When it comes to choosing a bingo site there are lots of things to consider. Firstly you need to consider how much you can afford to lose, set yourself a limit and make sure you stick to it, it’s far to easy to keep on depositing and chasing that big win and before you know where you are you have spent next weeks grocery money. These days most bingo sites allow you to set yourself a limit and warn you when you have reached it to ensure you are not spending too much. If need be you can even self exclude yourself for a set period of time but this is none reversible so make sure it is something you really want to do.

If you are playing with a limited budget you can always try some of the free sites that play for real cash prizes, bingo sites such as Cheeky Bingo, Costa Bingo and the all new Foxy Zero allow you to play without having to spend a penny. These sites are becoming more and more popular as an alternative to sites offering free money without having to make a deposit and are designed to cut down on the number of players playing the free money and then moving on to the next site; the advantage to the sites is this helps build brand loyalty.

The second thing to look at is the sites depositing bonus. This basically means the bingo sites match your first deposit up to a set amount. The value of this offer varies greatly from just £10 up to hundreds of pounds; Cozy Games for example have some of the best offers as they match each of your first three deposits with a whopping 300% bonus so you can literally get hundreds of pounds of bonus money for free.

The third thing to consider is the type of site you want to play on, networked sites might offer much larger jackpots but you will be playing against players from all of the sites on the network so your chances of winning are greatly reduced. Obviously the reverse of this applies, play on a stand alone site and the odds of you winning are greatly improved but your prize will no doubt be lower.

Personally when looking for new sites to play at I also look at their promotions, some sites rely on small prizes on weekends and rewarding more players with smaller wins whereas other sites will concentrate on rewarding one player with a massive cash jackpot or a superb prize such a car; these games tend to be run as specials with higher ticket prices or as prize draws where the more you wager the more entries you receive.

Don’t forget there is the social side to online bingo too so try and check out the lobby if you can and see how the other players react to you, some sites are very cliquey and do not like new players winning. You will also find some bingo sites will not allow you to enter chat until you have made a deposit; I hate this because as a potential new player you should be able to judge all areas of a site before spending your hard earned money.

Finally take a look at the games on offer, does the site offer the bingo game you want, not all sites offer all variations of the game and playing the same game over and over again can soon become boring. Make sure you check out the side games and instant games on offer to as sometimes these are better and more fun then the bingo itself.

My last bit of advice is simple; always check the latest bingo reviews as these will give you an honest opinion of the site from a player’s point of view along with details of everything I have mentioned above so you won’t have to wade through dozens of sites before making your decision.
