Online Bingo

Is there anyone who hasn't played bingo, or at least seen the game played? Probably not. Of course, like many other gaming-related activities, bingo takes on something of a different life on the internet. It is offered as something that can be played at a faster pace, and with an element of community created by the technology.

Online Bingo for Canadian Players

Until the internet came along, the game of bingo was associated almost completely with big and small bingo halls and old ladies who sat around and played their cards with the other old ladies.

There has been something of a change in that regard as the game has come online. It's not that the older demographic has been counted out, or that the game was not accessible before, but the game of bingo, as it is played online, has something of a sexier ring to it.

When you go to a bingo hall to play, you really can't talk during the game. That's because there is an announcer calling out the balls as they are drawn, and you really need to hear that. When you're playing online bingo, you don't have to worry about that, because you are watching the numbers being drawn on your computer screen, and more likely than not, the program itself, which is run by a random number generator (RNG), will be marking your card automatically.

So ingeniously, the online game, in which all the players are in different locations, actually finds a way to bring more community to it, in a sense, anyway, and that is  by establishing chat that is open at all times. In fact, chat is so important in the online bingo culture that each of the sites has a number of chat monitors, also known as CM's, who act as hosts for the players. This is a very easy going, friendly atmosphere, and the CM's help make that so.

You'll be able to play just about all the different bingo games and bingo patterns you can play in a land-based poker room, except this is going to be happening in a lot bigger room, that's all. Tournaments are very common, and they are dynamite. And you will generally be using the 75-ball version that is used in North America.

Like a lot of casinos, you have a couple of different formats you can use. You can download bingo software that is readily available, or you can play through the browser, using a version that is based on Java or Flash and does require any downloading.

Canadians can use some of the same deposit methods they are able to use with online casinos. These include credit cards like Visa and MasterCard and electronic wallets like Click2Pay, ClickAndBuy, UseMyBank and InstaDebit.

You may never go to a land-based bingo hall again!
