Looking for USA Online Bingo?

While there are a large number of online bingo sites that cater to the UK market, there are also a number that specifically cater to players from the USA.

Most online bingo rooms offer a similar experience. The key to finding one that will be fun and rewarding for you is to follow these simple steps:

Players - Find a bingo site with a good number of active players. This means that there will always be plenty of players in the games and lots of fun chat.
Chat - Find a bingo site that has a good chat community, chat games and nice chat mods. Chat games can make playing online bingo even more fun. And if a bingo site has a friendly chat community then you will have lots of fun and feel comfortable. This is what makes online bingo so much fun as you are not supposed to talk in live bingo halls.
Games - Make sure you find a bingo site that offers the types of bingo games that you want to play and at prices that you are comfortable paying.
Look and Ease of Use - make sure that the bingo site that you want to play at looks nice to you and is easy to use. There is nothing worse than being frustrated by annoying colours or hard to use navigation when trying to have fun playing bingo.

US online bingo sites will often offer bingo games that are more familiar and common to players from the USA, such as 75 ball bingo. But they will also offer other types of bingo games, such as 90 ball bingo, 80 ball bingo or even 30 ball speed bingo. These online bingo rooms will also allow players to use US dollars as the currency for depositing and buying tickets. They will also offer promotions and bonuses specially designed for US players.

Here at UK-Bingo.com, as our name would suggest, we mostly cater for UK bingo players. However, if you are looking for information on US online bingo then we suggest that you try OnlineGambling.com. OnlineGambling.com can help you find trusted online bingo sites with their reviews, bonus details and recommendations.

888Ladies Backing Off Cashcade Deal

Amber | UK-Bingo.com — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 23:47:44 +0000

888.com, the parent company of 888Ladies, has decided not to go ahead in a purchase of Cashcade, the parent company of Foxy Bingo, Cheeky Bingo, and several other online bingo halls.

Gigi Levy of 888.com has announced that while 888.com could acquire the funding to afford an acquisition of Cashcade, they have decided not to, as other companies are willing to pay more.

“We had bank financing for the acquisition, we just didn’t want to pay the price they were asking for,” said Mr Levy. “888 is interested in Cashcade, but there are other companies that are more interested in it and are willing to pay more for it.”

Rumours have circulated that 888.com simply has not been able to raise the funds necessary to acquire Cashcade. Mr Levy’s remarks suggest otherwise, but there are valid concerns about whether this has been a forced move, as 888 control over Cashcade would certainly be in their interests. Cashcade sites have been a major source of the liquidity of 888’s Globalcom division, so changes to Cashcade’s operation might adversely affect 888.

Huge Mecca Bingo Jackpot Win

Amber | UK-Bingo.com — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 05:24:02 +0000

A player at Mecca Bingo recently won a jackpot of £1.2 million, the largest jackpot ever to be won at the Mecca Bingo website.

While playing the Clover Rollover mini slots game during a game of bingo, the lucky winner hit the progressive jackpot by getting 5 lucky shamrocks on a payline. It was an incredible amount to win, much more than what was on offer for the bingo game she had been playing simultaneously.

“I’m absolutely thrilled to have won the jackpot,” said the winner, a Cumbrian woman who does not wish to be named. “I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the five lucky shamrocks in a row, especially since I’ve only been playing the game for a few weeks.”

Asked about what she intends to do with such a huge jackpot, the winner is undecided.

“It’s all been such a shock that I haven’t decided what to do with the money yet, but I’ll certainly be buying my pet dog a few treats after using her name as my online sign-in. And maybe now I’ll change her name to Lucky now!”

Lucky, indeed.

It’s early days for online bingo yet, so the jackpots are only likely to get bigger as more and more people join. Mecca Bingo is proud to have given away such a massive prize and hopes to attract new players to help those jackpots grow even faster. For your chance to win check out Mecca Bingo.

How to play 80 Ball Bingo

Amber | UK-Bingo.com — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 05:59:24 +0000

80 ball bingo is a fairly new creation that benefits from speed. In live bingo halls, it is played using a card with shutters that can be pulled across the numbers as they are called. Online, the numbers are simply marked off in the style of the software being used.

80 ball bingo cards use a 4 by 4 grid, with each column containing numbers from a particular range of the 80 balls to be drawn. The first column has numbers from 1 to 20, the second column has numbers from 21 to 40, the third column has numbers from 41 to 60, and the final column has numbers from 61 to 80.

The victory conditions of 80 ball bingo can vary, often due to whether the bingo hall is influenced more by 90 ball bingo or 75 ball bingo. For instance, some 80 ball bingo games will play like 90 ball bingo, with wins declared when a Line has been formed or a Full House. 80 ball bingo is faster, though, as a Line can be formed horizontally, vertically, or diagonally out of just 4 numbers, and Full House only requires 16 numbers.

80 ball bingo more influenced by 75 ball bingo will usually use similar winning conditions, with players having to mark off a pattern on the ticket in order to win. These patterns can be as simple as just the four corners, the four middle squares, a combination of both, or some other design.

Play continues until a winner is declared by the dictated rules or all 80 balls have been drawn.

Playing 80 Ball Bingo

80 ball bingo is still in its infancy, but it is growing in popularity and is now featured at many online bingo halls. Playing 80 ball bingo at online bingo halls is advantageous over playing at live venues, as online play takes maximum advantage of the speed of 80 ball bingo.

