Free Money & Deposit Bonus
Free Money
Free money is given by online bingo sites to first time visitors to let them try out their site. Free money bingo rooms are often separated from other rooms within a site. That means that even if you find a nice themed room to use your free money in, 99% of the time bingo sites only provide one room option, which unfortunately won't be the room you had your eye on.
No deposit bingo bonuses are good to use if you want to try out a new online bingo site and find out what what their bingo community is like, remembering you will be playing in a separate room, instead of your first choice of room. These types of offers are suitable for people who want to play online bingo for the enjoyment of the game and for those people who don't want to play online bingo for profit. Some sites give you free money just by registering your personal details, while others require you to also register your credit card details - although no money is debited from your credit card. Once you have set up your account, contact the site's customer service if you can't see your free money showing in your account balance, or referred to separate balance.
While free money is a fantastic drawcard to an online bingo site, if you win money while you are playing you are unable to withdraw your winnings, as it is only play money. Online bingo sites that do allow you to withdraw money won from no deposit bonuses will sometimes require that you make a real money deposit first. No deposit bonus winnings will always need to be rolled over or wagered a certain number of times before any money can be withdrawn - the number of times varies, check the terms and conditions on the site for information. A small number of sites run promotions or competitions where you use your free money to have the chance to win prizes.
Bonuses
Almost every online bingo site offers a sign up percentage bonus when you open your account and make your first deposit. Every online bingo site would love for you to sign up with them, so the bonuses on offer can range from 100% - 500%. Some examples: deposit $20, sign up bonus is 150% giving you a total of $50, OR, deposit $50, sign up bonus is 125% giving you a total $112.50 in your bingo account. Each online bingo site has different percentage bonuses which change depending on what current promotions are on offer. Check our Top Sites and Online Bingo Reviews for details of what benefits or bonses you receive when you sign up on each site. The bonus has to be rolled over or wagered a certain number of times before any money can be withdrawn. This means that after you win and want to withdraw, if you haven't rolled over the bonus the required number of times you have to keep playing until you do - as this varies by site, check their Terms & Conditions for details.
Bonuses are the best way to maximise your own deposit which means you play more games, have more fun, which leads to better chances of winning!
