Online Bingo Tips

At True Blue Casinos it’s the time to learn what seasoned bingo veterans already know. The game of bingo is steeped in rules, variations, and rituals. If you are a first time player you will probably be a bit confused when you start out and definitely need some help getting into the swing of things. Now, if you are playing in a physical centre, there are other things you need to be concerned about, but for now, you can play at a computer and still need some help getting started online. These tips are here to do just that.

How to Play Online Bingo

Most people are worried about the prospect of playing bingo online because they know that the internet is full of hackers, and of course, their biggest concern is that someone will steal their credit card information. However, if you observe simple rules, then bingo online does not have to pose a security risk. Moreover you can enjoy pokies online with the same limited risks.

Make sure, first and foremost, that the website is a legitimate one. Some websites might have otherwise shady characters who are going to try and take advantage of you one way of the other. There are other websites which are entirely disorganized and you will have trouble sorting through the password requirements, the registration numbers, even the web pages. Add to that the fact that even if you get a prize, your web masters might be so disorganized that you don’t see it for months on end.

The downside here is that you will not find an online Bingo version of the BBB, so you need to exercise caution. There shouldn’t be problems with the free sites that let you play without money, but the sites where you are playing or real money need to be reputable ones. You can start, before you deposit money, by reading message boards. Look online to see if other people have comments about being ripped off. Check Bingo Bugle, which is a website that lets people report problems they have had with online games.

Never give out your password. This is an important one. Pick something unique that will protect your account. You do not want something that can be easily uncovered by a friend, family member, or recent acquaintance knows very little about you but just enough to socially engineer your password. This means nothing that contains information like your name, your address, date of birth, where you live, things like that. In fact the most secure password you could possibly create for anything including this is a random string of for or more words completely unrelated. Most people think that they can secure something by substituting letters in a word or a name with symbols for numbers but these can be easily uncovered by packing systems and are in fact some of the first things they look for. What they won’t be able to engineer is, again, random string of four words or more.

Exercise caution. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. If you find a website that promises big money, don’t give out your credit card number. You can find horror stories online about people whose prices never aligned with what they were promised, or in worst cases, the only thing they wanted was a complete drain of their bank account.

One thing you should do with the onset is to look for free games and get your welcome package before you use them. Stick to websites that have a lot of traffic and promise fun for prices. If a website offers free games then you don’t have to invest anything while you are determining how viable the website is.

Learning the lingo

When you find a good bingo game to play online you might be confused by what looks like a soup spilling out of the chat area. Most websites will have a chat area and many people are socializing and using short can to do so. So, take a look at some of the common abbreviations that you might come across:

Seventy three, or really any other number. If you see someone a number with nothing else into the chat area, then that is typically the number they need to and as such they are letting people know or they are simply hoping for good luck.

If you see “pls” written anywhere, that means someone is probably close to winning a jackpot and they might simply want good luck for whatever number they need.

If you want to wish them that luck, you can type “gl” which means “good luck”.

If someone wins and you want to congratulate the other players, you can type “gj” or “wtg”. The first means “good job” while the second means “way to go”.

Should someone else congratulate you on a job well done, you can always respond with “tyvm”, to show gratitude with a “thank you very much”.

A big surprise to many beginners is how often they just kind of proverbially swap or had they missed an opportunity to fill in one of their squares professionals however keep the missed calls to a minimum because of their mental skills and concentration. It simply becomes second nature. So, in order to cultivate some of the same skills, start by ignoring the numbers on the left side of your square. By reading the numbers on the card backwards you actually save yourself some time if, for example, the number that is called is B12, you should scan the right-hand side of your B line for anything that ends in two. If you see one then glanced to the left for a 1.

Pay close attention to the pattern. It can be somewhat tricky to keep up with the information while also checking for patterns. It is actually quite common for a beginner to not realize it.
