you should demand in your online bingo sites and if the site cannot provide that, then you need to take your play elsewhere. There are way too many online bingo sites out there for you to be settling for anything other than the absolute best. As a player, you should demand that out of your online bingo sites.
Written by Bingo LadyWhen you set out to find the best bingo game around many people rely on bingo reviews. It is a good way to find the best online bingo site because they will tell you all the different aspects of each site they have visited. When you look on the web for reviews they will show you the top sites and why they think they are the best bingo site.
How do you decide which points of the review give you the most comprehensive data? It will take a little time to research the online bingo reviews on different sites and see who you get the most benefit from. There are many sites that don’t review the game site as much as they just tell you what they have to offer. While this is good information and you will want to have it, it differs from an actual review.
You will want to know why people think the bingo site they play at is best and what options the website has to offer. Most review sites will be unbiased and just give you some facts. They will point out the highlights of a particular bingo site, what drew them to the bingo site and any current bingo promotions they may have. These key points should help you determine which sites you want to look into. They also should give you the confidence that they are legitimate sites. Don’t forget there are bingo websites out there that are scams and you should be able to avoid these by reading more than one review.
The review sites usually tell you the top five or ten bingo online sites. You can feel confident when you look into these bingo sites that you will find the best bingo site to play on. A good indicator is how long the bingo site has been in business. The rating system on one such online bingo review site uses a star system so that you can easily see if they have top star billing.
The best online bingo sites all have chat rooms that customers really enjoy as you can develop a social network of bingo friends with the same interest. You will find that this creates a fun atmosphere for playing bingo online. We found new bingo sites in many reviews that have consistently been in the top five. They have easy sites to navigate, great incentives and bingo promotions for new players and top deposits bonuses. They also offer big bingo jackpot games throughout the month that can pay amazingly high cash rewards. So when you want to find the best bingo site read a review to help you.

Paddy Power Bingo are having a month-long party with their Octoberfest celebrations in honour of their Gold Bingo room turning 2 earlier this month. This Irish online bingo website is worth it’s weight in gold, and bingo fans are truly spoilt for choice this month with extra bingo promotions and a whole load of free bingo games to choose from!
Free Bingo Games are always a plus for any bingo buddy, as they brings an extra thrill of winning something for nothing. Those of us who are tuned into online bingo and love the game for it’s sheer unpredictability and the great social scene, never say no to a game of free bingo - that would be silly!
There is a special breed of bingo player that refuses to play free bingo games - and I’m definitely not one of those. Show me a free bingo game and I’m on it! I look upon free bingo games as a reward for the time and money I spend at these bingo sites, and I appreciate them. If you find an online bingo website that doesn’t do free bingo games, at least sometimes, their bingo roomies won’t be so happy.
Written by Bingo LadyWink Bingo are holding their cool £3K guaranteed jackpot bingo game on Monday night at 10pm sharp. This game kicks off every month on the 20th, and although not as huge as the £10K guaranteed bingo jackpot on the 10th of each month, I definitely would not complain if I won £3,000 for playing my favourite online bingo games at Wink Bingo!
Three grand is a fair whack of dosh, and I’m quite sure I could even spend it in less than a day. It’s an amount that’s not too overwhelming, and if I do win the £3K jackpot at Wink Bingo this month I know how I’m going to spend it.
I’d pre-purchase my tickets for the whole month of big jackpot games at Wink Bingo, even if I only buy 5 bingo cards for each online bingo game that’s just a fiver - and the chances of winning the bingo jackpot are always there…
I’m sure that all bingo online players dream of hitting the big one, it is after all the underlying reason why we play bingo online - to win a huge pot of cash! But there’s definitely more to online bingo than the big winnings, I’m equally thrilled to win a small bingo game jackpot, even a 1 line win on bingo sends me spinning with delight!
That being said, if I do win the 3K jackpot on Monday night at Wink Bingo, I might just disappear for a few days, as I’ll probably be recovering from a huge bingo booze hangover!
Written by Bingo LadyThe way the US government has handled the whole fiasco starting from the 1961 Wire Act up to the UIGEA still leaves me gawping in shock and amazment. For citizens in the land of the free, where the 5th amendment is used daily in courts all over the land, what is the big deal about online bingo, online poker or even online casino games?
Online bingo is my thing, it keeps me going. And if I want to play online bingo there’s nothing stopping me, as a British citizen. However if you happen to live in the good old USA it’s another matter entirely. My question is why?
America gave birth to the internet and the dot com boom, and a whole new industry was born. Gambling has always been an inherent part of our nature, and online bingo is just one facet of that.
I tune in and drop out in the evenings and at weekends to play my favourite online bingo games. It’s harmless, you can play for hours on pennies, or if you’re really good at keeping a schedule you can get by on just playing free bingo games without having to spend a penny of your own!
I’m just trying to imagine the uproar it would cause if Gordon Brown suddenly turned round and declared it illegal to play online bingo - he would be lynched! There’s no way anybody’s going to tell me I can’t play bingo online. No way Jose!
Written by Bingo LadyAn article published earlier today in Bingostreet news section reports about the huge fight going on in the UK about online gambling. As online bingo enthusiasts this affects us all, but it is a controversial subject.
A new NHS clinic is being opened to care for problem gamblers who suffer from addiction to gambling. The main problem facing the clinic is funding, and who should do the funding. The clinic has funds to operate for a year, but the future after that is in jeopardy.
The 2005 Gambling Act made pretty sure that all online bingo operators, online casino operators etc., who wanted to operate in the UK had be regulated, and were also subject to increased revenue tax - all great news for the Treasury.
But where has all this money gone? Organisations like Gamcare, which is already funded by the online bingo industry among others, is fighting against the RIGT trying to find an answer to the funding problems for clinics such as these.
The Gambling Commission, also funded partially by the online bingo and casino industry, has little support from the apathetic government since the super-casino fiasco, and doesn’t really know what’s what.
So who should pay? The online bingo and casino industry, plus the land-based industry is already paying huge taxes, plus has donated £250,000 to the clinic already. As an NHS clinic shouldn’t the government be funding the rest?
Personally, I believe that the biggest problem is getting society (and the government) to recognise that addiction to gambling, as with any kind of addiction, is a serious condition that requires treatment. Once they get that into their thick heads then we can all get on with our daily fix of online bingo fun.
Written by Bingo LadyThe famous Hampton Court Palace Flower Show is about to become a part of the online bingo community thanks to an interesting promotion by online bingo hall Crown Bingo.

