Bingo is a game that is reaching out to whole new generations of players now that it’s online. While the bingo hall used to be the domain of the older population and somewhere that younger people didn’t really venture, now that the game is available on so many different websites, there’s a real cross-section of players.

Just a quick visit to one of the bingo chat rooms will be enough to convince you that there is definitely a mixed crowd playing bingo these days – with players old and young, male and female, all having a good time while they’re playing this simple yet entertaining game.

If you’re new to the world of bingo, don’t worry, there isn’t much you need to learn. There are online resources where you can quickly master the art of bingo. Many bingo sites such as Costa Bingo and bgo offer tips etc. For example, you can learn bingo tips with Costa Bingo where you’ll find some useful guidelines on some online bingo etiquette. As with all chat rooms, the general idea in bingo chat rooms is to have a laugh and a gossip while you’re playing bingo, and to do that it’s a good idea to treat other players with a reasonable amount of respect – you can’t go wrong if you only type comments that you’d like to be on the receiving end of. If anyone does make remarks that cause offence to other players, they’ll be picked up by the chat moderator and deleted anyway.

For people who like to be loud while they’re playing, online bingo is perfect. You can chat to people on the phone or sing out loud to yourself and you won’t disturb anyone; unlike land-based bingo halls where a degree of hush is required during the games and woe betide anyone who speaks out of turn and causes another player to miss a number call. There’s no need for this kind of formality with online bingo as the software will mark numbers on your cards as they are called, and so there’s never any danger of missing out on a win.

As for the game itself, it’s really easy to play. You’ll find that most bingo sites offer both 90 ball bingo and 75 ball bingo, and it’s down to your personal preference which games you play. Some people enjoy 75 ball bingo more as there’s a winning pattern to play for; others prefer speed bingo, which is a similar format, but the games move through at a faster pace.

Whichever games you play, you simply buy the number of cards you want for each game and then have the choice of watching the number calls, or if you have something else you need to do, your cards will be played automatically anyway.

You can’t beat a game of bingo if you want something that’s easy and fun to play, and might just land you a huge amount of money.
