  • Classic UK 90 Ball Bingo or US 75 Ball Bingo?

    General

    Before the explosion of online bingo games, there never was a problem playing bingo because you were always playing in bingo halls local to you (well, unless you travel a lot!) and you were able to learn the rules of play native to your own country. Times have changed and as a result, more and more players are scooting back and forth between UK bingo sites and US bingo sites, depending on which site, or which country has the biggest jackpot!

    There may be trade agreements in place and international gaming laws that won’t allow you to wager in another country, but free bingo is always available. There are some sites where you can play free UK 90 ball bingo and some where you must make a deposit. The same holds true for the US as well. The main difference is in the cards/tickets you will be playing.

    In the US, bingo cards are set up with the letters B-I-N-G-O across the top while in the UK you will be presented with a strip of 6 tickets each with boxes set up in three lines with nine columns. Every number between 1 and 90 will be on the strip at some point. The object is to be the first to fill up the entire ticket in order to win the prize. So then, whether playing UK Classic 90 ball bingo or US 75 ball bingo, the object is to get a full house (fill up the card) to get the cash. Don’t let appearances fool you! It’s the same game with slight variations.

  • Working as a Bingo CM

    General

    As the British economy continues to struggle, many people are finding it difficult to find work. But one opportunity which many people may have over-looked is becoming a bingo Chat Moderator.

    Bingo CM’s are the friendly face of an online bingo site. If you’ve played at any of the sites we promote here at 90 Ball Online Bingo then you will no doubt be only too aware how important the bingo CM is. They are responsible for keeping the site running smoothly and monitoring the chat rooms to keep things peaceful and fun!

    Over at Which Bingo they’ve gone into lots more detail about how you can become a bingo CM, as well as advising where you’ll find the latest bingo CM jobs (which is here, by the way).

    You might like to consider taking on an “unpaid” bingo CM role if you haven’t already been a chat moderator in the past, as this will definitely help you to take a paid position in future.

  • 90 Ball Bingo Sites

    Player Tips

    While every online bingo site will usually let you play bingo with free bonus money that you get when signing up, there are other conditions that must be met before you can either play 90 ball bingo, or win cash money and collect it. Every site will be a bit different, but most will only allow a pay out after a cash deposit has been made.

    Other conditions might be that you will need to accomplish what is called a playthrough. For beginners, this might get a little confusing. It works a little differently at each site, but basically, the site will tell you what their playthrough policy is at the very beginning. Take for example a site that awards a sign on bonus of 100% of your deposit. The minimum deposit is £25 so you now have £50 to play with.

    The only amount you need to really be concerned about is your deposit. In order to play in the 90 ball bingo room you have met your requirement. You paid the minimum deposit. So, if the rules say that there is a playthrough of 3x your minimum deposit prior to being awarded a cash payout, you would need to run through £75 worth of tickets.

    At this point, you have £50 to go through, so you at some point must deposit another £25 and play all the way through that money BEFORE you can qualify for a cash award. That means that a third deposit of £25 should be made, and at any time now, if you win a cash prize and keep the money. While it sounds a bit confusing, once you win the pot, it makes it a learning experience well worth the effort!

  • Variations of Variations of Variations of Bingo Games

    Bingo Games

    Everyone in the civilized world knows what bingo games are, or have at least heard of them. At the same time, they might have a vague idea that there are numbers that are called out that you have to match on your ticket (called a card in some countries around the world). When you match a predetermined pattern, you call out bingo and win the prize. Well, not so quick!

    It’s a bit more complicated than that as some bingo halls or some bingo sites online also require that you deposit a specified minimum amount of cash to actually win a cash prize. Other sites don’t require a minimum sign on deposit, but they do require a deposit in order to play in certain rooms or certain variations of the games. All that aside, the games are played the same way, but not won in the same way. Some games, such as 90 ball bingo are won in three stages. One line gets the first prize, two lines on any one ticket gets the next prize, and three lines on any one ticket gets the jackpot.

    Both bingo halls and online bingo sites are always thinking up new and interesting variations of the game to keep it interesting, and sometimes there is just enough difference to put seasoned bingo players off guard! Whether you frequent one bingo hall or one bingo site, you can expect variations of variations of variations of bingo games throughout the year. The rules may change, but the fun will always be there.
