Bingo Bonus Points
When you play at internet bingo sites you will probably earn bingo bonus points, now they often go by different names depending which bingo site you choose to play at but whether they are called bingo points, bonus bucks, chat points, loyalty points or anything else they all fundamentally work on the same principle.
Bingo bonus points can be transferred into bingo money to buy cards with, usually at a rate of 1,000 points per £1 of bingo and they are a great way of boosting your bingo balance. So how do you get them?
Well there are several ways of earning bingo bonus points. Some sites give you free cash when you sign up, mostly this will be bonus money, the same as loyalty points in that you can buy bingo cards with it but not actually withdraw it as cash.
When you start playing for real money you will probably earn bonus points as you buy cards, you can save them up and when funds are low you can transfer them back into cash to purchase bingo cards with.
Another great way to earn bingo loyalty points is by playing in chat, this allows you to participate in bingo chat games and earn loyalty points that can be transferred back into bingo money to keep playing.
And of course there are the bonus point promotions, this is where you join in on a bingo promotion and are rewarded with bonus points if you win. There are many types of promotions that pay loyalty points, such as Team Bingo and weekly promotions where everyone that gets bingo on a certain number or pattern share a pool of bonus points.
Now with most sites bonus points can only be transferred back into bingo money, yet some internet bingo sites like to give you a little more back. Play at Virgin Bingo and you will earn something called V Points, these can be used to play bingo or saved up and transferred into credits to buy a whole host of treats from the Virgin Bingo loyalty points scheme.
In 90% of cases bonus points cannot be transferred into cash and withdrawn, and many internet bingo sites do not allow you to use them to play mini games and slots so it’s well worth checking the conditions of the site when you sign up.
Bonus points are a great way of boosting your balance a little and if you’re lucky you might even get a good win with them and find yourself ‘back in the game’.
