Choosing the right Bingo room

Every player should be looking for rooms selling cheap bingo tickets, high jackpots and as few players as possible. It is also important to check how many tickets a player can purchase. This will give you higher odds of winning. Although there are lots of sites out there that offer free bingo rooms, these rooms are usually full of people and each of those players is likely to have bought the maximum amount of bingo tickets (what with them being free and everything!) Usually in a free bingo room you can get around 12 tickets and we've seen rooms with around 500 people. 500 x 12 tickets is equal to...well..a lot! You probably have more chance of being run down by a herd of donkeys than winning the free jackpot! The free jackpots don't tend to be very high either and get shared between 3 players. We'll let you decide if you think this is something you wish to spend your time on.

The perfect Bingo site

When looking for a site there are some key criteria to follow.

1. Quality software
2. Integration of many different games from other software providers including slots, side games etc.
3. Easy to navigate
4. Good bonus structure
5. Fair wagering requirements
6. Licensed by the UK Gambling Commission

The most important factor is the software, this determines what the sites are like to play on however often the bigger sites bring in third-party games which means you get a wider choice. Most sites realise that this is very important to keep you playing and interested in what they have to offer.

Making a deposit and choosing a secure payment option.

Depositing real money for the first time can be quite daunting at first. You may have concerns over the site being related to gambling and handing over your bank details to a faceless company. Rest assured that we hand pick every site in our database so that you can be secure in the knowledge that you are dealing with a reputable company. We have already mentioned that is important to check that the site you are playing is licensed by the UK gambling commission but there are some other factors to look for which you can read about in our guide to making sure a bingo site is safe. If you really want to avoid handing over your card or bank details then we recommend using an e-wallet or voucher payment method for example Boku, PayPal, Neteller or Ukash - now known as paysafecard.

Licensed Bingo Sites

It is important that when looking through our directory that you check that the site is licensed by the UK Gambling Commission and is allowed to advertise and accept players based in the UK. To make sure you are playing somewhere with the correct license, check the footer of the website. This will usually inform you which country the website has acquired it's license. If you cannot find this information in the footer this is usually a pretty good indication that they are hiding something from you and it is our recommendation that you avoid playing there. The UK Gambling commission make sure that each operator has a strict process that makes their games fair. Often the software will use some for of RNG (random number generator) to make sure that their games give players a fair chance of winning. This is tested by separate impartial company to make sure that games are "random enough". If you find that a website is not displaying the UK Gambling Commission License Number we strongly recommend you do not play there. Chances are the games could be rigged and if you do win the money cannot be withdrawn.
