Online bingo has been on the raise ever since it’s launch back in 1996, and it has become very popular around the world. Why you wonder? It is quite simple – it’s handy – you can play it at home or pretty much anywhere on any device; the rules are simple and it’s much faster and therefore exciting than the traditional game. And, let’s face it – it is one of the most socially acceptable forms of gambling.
Before heading to the next online bingo room though, hang on a minute – I have collected some handy advice that will save you a lot of time and disappointment. There it goes:
1. Safety
If you love bingo as much as I do you are surely spending quire some time online. Some sites require you to download some software, pretty much all – some personal details, so in any case security – of the device you are using and the information you submit – should always be your first concern. Make sure you get your hands on as many as possible user reviews, check the site’s reputation online – nothing you can do will be too much.
2. Games selection
Now you are covered in terms of safety, let’s look at the games available. Sure you feel like playing something now but don’t rush it – if you were to commit to a site, you want to have some variety. You never know. So take your time and look around carefully. There are sites that can cover that for you, giving you detailed comparisons of the game ranges of different credible sites, but more on that in a minute.
3. Payment options
Safety is important here as well, but let’s say you have that sorted. Next thing to explore are the options for payment – most popular are card payments, PayPal or e-wallet – you are best of picking a site that offers you more than one choice.
4. Practice, practice, practice..for free
Gaming portals often offer room to practice for free – for newbies or players who just want to test the site before committing to it. This is very useful because they allow you to get familiar with the system. When choosing your new game provider do note what you can get for free – remember, the customer is king.
5. Bonuses
Bonuses are the main selling point of many gaming site. Whilst you shouldn’t let yourself be fooled by them blindly, you should research and compare what is out there and which options best suit your way of playing – are you a spontaneous player or you play regularly? How much do you spend on average? What games do you play exactly? All those questions answered will help you making a better choice.
Loyalty bonuses are another story, they can vary from little perks, present bonuses and cashbacks to VIP schemes for more dedicated and serious players. For example, you can get more cash rewards, dinner and holidays to fancy places, freebies and last, but not least – that feeling of being just that little bit extra special. You can read more information about what sort of extras can a VIP status get you if it tickles your fancy.
In conclusion
The thing is, even as a regular player, I myself wasn’t aware of how to decently determine if a site is legitimate or not – nowadays everything is nice and shiny, everyone is saying the right things but is it true? And on top of that – to tick all the boxes I mentioned above for even one site is quite a laborious task, let alone get that information for 5, 10, 15 and so on of them. So your choices end up being to spend ages online in research or go for the good old try-error method (that can cost you an arm and a leg in this industry).
Luckily I discovered that there are nice people who have learnt their lessons the hard way and are willing to share their experience for free. There are a number of websites I have been using over time, who gather information and professionals from all over the place and present it in a nice and organised way so that you and I don’t have to become professors in legitimate gaming. I found bingoreviews.net hands down the best bingo site. Very light and clean theme, personal but still professional advice and tons of information. You will certainly win from stopping there to make an informed decision about the bingo site that best fits your needs.
Now that I have given you all the basic things to look out for before signing up to a Bingo site there is only one way to increase your chances to win – go play. You can thank me later.
