The best bingo websites
Playing bingo is a fun pastime and a great way to keep up on your favourite hobby if you can’t make it out to a bingo hall or don’t have one in your local area.
Though it’s hard to replace the spirit of camaraderie that makes bingo halls so much fun, today the most popular bingo websites capture the same sense of community – many halls discourage talking during play, but there are no such restrictions when you play online, making it easy to chat with fellow players while the game is going on.
Although there’s no skill involved in playing bingo, keeping track of the numbers requires some focus, and a study by the British Psychological Society has even suggested that bingo helps elderly people keep their brains alert. So whether you’re new to bingo and fancy having a go or are looking to keep up with this pastime online, there are plenty of great websites that make it easy to get involved and take part.

For most, it’s as easy as signing up to the website and opening an account. Some of the most popular include…

Gaming responsibly
As with any form of gambling, it’s important to understand your limit and play within it. Playing bingo online can be a fun source of entertainment, but if you find yourself playing compulsively or you feel you are obsessed with potential monetary gains, it may be time to take a step back. Most sites offer tools to help you set limits on your spending and allow for self-exclusion, meaning you can choose to take a break and request you are locked out of your account, but ultimately it’s your responsibility to recognise if playing bingo is problematic for you.
For more information about how to help make informed decisions about gambling, sites like gambleaware.co.uk are incredibly useful – there are great resources to help you gamble responsibly, stay in control, and seek help if you need it. Organisations like GamCare are also there to offer support, information and advice for gambling problems and are open 7 days a week.
