Bingo has come a long way, from community bingo halls to online bingo games. Nowadays, you can play bingo games anytime, anywhere online on bingo sites like bingosites.net with your friends and family.

Why wait for holidays and festivals when you can set a virtual bingo night any day?

All you need to do is get your mates together and follow the instructions to have an enjoyable night. You can create your private virtual bingo night in 4-steps with just some online tools. (the ones mostly you all have!)

Setting Up Your Virtual Bingo Night

Step -1 Get your mates together, virtually.

Video conferencing is the latest trend! 

Pick any video calling tools you like, Skype, Zoom, Houseparty, Facetime, Google Hangout, etc., and add up to 50 users per call. The best option is Zoom, as it demands minimum setup and supports a wide range of devices. 

Make your virtual bingo night more fun with Zoom custom backgrounds!

Step-2 Who gets to be the bingo caller?

Decide who gets to be the in-charge of the game - drawing the numbers, checking bingo tickets, and ensuring no one cheats. Choose someone funny and trustworthy who can make the gaming night entertaining. 

Alternatively, you can also get an automated bingo calling app (from Google Play Store and the iOS App Store) or take turns to be a bingo caller.

Step-3 Create the tickets.

Bingo is a numbers game, just like any online bingo game. Go for a random number generator to get your tickets. 

But, before doing it, decide what type of bingo game you want to play -  90 ball bingo or 75 ball bingo. Whatever you choose, you can customise it by creating a random set of numbers off the top of your head or using - Google's' random number generator.'

Set the minimum number to 1 and the maximum number as per the bingo game you choose and hit - 'Generate.' Each player then writes down the number that appears until they have 5-random numbers written down. 

Kudos! You got your first bingo ticket!

Now let all your players have their tickets and enjoy the excitement through the chat room. If you are a pro-bingo player and want real bingo tickets, download them from bingosites.net, containing 60 tickets and a bingo caller cheat sheet.

A brilliant option for those hosting a bingo night at home! 

Step-4 Play the game!

Pick a time that suits all your mates, send reminders, and start playing bingo. Whoever is a bingo caller calls the number, and others match it on their card. Whoever gets all the numbers marked first calls - "Bingo"!

If you are a bingo caller, make sure you call the number clear and loudly. As it's a virtual bingo, don't forget to check for disconnections. Should you or your friends wish to try your hand at some real money bingo games, sites like BingoSites provide reviews and information on licensed bingo sites.

Thinking About Prizes?

It can be anything you and your mates decide! 

• A chicken dinner,

• Loser buying free drinks for winners, 

• The winner getting a favour from losers like mowing the lawn or clean the car, 

• Any creative and fun thing you want

Conclusion

Virtual bingo can be equally as fun and exciting as the real one. If you want, you can even play it to raise money for a charity or fundraiser and collect contributions through PayPal, Monzo, or Apple Pay.
