If you have recently signed up at an online bingo site, such as bet365 Bingo, then you may be wondering whether an online bingo strategy exists that can help you to win more often.
Maybe you have read an account of a ‘foolproof’ strategy to help you win often and want to know whether it is true. Or perhaps, you want to learn a little more about the nuances of the game of bingo and how you can become a little more successful when playing it.
You can find out all that and more in this useful article!
However, before we head into a number of tips for a genuine online bingo strategy you can follow, we must first begin with a simple caveat.
As you will no doubt know, bingo is a game of chance. That is the case regardless of the type of bingo game you are playing as in each variant of the game, the bingo numbers are drawn out in an entirely random manner.
In the real world, this is achieved by using a bingo ball drawing machine. Online, a random number generator (RNG) is used to achieve the same effect.
As is the way with any random event, it is impossible to predict. Therefore, it is impossible to create a strategy based upon how the numbers are drawn in a game of bingo.
However, while you cannot influence the order in which numbers are drawn, or indeed which numbers appear on your bingo cards, there are certain factors you can control in online bingo.
These can allow you to develop a bingo strategy that will give you more chances of winning.
While the numbers on your bingo card and the order in which they are drawn in a game cannot be controlled, there are elements within the game of bingo that you can control.
It is these elements that we can use to develop a simple bingo strategy that should, according to the stats, lead to more chances of landing a win.
It is important to note that while these strategies may increase your chances of a win, it does not guarantee a profit (and any strategy that suggests it can ensure you make a profit, is not worth listening to).
Bingo has no skill element, it is a game based on random chance and good or bad fortune. None of which can be influenced by an individual player..
However, you can use certain strategies to help you stand a better chance of winning a game of bingo, and also in selecting games that offer you a better chance of a win.
Here’s a list of strategies you can employ to help you stand more chance of a win when playing online bingo.
Many bingo sites offer customers the chance to play bingo games for free, offering cash prizes to the lucky players that land a winning line, or complete a full house or similar.
As these bingo games are free to play, you should ensure you play these games as often as possible, always using the maximum number of tickets per game.
Unsurprisingly, the free games are very popular, so your chances of winning are small. Crucially though, you are not paying to play these games. So they are a completely free hit at competing alongside other players for cash prizes,.
At bet365 Bingo for example, you can play free bingo twice daily in the Club Tropicana room, from 1 pm to 2 pm and 5 pm to 7 pm UK time. Each game allows you to purchase (for free) up to 36 game tickets. There is a total cash prize of £6 for each game, paying out on the first line, second line and full house.
How the £6 is paid out changes from game to game, in some it may be £2 for all three prizes. In others, it may be £1 for the first line, £2 for the second and £3 for the full house. Or the game can pay £3 for the first line, £2 for the second and just £1 for the full house.
As a completely free chance to win cash playing bingo, playing any free bingo you can each day should be an integral part of your strategy.
While you cannot control the number of players in any bingo room, you can control which of these rooms you join.
It is a mathematical certainty that all other things being equal, if you play a game of bingo against 16 people, then you are far more likely to win than you are playing against 160 people.
That doesn’t necessarily mean that you should avoid the most popular bingo rooms. As with any attraction, there are times when certain rooms are very popular, and others when they do not draw in as many customers.
If the prizes on offer are the same or similar for both sessions, then targeting the sessions that tend to have fewer players is a good strategic move.
Each bingo game you play will allow players to purchase up to a maximum number of tickets per game. The number of tickets you can purchase, and the cost per ticket, will vary but to improve your chances of success, you should always try to play with the maximum number of tickets,.
Remember, in online bingo, your cards are automatically marked, so you never miss a number and by playing more tickets per game, you are increasing your chances of landing a win. Giving you the joint-best chance to win of all the players in the room (out of those also playing the maximum number of tickets).
Of course, practicality also has to be considered. If purchasing all available tickets for a game is beyond your means, then you may want to play a different game, or play with fewer tickets. This strategic decision should never replace gambling responsibly and playing within your means.
As we have noted, playing against fewer players increases your chances of a win, so if you target your bingo gaming at times when fewer players are in the rooms, then you automatically increase your chances of a win.
Again a degree of practicality has to be used here. You shouldn’t get up at 2am every day to log in and play as this is when the site you play on is quietest. But if you can target your playing time around when the free games are, and when some of the rooms are less popular, then this is a good way to improve your chances of hitting a prize when playing.
Some bingo games only offer one or two cash prizes for each game. That means that you are less likely to win than a game, such as the UK-favourite 90-ball bingo, which tends to offer three cash prizes per game. Remember, the more prizes on offer per game, the more chances you have of winning one of them.
Many bingo sites offer customers a range of different promotions and bonuses throughout the year. These can be prove to be easy to access, especially for regular players and they will also offer benefits, such as entry into prize draws, free game tickets and similar.
Of course, by utilising these promotions, you can give yourself more chances to win prizes, or at least a chance to play other bingo games for free.
Additionally, some bingo sites have Chat Ops in each room who will, on occasion, run a Chat Game. These small competitions offer you the chance to win a prize by participating when they are offered. The games are usually fun and simple games to play and are completely free to participate in.
By utilising these six nuggets of advice, you have then devised a bingo strategy which targets games with more prizes to be won, fewer players, playing with the maximum number of tickets, lots of free bingo and also utilising any promotions and bonuses available to you.
This is as good a strategy to follow for greater online bingo success than any and while it does not guarantee you a win, it will increase your chances of at least landing a cash prize every so often!
Always remember to gamble responsibly.
