Winning patterns
Winning in live online bingo comes down to who is the fastest to make the right pattern on their bingo card. Patterns are made as you tick off the matching numbers on your card when they are called out. Be sure to tick off the numbers on your cards straight away to boost your chances of winning! There are plenty of different bingo patterns, and below we have named a few of most popular patterns:
1 line is one of the most common patterns as it is the easiest to achieve. Simply put, you need to achieve a full line of numbers. However, depending on whether you are playing 75-ball or 90-ball bingo will decide whether you need four or five numbers. The line in 75-ball bingo can be formed in any direction from horizontal, diagonal or horizontal. In 90 ball bingo, the line can only be horizontal.
2 lines is very similar to the 1 line pattern and is very common. Simply put, you need to complete two lines on the same bingo ticket. The direction of the line will depend on the variation you are playing.
Full house is the third standard pattern. A full house is when every available space on the bingo card has been covered. A full house is also significant in the fact that it is the final prize and means that the game has ended. Thus, it usually offers the biggest reward of the three initial patterns.
Four corners is one of the most simple patterns as it only requires you to complete four spaces next to each other on the bingo card. This pattern is used in 75 ball bingo and is typically the quickest to complete as it only requires four numbers.

Jackpots
Bingo jackpots refers to the special prize that is the biggest possible on offer for specific online bingo games. Jackpot prizes are not guaranteed in all games, unlike the standard and guaranteed prizes such as line prizes or the full house. There is no way to know when the jackpot will be won but below, we cover the most common types of jackpots:
Fixed Jackpots have fixed prize amounts which are always available regardless of how often it has already been won. To win fixed jackpots, you have to clear a full house within a specific amount of call.
Progressive Jackpots are somewhat like fixed jackpots in the sense that to win the jackpot you need to complete a full house within a specified number of calls. However, with a progressive jackpot, the amount to be won keeps increasing every game until it is won. Once the progressive jackpot has been won then it will reset to a certain amount every time.
Community Jackpots are jackpots that are shared amongst all contributing players. The bingo jackpot can be shared in a variety of ways, but the most common split is 50% of the prize for the player who triggered the jackpot and 50% shared amongst all other players.
