When you start playing in a new online bingo site
it’s best to use the opportunity you have to get to know the site
its games
and the other people who play there by trying out the real games with the free bingo bonus you receive upon registration from the website.

All bingo sites are offering these bonuses for free with no need to make a deposit or basically do anything more than just sign up and start playing the bingo games.

Different sites offer different kinds of bonuses. While many UK bingo sites offer a set number of free bingo cards (usually 50 or 100 free cards)
most other sites offer cash bonuses. These can range from 5
10 and 20
with a few of the best sites offering as much as $30.

Many times certain restrictions apply with regard to cashing out prizes won with this money
so it’s important to read the fine print in order to see how good a bonus you are actually getting. Just looking at the amount may turn out to be misleading. Check out the promotions page in the site you are considering
and if you can’t find this info there
try the terms and conditions page.

In some cases you can actually earn money in the site with the bonus money you are awarded
but even in sites where this is not hte case
the main reason for using the bonus bucks is to see what you think of the site – how well the site is run technically (connectivity problems can be a real drag!)
how attractive looking the games are
and perhaps most importantly
how fun the community in the site is
how efficient the CMs are and how friendly the other people in the community and chat are.

Many times a lot of the enjoyment players get from playing online bingo games comes from interacting with a community of bingo lovers who enjoy spending time with each other and playing the games together
much like in ‘real world’ bingo halls where players meet up regularly and enjoy each others company.

Playing with your free bonus money is a great way to get to know the other people who are playing in the site
and get a good idea of how the site is before actually making a deposit and playing for money.

Obviously
to have more time enjoying the site and getting to know it before moving on to becoming a money player – the bigger the sign up bonus is the better.

Bingo Café Review
Even though the entire site needs a bit of updating and it is a bit a of a pain to sign up, it is a great place to play bingo. With a “Sims” like interface it makes it that bit more fun. The Cm’s and other players were very chatty and friendly.

USA Bingo Review
USA Bingo is one of the major players in the online bingo industry and is a terrific bingo site that merits its position as one of the leaders in the U.S. market. it is well designed, offers several juicy bonuses and has enough bingo rooms to get lost in.

Halloween, which falls on October 31st is a holiday associated with scary and ghost stories, witches costume parties, Halloween games, and, of course, trick-or-treating. The holiday has its roots in the Celtic festival of Samhain and the Christian All Saints’ Day – but today has really become a secular celebration.

In schools and community groups, as well as in family gatherings, it is common to decorate appropriate, and then organise a variety of activities around Halloween. Of course, we are all familiar with things like dressing up and telling ghost stories, but other other activity that you might not have considered, is playing the game of Halloween bingo.

Halloween bingo is played almost exactly like a standard game of bingo, but instead of using bingo cards containing numbers, you play using bingo cards printed with words or phrases relating to Halloween, for example, words such as “ghost”, “ghoul”, “pumpkin” or “witch”. Just like normal bingo, Halloween bingo is very easy to play, and even somebody who has never encountered the game before can quickly learn the rules. Of course, if you’re playing with your kids, you will want to give the winners candies as their reward, but since it’s Halloween, why not ask them to tell a scary story before they get their candy?

If you are concerned about how to obtain Halloween-themed bingo cards, don’t worry, this is actually one of the easy parts. You can download free printables for Halloween bingo from the Internet, or if you prefer, you can download bingo card maker software which lets you print custom bingo cards on almost any theme you like.
