Buying
tickets in bingo90
When you buy tickets in a club, you can only purchase further
tickets for that game in the same room. However if the
next game is a LINK game, you are free to buy tickets in
either club. The maximum amount you can spend is £2.00
per game. Once the game has started should you leave your
room, your tickets will continue to play in the room you
made your purchase in.
Please note you can only play two games
at the same time.
What
is the LINK game?
The Link game only applies to bingo90 and bingo lite. Each
bingo90 club has their own prize pool for each game. However
every 30 minutes the five prize pools LINK together giving
the players in each club the chance to win bigger prizes.
With bingo lite, all rooms LINK together. Once the LINK
game has ended the clubs/rooms will revert back to having
their own prize pool. The link game will run continuously
from 2am - 9am in Bingo 90 and from 12 midnight to 9am
in Bingo Lite. This gives the fewer number of players who
play bingo90 and bingo lite during these hours the same
great prizes as those that run throughout the day.
