Play Bingo Responsibly

Bingo is sometimes not considered to be a responsible game. After all when you play bingo you are wagering money on a minimal chance to win. This doesn’t detract from the game however, for many of the players. Instead this seems to be part of the challenge. Unfortunately there are times where gambling online anywhere can become an addiction. Bingo is typically not seen as the topmost gambling addiction, but there are still some responsible bingo gaming tips we can offer to help you avoid this potential problem.
These tips are going to help you be more aware of the bingo games that you are playing, to help you wager better and more effectively. You should also keep in mind your overall monthly online bingo budget, this way you should find it easy to keep track of how much you spend, and to not to spend more than you can afford when you play bingo online.
The first and most important tip to play bingo responsibly, is to set your wagering limits. Before you start to play bingo, you should choose an amount that you are comfortable with to play with. Bingo games have varying ticket prices, you can find games that start from as little as 1p a ticket, or bigger jackpot bingo games with tickets priced around the £1 mark. If £1 is too much for you, then you should be checking out the smaller bingo game, so that you don’t go over your bingo budget.
Please also keep in mind that some bingo games might state that the ticket price is just £1, but there is a minimum purchase of 5 tickets, which means that you’re having to fork out £5 instead of just £1. So if you’re struggling with the rest of us under the state of the economy at the moment, it makes very good sense to stick to the lower priced bingo rooms and play bingo games that you can afford. This is a very responsible attitude, and if you stick to this basic rule you should not go astray.
Another important tip for helping you to play bingo responsibly, is to keep an eye on your account history. You’ll find that most, if not all, online bingo sites keep records of your bingo game play and also of your deposits and cashouts to and from your online bingo account. Keep tabs on how much you spend playing bingo online a week, a month, and then work out if the amount is easily affordable, or should you be cutting back slightly, or even a lot? It’s important to monitor your bingo account history regularly to keep track of your spending, and then you can easily adjust as you go along, to find a balance that suits you best.
The last tip on playing bingo online responsibly is simply to play bingo games as a hobby. Do not look upon your bingo games as a way to earn money. Don’t think that the massive bingo jackpots that you see advertised all over the bingo sites have your name on them. Bingo is a form of gambling, and though you can have some great runs of luck as with all gambling games, it will never become something that you can depend upon to pay your bills. Bingo players do get lucky all the time, however the chances of winning a big bingo jackpot are relatively small. So if you maintain the right attitude, and keep playing bingo online as a hobby and an enjoyable pasttime when you can relax and chat to your bingo buddies while you play bingo, this is the best attitude you can have, and will keep you out of trouble.

My lucky number on my lucky day

I tried my luck today with my lucky number, I bought tickets with 12 on them. I just stopped playing some minutes before, I won quite a nice amount and I know when to stop. Thank you Horoscope!

Let's watch this game on Sunday:

WINKBINGO.COM LAUNCHES EXCLUSIVE 'PLAY OFF' BETWEEN NORTH AND SOUTH TO WIN A MINI COOPER

Wink Bingo is proud to announce that for the first time ever, two dedicated bingo fans will decide their own fate by choosing their own lucky numbers to take part in an online bingo 'play off' for a chance to speed off in a brand new Mini Cooper.

People will be able to log on to Winkbingo.com at 8:30pm on Sunday 22nd February to watch the North South divide as Joanna Kane from Werneth, Oldham in Lancashire and Christine Tulley from Toot Hill, Swindon in Wiltshire battle it out for a brand new set of wheels.

Joanna, 36 and mum of two, couldn't believe her luck when she was told she was one of the two joint winners out of 8,000 players who took part in Winkbingo.com's Mini Cooper bingo game on New Year's Day. "I've never won anything in my life," gushed Joanna, "luck just doesn't happen to me, but if I play with my lucky numbers 9 and 11 on Sunday, the day I passed my driving test and my kids' birthdays, I may be proven wrong!"

Joanna originally fell in love with Winkbingo.com last October and hasn't looked back. "Winkbingo.com gives me the perfect opportunity to take a break from work, house-hold chores and the kids," says Joanna, "especially since I can play in the comfort of my own living room. Winkbingo.com's chat hosts are really friendly and their individual games are great fun too, I've even made some great new friends."

Christine Tulley, 51, mum of two and grandma of three had been playing for six months - she was often on a winning streak winning a string of small prizes which really spurred her on to keep playing, so much so that she too became an overjoyed winner out of 8,000 players, in the New Years Day Mini Cooper game. I always believed that magic could happen to me at Winkbingo.com, says Christine, "let's just hope the tarot reader who gave me my lucky numbers, 1,7, 8, 17, 35 and 44 really is for real and I may just get to win the Mini Cooper in Sunday's game!"

Christine has been a fan of online bingo ever since she began working at the local bingo hall where she remained for 15 years. "It's expensive to go to bingo halls now though" says Christine, "and why bother when you can stay at home and have even more fun playing bingo online with Winkbingo.com? It's such a fun and friendly site and really easy to use too. I feel secure with Winkbingo.com and love the fact that I can chat so much to other bingo fans too."

Whether choosing to don their heels and coats to play their favourite game in bingo halls or choosing to relax in their pyjamas and slippers to play online, up until now bingo players have been given a card full of numbers and their chance of shouting "full house" has been left entirely to lady luck.

Maurice Karpes, Marketing Director at Winkbingo.com says, "The fact that we are allowing our two lucky players to choose their own numbers and play a part in their own fate makes our exclusive Mini Cooper game so exciting. We've also created a way for friends and family to watch so that they can offer their support, we're sure other bingo fans will be interested too - may the luckiest player win!"
