FIND out how to make your bingo budget go further on Sun Bingo. 

Playing online bingo is a great way to spend your free time. It can feel even better when you’ve managed to spend your budget wisely and make it stretch further. 

Online bingo should always be about the fun, with players only ever spending within their means.

So, it’s important to set a budget for yourself and stick to it. Players shouldn’t push their limits. 

However, that doesn’t mean you have to limit the fun. 

In fact, there are plenty of simple tips and tricks that you can use to make the most of your money.

It can help it to go further and keep the fun times rolling.  

Here are five ways you make the most of your bingo budget.  

Play in free bingo  

Most sites will offer free bingo, usually in a specific bingo room. Sun Bingo is no exception.  

Our free bingo games can be found in the Cabaret Room, which hosts over 13 hours of free bingo DAILY.  

THESE SIX MANTRAS CAN HELP YOU RELAX

The cash pots are usually smaller.

However, you’ve not paid to play, so any winnings are purely profit, without consideration for how much you spent on tickets.  

Players can make the most of free games by using a site’s prebuy feature to work out which games are free, and buy their tickets in advance.  

While free bingo is the cheapest option available when it comes to playing online bingo, there are also plenty of paid games that you can play and still be within your budget. 

For instance, penny bingo or 2p games are also very common.

At Sun Bingo, we host penny games in the aptly named Penny Press Bingo Room. 

Search for good promotions, deals and offers 

Online bingo sites love to offer their players a whole host of discounts through deals, offers and promotions.  

At Sun Bingo, these can be found under the “Promotions” tab.  

Many of the offers and competitions will include prizes such as entry to a free bingo session or bingo bonuses.

Alternatively, the offer might be a jackpot escalator (where the jackpot within a certain bingo room is guaranteed to be won during a specified timeframe).  

THIS IS HOW YOU CAN PLAY BINGO FOR FREE

While many of these competitions will involve paying or spending money on site to enter, it’s worth considering the deals in full as the prizes might be worth it.

However, only ever spend what you can afford.  

Of course, players don’t always have to pay to enter. Some online bingo sites run free promotions.

That’s what we do at Sun Bingo with our Spin-Go Wheel. 

Every day, we offer all registered players a free spin of the wheel. Prizes range from free bingo to £100 cash!

DO YOU KNOW ABOUT PENNY BINGO?

There’s no deposit needed or wagering requirements.  

Check out session bingo 

Session bingo works a little differently to regular online bingo games.

In the latter, you pay a certain price per ticket and can play in one game.  

CHECK OUT THE FRUITY SLOT THAT'S BURSTING WITH FUN

However, session bingo offers players the chance to pay a one-off price that then gives them tickets to multiple games that play out during a session.  

At Sun Bingo, the Oasis Room hosts our sessions. For £3, £5 or £10 (depending on what time of the day the session takes place), players can buy 12 tickets for each of the 12 games included (making a total of 144 tickets).

This is a good option for those wanting to play more bingo at a cheaper price, as you have the chance to win in a dozen games.  

Chat room games 

The rules and entry criteria for chat room games varies from site to site.

Generally, players will become eligible when they deposit and stake a certain amount within a given timeframe.  

MEET OUR 10/10 CHAT HOST PAMELA

Chat room games are fantastic extras that chat room hosts put on for roomies.

They aren’t scheduled so you’ll have to be quite present in the chat rooms in order not to miss out.  

The games are often mini games that last a couple of minutes at the most.

The winners can get prizes such as bingo bonuses to use on site.  

Play in rooms with bonus features or big jackpots 

Many online bingo rooms offer additional ways to win, beyond the expected base game prizes.

THIS IS WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT WAGERING REQUIREMENTS

This could be a feature that plays out alongside the main game, or, after it.

If you’re looking for a way to make your budget go further, it could be worth investigating the features within the individual rooms.

While a win isn’t guaranteed, these features will usually be included within the price of your bingo ticket.

So, there are more ways to win, but without spending any extra.  

Similarly, it’s always a good idea to keep an eye on rooms’ jackpots.

TAKE A SPIN ON THE SPIN-GO WHEEL FOR FREE

The jackpot is a separate pot of money that will be triggered if the full house is won within a set number of balls.

When this happens, the jackpot can be won entirely by the full house winner, split with other players or entirely shared among all of the eligible players.
