A Guide to Playing Online General Bingo
Online bingo is similar to land based bingo in many ways. There are many websites present on the internet offering online bingo. Though there are many different versions of online bingo, the general bingo is the 75-ball version.
Before registering with a website offering online bingo, one should make sure that the website is not a scam site. One way of doing this is to check for testimonials of people who have played the game in that site. A person can also provide the URL address of the website to a scam detecting website. If the site is a scam, the person will be immediately notified.
After making sure that the site is genuine, a person should register with the website. Usually the person will have to pay an initial deposit in order to open an account. After paying the initial deposit, a sign-up bonus will usually be credited to the player's account. A sign-up bonus is usually lower than the total initial deposit and can only be betted on the game (this means that it cannot be withdrawn).
There are two types of bingo software; download based and web-browser based. Download based software requires the player to download the whole software once into the player's computer. This initial download process is slow, but the speed of the game after that will be faster. Web-browser based software doesn't need to be downloaded, but the game speed will be slower.
The game uses software to decide the sequence of numbers. This software produces random results (just like land based bingo). The software will mark the players' cards according to the sequence of numbers drawn. When a player wins the game, the winnings will be deposited in the player's account. The winnings can only be cashed out when the player's account reaches the minimum payout amount.
