Team Bingo

In a previous article we have explained how it is possible to set up a bingo syndicate in order to increase your chances of winning. To refresh your memory, the idea behind a syndicate is that the members agree to share equally any prizes that they win whilst playing as part of that syndicate.

Playing bingo in a team is a little different. Although you still play as part of a larger group, you get to keep any prize money that you win to yourself. What the team shares is the kudos (and most importantly, points) for the winning game. This is because playing bingo in a team allows you to compete with other bingo teams, and the team which has win the most bingo games at the end of a specific period can win valuable prizes, such as cash or loyalty scheme points, which can generally be redeemed for cash.

Bingo as a team competition is a fairly recent innovation, but one that online sites such as We Luv Bingo are rightfully adopting and running with. As more players come across the notion of playing bingo in a team and demand for team competitions increases, more and more sites will begin staging them. This was how chat-based games got established and we see the same evolution happening here.

Bingo competitions between teams are easy to participate in. Just follow these simple steps:

• Find an online bingo site that runs team bingo competitions. We Luv Bingo is as good a place to start as any.
• Form a team by getting together with a couple of friends or by asking the team bingo support staff to assign you to an existing team.
• Check the rules of the team competition so that you know which games count towards the competition and which games don't.
• Play bingo!

When the competition closes, the team that has had the most wins will also win the competition. In many cases the teams that are close behind the winner will receive lesser prizes.

Playing bingo as a team doesn't cost a penny more than usual, but it can add yet another element of fun to the online bingo experience. Give it a whirl and discover for yourself how much fun it can be!
