If you are a bingo virgin (that means you've never played bingo before), you would probably prefer to try a free bingo game before you play bingo for cash. You can try them online, and some bingo clubs also offer free sessions sometimes. If you play bingo in a bingo club, you should be able to play a game for a cash prize, and although there are lots of different games available online, most of these freebies are for prize points or fun only.

If you sign up to other internet bingo sites and deposit cash, you may well get a bonus which gives you the chance to play games on top of the bingo that you have paid for. Our three affiliated sites, bingos.co.uk, Jackpotjoy Bingo and Mecca Bingo, all offer free games, but they are all offered in different ways.

The most generous offers are offered by our favourite site, at bingos.co.uk. bingos.co.uk lets you play unlimited games for free before you decide to sign up. These cards are only for playing for fun, and although there are many sample games to play there, there are no prizes or bingo bonuses. But once you sign up to play bingo at bingos.co.uk, the website will match your first deposit 100%, up to a value of £140. After this, every time you deposit money at bingos.co.uk you will get an additional bingo bonus which you can spend on more bnigo games. This bingo bonus starts at 25% of cash deposited, and depending on how much you spend on bingo, this can get up to 150%! And that means lots of extra games! If you are lucky enough to win cash with your free bingo, you are also allowed to withdraw your cash prize - these are games for cash, not just for fun!

Jackpotjoy Bingo also offer a bonus on your first deposit, but after that you don't get any more bonus money when you deposit cash to play bingo with. however, Jackpotjoy Bingo do give away bingo cards with lots of their bingo. In fact, on some games you can get up to 100 extra bingo tickets at a time, saving you £££! Almost every game at Jackpotjoy Bingo gives you the chance to receive free bingo cards when you buy a certain amount of bingo tickets, and these are for cash, if you are lucky enough to win a game on one of your free cards.

Although Mecca Bingo offers its High Street bingo players free bingo sessions in its clubs sometimes, the free online bingo it offers are a bit more sparse. When you sign up to the Mecca Bingo website for online games and make a deposit, you will receive free cash from the bingo club - £10 to be precise, which you can spend at the Mecca Bingo site, or you can spend the bingo bonus on their virtual fruit machines and other games.
