Bingo Rules and Guidelines

Conventionally, bingo games played in halls would require you to purchase 6 bingo cards for each game and as the rules of bingo indicate, the entire 90 numbers present would appear at least one time on a card. That is useful when marking or “spotting” your cards, as you are aware that each number appears on one of the card. But, you should be fast in verifying the called numbers before the next one is called.

Online bingo games use 75 numbers. A card consisting of 5 rows and 5 columns gives 25 numbers. Some bingo sites have rules that allow the middle square specified as a free square meaning that it is considered spotted. Columns are marked with the letters: B-I-N-G-O.

This is the designation of each letter:

* B row consists of 5 numbers from 1-15
* I row consists of 5 numbers from 16-30
* N row consists of 5 numbers from 31-45
* G row consists of 5 numbers from 46-60
* O row consists of 5 numbers from 61-75

The advantage of playing online bingo is that your cards are automatically marked based on the standard bingo rules and regulations, so you will not have to be anxious about missing a digit or spotting a wrong one. The rules and regulations for online bingo are similar to the games played locally.

Balls are drawn following a specific card pattern. Once a player has acquired the pattern he will be declared as the winner. Once there are 2 or more players who won the same game, the prize will be divided by them.
