Bingo

As part of the BetFair Arcade, which hosts hundreds of slot machines, and the BetFair casino, which offers everything from exchange games and live dealers, to electronic blackjack and roulette, BetFair Bingo is one of Europe’s biggest online bingo sites, run by the world’s largest betting community.

BetFair Bingo is one of the most recent additions to the gambling site that aspires to have it all, and already it has attracted tens of thousands of players, with thousands of them online at any given time. This constant stream of bingo fanatics means that the games are never empty and that the organisers can well afford to fill them with huge prizes, along with regular promotions that ensure all players can get a piece of the action.

Promotions

BetFair is well-known for its promotions. These are what drive its advertising campaigns, these are what attract the new players and ensures the old ones remain. Anyone who has used the BetFair exchange or sports book will tell you that the promotions are in no short supply, whilst anyone who has used the poker room, the casino or the arcade will testify that there are even more there. When it comes to BetFair Bingo though, there are more promotions than many of these areas combined. Bingo is a fairly simple game and one that is offered by many sites, so these promotions are what sets the individual sites apart, and that’s why, in an attempt to make sure they are the best, BetFair have gone out of their way to offer the most.

Currently BetFair Bingo offers a £60 bonus for all new members to play with, an offer that doesn’t require much of a deposit and one that is offered to everyone who signs up with BetFair Bingo for the first time. This offer changes from time to time and it might not be valid at the time you read this, but there is always a new member bonus available so be sure to check-in and check it out.

Promotional tournaments offer players the chance to win in excess of £10,000 in a single sitting, even though there might not be £10,000 worth of entrants playing. Events such as the £250,000 Weekender also allow those who like to risk a little more, to win a little more, whilst small stake players can buy their way into the BetFair Bingo Raffle for just 50 pence a ticket, with each player given the chance to win up to £1,000. These promotions are changing all of the time and they tend to increase during holidays and events, with themed promotions on during the World Cup, Christmas, etc., Check the promotions page regularly to stay up to date with them and to take part in them.

Games

The games on BetFair Bingo are varied, with a number of stake sizes to choose from. You can play from as little as a few pence a ticket, which means that if you take advantage of the new member bonus mentioned above, you will be playing for free for weeks. How much you win is relative to how much you pay though, but if you fancy your chances and don’t have a lot to stake, then shoot for one of the bigger tournaments, where the buy-ins of thousands of players are pooled together and offered to several lucky winners.

There are different themed games to play, as well as the more standard bingo. These offer something a little more and can entice new players and experienced players into playing a little longer. They also have extra bonus rounds, extra jackpots and extra ways of winning. It all boils down to choosing numbers and then waiting for them to be drawn, but there are ways that these games differ. In the Deal or no Deal game, for instance, all players get a box at the beginning of play and watch as these boxes (and their corresponding numbers) are chosen throughout. In the end the lucky winner will be left with a choice of a few boxes and their own, at which point they will be asked if they want to accept the dealer’s offer or if they want to take their chances.

Deal or no Deal is actually one of the most popular BetFair Bingo themed games. Other popular themes include Helter Skelter, The Big Wheel and House of Mirrors.

Tips

We would love to give you some tips on winning big at bingo, but unfortunately this is a game of chance and there is nothing that we can say that will help you out with that. There are ways you can improve your chances though. Firstly you should always join the big guaranteed tournaments, as these tend to include extra cash from BetFair, which means that although your chances of winning are the same, the amount you win will be much greater. You should also opt for the theme games, as bingo can get boring fast and these help to spice it up. They also create a sense of community and can incite some interesting conversation, and another way to ensure you have a good time is to get involved with this. All chat rooms are moderated and all are filled with friendly players. There is very little bitterness, anger or jealously here, just responsible adults looking to have a good time.
