Playing online bingo is a pleasure
growing in popularity. Although new hipster style real world venues are opening
and bringing brand new players into the bingo world, the largest number of
people trying bingo for the first time are those who already have online
gambling accounts. Whether they are sports bettors or casino players, the
statistics created by the government body responsible for regulation the
gambling industry, the United Kingdom Gambling Commission (UKGC), shows that
80% of online gamblers will have a go at online bingo.
There are no
secrets to bingo, no get rich strategies that will see your gambling balance
grow whilst marking digital cards. There are however important steps that are
very easy that will give you peace of mind and continued
enjoyment.
Safety
Underestimating your online gaming safety
is far too common when the urge takes you to part with money for some fresh
bingo cards. Yet good safety is really easy to do because much of the hard work
has already been done for you. All you have to do is check the home page of the
online bingo website for a direct link to the operator's license. For instance
many will have a license number displayed and a link straight to the
UKGC webpage detailing what they are allowed to offer you. One
click and a few seconds and you are done. This license ensures they and their
software providers have been vetted for all number of security issues so you
don't have.
No license, no play. Keep in mind though that there is no
guarantee on you account balance should the company fall into administration,
as with all online gambling companies.
Bonuses
Its very tempting to look for the biggest
bonuses, especially top-up bonuses and sign-up bonuses. Don't be tempted by
these without making an effort to read the terms and conditions which more than
90% of people (from the UKGC figures) fail to do. If the bonus conditions are
that you must wager many times the amount you get in the bonus then do not
accept it unless you really are going to spend a lot of time and money playing,
and we don't recommend that.
If you shop around you can find simple
bonus terms of just one or two multiples of the bonus and due to immense
competition there are websites with no wagering requirements.
Guaranteed Prizes
If you're
playing bingo games with guaranteed jackpots then it
makes sense to play when there are the fewest number of other bingo players.
This might be in the weekday mornings or afternoons. Sure the prizes might not
be so big but your chances of winning will be much higher and you need to cash
in sometimes otherwise bingo will become a bit depressing, a thing to avoid at
all times when gambling.
Set Spending, Playing and Deposit Limits
All
licensed sites are now required to ask you if you want to set limits. Take the
opportunity to think about it sensibly and come up with a figure that will keep
you safe. Of course you're going to be sensible most of the time but
occasionally you might get tempted to chase loses or perhaps have a few too
many drinks and get carried away. In those instances you will have protected
yourself from excess. It might be disappointing to be prevented from adding
more money so you can chase, but the in the cold light of day you will be happy
that you did.
Along with strict deposit restrictions its best if you set
yourself a play limit in terms of spending time and money. This is not like
sports betting where there are fixed
events that happen once a year. You will always be able to get into a bingo
game any time of the day or night. Remind yourself of that and give yourself
maximums that you stick to. There is always tomorrow. And never chase
loses.
Play A Limited
Number Of Cards
Some bingo operators will let you play as many
cards as you want. Playing a large number of bingo cards at once will just give
you the chance of missing numbers and although the chances of winning goes up,
so does the cost. So by playing just a few cards you have better chances in the
long run without making costly errors.
Get into The Bingo Chat Rooms
Part of the real
world bingo hall ambience will always be gone when you're play online. But you
can chat and banter with other online players whilst you're in between games
and add some social element to the game and pick up some like-minded friends in
doing so. All round its just better and healthier to add personal interaction
into your gambling. Its healthier for the mind and the soul which is what you
want to get back from spending some of your money. |
