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!
