How do I use ga*a bingo

Karmacat

:eek:

Okay, I'm dumb.... I admit it.... but I've logged in, I swooped on a game that was due to start on the hour(those contain the free ones, yeah?) and they *still* wanted me to deposit money, i.e. not a free game...!!!

How do I do it? I feel *so* stupid.

Hi Karmacat, I've had the same thing before!!

I did see on one thread I think, that there only a certain few "free" places, as it were, not sure if I'm right on that one though.

Would be interesting to find out;)

Karmacat

Hi Kizzy - as long as its not *really* me being dumb, I don't mind. Its just that I keep seeing people doing bingo again, and I don't know how they're doing it, apart from reload offers. If I find out how its done, I'll let you know!

Numpty, thanks! These little gems are from 3 posts in that thread:

You need to wait until the free games. Near the top of the page it says Times and Prices, if you click on there it shows you when the freebies are starting.

If you go into any room and click advanced tickets you can find out from there and buy tickets for when you know your not going to be at the computer or online.

from the drop down menu choose these rooms instead....seaside, royal ,dreams, country, gala, castle and it shows you the free games.

And the mega one, from candyflossing:
For those of you having problems here's a quick walkthough:

Once an account is created click on the red button "Play Bingo Now"

Click Play beside any room

A notice will come up telling you that you have insufficient funds, click "NO"

Above the Chat area in every room there's an "Advanced Tickets" button - click on it

A box should appear with a drop down menu of all the rooms - free tickets are available in the following: Amazon Club, Country Club, Dreams Club, Gala Club Castle, Royal Club, Seaside Club - There are between 1-4 free games playing every hour - you can enter all of these!

Choose any of these rooms and simply click on "FREE BINGO" to highlight a game ... You can add tickets by clicking on the right arrow under the "STRIPS" box. You can buy a maximum of 2 strips per game. Then click on the green "Purchase" button.

A confirmation screen will appear, click "confirm." A message should appear:

you do not have to be in a room at time of draw to win, but if you wish to be then make a note of the times and visit the rooms later (you may have to turn up early as they fill up fast). You can view your wins & losses on the Gala Homepage by clicking on the dropdown menu titled 'account options' and choosing 'List of Bets.'

You can only book for games up to an hour in advance. Good Luck!

I'm putting this on here so that anyone else lost like me can see this. Thanks all!

Bliss! I bought advance tickets doing exactly what this post says!

And now I'm going to sweep the floor of builders' debris. How exciting....

Brilliant managed to get some free games, think I've done it right, not sure how you know what room you're in, being driven mad by the man saying "tickets for the next game are now on sale!"

Thanks ever so much

Hi all - I have the sound turned off on my computer - used to turn it on for bingo games, until I realised it wasn't needed there either, there's no way I'm going to listen to all the rubbish they put out!

I didn't win anything in the ones I played, but of course, there are hundreds of people there. I'll be doing it all next Thursday.

Here's to Thursdays!

Yes!! Karmacat!! :beer: Here is to Thursdays!!


I went on there last night, signed up for all the games and then turned the sound down and got on with my life...I didnt win anything either.

I wanted to know, when you sign up for games in different rooms does it still play them for you or only the room your in? Also can you sign up and totally log off and let it get on with it? or do you have to click the claim button?

Sorry for all the questions...

didnt win last night but feeling positive for next Thursday.

Well, as you can tell from me starting this thread, I'm no expert (!) but from what I understand of the other thread that numpty referred to, it just carries on without you, you don't have to claim if you've "bought" the free tickets. I mean, *is* there a claim button? I'll have a look a the other thread again before next Thursday, but I'm pretty sure its all automatic.

Same here! Except I can do it quite a bit during the day too!
