Top Ten Tips For Winning At Bingo.

 

Unlike many betting games, perhaps with the exception of poker, players do not need to win the game to have a good time; winning is a bonus. There is loads of fun to be had and the winning is neither here nor there, really.

 

Saying that, there is no reason to go into the game with the sole intention of losing – winning is good, and we have some tips to help you with this aim.

 

Here is our list of top ten tips for winning at online bingo:

 

1. Try to pick games that have the least number of players. When the games are crowded, you have less chance of winning. When the room is relatively empty, your chances increase; you win less money in this scenario, but you win more often.

 

-Some bingo rooms have as little as 10 players at any one time, other rooms have 300+ players.

 

2. Practice – do not expect to win much in the first couple of weeks of playing; you need to familiarise yourself with the games and their associated processes. A great way of doing so is to play in the tournaments or the free games available online.

 

-While you play, make sure that you talk to other players, get tips from them and share your experiences too; you will make friends and learn strategies at the same time.

 

3. Some games have special bonuses that you can win. Sometimes these take the form of bonus balls, if you have a bonus ball and it is drawn during the game, you will win bonus points – these often translate into free tickets.

 

4. When playing at an online bingo hall, aim to buy tickets in the highest denominations. The best price ranges are the $0.25 - $0.50 tickets. If you play the more expensive cards, you win more money, but beware; you also lose more money when you do not win.

 

5. Read up on review websites what other players have to say about the site. Always play your games on a reputable site, avoiding the newer sites until they have become established.

 

- We have had the unfortunate bad luck to play on new sites and lose every game on our first $100 spent; whether this was just bad luck or the companies trying to get money, is a matter of opinion, but we will NOT be doing that again.

 

 6. Do not play with too many cards in any one game. If you want to enjoy your bingo experience, you need to be able to keep track of all your tickets. Also, you do not want to spend your money too quickly; you need to budget your ticket buying to your bankroll.

 

- The more tickets you buy, the greater your chance of winning. We advise you to aim to purchase roughly half of the available tickets if you can afford to.

 

7. Play the game as if it were your job. If you find yourself on a losing streak, do not go chasing your losses. Bingo sites seem to operate on a loop basis, when a player is in the loop, they win fairly frequently, when they are out of the loop, they lose; you find yourself losing more games in a row than you think you should be, then leave and come back at a later date.

 

- All players enter into both losing and winning streaks throughout their gaming experience.

 

8. Make sure that you keep an eye on the numbers being drawn and mark them off your tickets as you are going along. Play bingo in a quiet environment where you can concentrate.

 

- This is not relevant to online bingo because the software marks your tickets automatically, but you do have the option to play without the ‘auto daub’ (although the sites do keep track and you still win even if you do not mark your cards correctly; the option to remove auto daub is just for fun).

 

9. Online bingo sites often run limited-period free-games, make sure that you keep up with who is offering what and when, by joining a review site and having updates sent direct to your email account. These are a great way of having fun, and potentially winning free money.

 

10. Take advantage of special rules that some sites offer as the games are progressing. You can choose to opt in to some games once the game is actually under way – this can be really useful if you notice a card that you have not purchased, but that has many of the called numbers on them, in your unselected tickets. But, very few sites offer this, and those that do usually run this as a promotion.
