Online Bingo, like most games, is played just for fun by many. No one wants to throw away hard earned money in difficult times like these. But let me tell you, in a game like Bingo, it is possible to at least break even, and sometimes even make money without risking anything at all. Here is how: If you are not familiar with the concept of online casino Bingo bonuses, it may surprise you to know that casinos as well as bingo halls offer sign-up bonuses to new players making their first deposit. While there are varieties of bonuses, the most popular is the No-Deposit bonus. And most sites offer this in the form of Bingo Bucks or BBs.

BBs is literally free money that a player can play with. You can use it to play several rounds of Bingo games on the site. And if you indulge in chat games while playing the main game, kind chat monitors also award more BBs to winners of the most simple games ever found online! Of course chat BBs are nominal — between $1 and $2. On this site, to avail BBs in the chat games, a player must have made a deposit in the past 10 days and must have picked up at least two tickets for the ongoing main Bingo game.

There is a fallacy that Bingo bucks can be used only for playing. You will be surprised to know that, you can even withdraw the BBs. According to the withdrawal policy at 123bingoonline.com you can withdraw a maximum of $50 of the winnings from a free sign-up bonus, provided you make a deposit and satisfy wagering requirements, if any.

How does this work actually? Here is an example: Let us say you log onto 123bingoonline.com. You avail the free sign-up bonus and win $100 in the form of BBs. Our rules say, you can withdraw upto $50, provided you make a deposit. So you make a deposit of $20, and ask for $50 withdrawal. Your account is reset with $20+$50 =$70 cash; It is this money that you can withdraw or go on to play with and win and draw!

What if you win $100 from the free sign-up bonus and decide to deposit $20 clubbed with a 300% deposit bonus with a 3X wagering requirement on Bingo and/or a 15 X wagering requirement on casino games? Well, well, your account will be credited with $50 alright, and of course the $20. But it will also boast of a $60 bonus. Your account now has $80. As per the wagering requirement, you have to place bets worth three times your account (80 x3) $240 on Bingo games or worth $1200 on casino games, before you withdraw.

Let us say, you decide to play chat games while you are meeting your wagering requirements on Bingo. If you win the chat BBs as well, then you jolly well have to fulfill the wagering requirements –if any– on them as well, before you can proceed with withdrawal. Let us say you win 10 BBs worth $1 each. Then your wagering requirement would go up by 10×3 =$30, so you should wager upto $270.

There is more. Life gets a little complicated as you go along! Let’s say you get put off by this, as you have not understood the rules properly before playing. You decide to abandon Bingo and you play slots on our site. Just a $1 bet. But hey! That means you have to also fulfill the casino game wagering requirement of 15 x deposit+Bonus Bucks+Chat game BBs + Any other Goodwill Bonus.

So as you can see, there is a certain method to the bonus buck bonanza! It comes, but it certainly does not come cheap or easy! You have to stay in the game long enough to reap the benefits.
