Pre-purchasing online bingo tickets

Online bingo has evolved incredibly over the past few years, and it’s become one of those hobbies that moves fluidly with the times. Each individual online bingo site stores an awesome amount of data about how us online bingo players play bingo, and analysing the figures makes for a powerful tool to adapt or strengthen existing marketing strategies.

The UK online bingo scene is full to the brim, even though you’ll find a new bingo site popping up every now and again, competition among the industry is fierce. There are literally 100’s of great online bingo sites to choose from, each offering juicier bingo bonuses and bigger bingo jackpots than the next.

So what effect does this have on the average online bingo player when you’ve got so much choice of where to play bingo online and not enough time?

Lucky for us, the online bingo sites have already adapted to this. How? By giving us the freedom to play multiple online bingo games at many different bingo sites at the same time, with the pre-purchase option.

Pre-buying your bingo tickets gives you so much more freedom as an online bingo player and as a real person too, no need to rearrange your personal life to fit in with your online bingo schedule, it really couldn’t be better!

And perhaps the very best thing about pre-purchasing your bingo cards, is that now you can play all those huge jackpot bingo games on a Friday night without having actually having to be at any one of them - pure genius!!!

The Bingo Doctor Raffle

A man goes to the doctor. The doc checks him over, and says “Sorry mate, but you have yellow 24, a nasty virus, so-called as it turns your blood yellow and you only have 24 hours to live. There’s nothing I can do for you - just go home and enjoy your final precious moments on earth.”So back he trudges home to wifey, and breaks the news. Distraught, she asks him to accompany her to bingo that evening so he can experience her idea of a night out, as he’s never been there before.

He gets his 1st card, and wins 4 corners - prize £350, and then gets any line and wins £3200. He also calls for a full house - and wins a grand. The national grid comes up and he wins a further £380,000.

The Bingo Caller gets him on stage, and says “Son - I’ve never seen you in here in all my life, but you won 4 corners, any line, full house & the national grid - I’ve never met anyone so lucky.”

“Lucky??” the man replies, “lucky? I’ll have you know I’ve got yellow 24.”

“Dear me,” says the bingo caller with a chuckle, “you’ve won the bloody raffle as well!”?

Mother’s Day on Sunday

This Sunday has gotta be one of the best days of the year to play bingo online, Mother’s Day, and if you want quality bingo games, super hot bingo jackpots and a warm and friendly bingo community, then join me and the rest of the gang at Wink Bingo this weekend.

Yeah, I know I’m always going on about Wink, but it’s because I know from personal experience they’re a great bingo site and there’s always a new reason why I’m still playing there after all this time.

In my time I’ve played at countless internet bingo sites, but most of my online bingo activity takes place at Wink Bingo, basically because I love to play bingo there.

Throughout March it’s been Mum’s Day fever at Wink Bingo, with tons of Mum inspired bingo promotions aimed at letting our mums know how special they are. Mum’s the World bingo game runs daily with £150 JP’s up for grabs, haven’t managed to nab one yet but there’s still two weeks to go as yet… There’s also some cool Mother’s Day vouchers up for grabs, coupled with a BOGOF offer so you get double value for money!

One of the best things about Wink Bingo is the fantastic community spirit, and if you introduce your mum, daughter or grandma to register at Wink Bingo for the Mother and Daughter jackpot special, if either of them win a JP they both get paid!!! Keep it in the family at Wink Bingo, love it!

And of course the spectacular mother of all online bingo games on Sunday night @8pm with a supercool £5,000 bingo jackpot up for grabs. I’ve already bought my bingo tickets for the big game on Sunday (so has my mum), you should too, and don’t forget to bring your family with you!

Bingo Wife :)

A wife comes home at 3am, wearing an enormous diamond ring. Her husband meets her at the door and asks her where she got the ring
“I won it playing BINGO”?, she says, “run me a bath will you, I want to soak.”

The next night the wife comes home at 3am again, this time she’s wearing a beautiful fur coat. Again her husband meets her at the door and asks her where the coat came from.

“I won again at the BINGO”?, she says, “now be a darling and run me a bath will you?”?

