Friday night and the lights are low, looking out for a place to go...but it is raining outside, you need to chill out after a hard week at work and you're not in the mood to dress up to go out. Kick off your shoes, wear whatever you want, smoke freely if you're a smoker, grab a glass of wine or a cup of tea and find one of these free bingo sites that your friends have been talking about. It doesn't matter if you have absolutely no idea how to play because good free bingo sites make it so easy anyhow and who cares as you're not spending any money.

Free bingo works in some slightly different ways. Strictly free bingo is when you get your bingo tickets for free but the prizes are still very real and tangible! Another part of free bingo is when you get a sign up bonus upon registration, which will vary from site to site, the trick is to spot some of the best free bingo bonus offers. This amount is credited into your account without having to deposit. There is also cashback on your first deposit on some sites this is as much as 200% and on the odd site it even goes up to 500%. So if you deposit 10 pounds you will get an extra 20 pounds free.

So apart from differentiating between the different elements of free bingo if you are new to the game you need to be aware that it is not just one game but there are three variations. These are 75, 80 and 90 balls, so whether you decide to dive in just for the best offers and to learn each game or you approach it the other way around, choose by the game first and then the offers, there are so many free bingo sites around you will not have a problem. The only problem will be that you will be spoilt for choice.

A few starting points that you need to be aware of is that you need to be a minimum of 18 years old to be allowed to play the game online. You will also need to be a registered member to play free bingo. Many bingo sites will let you play the free games for a while but if you want to join the real game you are then required to make a deposit to your account.

You do not have to shout bingo when you win, the computer will announce it and even if you have a problem with your computer during a game you can still win and know about it later. As you look at different sites you will notice that they have different times with special things happening. Also they have chatrooms which means that even if you are by yourself at home you can meet other players online.

Free bingo can be used also to learn the game online so that you feel confident to move onto betting a little at a later stage. It is really easy to learn, and it makes a great night in without spending any money.
