Play Bingo Online For Money, For Free!?


Written by Alex Eliades, 3rd May 2012


Bingo for Money

If you have ever wanted to play bingo for money online but have held back because you don’t want to risk your own cash then you might be interested to find out that you can play with real money for free at a few decent sites. That’s right there are some bingo sites are basically giving away free money to new players that want to test out their bingo games. There is no catch other than the fact that you will need to sign up and agree to receive their emails but other than that you can dig in and have a good time on them.

The idea is that they want new players and what better way than to throw in a few bingo pounds to get you started, no strings. If you like what you see then you can deposit with them but you will do so only once you know that it’s for you.

This leads me to another point that may be popping up in your mind. You may think that these bingo sites are open to exploitation by people signing up just to withdraw the bonus. Well fortunately for bone fide players that’s been taken care of and it’s only possible to wager the free money on bingo games in most cases, not withdraw it. This allows bingo sites to maintain their free money offers and not shut them down.

If you make a win from the free bonus money then you will be able to withdraw it but only once you have met the wagering requirements. Basically most sites have some kind of wagering requirements that apply purely to wins from bonus money wagers that prohibit them from making a withdrawal until a certain amount has been wagered. Ultimately, this means that in most cases you will need to become a depositing customer to withdraw any winnings from the free money.

We recommend thinking of the free money as a means to play bingo online for money, for free to test out the site and not to confuse it with real money that gets deposited.
