History of online bingo

The bingo game has been around since the 1500s.

It wasn’t until 1996 that the first ever online bingo site launched in the USA. It was called “Bingo Zone”.

Sun Bingo launched in 2006, making it one of the oldest UK bingo sites.

The site boasts not hundreds, but thousands of players.  

Benefits of online bingo

For players who have traditionally played in halls, the thought of playing on a screen may seem strange.

However, there are an array of benefits to the virtual bingo experience.

There’s nothing more stressful than trying to find time for your hobbies when you’re busy.

That’s where online bingo comes in.

Within a few button clicks, you’re playing the game you love at a time and in a location that works for you.

You could be on a bus, in a queue or in the bath.

Types of online bingo games

Sun Bingo offers a number of bingo games. The main difference between them are the number of balls in play.

  • 90-ball  

This format is the traditional game played in UK bingo halls.

The bingo cards appear as a 3x9 grid comprising 15 random numbers.

The aim is to get a line or full house.

  • 80-ball  

This game format appears as a 4x4 grid comprising 16 random numbers.

The aim is to get a vertical, horizontal or diagonal line. Seen as the perfect middle between 90-ball and 75-ball bingo, 80-ball bingo has surged in popularity in recent years.

  • 75-ball  

Just like 80-ball bingo, the aim is to get a vertical, horizontal or diagonal line.

This game format appears as a 5x5 grid comprising 24 random numbers (the middle square is left blank).

This faster bingo format has the essence of the bingo we all love, just slightly sped up.

  • 50-ball 

50-ball bingo is a great way to get the essence of our beloved 90-ball bingo, but with a bit more speed and excitement.

  • 40-ball 

Packed with action, this bingo game uses tickets comprising eight numbers.

  • 36-ball 

Fast and packed with fun! The bingo tickets comprising 12 random numbers.

The price you pay for a bingo ticket will depend on the type of bingo you play and the cash prizes available.

How to win online bingo

There are a few ways to win when playing online bingo, and how much you are awarded will depend on your type of win:

  • 1 line – a row, column or diagonal line of squares has been marked off your ticket.
  • 2 lines – two rows, columns or diagonal lines of squares have been marked off your ticket.
  • Full House – every square has been marked off your ticket
  • Pattern – a set winning pattern of squares has been marked off your ticket

Jackpot

Bingo jackpots are triggered if the full house is won before a specific number of calls.

The number of calls that the full house must be won before for the jackpot to be activated varies between the different bingo rooms.

The jackpots can either be awarded wholly to the community, wholly to the full house winner(s) or shared between the full house winner and all other players in that session (with 50% going to the winner and 50% to be shared amongst all of the other players).

Tips for choosing an online bingo site

If you’re thinking of playing online bingo, you might have some questions before getting started: 

  • What's the best bingo site? 
  • Which bingo site is right for me? 
  • How do I pick a bingo site? 
  • What’s the best bingo game to play?  

It’s important to pick the site that’s best for you.

Online bingo is a thriving way to play the game we love, and there’s plenty of variety when it comes to how you want to play.

Plus, there’s a huge range games to choose from. However, when it comes to the rules of online bingo, most sites have the same game rules.

THESE SWEET TREATS ARE WORTH KNOWING ABOUT

It’s mostly offerings such as type of bingo, prizes and extras like casino games that vary from site to site. 

In order to pick the right site, it might help to think about what kind of bingo you’d like to play.

Generally, the fewer balls in a game, the faster the game tends to play out.

So, you might be looking for a site that offers quick games or you might want games that take a little longer so you can get more of the bingo experience.

What also helps to set bingo sites apart are the exclusive games, features and promotions.

In addition to bingo games, you might want think about what other games, such as slots, are on offer.

Make sure to check out the available bingo promotions and competitions as well.
