What is 90-Number Bingo?
90-Number Bingo is the bingo game traditionally played in the United Kingdom and Australia. The game is similar to North American-style 75-Number Bingo, where players purchase cards/tickets, then mark the numbers that are called and hope to be the first player to correctly complete the winning pattern. Although the basic foundations of the two games are the same, there are many differences. In 90-Number Bingo, cards have three rows and nine columns. Five squares in each row contain numbers ranging from 1 to 90, while the rest are blank.
How to play 90-Number Bingo
Players purchase strips of tickets at the start of each game. The game is played with three patterns and each of the three patterns has a prize associated with it. The patterns include Single Line Across (Line), Two Lines Across (Two Lines), and Full House. Random numbers from 1 to 90 are called on the Bingo Call Board. The first player to correctly cross off a horizontal Line, then Two Lines, and finally all of the numbers on a ticket (Full House), would win the corresponding prize for that pattern.
In 90-Number Bingo, each individual face (grid of numbers) is referred to as a ticket. 90-Number Bingo tickets are 3 rows by 9 columns. Each row contains 5 numbers and 4 blank spaces.
A Strip is a set of 6 tickets containing all 90 numbers, distributed throughout in a Dab-All format. When a strip of six tickets is played in one bingo game, every possible number from 1 -90 is covered and therefore, a number is crossed off at each bingo call.
About Patterns
The winning patterns are always the same and there are usually three patterns in each game. The patterns include Single Line Across (Line), Two Lines Across (Two Lines), and Full House (All 3 Lines). The first player to correctly cross off a horizontal Line, then Two Lines, and finally all the numbers on a ticket (Full House), would win the corresponding prize for that pattern.
The current game pattern name will be displayed in the top left corner of the screen. It is also found beside its associated prize within the Game Stats information. The current game pattern being played is highlighted.
About the Bingo Call Board
All Bingo numbers, 1-90, are displayed on the Call Board. The current Bingo number being called is shown in large font, while the last 5 Bingo calls are displayed at the top of the Call Board. As numbers are called, they light up. The Call Board also indicates the current call number. There are a maximum total of 90 calls that can be made during one game.
Playing 90-Number Bingo
Selecting/Purchasing Tickets
You may select and purchase strips only if you have adequate funds in your player account. Select a strip by clicking once on any ticket within the strip. The strip will appear highlighted when selected, and the Upcoming Game information at the top of the screen will show the number of tickets selected. To purchase your selected strips, click on the large BUY button on left side of the Game Window. If you wish to de-select a strip, simply click on it and it will no longer be highlighted.
Quick Buy
For easier and quicker game play, you can also use the Quick Buy feature:
Click on the Quick Buy button in the middle of the left section of the Game Window. A small pop-up window will appear.
Choose either the default number of strips, or click on the 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 or Max buttons, or enter any number of strips you wish to purchase.
Click on BUY to purchase or NO to cancel your selection.
Calling CLAIM!
Directly below the Call number is your favourite word - Yes, Claim! If you are the first player to match the pattern in play, Click on the Claim button to Claim your prize.
Please note: if you fail to call Claim when you are the valid winner, this will NOT disqualify you from being the winner! You will be declared the valid winner even if you have inadvertently closed your Bingo session, have been disconnected from the game, or simply forgotten to Click the Claim button.
The winning prize amount is deposited directly into a Player's Account every time a player wins our game. For games where there is more than one winner (multiple simultaneous winners) the jackpots are shared evenly amongst all the winners of a game.
Game Options
Auto Dab
When the Auto Dab option is selected, all numbers being called that match those on the player's tickets are automatically dabbed. This is ideal if you have purchased a large number of tickets, which can be difficult to manage. If, however, you prefer to dab your tickets by hand, simply select the Manually Dab option.
Note: You may also choose your own personalized Dabber Style to customize the look of your dabber.
If you miss a called number while manually dabbing, it will not affect the outcome of the game if your Ticket is the winner! A check mark will appear beside the Auto-Dab when this feature is on. All called numbers will be highlighted in coloured squares on all game cards that you have purchased.
Best Card Sorting
The Best Card Sorting feature arranges the tickets in order of performance. If the player is playing many tickets at once, those that are the closest to winning will be automatically placed at the beginning. ie: A ticket that has all but one number dabbed in a pattern will be placed before another ticket that has all but two numbers dabbed.
All tickets will be displayed as "1 to go", "2 to go" and "3 to go" accordingly, letting players easily identify tickets that are close to a win.
Game Features
Bingo Bonus
The amount of Bingo Bonus that a player has collected is displayed in the Game Stats window, separate from the regular cash balance.
Chat
Chat is an integral part of any online bingo game. It allows players to communicate with the Game Masters, friends and other players. To join a Chat Room Click on the "Join A Room" arrow and make a selection from the list of rooms available. In the small box at the bottom on the conversation window, type your message and then click Send. If you would rather not see another player's chat text, clicking on the individual's name will bring up the Mute option. When a player is muted, their alias is highlighted. To cancel the Mute just hold CTRL and click on the player's alias again.

Chat Games
Chat room games are offered as a way of providing additional fun and chances to win for regular players and chatters. Bonus money is intended to enhance the chatter's gaming experience online.
Bingo bonus money is awarded in chat to active players who are playing bingo, with no minimum number of cards. An active player is a player who has made a deposit in the past thirty days. Only players who are playing bingo in the same stream that the chat game is being offered in are eligible to receive bingo bonus money. Bingo Bonus money is given at the discretion of the Chat Masters. Bonus money may not be withdrawn or transferred.
Chat Room Bingo Bonuses
Please help us to award Bingo Bonuses to the correct players by letting your CM know when you will be away from your keyboard. Chat is very interactive and many of our chat games require players to respond to the CM. If you miss purchasing a game, are away from the keyboard, or are playing in multiple rooms, please tell the CM on duty.
The CMs will not hold Bingo Bonuses for players who are not in chat. If you do not respond to the CM, these Bingo Bonuses will be awarded to the next player. You must purchase cards to be eligible to receive a chat room Bingo Bonus. If the CM awards you a Bingo Bonus and you were not in the game, please let the CM know in order to be fair to all.
Only active accounts will be eligible to receive a Bingo Bonus. An active account is one where a deposit has been made within the last 30 days.
Other Games
