Many play online bingo on a daily basis, while they generally only play land-based bingo once a week. It is also often easier for players to play from the comfort of their homes.

Online Bingo Myth 3: Players who win all the time have ‘beaten the system’.

Players who win a lot often buy many cards and play a lot of games. They usually make bigger deposits as well, to ensure that their accounts are funded. Online bingo is a game of chance, and aside from buying more cards and playing often, there are no sure ways to win bingo.

Online Bingo Myth 4: Online bingo is a security risk.

Almost every online bingo site has specialized programs to ensure that all transactions are secure. Payment software such as NETeller allows players to make deposits without putting their financial details at risk. Advanced technology ensures that online bingo is as safe as land-based bingo.

Online Bingo Myth 5: Online bingo has no social benefits.

While players may not get drinks and snacks when they play at online bingo sites, they can still meet fellow players. Features like schedule buying options and chat features enable players to spend time chatting, as they do not need to call bingo on their cards. Chat has become an integral part of online bingo, and players get to know one another really well.

The reality of online bingo is that it is just as much of an experience as land-based bingo, in fact it has even more to offer as players can play from home. It offers something for everyone.
