How to locate the bingo rooms
Firstly, login into your account, the login button can usually be found at the top of the page. Once you are logged in you need to press the “PLAY NOW” button to bring up the bingo lobby. The bingo lobby is the heart of a bingo sites and it is through this lobby that you will pick which bingo room you wish to play in, you will also have other games such as slots and scratchcards in the lobby to choose from as well.
On the left hand side of the lobby are little tabs: “Home”, “Free +”, “5p”,”10p”, etc. These are usually self-explanatory, 5p meaning 5p a ticket games and so on. Click on the tab you want will bring up the bingo rooms, you then click on the bingo room you wish to join.
Congratulations, you are now in an online bingo room! Before we teach you how to buy tickets you need to know how to go back and chance bingo rooms. To do this you simply look for the link at the top that says “back to lobby”.
How to purchase tickets
To buy bingo tickets you simply click on the bingo tickets you wish to purchase to highlight them (which will make them turn green) and then press the “BUY SELECTED TICKETS” button. It is that simple. Click the tickets you want to buy…and press the buy selected tickets button. You can use the buttons on the left hand side under “AUTO SELECT STRIPS” to automatically highlight strips of tickets and then press the buy selected tickets button. This saves time, especially if you are buying 10 or more bingo tickets at a time.
How the basics of the game works
Once you have bought your bingo tickets you need to wait until the timer goes to zero. Once this happens the game will begin. Numbers will be called at random which will appear on your screen, a bingo caller will call the numbers out also. If your tickets have the called numbers the automatic online software will mark the tickets for you. The first person to then bingo will appear on the screen for everyone to see. You will also notice little “3tg”, “2tg”, “1tg” symbols appear on your tickets. If you see these symbols you will know how far you are away from winning.
The autobuy feature
Most online bingo sites have an autobuy feature which will buy bingo tickets in advance for you. You are able to buy future tickets for many games which would then allow you to log off your bingo account and then come back at a later date to see if you have won. The autobuy feature is great for people who have busy lifestyles and for people who simply don’t want the tedious job of selecting and buying tickets if they know they want to play a few games in one session.
If you have followed these few tutorials correctly then you are now official an online bingo player. You can now play to your heart’s content, hopefully win money and make new friends via the chat rooms. If you wish to play on Posh Bingo visit Posh Bingo Review.
