When you play bingo online you are given the opportunity to win lots of bingo bonus points as you play around most of the UK bingo sites on the net. Bingo bonus points funnily enough come in many different forms, shapes and sizes depending on what bingo site you are playing at, but ultimately they all amount to the same thing for you, even more games of online bingo effectively for free.

Some bingo sites offer you free bingo bonuses when you first register with them and you can find exactly what you can take the online bingo sites up on from the (Free Bingo) section here at Unlucky for Some. Taking part in online bingo chat games can be another great source to try and win bingo bonus points whilst you are playing bingo, so not only can these be fun but they can prove to be a way for you to bingo for free.

Bingo sites that run on Cozy games software like Gone Bingo and Harrys Bingo award you with bingo bonus points in a different way to bingo sites like Wink Bingo and 888 Ladies Bingo that run on Globalcom software, so I have detailed the two ways in which bingo bonus points are given out at bingo sites that use both these bingo software’s.

Cozy Games – Bingo points awarded at Cozy games sites are listed within the open bingo game window separately to any cash that you have funded with their sites. If you run out of cash and have bingo points or (BBz) in your account then you are able to carry on playing online bingo using these without having to fund again, but they can only be accessed once your account does not have any real cash in it.

Globalcom Software – When you are awarded bingo points using Globalcom software these are not added to your cash balance, but put into the points system under “my account” area of their site. You can access your points at anytime by simply going to your account and then clicking “redeem points”. This will bring up your points balance total and if you wish to redeem these points you just need to enter how many points you wish to redeem in the box where you are indicated to do so and then click submit. 1,000 points is the equivlilant to £1 worth of free online bingo play and once points are redeemed the cash value of these points will automatically reflect in your cash balance at the bingo site and then can be used to play online bingo with.

The one fundamental difference between these two software versions is that when you play at Cozy Games sites, bbz can only be used once you have no cash left in your account, but at Globalcom sites your points can be redeemed at any time you like and they will be added to your cash balance.
