How to play 90 ball bingo

90 ball is the true British style bingo, just the same as you would find in your local bingo club. If you are completely new to the game of UK 90 ball bingo, here's how to play.

Why 90 ball bingo?

90 ball is the true British style bingo, just the same as you would find in your local bingo club. Many online sites only offer 75 ball bingo, which is the US style of bingo.

What bingo games do you offer?

All our bingo games are listed on the bingo games page. We play single line, two line and full house games. We also play lots of fun chat games with CM Charlie, CM Bunnie, WayneH and our Chat Hosts team. Full details can be found on our chat games page.

Can I buy single tickets?

No you cannot buy single tickets. You can only buy a set of six tickets, in a strip. Each Strip contains all 90 numbers distributed throughout the six tickets. Therefore, one number is crossed off as each ball is called.

How many strips can I play each game?

You may play anything from one strip up to a maximum of five strips.

How much do strips of tickets cost?

Each strip of tickets costs FB£1. However for some 'special' or 'promotional' games the price may differ. These prices will be clearly notified on the site.

Do I have to daub (mark) my cards?

By default your numbers are marked off automatically. You can choose whether to dab the numbers yourself ("manual") or let the computer do it for you ("autodaub") from the options menu in the game.

What options do I have when I am playing?

You can choose whether to have the Caller's voice on or off and you can select whether you wish to dab the numbers yourself ("manual") or let the computer do it for you ("autodaub").

I can't see all my strips of tickets. How do I know which is my best strip?

Simply click on the 'best ticket' button, and the strip that contains your best ticket will be displayed. At all times the game screen displays how many you are away from bingo. If you are two numbers or less to go to bingo, this will be displayed at the top of the relevant strip. In our usual game, two numbers away is highlighted in green, one number away is pink, Bingo is red!! For special themed games these colours may change.

How do I call Bingo if I have won?

To claim your win you MUST click on the BINGO!!! button. The system will not automatically claim for you. If you miss your claim when your ‘winning’ number is called you can claim as soon as you notice that you have won. You will be declared a winner if no-one else has claimed before you. To help ensure that you claim on time, a message will appear on the screen saying ‘You should click bingo now!’. See the picture below.

What happens if there's a draw?

If there's more than one winner in a game the prize is split equally between all the winners.

What is a FB£?

Free Bingo Pounds (FB£) are our very own currency. You receive FB£1000 when you first register with FreeBingo.co.uk. You can use FB£s to buy bingo cards and to enter our competitions and sweepstakes. All Bingo jackpots and bonuses are paid in FB£s.

Please note: Free Bingo Pounds have no monetary value.

Are FB£s real money?

No, Free Bingo Pounds (FB£) have no monetary value. You can only use FB£s to buy our bingo cards and to enter our competitions and sweepstakes. All our Bingo jackpots and bonuses are paid in FB£s.

Can I cash out my FB£s?

Free Bingo Pounds (FB£) have no monetary value. You can only use FB£s to buy our bingo cards and to enter our competitions and sweepstakes. All our Bingo jackpots and bonuses are paid in FB£s. At the end of every month, the number of FB£s you have earned towards your profit balance will earn you entries into our Monthly Prize Draw.

How can I win FB£?

FreeBingo.co.uk offers its members loads of ways to win FB£s.

When you win a game of bingo your account balance will be credited with FB£ to the value of the prize pot.

If your luck is out then there are other great, fun ways to generate FB£s as part of our ‘Bingo Community’ programme;

Refer a friend – tell your friends about FreeBingo.co.uk and every friend that signs up, we’ll credit your account with a generous FB£ bonus
Join the Gallery – send us a photo and once it’s added to our Player’s Gallery, you’ll get extra FB£s
Send a recipe - playing Bingo can be hungry work. If we use your recipe on the site, your account will be fed more FB£s.
Contribute anything – We’re looking for jokes, stories, letters in fact anything bingo-related. If we publish it, you get FB£s

If you have something you wish to submit to FreeBingo.co.uk, please go to the submissions page.

What happens when I run out of FB£?

Although it is technically possible to run out of FB£s, it is highly unlikely that you will do so. All of our bingo rooms have minimum jackpots and most have additional extra jackpots (XJP) or progressive jackpots (PJP) that will award a massive payout for claiming bingo in a set number of calls. Bingo tickets in most rooms cost just FB£1.00, which means it would take you 1,000 games without winning to get to zero. There are also events throughout the week that have completely free tickets that don’t cost any FB£s at all.

What’s more, if you play 5 or more games of free bingo in one day, our Daily Cashback system will award you with a FB£100 bonus on the following day. Therefore you should find that together these features will prevent you from ever reaching zero on your balance.

How do I refer a friend and receive free FB£?

All you have to do is supply us with the email addresses of your friends. Then for every one of your friends who register an account with FreeBingo.co.uk you will receive FB£400.00.
