The rules for online bingo are quite simple to learn as there are very few of them that players need to be concerned about. There are two types of online bingo that you are most likely to come across, that played in online casinos and that played in dedicated bingo sites. Each differs in the way bets are made and in the number of cards that may be played in any one game and their respective basic rules are outlined below.

Online Casino Bingo:

To begin with, you must select the number of cards to play with from those that are presented to you by the game. The number of cards available may differ from casino to casino, although most casino games have four cards. With casino bingo games, these cards or the number of cards may be changed before the balls are released at the start of each game.

When placing your bet, this is divided between the active cards you have in play. For example if you have all four cards in play and your bet is $1, then the bet on each card is 25c.

Winnings are paid in multiples of each bet. For example, if you have two cards in play and your bet is $2 and one card wins at even money, the amount won will be $1. 

There are several variations of winning lines and each of these carries different winning odds which may vary from casino to casino. Consult the pay table at the online casino you are playing in.

All winnings are calculated automatically and each winning line is displayed on the card. If more than one winning line is achieved in a single game, the individual winning lines will be highlighted in turn. The total win for each card is printed beside the winning card.

Dedicated Online Bingo Sites:

Dedicated bingo sites will usually allow you to play with between one and over a hundred cards per game depending upon the site and whether you are playing 75 or 90 ball games.

The purchase price for cards also varies from penny cards up to $1 depending upon the game and whether you are playing 75 or 90 ball games.

Cards are purchased for the agreed amount specified by the site before any of the games begin and cannot be changed afterwards. You may also pre-buy cards for future games that are displayed on the site.

You may deposit money into your account at any time, before, during or after games are played.

Games are played automatically and there is no need to be even logged in as winners are notified via email. As with online casino bingo games, all winnings are calculated automatically and credited to your account.

When there is more than one winner in any game, the winnings are divided equally between winners. Where a physical prize is offered for any game and there is more than one winner, cash alternatives are usually offered.
