While online bingo is essentially a game of chance, there are a few things the average player can do to increase their chances of winning. While there are no game strategies similar to poker, for example, there are a few things players can do. Here is a list compiled from information on several online bingo websites.

1. Find online games with fewer players. When there are fewer players that means fewer cards are in play. The more cards you play in a small game, the greater your chances of winning.
   
   

   

2. Avoid overcrowded games, especially on weekends.
   
   
3. Never play more cards than you can keep track of. Doing this will lead to mistakes.
   
   
4. Never play bingo while under the influence of alcohol or other substances.
   
   
5. Don't play bingo when you’re either tired or stressed.
   
   
6. If you play as many cards as you can keep track of and there are fewer cards in play this significantly increases your chance of winning.
   
   
7. Play the games offered in the chat room. While these usually don’t have large jackpots you can win some great prizes or cash.
   
   
8. Look for the best deposit bonuses. You can greatly increase your bingo bankroll by doing this.
   
   
9. Don't wager money you cannot afford to lose!
   
   
10. Traditionally the biggest jackpots are offered on Fridays and Saturdays between 8-11PM. Remember you have the same chances as anyone else.
    
    
11. Stay away from cards that have “lucky numbers” on them. Usually only 20% of cards have these numbers.
    
    
12. By all means, use the chat room. There you will meet experienced players and get some great advice, not to mention meeting interesting people.
    
    
13. Play at only established reputable websites. This ensures you will get paid when you win. Interacting with other players will help you with this. You can find out just about anything by joining chat rooms, joining bingo clubs and groups and asking questions.
    
    
14. Don't play any bingo game based on superstitions such as “lucky days or numbers.” Bingo is a game of chance and while you may feel you have a “lucky number” it will not increase your chances of winning.
    
    
15. Online bingo games with cards costing 25 cents or higher usually have larger jackpots.
    
    
16. These are just suggestions and will not guarantee a win. They will, hopefully, help to make your online bingo experience more enjoyable and interesting.
