Tammy is our resident free bingo and budget bingo expert, being a self confessed fan of any bingo site that is willing to offer up some full houses on the house. Read on to find out her reasons for playing budget bingo – and some great tips to stick to if your purse strings are a little too tight.
It’s easy to get to the middle of the month and have that sinking feeling that actually, things are a little bit tight when it comes to the old financials. And whilst it can be a bit annoying knowing you are missing out on the big bingo games, it doesn’t necessarily follow that you are missing out on any of the usual online bingo fun.See, the thing is for me, I’m not only a fan of winning big in bingo – I just like getting a win. I’m not saying I’d turn down a £1,000 win over a £1 win, far from it. My point is that the feeling of knowing you’ve won is actually the clincher for most of us. It’s all to do with the science behind our emotions – apparently, the euphoria you get if you get a bingo win is first triggered by the actual event, and then sustained by the thought of knowing you’ve won X amount of money. Which is why I’ve always found budgeting in bingo easy.
The way it works is pretty simple – I have a couple of bingo sites that I play at regularly and deposit into with a set amount on a monthly basis. I try to stick to sites that have a good mix of free bingo games 24/7 alongside some sites that offer up some nice looking jackpots but with small ticket prices. I tend to look for value over glamorous prizes. I do my research and check which games are worth my time – and avoid games that are prone to overcrowding. Winning small and winning often is my philosophy… and I try and find ways to top up my account by taking part in free competitions, chat games and playing during BOGOF hours. Playing online bingo the budget way is a little more work than autobuying a ton of high priced tickets, but I do find I get more involved with the site, and that’s something that is always worth my time, regardless of the price.
Great article Tammy. Here are a couple more suggestions for your readers that might help them to further budget for bingo:
1) Play on bingo sites that offer you to set deposit limits – for example daily and weekly limits.
2) Use alternative deposit options like Paypal, Neteller or Ukash instead of credit cards
3) When you play on multiple bingo sites, be sure to deposits on days when you get the most reload bonuses such as the sites from Joy bingo network where you get up to 30% more bonuses on your deposits on Thursdays to Mondays.
