How to Win at Online Bingo

While bingo is primarily a luck-based game, enthusiasts of this enjoyable pastime will be pleased to know that there are a few ways in which you can improve your odds of winning. With the following tips, you will have a better chance of hitting bingo and hopefully striking that jackpot that you have been after for so long.

The Numbers Count

When it comes to bingo, the number of people can drastically affect your odds of gaining a prize. Obviously, the fewer people playing, the more likely it is that you will be the one to win. Whether this is a viable strategy really depends on the website you are playing on though, as the size of most bingo bonuses and jackpots is reliant on the number of players.

Buy More Cards

One of the simplest ways to increase your odds at winning is to play with as many cards as you can. The amount of cards is up to you, as you may find it difficult to play once you have exceeded a certain amount. As well as this, sites such as Jackpot Joy or Gala Bingo may have limits to the number of cards that you can play at the one time.

Length over Quantity

Some people say that playing in longer games will enhance your chances of winning. This is because the more time that passes, the better the odds of your number coming up. You should opt for S, U and four corner bingo games as these take much longer to hit than the regular linear versions.

Of course, there are more advanced methods of winning, some requiring some statistical knowledge, but the ones listed here are the basic methods that can be used to increase your odds of winning that elusive jackpot.

Can You Get Rich Playing Online Bingo?

With the large number of bingo sites now on the Internet, it is only natural to wonder if you can actually become a millionaire playing this game. There are some very large jackpots floating around on websites such as Gala and Tombola Bingo and the allure of winning so much money is certainly one reason why so many people are playing there. Those wondering whether there is a strategy that can be used to win big, however, should remind themselves that this is a game based solely on luck.

Remember that the chance of a jackpot is very small. Typically, you will need to get every number on your bingo card within 24 calls. Compare this to the average amount of calls that it takes to win bingo online(usually 50 to 65 calls in a 75 ball game) and you can see that the chance of you hitting the jackpot so soon are minimal. Of course, you have a higher chance of hitting the jackpot by calling bingo later on, but the amount that you win will be significantly lower.

Just remember that bingo should be played primarily for fun. Since it is a luck-based game, you should not rely on it as a source of income. It is a hobby and an enjoyable one at that. Winning the jackpot, if it happens, is a once in a lifetime occurrence, so you should be happy with the small wins and the bingo bonuses that you get occasionally. Despite the fact that you may dream about owning a mansion, sports car and boat, focus on the enjoyment of the game, rather than receiving that million pound jackpot.
