Rich or poor, young or old, when it comes to playing Internet bingo we all have different bingo budgets. Many different aspects come into play when we look at how much we allow ourselves to spend playing this much loved game online. Economic climate is one of the aspects that determine how much or how little we can spend playing the game, not to mention income and of course the number of dependants in your household. Setting your bingo budget is a must and the golden rule has to be 'never spend more than you can afford to lose'!
Stick to this rule and internet bingo will always be a pleasurable and fun experience for all players, no matter what their budget.
Internet bingo sites across the globe appear to have their fingers on the economic climates' pulse as we have seen over the past few months. Back in February 2009 we saw the first ever online bingo site launch with the model 'free bingo for real cash prizes'. Cheeky Bingo immediately became a hit with all players but predominately those on a tight bingo budget. Although not free bingo in the true sense of the word (you cannot withdraw winnings until a deposit has been made), Cheeky Bingo opened the world of Internet bingo up to those people who don't have the bingo budget for the pay to play bingo sites.
In addition to the launch of a free bingo site, many other brands started to offer low cost bingo. Players can now not only play online bingo for as little as a penny a ticket but also nearly all sites now have some form of free bingo offering available to their members.
Also some sites have 'Fair for All' bingo games on offer; these games restrict the maximum number of tickets available for purchase meaning that all who have bingo tickets in the game have an equal chance of being a winner. This allows players on the lower scale bingo budget to compete with high rollers whilst not being statistically compromised by the number of tickets bought by each player.
Internet bingo is great fun and if you stick to your own personal bingo budget it will continue to be!
