Bingo Guide

Welcome To Bingo Find

You can’t turn on your TV these days without being hit with a new bingo site that’s just launched, and as there are so many to choose from, and so many things to consider – we thought we would give you the low-down on some of the most common features found on bingo brands these days so you can make an informed decision before parting with your cash.

Bingo Bonuses

There are lots of different bingo bonuses out there. So much, so that it can be a little mind-boggling – so here is the info on some of the ones you are most likely to come across.

A no deposit bingo bonus is a free bonus that you will receive upon registering on a site. Normally you don’t need to enter any credit or debit card details to get it awarded but sometimes you do. Generally this bonus can be used on most bingo rooms, but not on slots or games (however this will differ from site to site).

Then there is a welcome bonus that you will find in pretty much every bingo site worth its salt. This is usually the highest bonus that you will receive from a brand so it’s a good idea to make the most of it. They can range from 100% up to 900% across your first 3 deposits in some cases.

Reload bingo bonuses are a retention tool, to make sure you keep coming back for more. These can generally be claimed on any future deposits you make – but if there is a loyalty scheme in place, usually the more you play on a site the higher the bonus you will get. You should also be on the lookout for seasonal bonus codes in your emails that will often pop up. These can normally only be used once.

In order to encourage you to spread the word – you will notice that a lot of brands offer refer a friend bonuses. This means you will be awarded a bonus amount for every bingo buddy you get to register and make a deposit.

Big Money Bingo

There’s no doubt about it, we all want to win big – and if that’s your priority you need to make sure that you have chosen a bingo site that is full of bingo jackpots. These can come in many different forms. Guaranteed jackpots are what are most common, and they can be found on pretty much every bingo brand. With this kind of game, you will know exactly what the prize pool is before you purchase your tickets. In most cases, you can pre-buy tickets for these games so you don’t need to even be online when they play out. Progressive jackpots are a little different. To win this, you need to call bingo under a certain number of numbers. The prize pot will continue to grow until it has been nabbed by one lucky player – and then it will set itself again. Sliding jackpots are fairly similar. They usually start at a high amount, and the more numbers it takes for the prize to be won, the lower the jackpot will go (but there is still normally a minimum guaranteed amount that can be won).

How to Choose a Bingo Site

There are lots of things to take into consideration when choosing a bingo site. We recommend (especially if you are a bingo novice) that you choose one that has a no deposit bonus, so you can get a feel for the site before deciding to make your deposit. Although you may not be able to access all games or rooms with your free bingo funds, it will still give you a good idea of what the operator has to offer.

It’s also important that you do your research. Make sure you check out their bonuses, promotions etc before signing up. It’s sometimes a good idea to have a look on their social media channels. On those types of pages, you can get an idea of how much they engage with their players, and usually you will see posts from users themselves. If you do have any questions, you can contact their support team before parting with your cash, make sure you have all the answers you require first.

Payment Methods

Payment methods are becoming something of increasing importance when it comes to bingo sites these days. Most allow you to transfer funds using major credit and debit cards – but alternative payment methods are becoming more popular and it’s something that the gaming industry has had to take note of.

PayPal can be found at a lot of real money bingo sites and as people may use this method to transfer funds to other merchant sites, it could be a deal breaker whether or not they join or not if a brand doesn’t feature it. Other popular e-wallets come into play too such as Neteller, Ukash and others. Essentially if you don’t want to have to enter your credit or debit card details online, this is another option for you. These are 100% safe and secure but will take varying amounts of time to process withdrawals.

There are limits as to how much you can deposit on a bingo site, to ensure they encourage responsible gambling and it’s not unheard of for them to request certain verification documentation to be sent on before processing withdrawals.

Terms and Conditions

As with everything, there is always small print to look out for when on a bingo site. For example with a no deposit bonus, you can’t confuse this with real cash. It can’t be used in all bingo rooms and on all games – and should you win some money, you won’t be able to cash in until you have met the wagering requirements.

Wagering requirements differ from site to site. It simply means that you need to have deposited a certain amount and wagered it before being allowed to withdraw any cash, so make sure you have read these carefully before jumping for joy on any big wins. Depending on the games, you like to play you should be able to meet them without any issues; some can count as a higher contribution than others when it comes to meeting requirements.

Bingo bonus codes will also come with a set of terms and conditions. For example, it will only apply within a certain promotional period and you need to have made a deposit between the set limits to qualify. If you don’t check this carefully you could make your deposit and not receive your bonus. Even deposit bonuses may not be able to be spent on all games, in fact usually unless specified otherwise – they can only be used on bingo and not slots or casino offerings, although you can search for sites that do offer this kind of bonus.

Hopefully with all of this information – you will be completely clued up in the world of online bingo!
