Online Bingo

Welcome to OnlineBingo.eu.com!

Welcome to the home of the safest and the best online bingo sites in the land; where you will find the very best of British bingo and the best of European too. When it comes to online bingo games there are a number of variants to choose from, and these to a small degree, are governed by specific tastes. This is where explicitly UK or European facing sites differ to a degree. We discuss these variations in depth a little later on; but the best thing about ALL online bingo – right across the globe; is that it is fun to play and can be very lucrative in terms of winning prizes for very small wagers. So, let's get on with the fun stuff shall we?

Online Bingo in General

Although online bingo in Europe has not grown at the same pace as it has in the UK, this is beginning to change as new markets become de-regulated for online gambling activities. Spain is the home to a massively growing bingo market and online bingo is popularly played in the Netherlands as well as Scandinavian countries.

In the UK however; online bingo has evolved to be a hugely sophisticated market and players in Great Britain know what they are looking for and what they can get for their money – we know and acknowledge this.

After starting in the US around 1998, online bingo moved to the UK market and as we are all massive bingo fans in the British Isles; it did not take long for us to get the hint and for this game to catch fire here. Once the old dial up modems were replaced by ADSL and high speed broadband, the sky became the limit for all UK players, and hundreds of online bingo sites were launched one after another... and are still launching today. This makes it close to nearly impossible to choose a winning site for our needs. This is where "Online Bingo Sites - Safe and Good UK Online Bingo Rooms" comes to the rescue. We sorts the wheat from the chaff, and make sure that both new and experienced online bingo players get the very best sites, most up to date news and reviews, as well as the best bang for their bucks, and where to find the most fun.

Online Bingo Game Variants

There are two main variants of popularly played online bingo; these are 75-ball and 90-ball bingo. While the 75-ball variant of the game is most significantly played in some European countries and is the big winner in the USA and Canada; 90-ball bingo is definitely Britain's darling. The fabulous thing about online bingo is that cultural swaps take place, and both of these games are now globally enjoyed bingo games – it's all just a matter of taste as to what we choose to play.

When a game of 75-ball bingo is too short and a 90-ball game is too long; virtually every UK bingo site, offers 80 ball bingo. This used to be called "seaside" or "shutter-board" bingo in days-gone-by when there was no online bingo. Today we play online too with 80 balls and the game is generally "pattern" bingo. For another variation, we play 30-ball or speed bingo – this is a really fast game of bingo, so players can cram more winning opportunities in to far less time. Great for those lunch-time breaks, when you shouldn't be playing online bingo at your desk in the office – but we won't tell if you don't.

Some very specialized sites offer variations on 75 and 90 ball bingo too, and even 50 ball bingo. For example we now find Spanish bingo, 75-25 Swedish Bingo, Scandinavian Bingo and other unique variations such as Bingo Roulette™, Joker Jackpot Bingo, Deal or No Deal Bingo™, Price is Right Bingo™, Blockbuster Bingo™, Britain's Got Talent Bingo™, Bubble-wrap Bingo™, and the brand new product from Virtue Fusion – Lucky Numbers Bingo™. While these are only some of the variations we find, what we also find when we play bingo online is the massively popular chat game. Chat games play consecutively to the bingo game playing, and they can win members of sites a whole lot of free bingo bucks; often even real cash.

Bingo and Slots

Let's not forget the slots games when we play at online bingo sites; every bingo player and then some likes playing slots. The choices are amazing the games are absolutely stunning and many sites have games linked up to massive networked progressive prizes. Just last year (from the time of writing) on the 24th December 2010, one lucky player landed a £3.9 million prize from playing Clover Rollover – look out for these games too.

Online Bingo Security

Security has always posed a huge (?) for online bingo players as well as other online gamblers – although bingo is really a "soft-gambling" activity; money still changes hands. As all old hands in this game will tell you, security is fabulous and rarely do players have problems. However, someone just telling you, and you knowing about the technology behind the security are two entirely different things. While we don't want to bore you with too many technical details – this is the basic gist of things.

Financial transactions and other sensitive material which passes from player to online bingo site are transacted under secure conditions – called "multi-firewall" technology. This is the same security used by traditional banking houses which offer their customers online banking facilities. Security is displayed by security certificate – most often Verisign or Thawte; they in-turn use 128-bit SSL (Single Socket Layer) or 256-bit SSL to ensure transactional security. Additional security may also be taken advantage by use of alternative payment methods. Personal information is stored in secure servers, generally off-site from the general working population of an online bingo site, and is never sold to third parties. In fact online bingo site, jealously guard the identities of their loyal players. It does not pay to give away or even sell hard-won custom' bearing this in mind, we only refer our member to the absolute most secure sites.

Online Bingo Bonuses

As if it were not enough for us to enjoy really good value for money when we play online bingo, it is also possible to play bingo online and win real cash money for free; but that's just the beginning. We also get to take advantage of some of the best bingo bonuses in the bizz.

First Deposit Bonuses

• All online bingo sites offer a first deposit bonuses, some sites offer small bonuses and big prize money; while some sites offer massive bonuses and not such big prize money – this seems to be the way of the online bingo world. First deposit bonuses are ALWAYS available.

No-deposit Bonuses

• Not all UK and European online bingo sites offer the no-deposit bonus; simply because not all sites work the same. This is a small sum of money – generally £€1 to £€15 which allows players to try before they buy.

Re-load Bonuses

• Re-load or re-deposit bonuses are available at ALL (with very few exceptions) online bingo sites. These vary according to loyalty or can be a fixed sum. If re-load bonuses are a fixed sum it is generally between 25% and 50%.

Special Bonuses

• Special bonuses vary from site to site again; they may make up prizes in special promotions, parts of prizes, bonus bucks for loyalty, for playing chat games, as special weekend offers and for using alternative payment methods, as well as other offers.

Online Bingo Prizes

The prizes and promotions at UK online bingo sites are totally out-of-this-world because it is such a sophisticated market-place. Not all sites enjoy the same liquidity, and this tells in the prizes they are able to give away. Liquidity = the amount of customers that regularly frequent a site and play for money. If anyone ever tells you, you have a better chance of winning at bingo – the fewer people at a site, they are telling the truth; the only difference is, the prize won't be very dynamic.

Online Bingo sites with massive liquidity give away massive prizes, and we have seen tons of luxury cruises given away; guaranteed cash prizes of €£1 000, €£2 000, €£5 000, €£10 000, €£25 000, €£50 000 and more. We see cars being given away relatively regularly and have even seen a caravan won; there are luxury holidays all over the world, shopping vouchers, trolley dashes, games consoles, flat-screen TV's, Blue Ray players, entire home entertainment systems, iPhones, iPads, kitchen gadgets and entire kitchens, theatre, music show and movie tickets, nights out on the town, pampering treatments, perfume, make overs' and let's not forget the chocolate; plus much more given away. We have even seen a brand new home in the UK go as a prize, as well as a holiday home in Europe.

At the end of this month one site in the UK – a famous free bingo site; is going to be giving away a £100 000 free bingo cash prize, to celebrate their second birthday…to one big bingo winner in one blast of a 75 ball game. I don't want to date this copy, so I am not telling you when, who or where – just make sure you keep coming back and read our reviews.

So that's about it... and OnlineBingo.eu.com WELCOMES YOU!
