Bingo is a numbers game in which you mark the numbers on your card as they are drawn and try to complete a winning pattern before other players do. If you searched for bet365 bingo, you are most likely after how the game works and which variants exist, so that you know what you are joining before you buy a card.
Common bingo variants
Two formats cover most online bingo. In 75-ball bingo, your card is a grid of five rows and five columns. You complete a pattern, which may be a line, a corner set or a full card, depending on the game. In 90-ball bingo, your ticket has three rows and nine columns holding fifteen numbers. Wins come in stages: the first player to complete one line wins, then two lines, then a full house.
Some games also add side features or themed rooms, and the details of each room are set by the game, not by the format. These are common variants across online bingo, not a list of what is available at bet365, so check the bingo section at bet365 to see which formats are offered before you pay for a card.
How a game of bingo works
You buy one or more cards for a game, and the numbers are then drawn one at a time. Each number that appears on your card is marked, either by you or automatically, depending on how the game is set up. The game ends when a player completes the winning pattern. If more than one player completes it on the same draw, the prize is normally shared.
The prize depends on the game's rules and on the number of cards sold, so read the room's information before buying. Buying more cards gives you more numbers to mark, but it also costs more, and it does not change how the numbers are drawn.

Computer-drawn bingo and live play
Online bingo normally draws its numbers with a random number generator, which means each draw is independent and the result cannot be predicted. Some operators also run bingo rooms with a presenter, where the experience is paced by the host. If you like the table-game style of a live dealer, the live casino page explains how live games differ from computer-drawn ones. If you play on a phone, the mobile version page covers how the site runs there.
Playing sensibly
Know the format and the winning pattern before the game starts, and choose a number of cards you are comfortable paying for. Decide on a limit first, treat what you spend as the cost of entertainment, and stop when you reach it.
