How Safe Is Online Bingo

With the popularity of online bingo breaking through the roof, there are some that are concerned about the safety of playing bingo online. Those concerns range from ‘Are bingo games fixed’, ‘Is my Account secure’, ‘What is a Phishing bingo site’ and ‘What about these chat rooms, are they safe?’ To answer these and many other questions - reputable bingo sites have to be governed by regulations that assure people they are of a high standard.



All established bingo sites have to be granted a gaming licence which ensures that all license holders comply with their stringent gambling regulations regarding fair play and prize pay outs.

Transfers of money are done through the secure banking channels and if you do store credit or debit card information within your online bingo account then it is imperative that you do not share your username and password with anyone. It is best to change your password every once in a while and make your passwords alphanumeric (contain both letters and numbers) for better security.

Chat rooms are constantly monitored by online moderators and if someone gets abusive or starts asking unconfortable questions then it is best to alert one of the moderators (or mods) and they will either be given a strict warning about their behaviour or banned if it has been consistent part of their online profile. Most chat rooms are heavily monitored by the players themselves and if someone were to step out of line they are soon put back in place by the community.

Finally, there is the community itself. Bingo players are wise to anything that seems a bit iffy. No online bingo site wishes to upset its community - in fact rather the reverse, most online bingo sites are constantly asking the community how they can make online bingo sites even more safe and fun. Participation from both the online bingo site and the community is the key for a much safer, fun and entertaining online bingo experience.