The next night the wife gets home at 3am, this time driving a brand new convertible. Her husband meets her at the door and asks her where on earth she got the new car from.

“Can you believe it, I won it playing BINGO! Now run me a bath so I can relax.”?

She undresses, goes into the bathroom and then comes right back out. “Why did you only put one inch of water in the bathtub?” she asks.

“Well,”? her husband answers, “I didn’t want you to get your bingo card wet”

:))) made me feel I want to play online bingo ;)

Moon Bingo

Moon Bingo is one of those rare internet bingo sites that has a comparatively low profile, yet is incredibly popular among those in the know.

Moon Bingo has been around since 2003 and has built up a solid base of loyal online bingo players. Powered by the popular bingo software Globalcom, players at Moon Bingo get great performance with good graphics, top bingo games, and an easy to use interface.

There’s lots of yummy goodies on offer at Moon Bingo, including 20 free bingo cards on signup, plus 100% bonus on 1st deposit and 50% bonus on all reloads. So nothing too outstanding bonus-wise, but maybe that’s because their bingo games are top notch.

You’ll find daily progressive jackpot bingo games where you can treat yourself to both 75 ball and 90 ball bingo games, or have a quick spin on one of the many progressive slots in the instant games section. Plus things really hot up at the weekend, with a £1 Million Coverall bingo game every Friday night with a guaranteed £1500 min. jackpot.

In my experience, when you find a good online bingo site, you stick with it. And I think this is where Moon Bingo has come up trumps. It’s pretty obvious that the folks at Moon Bingo treat their members really well, and that bingo fans flock there to simply enjoy the bingo fun and games. Well done to all you guys and gals at Moon Bingo!

The world of online bingo

Are you new to the world of online bingo? If you are feeling a bit lost then don’t worry, there are many online bingo guide sites to help you. The very first thing you need to decide is where to play bingo online, and we would recommend starting your online bingo action with a safe, trusted and established bingo website such as Wink Bingo – perfect for newbies to bingo, a really friendly and helpful bingo community with lovely Chat Hosts and many other bingo players ready to help if you get stuck, plus a cool £15 Free no deposit bonus you can use to try out all the bingo games first at no cost to yourself.

The biggest and best thing about bingo online is that it’s a very social game – but there’s absolutely no pressure on you to be social if you’re not in the mood, or are a bit intimidated by all the goofy gossip in the bingo online chat rooms. It’s always your choice to join in or not. You can just login and play bingo online without using the chat feature – but you can still watch other people chatting, which is a great way to learn the bingo lingo and the many shortcuts that bingo buddies use to communicate. However you’d be missing out on a lot of fun, not to mention the great bingo chat games, and the chance to make new friends playing bingo online.

So, you’ve chosen a good site to play at, you’ve been reading the chats of other bingo players, and you’ve played your £15 Free – you might even have hit a bingo jackpot in which case you’ll find other players congratulating you – it’s always nice to say thanks, and you’ll find that bingo players are always cheering each other on, so it’s a great way to plunge into the chat feature and start making new bingo buddies.

The next thing you’ll want to do is fund your bingo account – Wink Bingo offer a wide variety of payment options, so you should have no problem choosing the method that suits you best. Simply fund your online bingo account and then you’re ready to purchase bingo cards – you can always choose from a selection, so you can pick lucky numbers, or just go with the flow. The more bingo cards you buy for a bingo game the better your chances of winning, but this also depends on the number of people in the bingo game. At Wink Bingo you can buy bingo cards for as little as 5p, which means you can play online bingo to your heart’s delight without spending a ton of cash.

Traditional British bingo is played with 90 balls, and these tickets are sold in strips. But if you buy bingo tickets for a 75 ball game you can buy single bingo tickets. Both games are played differently, there’s 3 chances to win in 90 ball bingo and generally just one chance in 75 ball bingo. The more you play the more you’ll find out which type of bingo game suits you best. At any time if you don’t understand the rules just ask for help, the guys at Wink Bingo offer superb online help, and also Chat Room help – all you have to do is ask, and enjoy the bingo fun!
