Gameplay

How do I play Jackpot Bingo?

First, you’ll need to choose a room to play in.

Once you’re in a room you’ll see slots for each available card. Click the slot to purchase a card. You can also turn on Auto Buy in automatic rooms for as many slots as you wish – this will automatically purchase a card for each round until you join a new room or close the game.
cards

Once you have your cards, you can start daubing! Watch for the numbered balls at the top of the game. If you see one that appears on one of your cards, click on it on the card – this will cover the number up with your dauber. If you’re in an automatic room, all the numbers which are drawn will be automatically daubed.

If you miss a ball you can click on ‘All Balls’ to see a list of all the numbers which have been drawn so far this round.
allballs

All the available prizes are shown in the top right of the room. When you daub all the numbers needed to win a prize, the game will automatically award this to you.

How do I join a room?

When you open the game, you can choose UK or US style bingo, and you can move between these at any time by using the switch in the top right.
countryswitch

You’ll see a list of rooms. You can switch between manual and automatic rooms using the tabs at the top of the room list.
manualauto

Click ‘Join’ next to the room you want to enter. You are now in this room and will stay in it until you reload the game or join a different room.

The rooms are divided into tiers – at the top of the tier you will see icons showing how many coins a card costs in a room in that tier, and how many cards you can have in any room there. You will also see a little ‘A’ icon if the rooms in that tier are automatic rooms.
tierinfo

What do the numbers next to the little people mean on the room list?

The numbers next to each room show how many people are in that room – the green person shows the total number of players in the room, and the blue person shows how many of them are on your friends list.
roomnumbers

How do I change my dauber?

Click on ‘Menu’ then click ‘Daubers’ – here you’ll see a list of all available daubers, including ones you’ve unlocked or purchased in the past. You’ll also see other daubers which are available to purchase. Click ‘Use’ underneath the dauber you want to use.

How do I add or change the tagline under my name?

Click on ‘Menu’ then on ‘Your Profile’. Click in the box with speech marks around it and type your tagline. Then click ‘Close’ – your tagline will be automatically saved.

Your tagline can say anything you wish – a hello message, funny quote or support for your favourite sports team… it’s up to you! Please keep your tagline friendly. You can change your tagline at any time.

If I leave a room will I lose my current cards?

When you leave a room to look at the room list (using the back button), any cards you are playing will stay active. If the room is an automatic room, your numbers will continue to be daubed and you can continue to win prizes. If a new round starts and you have auto buy turned on for any cards, these cards will be bought automatically.

However, if you join a new room while you have active cards in a different room, these cards will be lost.

The room you are currently playing in will always be highlighted in gold, and you can go back to it by clicking the Resume button, or by clicking the Return to Room button at the bottom of the game.
currentroom

How are the prize pots decided?

The Coins you will win for each prize are shown in the top right of the room when you’re playing.
prizes

Each time someone purchases a card with Coins, the prize pots increase – so more cards bought equals bigger prizes!

How do the Jackpot rounds work?

As you play bingo, you’ll see the Jackpot Bar at the bottom of the screen under your cards.
jackpotbar

This will get filled up as time passes – once the Jackpot Bar has filled up, the next round will be a special Jackpot round which has bigger prizes from the Jackpot. In the Jackpot round, all the rooms in a tier play together so the prizes are even bigger! You’ll see a countdown while you wait for the other rooms in the tier to finish their rounds.

On the Jackpot Bar you can also see how many Coins are in the Jackpot so far. Whenever someone buys a card the Jackpot will grow!

Currencies and In-Game Purchases

What do I need Coins for and how do I get them?

Coins are used for buying bingo cards and purchasing drinks and new special daubers.

You will receive Coins when you win a prize on one of your bingo cards. You can also get a Coin bonus just for playing! Each day that you log in you’ll get a daily bonus, and this will increase for each consecutive day that you play up to a maximum bonus of 80%!! You can claim this bonus again throughout the day – the timer at the top of the game will show you when your next bonus is due.

Coins can also be purchased through Facebook – you can purchase Coins by clicking the + button next to your Coin total in the game.

I'm on a computer - why does the price for Coins or VIP Membership change when I click to buy them?