“In honour of this fantastic display of horticulture, we are giving you the chance to win a bouquet of flowers for every day the show is on (the 8th to the 13th July).

So all you green thumbed online bingo games players out there, if you fancy some pretty flowers to put beside your gaming computer, go to Crown Bingo and start playing bingo online.
Written by Bingo LadyIreland’s online bingo games operator Paddy Power is launching a new European Bingo Championship aimed for June. It’s the latest entry into the red-hot online bingo sector which has been enjoying substantial growth for the last three years.
The competition is obviously designed to cash in on the upcoming football Euro Championships – so all you football widows out there now have your own championship to take part in!
For those who play online bingo at a high level (and we’ve got some of the best here at Bingo Street), Paddy Power’s championships is offering a new Chevrolet car, travel and laptop prizes and bonuses. A grand final is scheduled for June 29 with the competition’s qualifiers taking place on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Written by MikeA new by New York-based Moody’s Investors Service is telling us that there are several factors combining with the “economic slowdown and possibility of a long-term, consumer-based recession” which will cause a negative impact on the US gambling industry –including the online gambling industry which was so badly affected by the implementation of UIGEA.
From the report’s author:
“Declining disposable income of potential customers and increasing travel costs are lowering overall visits and spending per visit in many gaming markets,” said Keith Foley, Moody’s vice president and senior credit officer.
For the discerning online bingo games operator, the part about increasing travel costs causing players to stay at home screams ‘opportunity!’ Moving to an online solution for their gaming needs is the obvious trend here facing the overall gambling industry.
However, the fly in the ointment is the obstacle of UIGEA which stops us UK-based online bingo halls from operating in the US market. Until this heinous piece of legislation disappears, we’re not going to see any major uptick in dealing with US customers.
So what is the state of things?
Online bingo industry observers will be aware of efforts in the US to change the emphasis away from criminalizing online gambling and instead looking for ways to regulate the industry which would lead to tax revenue benefits. With the threat of a major recession hanging over their heads, I hope, along with the rest of the bingo online community, that US legislators will see the sense of this.
In an ironic way, a possible downturn in the US overall gambling industry may be one of the major sparks in convincing US legislators to scrap UIGEA.
