Tip Number Four: What sign up offers do they have?
 

This is one of the most important reasons for choosing a bingo site as it allows you to try the site before you commit to depositing your hard earned cash. Most online bingo sites offer their members some sort of bonus for joining their site. Many offer free bingo cash to try before you buy and more frequently will give you a match deposit of up to 200% on your first deposit.  (See how the Bingo Match Deposit Works)
 

These bingo offers are great as they really are money for nothing; they also give you the opportunity to explore the bingo room in question with no obligation to buy.

 

Tip Number Five: What is their chat feature like and are the chat masters any good?
 

Online bingo is based around chatting and socialising with friends and fellow bingo players.  Therefore it is essential that the bingo sites provide a good chat feature/room.  When you log in to your bingo account and start playing games it will become apparent that there are chat rooms (often built in to the game) where you can interact with the other players/roomies.  This chat feature must be easy to access and easy to use. Many of these chat rooms have useful drop down menus so you can easily talk to your friends. The most popular phrases include WTG (way to go) and GL (good luck) to name but a few. (For a full list of bingo lingo visit our bingo lingo article).
The chat rooms are marshalled and ran by chat masters who are also known as cm’s. 

They are available to help members when they get stuck and give a friendly welcome when you visit the site.  They are an integral part of a bingo site that can either make or break the site.  The cm’s will often run chat games where players can win fantastic prizes which frequently include more bingo bucks to play bingo with!
It is important to find a site with a good chat feature and exceptional chat masters as this will make your bingo playing experience much more enjoyable. You can read about these features in our in depth bingo reviews.
