The Fably Fun World of Online Bingo Sites!

Either you want to have fun, or you’re already having fun, at online bingo sites. And omg it can be a lot of fun! With a winwin here and a winwin there :-). And even when you’re not guest of honour at the Jackpot Party you are still chatting with friends, new and old, and collecting a few brucy bingo bonus (BB) bits along the way…

Finding your Perfect Site...

Deal or no deal: Everybody has the right to find their perfect bingo site. My favourite (when I haven't forgotten my JackpotJoy login) is the JackpotJoy Bingo website. Lovin' them Houdini slots, lovin' them Golden Balls! Love those special discounts! Lookin' forward to JackpotJoy mobile bingo! Long live the Bingo Queen!

That said, the reason I like it so much probably has more to do with the friends I've made there than the JackpotJoy vouchers and bonus codes but every little helps, right huns!

A quick word of caution: don't go confusing JackpotJoy with Jackpot City Bingo or JackpotBingo - nice bingo sights but not as sightly as the Queen!

Free Bingo Bonuses

Bonuses are free bingo cash that you can spend on buying cards for bingo games. BBs are one of the things that players pay most attention to when they compare bingo sites. Other things include the range of free bingo games and whether there is bingo for iPhone available. And some people are always chasing after the newest bingo sites with their fluttering eyelids! But for many, fably wonder chunks of free stuff is how they choose where to play. And why not?!

Big Chunks of No Deposit Bingo

The first chunk of free bingo money you need to keep an eye out for is the one with no cash needed from you up front. With this no deposit bingo bonus you can have the feel of playing online bingo and winning real money with no risk whatsoever to your bank account.

At bingo sites without deposit necessary, you will see flashy fabness like, “£10 free bingo, no deposit required”. It’s the no deposit required bit that’s important – many sites advertise free bingo money but sometimes you can’t get your bingo fingers on it until you’ve spent some money first.

The sizes of free no deposit bingo bonuses vary a lot with the biggest being £16 at RubyBingo Co UK and the smallest being £1 at many bingo websites that just want to give you a quick taster. Even £1 can be a nice little treat – it’ll get you at least 20 free bingo cards at most places of bingo on the net.

The tricksy detail to be wary of with these sites is that there will often be conditions for withdrawing money that make it difficult or impossible to actually win real money for free. But is that really a surprise?!

More Bundles of Bingo Welcome Bonuses

When you have to make a deposit to get your free bingo pounds, sites will either describe this as a percentage of the deposit you make or as a fixed amount. Or a mix. At Wink Bingo com you get at least £15, fixed, as well as 200% of your first deposit – i.e. they double it.

And UK bingos sites have a million and one different names for these bonuses: welcome bonus, starting bonus, first deposit bonus. Well there’s three anyway.

The same goes for bingo first deposit bonuses as for the no deposit needed variety. Read the terms and conditions to make sure you know how much of your winnings you can withdraw and when.

New Bingo Sites 2011 and 2012

People looking for brand new bingo sites are playing on the super-splendid basis that if you’re a new site then you need to dress to impress if you want to make a good impression. This seemed to be true in 2011, and 2012 is looking good too – new bingo sites have some of the best no deposit free bingo bonus bundles combined with flashy new ideas. A gr8 example is the free fiver from webcam bingo innovator, BingoCams. In 2011 we also had the first iPhone bingo app from Mecca Bingo co uk.

I would expect the new bingo sites 2012 brings to do more of the same – more new BB bundles, more jackpot bingo juiciness and brilliant new funtime fabulousness on the side :). And more mobile phone bingo games too.

Bingo with PayPal and Sites that Take Ukash

Occasionally, the one thing that is more crucial than any other is how you want to pay for your online bingo game. Two popular ways that not all website offer are Ukash and PayPal.

Bingo sites that accept Ukash vouchers give players the chance to play online bingo for money without giving anyone anywhere any information about any bank accounts they have had ever :D. And if you have ever had the feeling that someone is watching you only to find out that someone really is watching you then you’ll understand why that might be important!

Meanwhile, to play bingo pay with PayPal means that players can give banking details to one trustworthy account manager and never have to worry about them again. Which also sounds nice!

Play Bingo For Fun!

Finally, after talking so much about bingo with sign up bonuses and sites that take PayPal it feels important to remind ourselves that the main reason we are playing is to have a huge pile of fun! So maybe the best advice anyone can give you is to relax, get chatting and respect your fellow online bingo roomies.
