Seasoned online bingo players will already be well practised in all the different types of jackpots, but just in case you’re a little bingo newbie, we have detailed all the possible jackpots that you may encounter when you start embarking on your quest to big riches! So grab yourself a generous bingo bonus, and get playing for these bingo jackpots…

• One of the most popular online bingo jackpots you will come across is the progressive jackpot.  These are offered in all bingo rooms – from 75 to 90 to 5 lines Swedish Bingo – and the reason it’s so popular is that the jackpots can meet and well exceed the likes of £1,000,000!  The jackpot usually has a starting point and literally just grows and grows until one lucky player bags the whole lot!  At this point, the jackpot begins afresh at the starting point and the whole wonderful affair begins again.  The most typical way to bag a progressive is if a player calls bingo in a predetermined number of calls.

• Guaranteed Jackpots are also extremely popular and as the name would suggest, the jackpot being offered is the GUARANTEED amount that must be won no matter how many calls it takes to win the game.  If a site offers a guaranteed jackpot of £1,000, the winner will receive £1,000 as opposed to the prize pool being split.

• Coverall jackpots are the least advertised jackpots and have a sliding prize scale.  Say a coverall jackpot begins at something huge like £1,000,000, this prize pool reduces as the number of calls increases.

• A basic bingo jackpot varies and is usually offered sporadically throughout the day with little emphasis placed on them.  These can be won for as little as a penny or even free and will take place at any giving moment throughout the bingo rooms.

Even though playing online bingo will not give you the same atmosphere and social experience as playing bingo at a bingo hall, more and more people seem to be playing online bingo that ever before. People just do not seem to find the time to go and visit their local bingo hall to play nowadays.

Just because you miss out on the full experience that the game has to offer in the fact that you do not have your fellow bingo players face to face does not mean that online bingo cannot have its advantages. You still have access to an online chat room playing online, so your experience is not fully ruined. With the day and age of wireless technology and dongles, you are able to play bingo on the go. As long as you have a laptop and access to the internet you can literally play bingo anywhere you want.

Usually, if you play online, you will only have access to 1 or two bingo halls that maybe in your area, unless you are willing to travel miles and miles to play. If you play online then you have literally 100s of online bingo sites to pick from, all with different promotions and bonuses. Imagine the idea of having 100s of bingo halls just at a few clicks of a mouse.

When playing bingo at a bingo hall, you will usually find just the local people will visit that live in the area. The great thing with playing online bingo is the ability to talk and play with bingo players from all over the word. You could be playing bingo in the UK and at the same time someone in American could be playing simultaneously. When you think about it, the technology is quite remarkable.

Bingo halls have certain opening times and you have to work your busy schedule around your bingo hobby. With playing online this is not a concern. No matter what time of day you wish to play bingo you can. Online bingo sites do not close at a certain time. If you woke up at 5 in the morning and you had an urge to play it does not matter, you can.

You even have the option to play multiple games and even on multiple sites at the same time. Playing at a bingo hall you only get the option in playing the game that is going to be played next, playing online you have the option to play multiple games at the same time, as automated software will mark the cards for you.
