Quick Guide for the new Online Bingo Player

You have seen the advertisements and received many emails about online bingo and have decided you would like to give it a try. Now the decisions: Where, why and how much? Below is a quick guide to aid you in your decision making.

Security – Does the bingo site offer a secure site with which to make your deposits? Do they offer the opportunity to “opt-out” of receiving mailings?

Deposit methods – Does the bingo site offer numerous deposit methods that you are able to use? If your credit card is rejected due to your banks restrictions, are there other depositing options available to you to use and have access to immediate funds?

Download or Flash – Does the site offer only a download version of the game (which takes time) or do they offer a flash or java version which you can immediately access.

Deposit Bonus – What kind of bonus will you receive on your initial deposit? Will the bonus be given as soon as you deposit or will you need to wait a period of time before it becomes available to you?

Deposit Bonus penalties – Once you receive a deposit bonus, what are the penalties associated with it? Will you have to wager x amount of times before your withdrawal is available? If you win and want to withdraw, will your bonus be removed? If you win a jackpot and want to withdraw, will your bonus be taken as well?

Chat games – Are there chat games played to reap extra bonus? If so, are they played most hours?

Credibility – Does the bingo site have good reviews on the internet? What kinds of statements have been said about the bingo site?

Easy Withdrawel – If you win, is it easy to withdraw your money? Are you charged for receiving your own money? If you are charged, are you reimbursed in some means such as bonus bucks?

Fast Withdrawel – How long will it take to get your withdrawal? Most online bingo sites will pay out withdrawals in 24-48 hours.

All of the above are questions that you, the new bingo player, need to learn before depositing funds into your bingo account. It looks like a lot of work but it truly isn’t. Most online bingo sites will offer all of the information needed. If you need to go outside of the bingo site to find the answers, let this be a red flag. A good place to start is the FAQ’s on each bingo site. Often times, most of the answers to your questions can be found there.

Another thing to look for at online bingo sites is a “free trial”. A free trial will allow the new player bingo a few games to take a peek at what the site is like. If you use a “free trial” and like what you see, then make a deposit as a “free trial” is just that. It is free meaning any winnings derived from your free cards will not be withdrawable.
