While online bingo is available in both 75 and 90 ball variants, the former is usually the preferred version in Canada and the United States. On the other hand, the 90 ball bingo is more popular in the United Kingdom and Europe. Regardless of which version you prefer, the rules of the game are simple and straightforward: get all the numbers in a predetermined pattern.

The objective of the game

The bingo board comprises of random numbers ranging from 1 to 75/90, a 24 number mix that can be either of the 6,000 possible number combinations available on a bingo card. The balls that are drawn are presented to the players in the form of a letter and a number. The bingo card comprises of five columns, each of them being marked with the letters of the game (B, I, N, G, O). While the B, I, G and O columns include five numbered squares, the N column only has four squares for numbers and a free space. The cells on the columns have ascending numbers, meaning that the B column includes random numbers from 1 to 15, on the I column you can find random numbers from 16 to 30, so on and so forth.

General rules of bingo

Regardless of the site you choose to play bingo, you need to be at least 18 years old – the legal gambling age limit – in order to play. In addition, most bingo websites do not allow players to have more than one account, to prevent violations of their policies and other abuses. Other rules common for most websites include:

• You are responsible for keeping your registration details safe
• You cannot return the purchase after you bought the bingo cards
• You should have an amiable attitude toward other players and chat leaders

Rules on depositing and payouts

Before signing up with a bingo website, it is highly recommended that you read and understand the terms and conditions associated with deposits and payouts. While most bingo websites require you to make a deposit first, rest assured that the credit is not usually excessive. On average, you are required to deposit around $25 to be allowed to play and, depending on the site, you might be eligible for special promotion returns, such as 300% off the first deposit made.

It is important to note that most sites apply limits such as $500 per day or $2,000 per week. Moreover, even though you can benefit from other bonuses over time, they are mainly used to fund player accounts and do not constitute cash prizes.