Facebook does not share their exchange rate, or what currency a player uses, with us. The prices for Coins and VIP Membership in Jackpot Bingo are set in US$. If you’re using a different currency we use a current exchange rate and your country to give a guide for what they might cost, so this might vary very slightly from the actual cost. Don’t worry though – you’ll always have the chance to see the actual cost, in your selected currency, in Facebook’s purchase window before you decide whether to make the purchase.


What is VIP Membership and how do I get it?

VIP Membership gives you access to exclusive VIP only rooms! It also gives you access to special VIP drinks, daubers and smileys. You’ll also receive a whopping 100% extra Coins on all Coin purchases, plus you’ll get to chat in our special VIP chat!

To get VIP Membership, open the Menu and click ‘VIP Membership’. Here you can choose from different subscription or pay as you go payment options.

Will I have to pay every month if I get VIP Membership?

When you choose VIP Membership, you have the option to purchase a monthly subscription or pay as you go.

If you purchase a monthly subscription, you can get a 1 month free trial! This offer is available once per player. After the free trial, your selected payment method will be automatically charged each month. You can cancel your monthly subscription at any time, and you will not be charged for any more payments after cancelling.

If you would prefer to pay as you go, you can choose a 1 month, 3 month or 1 year package. If you choose this option you will get VIP Membership for the chosen time period, starting from when you buy the membership, and at the end of this time your membership will automatically stop. You will not be automatically charged again if you choose the pay as you go option.

How do I cancel my VIP Membership?

To cancel your VIP Membership, please contact us using the “Contact Us” button under “Help and Support” in the game’s menu, or the “Report Error” button under the game. Please do this at least two full working days prior to the date you are next due to be charged, in order to allow us time to deal with your request. You will receive a reply via email once your subscription has been deactivated – make sure your check your junk/spam email folder.

The cancellation will become effective at the end of the current billing month of your subscription. This means you will continue to get VIP Membership until this point, and will not receive any more charges after we have deactivated your subscription.

Is buying Coins safe? I am worried about using my credit card online.

All purchases are processed securely by Facebook and we do not have any access to your payment details. Facebook processes millions of dollars worth of payments each day. If you do have any problems with your order, please let us know and we can help.
contact

You can learn more about Facebook payments, including which payment methods are accepted, here.

Why do I have to pay for Coins? They should be free!

Jackpot Bingo costs money to make and keep running. We have to pay developers and rent servers- basically we need players to support us so we can keep the game running for everyone.

We know some players can’t or choose not to purchase Coins – it’s possible to play the game without buying anything, you just won’t be able to play as often or in certain rooms. We’re really thankful to the players who choose to support the game by purchasing Coins or VIP Membership!

When I try to buy Coins, the game goes blurry but the payment window doesn’t appear.

This is an issue which occasionally occurs in certain browsers. Please make sure your browser is up to date, and if the problem persists, check for updates regularly as the issue should be resolved soon.

In the meantime, you should be able to purchase Coins using a different browser.

Can I withdraw my winnings from Jackpot Bingo?

Jackpot Bingo is a just for fun game, so no ‘real money gambling’ is involved. There are no real money winnings or prizes, and Coins cannot be withdrawn from the game.

Friends and Chat

How do I add friends in Jackpot Bingo?

First, click on the person’s name in the game and choose ‘View Profile…’

Then scroll down and click ‘Add Friend’. This player will receive a friend request in their game and will show up on your friends list once they accept the request.

How do I accept a friend request?

How do gifts work?

Once each day, you can send free coins to up to 50 of your friends! To do this, go to Menu, Gifts, Send Gifts. These coins are free, so they aren’t taken from your coin total.

The friends shown will be the 50 friends who’ve played Jackpot Bingo most recently. You can only send gifts once each day, so make sure to select all the friends you want to send gifts to at once.

How do I send someone a private message?

To send someone a private message, click on their name and choose ‘Private Chat’. You can also start a private chat with any of your friends in the game by opening your friends list and clicking on the blue speech bubble button next to their name. If your friend is offline they will see your messages when they next open the game.

How do I move between different chats?

Above the chat space you will see buttons for all of the chats you currently have open. You’ll always see a button for the room chat (everyone in the same room as you) and the global chat (everyone who’s playing right now).
RoomChatGlobalChat

You’ll also see buttons for any private chats you have open, and if you have a VIP Membership you’ll see a button for the VIP chat.

Click these buttons to move between the chats. A little number in the bottom left of the chat button will show you how many new messages there are in this chat.
