Where Can I Play Cheap Bingo Games?
The great thing about playing bingo is that it doesn't have to be expensive. A number of sites have specific rooms for bargain bingo games. This means you can play from as little as 1p or 2p a ticket. To enjoy these games you do need to be a little bit canny. Some sites open up their cheap games at off-peak times to encourage game play. Our favourite sites for bargain bingo are listed below. If you're struggling to choose then you can't go too far wrong with Bingo Lite at Tombola. Of course cheap games do have their drawbacks. You may find that the rooms are busier plus player's are picking up more cards per round. It's also tempting to purchase more tickets because they are cheap. Our advice is to set yourself a budget and stick to it. If a penny bingo session has ended on one site then head to another rather than consider playing more expensive games.
A History Of Penny Bingo
When online bingo first started cheap bingo games weren't that prevalent. Typically you could expect to play 10p per ticket. It wasn't really until the arrival of Fancy Bingo, a sister site to Costa, that operators started targeting players with cheap games. Fancy's approach was to offer cheap games but still offer attractive prizes. Following in Fancy's footsteps was Little Big Bingo, a sister brand to Foxy Bingo and Cheeky, who also wanted to offer 1p and 2p games. Interestingly the then owners of Little Big wanted to purchase our own Penny Bingo domain for the princely sum of VIP Michael Jackson tickets to cover the cost (around £1000). We said "no" and Little Big launched instead. Jackson's tour never took place due to his untimely death so maybe we made the right decision. Fancy and Little Big however were novelty sites and it wasn't long before others offered 1p and 2p games, essentially negating the USP of penny sites - which to be fair wasn't actually that great. Today you'll find cheap games on most bingo sites and dedicated 1p/2p rooms as standard.
