Underlined in This Tutorial
- Signing up to a new bingo site for the first time
- Confirming your email address
- Logging in and out of the new bingo site
The first important step is to choose a bingo site that you wish to join. The easiest way of doing this is to have a look around this site and read a few reviews to see which bingo site you like the sound of. Alternatively, visit the page Bingo Directory. For the following tutorial, the site Posh Bingo will be used as an example, but the principle is the same for all UK bingo sites.
Signing Up to a New Bingo Site
If you have chosen a bingo site to join via this site, click through to the bingo site via the “play now” buttons located on the review pages and other pages. You will then need to find a button or link on the bingo sites that says something such as “register”. On the below image underlined in blue you will see the link “register”. If you click that link you will be taken to a page to do just that. Usually the register button is located near the top of the screen.
On the next page, you will be asked to enter some details about yourself. This is so the site can create an account for you and verify who you are. The following information is only ever asked for once. The details you will usually be asked to enter at this point are: personal details - such as your name and DOB, your address, your contact details - such as your email address and phone number, and a user name and password - so you can sign in to the site at a later date and the site will know who you are. The information you share at this point is safe and is never distributed to anyone else.
Once you fill in all the required information and submitted the registration via the button at the bottom of the registration form you will usually be sent an email. With some sites you will need to login into your email address and click the activation link in the new email. The reason some sites make you do this is to make sure your email address is real and not a fake account that a spammer would make. Once you click the activation link you will be taken to the site again where you can login. Remember not all bingo sites require you to click an activation link in an email, but you will receive an email telling you your sign up was successful and confirming your new username and password.
Usually on your first time registering on a new bingo site the site will automatically log you in.
Logging into the Site
To login in you need to find the button or link that says “login”. Next to the login button you will see two boxes, one that says “login” and the other “password”. You will need to enter these details that you enter when you registered with the site to be able to login. It is best to write these details on a piece of paper when you first register so you do not forget them. Once you enter these, click the “login” button. See the below image. To logout simply find the button/link that says "logout".
Congratulations you have just successfully joined a bingo site, we hope it wasn't too hard. You only have to go through this process once. Before you can start to enjoy the world of online bingo, you now need to register a payment method and credit your account. Read: How to Fund Your Bingo Account for more information.
