Frequently Asked Questions - by UK Bingo Players

What are the odds of winning?

The odds of winning any given game of bingo vary according to the number of tickets you are playing and the total number of tickets that are being played. For example, if you are playing 5 tickets and there are a total of 500 tickets in play, your odds of winning that game are 5 in 500, which equates to 1 in 100.

What are chat games?

Chat games are secondary games that take place in the chat window during a game of bingo. They are generally free to enter as long as you are playing the main bingo game and usually pay out bonus points or modest cash prizes. Some chat games are played purely for the fun of the interaction involved.

What is the difference between 75 ball and 90 ball bingo?

Apart from the obvious difference in the number of balls that are used in each type of game, 75 ball bingo requires the player to cover a particular pattern on a five by five grid. 90 ball bingo requires the player to cover a line, two lines and then a full house on a grid of three lines which each have five numbers.

What is a progressive jackpot?

A progressive jackpot is one that increases in size with every game played until someone eventually wins the entire amount. In bingo a progressive jackpot is usually paid out to a player who makes a full house or coverall before a specific number of balls have been called.

Is online bingo safe?

If you select the bingo room you choose to play at carefully in order to ensure that it is legitimate and that your personal and financial information is transmitted securely, online bingo is very safe and arguably involves less risk than making a credit or debit card purchase over the telephone.

Can I play at more than one site?

An online bingo player can join as many bingo sites as they wish, and although it is normal for a player to have their personal favourite, it is also typical for them to join several sites so that they can enjoy a variety of games and gaming environments.

What is a deposit bonus?

A deposit bonus is a bonus amount of money which is added to an amount deposited by the player. For example, a 50% deposit bonus would add £10 to the account of a player who deposits £20. Almost all deposit bonuses have terms and conditions, so it is important to look at what these are. For example, some deposit bonuses only apply to the first deposit of a new player, and some have a fixed upper limit.
