How to Test Bingo Sites Without Depositing a Penny

Bingo sites are arguably have the biggest online gambling presence over betting and casino sites, but faced with the plethora of “big win” promises, how ever do you find the ones offering the best incentive deals?

Most bingo sites advertise a hook or bonus incentive for new customers. These usually take the form of deposit bonuses, meaning one must deposit at least £10 before recieving up to a 100% match on their money. The deposit bonus is rarely the type of fund that can be withdrawn alongside winnings. Often deposit bonuses are lost if a player chooses to withdraw the entirety of their winnings. It’s a sneaky catch, and one used by many sites to ensure bingo players regularly maintain funds in their accounts.

A deposit bonus is simply extra money to use once you have blown your first deposit. The bonus is real money during gameplay, meaning you can win withdrawable funds by playing with it. The likelihood of winning using just bonus funds to play is questionable. Some say it reduces your winning odds, however bingo sites operate on servers, so it seems quite impossible that a server managing thousands of players could be programmed to “fix” your outcomes.

While the deposit bonus can be the deciding factor when choosing the best bingo site, it’s important to consider the other incentives available, which coupled with a deposit bonus, give you more value for your new custom.

The Welcome Bonus:

The welcome bonus is a no strings attached incentive to encourage new customers to sign up to a site. A welcome bonus is playable money which can be used in certain bingo games, however cannot be used in slot, scratchcard or instant play games. The incentive is designed to get you to sign up, accept marketing and promo emails, and experience games on a trial basis.

A welcome bonus is generally a small cash amount ranging from £1-£5, and can be used solely or alongside deposited funds, however, like a deposit bonus, cannot be withdrawn alongside winnings, and may be lost if you choose to withdraw a certain amount that leaves no “real money” in your account.

The welcome bonus is ideal for no strings attached trials of a bingo site., It enables you to get a feel for their system, experience the chatrooms and the helpfulness of site operators. Ultimately, it gives you decision power  as to whether the site is worth depositing to.
