FREE Bingo Games Online
With so many pop up’s flashing on my screen offering ‘free bingo games online’, there is only so much temptation a mere mortal can resist before the curiosity factor kicks in!
Wink Bingo finally got the better of me and I decided to feed my curiosity and investigate if there was really such a thing as free bingo games online. I clicked on the pop up and within seconds I was registered and ready to play free bingo games online courtesy of WinkBingo.com.
Down to business and ready to play, I clicked on the free bingo link and guess what? You can’t play free until you have made a deposit! Hmm… no free bingo games online methinks. But, still curious I decide I will deposit £10, well it’s only a tenner and I’m in! (Actually £5 would have got me started but I decided that ten quid was a fair bet as I forgot to bet on the Grand National this year!)
So now my experiment into free bingo games online has cost me £10 and about 10 minutes. I hope Wink Bingo is taking note of this; as that works out at £1 a minute – so far!
Excited, as my £10 has magically turned into £30, I’m ready for some serious action! With a whopping 200% sign up bonus I’m then thrilled to discover that I also get a chance to ‘spin the wheel’ as a one off for new players who have deposited £10 with Wink Bingo and the spin will earn a guaranteed £15 – up to a possible £1000! I spin and I get £15 and I can’t help but wonder how many people have made a grand out of their one off spin? Now my initial £10 has put an incredible £45 in the bank and I like Wink Bingo more and more!
I click on the ‘play now’ tab and seek out the games that allow me to play free bingo games online. There are 2; ‘Free and Easy’ and ‘Birthday Suit’. I soon discover they are played at certain times of the day, the next being several hours away. At this point, I am ready to ditch my experiment because I can’t be hanging about waiting for my free bingo games online.
But hold on a minute, I can in theory play free bingo games online because even if I don’t touch my initial £10, I still have my £35 bonuses to get started with! I take a look at the offerings and am impressed. Choices available mean I can play a game for the princely sum of 1p – get in!! I select ‘Jump for Joy’ at 1p per card, OMG I can have a max of 96 cards for 96p!!! Yes, you guessed it – I purchased the max and waited with bated breath as the game played out. Nothing! 96 cards and not even close, great fun though!
The chat is fast and furious throughout the game and the room abbreviations are just a click away. Unlike traditional chat rooms, winkbingo.com players seem to be engrossed in the moment and to me it was more of a ‘check’ room than chat room in that most participants update as to how many balls they have to go [3TG/2TG/1TG] and wishing each other good luck etc [GL]. When house is called, they all hit the WTG [presumably way to go] button to congratulate the winner. There is an occasional reference to the weather and what’s for dinner but aside from that, the speed of the games detracts from having a good old chin wag.
Moving on to the genuine free bingo games online, I select 6 free cards for Wink Bingo’s ‘Birthday Suit’ game which is played daily at winkbingo.com between 8.30 -9.30am, 2-3pm & 8-9pm. This is just such a great idea; the jackpots are not massive [around £10 - £15] but, for a free bingo game online it’s a cheap way of keeping one amused! The thrill of watching the numbers being checked off during this coverall game and then the excitement when you have 3TG than 2TG [3 numbers To Go etc] is an obvious pull and keeps you interested.
Great news is that you can ‘purchase’ your cards in advance for the next free bingo games online. There are around 9 games played during the hour and you can only pre buy cards for the first game so if you want to play a full round of free bingo games online, then you have to be logged on.
It occurs to me that there are probably many thousands of people at work, sitting by their computer, playing out a few free bingo games online at WinkBingo.com while the boss isn’t looking! Now that would make data entry a bit more interesting, nudge nudge, wink wink!
Playing free bingo games online in Wink Bingo’s Free and Easy and Birthday Suit rooms, is the one place on Wink Bingo that you don’t chat. Presumably this is because they have in excess of over a thousand players at any given time during free bingo play and this would be difficult to navigate. (Handy though if you’re playing at work because you won’t be given away by the tell tale typing!)
Over the past 2 days I have won a total of 2 games = £7 out of a total of about 12 free bingo games online. I’m not good at maths but I think that’s pretty good odds! It’s a real buzz when the 1TG tab flashes and you’re waiting for the final ball!! WinkBingo.com have created a real ‘Bingo Hall’ atmosphere that makes you feel like you are actually playing with a bunch of people competing for the prize ball that earns you the joy of being able to shout “BINGO!”
Aside from the free bingo games online, I have indulged in several paid for games and between 1p & 10p and as yet to win. But my balance is still at £44 so I have had a lot of fun for my initial £10 investment. I have also ‘pre paid’ a couple of larger jackpot games that are played out on a weekly basis and I know I will not be around to play, but hey I’m still going to be in it to win it!
On Friday’s, winkbingo.com offer a guaranteed £500 Risk Free Jackpot. The reason it is called ‘Risk Free’ is that if you are not the lucky winker to scoop the jackpot, whatever you spend on cards for this game will be refunded back to your account on the following Monday!! Now that’s what I call Risk Free! The action starts at 9.45pm every Friday and if you’re a Friday party animal, you can pre-purchase. Yes of course I have got mine, at 10p a play it’s definitely worth a flutter!
Aside from free bingo games online, WinkBingo.com offers Slot games, Scratchcards, Instant Games and Progressive Jackpot Instants.
In summary, my initial experience of free bingo games online has been enjoyable and interesting and nowhere near as daunting as I expected. What really appeals to me is that Wink Bingo allows new players the opportunity to cash in on the generous sign up bonuses in order to sample online bingo, at a pace and budget that suits the individual player. Playing free bingo games online at WinkBingo.com gives the player a chance to get a feel for the game and learn how to navigate the site and understand the games. Also the low stakes involved in other games give you plenty of opportunity to experiment before moving on the big jackpot games with higher stakes, with the added reassurance of knowing you’re in control of your spend.
P.S. I just won £14 + in the ‘Fair and Square’ game. Current balance now = £49.88 – not bad for a tenner eh?
