Bingo is a game of chance and, for that reason, it has always attracted superstition and some... More

More
Pattern bingo, or 75 ball bingo, has presented bingo sites with numerous opportunities to offer unique themed games with similarly themed prizes. Patterns can essentially represent any shape, even if they are sometimes a little tenuous.

As such, it is far from uncommon to see people carrying their lucky mascots and performing lucky ceremonies before they start playing at their local bingo hall.

When they find something that they believed help... More

Bingo calls were initially introduced to help avoid confusion when a number was... More
Online bingo is enjoying the same kind of rise to fame that online poker enjoyed a few years ago. Poker used to be something that was typically played between friends in a smoke filled room and a booze fuelled betting frenzy but it became seriously mainstream when websites started to offer the opportunity to play online. TV shows and even greater prize money started to pop up everywhere. Bingo has gone through the very same revival, for a... More
Progressive jackpots are dangled in front of player's eyes in a bid to persuade them to a particular site in preference to all others.

Players from all around the country, and even around the world, join together to partake in a game that they all enjoy.

Some players look specifically for those sites that have the... More
Progressive jackpots have been around for a long while. Vegas casinos, in particular, have used them to lure new players into their buildings and onto their games and the ploy has been a successful draw ever since. The appeal of winning thousands, tens of thousands, or even millions of pounds in one game is enough to claim many new players. Land based bingo rooms have also been offering progressive jackpots for a while. National games continue... More
90 ball bingo is the most popular form of bingo in UK and most of Europe. However, 75 ball bingo is gaining in popularity, largely due to the fact that is played so widely in America.

If you've read any of our online bingo reviews then you will have noticed that we list the software employed by a particular site. It may seem a trivial fact, and perhaps something that use just to fill the page with a little more information.

Players use... More
Like a lot of games, the actual history and provenance of bingo is somewhat disputable. However, it is widely believed that the form we know of began as far as back as the 16th Century and originates from a game called Le Lotto. Le Lotto was played by French aristocracy as a game of luck and chance but was later adopted by the Germans as a learning tool and has continued to grow in popularity ever since. A more popular version of the game was... More
Bingo chat rooms are a big part of the online bingo community. A bustling chat board can pep up tired games and improve the popularity of bingo sites no end, and the bingo websites recognise this fact. As such, they employ chat moderators not only to ensure that the chat remains friendly and fun, rather than insulting and unpleasant but to promote their site. Chat moderators are used by gaming sites from all around the world, but the nature of... More
Bingo isn't just a pastime shrouded in superstition and hopes of winning big. It's a sociable hobby where people get together and enjoy the more social aspects of the game.

Each site may have different requirements before you can... More

Security and safety are certainly essential considerations when choosing a bingo site to join, but aside from the mundane (but important) details like those, many people want to know about something else—the money! Jackpots for bingo games vary from site to site. And, sometimes, the sizes of the jackpots can differ depending upon the time of day or the day of the week. Holiday or anniversary jackpots can sometimes be bigger. But, this all... More
