Online Bingo: playing in the UK

Bingo is one game that has been around for many decades, and by the signs of its popularity, will be around for more to come.

With this in mind, we wanted to give you a short guide on everything you need to know about how to play a game or two of online Bingo, within the United Kingdom.

So, if you’ve been wondering how you can turn your in-person Bingo games into a virtual, online gameplay session, read on to find out more.

To play Bingo in the UK online, you will typically need the following:

1. A device with internet access

You’ll need a computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone with a stable internet connection to access online Bingo websites or mobile apps.

2. Age verification

Online Bingo is strictly regulated, and you usually need to be at least 18 years old to participate. During the registration process, you may be required to provide proof of age, such as entering your date of birth or uploading a valid identification document such as a driving licence.

3. An online Bingo account

You’ll need to sign up for an account on a licensed and reputable online Bingo platform. This usually involves providing your personal details, such as your name, email address, and sometimes your physical address and phone number – this can vary from site to site.

4. A deposit

Many online Bingo sites require you to make an initial deposit before you can start playing, and again, the minimum deposit amount can vary depending on the website and provider.

5. Bingo tickets or cards

Once you have an account and funds in your balance, you can purchase Bingo tickets or cards by opening one of the Bingo games available to you on the virtual Bingo/casino floor.

These virtual tickets contain a grid of numbers, and you mark off the numbers as they are called out during the game. If you don’t want to miss a single number called, you can set up an auto dauber to mark them for you. Some available games can auto daub your numbers as part of the gameplay experience.

6. Optional

Some online Bingo platforms may offer additional features, such as chat rooms where players can interact and ask questions about the games available from a player’s perspective, mini-games, or loyalty programs. These features are not essential to playing Bingo, but are offered as an option on some sites, so it’s worth knowing about them in case you spot this on your chosen site.

Things to remember

• It’s important to choose reputable and licensed online Bingo platforms to ensure fair play and secure transactions.
• Additionally, always gamble responsibly and set limits for yourself to ensure you stay within your budget.
• You can set gameplay time limits, so you don’t lose track of the time or exceed your preferred, responsible time period when daubing.
