Useful Tips for New Online Bingo Players

New online bingo players, even if they are quite used to playing bingo offline can find it more than a little daunting when they first decide to give Internet bingo a shot, whatever site they choose to play at, and there are certainly a lot of different sites to choose from!

That is actually perfectly understandable. There is often so much information right there on the first page of any bingo site it can be hard to know where to start, let alone how to give yourself the best chance of actually scoring a win. Here then are a few tips and tricks for newbie online bingo players:

Choose Your Deposit Method Wisely

All online bingo sites offer a wide range of different deposit and withdrawal options. The easiest of all used to be credit cards but bank regulations are making it harder for some players to use their cards at online casinos. E wallet services do tend to be a better choice these days, just make sure before setting up an account that you will be able to withdraw your funds using this method as well as deposit them.

Read the Fine Print on Bonuses

Often it is the great sounding bonuses available that will lead a new online bingo player to choose one site to play at over another. Some of the largest of these bonuses are very hard to clear though. Before you take advantage of any bonus read through all the terms and conditions carefully. If you are never going to play enough games to clear a big bonus you would be better off opting for a smaller one that it will actually be possible for you to take advantage of!

Play for Fun First

Before you ever deposit any of your own money get used to the online bingo gaming concept in general by playing some no money, just for fun games first. Then, when you are ready there are in fact a growing number of sites that offer a welcome bonus that you can use to get started in real money bingo, so you can use theirs before you have to use your own!

Choose the Least Crowded Room

If you try to start playing online bingo in a very crowded room then you may very well come unstuck. Crowded means very popular and you are likely to be in the company of a lot of far more seasoned, and savvy, players than you are just yet. Stick to the less crowded rooms as you learn and work your way up to the bigger ones.

Chat to Learn

Every online bingo site offers a chat facility of some kind and if you are a new online bingo player you should make use of it to do more than just say hello. Online bingo players, despite the fact that they are in competition with each other are also usually a very friendly bunch and if you ask for help and advice via chat you will almost always find a more experienced player willing to help you.

Tips for Improving your Chances of Hitting a Progressive Online Bingo Jackpot

The progressive jackpots offered at many online bingo halls can be really pretty large and certainly the thought of winning one is an idea that would appeal to any player. When newer bingo players begin playing the one question they often ask more experienced players is what can they do to improve their chances of winning a progressive online bingo jackpot?

Whatever anyone might tell you, there really is no such thing as a magic formula or a system that can make you a better bingo player. There are however some things you can do though that may improve your chances of hitting it big:

Make sure you are actually playing a jackpot game

Not every game that is on offer at an online bingo site is actually one that will offer a chance to win the house jackpot. That is why it is important to read all of 'the small print' before you buy tickets to play in an online bingo game that you have not before so that you know just what you are playing for.

Play at Less Crowded Times

The more people there are in a game the less likely it is that you have a great chance of actually winning the jackpot. Weekends are usually the busiest times at most online bingo sites and the early evenings can be busier to.

Play More than One Card

The 'art' of playing more than one card at the same time will take a little while for a new online bingo player to master, but when they do having the ability to do that will significantly increase their chances of scoring a big win.
