6 ways to pick up extra bonus points in your favourite online bingo site
Most online bingo sites like Mecca Bingo or Jackpot Joy offer a loyalty scheme of some description where you can collect Bonus Points over time as a result of regular play. These schemes are brilliant for building up points over time, but there are also ways of gaining more points for doing very little. Depending on which site you regularly play at, some or all of these points may apply to you to gain you extra bonus points. So, Eyes Down, let's take a look at the easiest ways to win more points.
1. During Sign Up, many sites will offer you a bonus of loyalty points. This offer usually comes in place of a cash bonus but will get you off to a great start. Loyalty points can be converted into prizes at a later date if you build up enough. So forget the offer of a free tenner - BP's are the way to get a superb prize as a “thank you” for playing.
2. Once you're signed up, most sites offer a “Refer A Friend” scheme. This usually means you'll cash in on BP's again, but only once your friend has made a first deposit. Invite as many of your friends to play on your site of choice as you like and encourage them to play the same games as you so you can involve them in the chat and introduce them to new players. This means they are more likely to stay on the site and make that crucial first deposit. The reward for referred friends is often greater than that you receive at sign up, since every site wants to encourage new players. So make sure you keep your mate interested and you'll both benefit in the long run.
3. As simple as it sounds, the next step to winning big on freebie bonus points is by completing your online profile. Many sites will thank you for doing this (especially if you add a picture), as you will then form part of their visible community. This serves the double purpose of making other players better able to recognise you when in play, but also makes the site look like a better option to potential players who might be looking around the site.
4. Another simple way to win points is to play chat games regularly. Again, bingo sites want to encourage interaction between players and if you're part of this scene you'll be thanked either in points or in bonus cards depending on your site’s policy.
5. Join up with your mates to form a team. Team bingo is the best way to win a huge sum of points between the team members every month. Make sure you choose committed players for your team if your site offers this type of tourney as those that are involved in every game are more likely to walk away with the most points.
6. Finally, some Internet Bingo sites reward you for simply playing their games. Collect points that add up to free games simply by playing at certain sites and you won't even have to join in the chat if you're feeling a little quiet one night. Although this method of collection will never win you big on the points front, you will still be able to steadily climb through the ranks of your scheme.
One final piece of advice: there are sites out there such as Bingo Hideout that provide a one-stop shop for all the current bingo sites. If you want an overview of the current BP situation across the industry it pays to look around sites such as these.