To play 80 ball bingo online, you will need to find a bingo site that offers it. Due to its growing popularity, many bingo sites make a point of advertizing that they feature 80 ball bingo. Once you have chosen an online bingo hall to play at, you will need to sign up for an account and organize a means of depositing money.

Many bingo sites accept credit cards, but if you have issues with this, there are many other options available such as e-wallets. NETeller, Moneybookers and Click2Pay are common e-wallet options, and they can all provide secure and fast transfers of funds.

Playing at online bingo halls may require you to download software, but many bingo halls offer an online play option. Specific software often provides richer features, but online play is usually accessible from any computer that can connect to the Internet.

Once you have signed in with a funded account, you can start playing 80 ball bingo online! Simply navigate the lobby of the site you have chosen and choose a game of 80 ball bingo to buy tickets for. After you have purchased all the tickets you want, you just wait until the game starts.

As you play 80 ball bingo, the numbers called will be marked off for you automatically. Some sites allow players to mark off their own numbers with a click, but wins are automatically declared regardless of whether the player has marked off their winning numbers or not. This means that players can freely participate in the chat while playing 80 ball bingo.

80 ball bingo is a very fast game with its small grid of numbers, so you can play many more games per hour than in varieties like 90 ball bingo and 75 ball bingo. This is great for people who don’t have much time to get their bingo in, but people who are playing for long periods of time may find their bingo balance quickly diminishing if they don’t quickly score a win. Regardless, there is a lot of excitement in playing 80 ball bingo, so be sure to check out the online bingo halls that feature 80 ball bingo in our listings.

How to play 30 Ball Bingo

Amber | UK-Bingo.com — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 05:52:54 +0000

30 ball bingo is also known as speed bingo, as it is an incredibly fast game. With only 30 numbers to be drawn and only 9 numbers featured on a 30 ball bingo ticket, games take very little time.

A 30 ball bingo ticket has a 3 by 3 grid of numbers, so the only way to win is by getting Full House. As with other forms of bingo, each column contains numbers from a particular range, to make marking off tickets easier. In speed bingo, the first column ranges numbers 1 to 10, the second column from 11 to 20, and the third column from 21 to 30.

Due to how fast the game moves, the automatic marking off of numbers in online 30 ball bingo can be exceptionally helpful. Many players buy more tickets than usual when playing speed bingo, so if you think you’ll follow suit, online bingo halls are the way to go.

30 ball bingo games continue until a winner has been declared or all 30 balls have been called.

Playing 30 Ball Speed Bingo

The best way to play 30 ball bingo is online, as it takes full advantage of the speed of this exciting bingo variant. While some live bingo halls may offer 30 ball bingo, the frequency of the games is often slowed down by longer periods of organization. Playing 30 ball bingo online allows for more tickets to be played at once, in a shorter time, and thus allows players to play more games every hour.

To start playing 30 ball bingo online, you will first need to join a bingo site that offers the game. Not all bingo sites do, so be sure to look through the selection of games on offer before depositing money at a bingo site. Once you have made a decision, you may need to download any relevant software before you can begin playing.

After you have joined a bingo site, you must fund your account. This can be done by credit card, or using e-wallets such as NETeller, Click2Pay or Moneybookers. Bingo sites will often offer bonuses on first deposits, which can sometimes double the money you deposit. Be sure to take advantage of these offers and read the terms and conditions to figure out exactly what you need to do to claim them.

30 ball bingo takes very little time per game, so it is a good idea to choose a fast deposit method in order to minimize the time that your bingo playing might be interrupted. Credit card details are heavily protected by bingo sites, so you need not fear what trusted bingo sites will do with your financial details.

For help in choosing which bingo site you would enjoy playing 30 ball bingo at, please peruse our reviews of online bingo halls and check out what our sponsors can offer you for playing 30 ball bingo.

Bingo Player Misses Out On Win In Live Bingo Hall

Amber | UK-Bingo.com — Wed, 13 May 2009 23:58:37 +0000

A bingo player has recently lost out on a £1,000 bingo win when the caller did not hear her call ‘bingo’ before the next number was called. This is always a potential problem at live bingo halls, as callers may not be paying enough attention to catch a call of ‘bingo’ before moving on.

Elaine Prendergast, a 63-year-old player at a live Gala Bingo hall, was the victim of this unfortunate mistake, but the rules of live bingo halls mean that she is unlikely to see her £1,000 jackpot. She says that she called ‘bingo’ early and loudly, with other players and the bingo steward backing her up, but the protocols of live bingo insist that claims are void once the caller has moved on.

Ms. Prendergast intends to take this to the Gambling Commission. It is likely that they will not even deign to investigate, however, as the bingo hall was following the correct protocols by not paying her out after the next number was called. As proving that she called ‘bingo’ before the next number is probably impossible, the Gambling Commission is unlikely to take on a losing case.

While this sort of thing is always a possibility at live bingo halls, it cannot and will not happen at online bingo halls. At online bingo halls, tickets are always marked off automatically and calls are made as soon as one of the player’s tickets has scored ‘bingo’. While players can often still mark off tickets manually, the software is always keeping track of each ticket to make sure the player never misses out. This lets players play many more tickets in every game and ensures they will never lose a prize owed to them due to caller errors.

Now is the best time to get a start in online bingo in order to avoid the problems of live bingo halls that Ms. Prendergast faced. Why risk £1,000 or even more of the money you are entitled to from a win by playing at live bingo halls? Join one of the online bingo halls featured on this site to begin a life of bingo bliss!
