Prize Bingo

When you play online bingo, or even land based bingo, the expectation is that you will win a cash prize. However sometimes an online bingo site will offer up a prize of some description for the winner rather than a cash prize, this is known as prize bingo. Often when playing at land based bingo halls you will find prize bingo being played on the CashLine boards in the intervals but for online bingo, prize bingo comes in many different forms.

The first online bingo site to really run with the prize bingo idea was Foxy Bingo and this is apparent when you take a look at their Super Prize Night. For three hours every Monday Foxy Bingo runs a prize bingo game every 20 minutes. Bingo cards for these games vary in price dependant on the prize being offered.

When playing prize bingo it is usual that the prize pot offered is replaced with a gift; this could be anything, it is entirely at the online bingo sites discretion, but often you will find that the value of the prize will exceed that of what would have been the cash prize pool.

Prize bingo can also be used to describe the bingo promotional offers that some sites have running each month. Players have to meet wagering requirements or complete certain qualifying guidelines in order to be in with a chance of winning a prize available in a monthly draw.

Prize bingo or cash bingo, it all adds up to winning a little something for what is often very little outlay when you play online bingo!
