eCOGRA Certified Online Bingo Halls

Posted on November 20 by Bingo Surfer in bingo No Comments
Home» bingo » eCOGRA Certified Online Bingo Halls

It’s reassuring to know that regulatory bodies such as eCOGRA are now starting to recognize online bingo halls and give them the credit they deserve after several years in the industry.
Online bingo is a relatively recent addition to the online gaming industry, although, some online bingo halls have been around for a number of years, for example; Bingo.com, was established way back in 1999! That’s a decade ago!
News that both Platinum Play Bingo and All Bingo Club have both received their ‘Play it Safe’ eCOGRA seals of approval, is an indicator that online bingo is finally getting the recognition it deserves and is finally being taken seriously by the regulatory bodies within the online world.
The reasons behind online bingo halls not receiving eCOGRA seals of approval in recent times are not known, it may have something to do with Industry fat cats believing online Bingo would be just a fad. At least this distorted view has now been put to rest, so online bingo sites can receive the acknowledgment they clearly deserve.
All Bingo Club and Platinum Play Bingo sites are now proud bearers of the eCOGRA seal of approval. In time hopefully many more online bingo halls will follow suit, although the certifying process is a long and drawn out procedure.
The levels of competitiveness in today’s online bingo industry coupled with the 2005 Gambling Act legislation, have meant that strict laws have been put in place that all online bingo halls must abide by. Failure to comply with the strict regulations will not necessarily damage the bingo business, but it is illegal, and won’t go unpunished.
Although we applaud the decision to start awarding seals of approval to commendable online bingo sites by eCOGRA, it has been a well known fact that All Bingo Club and Platinum Play Bingo, plus many others within the industry, were already overqualified for the seals, but just hadn’t been awarded one due to unknown circumstances.
Another great way to find out about the array of commendable bingo sites within the industry is by visiting http://www.expertbingo.co.uk who not only provide comprehensive reviews of all the major online bingo halls within the industry but also review the side games (slots etc.), software as well as hosting a wealth of related online bingo content for example; a free bingo cash section, BOGOF bingo diary, free bingo diary, bingo calls, bingo game schedule plus loads more.

Did you know that …

... there are two types of bingo played around the world?

North America plays 75-ball bingo on a 5x5 card with the centre square usually marked 'free'. In the UK, parts of Europe, Australia and parts of South America they play a 90-ball game, marked on a 9x3 card. Both types of bingo are prominent online.

Unlike balls used in regular bingo halls, online bingo sites use a random number generator. The online bingo play works almost exactly like playing online poker or online casino games with everything being virtual. Most bingo halls also offer links to online poker and casino offerings. One notable feature of online bingo is the chat functionality that gives the opportunity to interact with other players.

Useful Tips

If you are going to try online bingo for the first time look for the best no deposit bingo and free bingo sites. Experience the game with the calm deriving from the awareness that you are not risking your own money, nevertheless you can win some good bucks.

Progressive jackpot bingo games offer high value cash prizes. The jackpot is accumulated over a period of time, often taken from payments made to play smaller games. Usually as each new card pattern emerges, the pattern will have a number defining the amount of calls needed to claim the Jackpot. If players obtain a Bingo in this amount of calls or less then they will win the Progressive Jackpot. But rules are different for the different online bingo halls, so check before playing.
