What is internet bingo? Internet bingo is online bingo. Online bingo is playing bingo over the internet, sitting in the convenience of your own home and playing a game of online bingo against people from around the world.
Bingo was only played in land based bingo halls (traditional bingo halls) until the invention of the internet. It took a few years for technology and software to improve before internet bingo became reliable, more accessible and more entertaining. The rules of bingo and the prizes vary from internet bingo hall to internet bingo hall. Bingo information about the particular bingo game, rules on how to play the game and jackpots awarded for winning are usually available at each respective internet bingo website.
To play a game of internet Bingo or at a land based bingo, the player first have to buy cards with numbers on them in a 5 to 5 grid corresponding to the five letters in the word B-I-N-G-O. This may vary from internet site to internet site. Numbers are then drawn like B-2 or N-55; numbers are always drawn at random to give everyone a fair chance to win. In American bingo number can range from 0 to 75 and in British and Australian bingo numbers can range from 0 to 90, all depending on the game and the internet site. The number are then called out until someone completes the corresponding Bingo game pattern, you win a prize if you get five numbers in a vertical, horizontal or diagonal row on your bingo card.

Land based bingo hall players have thousands of unique, unduplicated cards, to choose from. Manufacturers print unduplicated series of 6,000 cards or there are also manufacturers who print series of 9,000 unduplicated cards. When you are playing an internet bingo game you can select from as many as 50,000 cards. Depending on the software, some software randomly selects cards for you. Most of the internet bingo halls allow a maximum of between 32 to 50 bingo cards in one play. Some internet bingo halls automatically assign all the players playing a specific game the same number of cards, to eliminate the advantage that other players have when they are playing with the maximum number of bingo cards.
