90 BALL VERSUS 75 BALL:

In 90-ball bingo, each card has three horizontal lines and nine columns. Each line contains five numbers, meaning each card has 15 numbers. The first column contains numbers from 1-9, the second column contains numbers from 10-19, the third column contains numbers from 20-29, all the way through to the final column which contains numbers from 80-90.

A game of 90 ball bingo will normally be played in three stages:
one line - game players need to mark a complete horizontal line across one card
two lines - to complete any two marked lines horizontally across one card
Full House - means all the numbers marked off on one card (all 15 numbers), as in a regular coverall game
The prize split differs for each stage of the game. The Full House is always the largest prize in any one game.

BINGO NETWORK:
There are a number of sites that will have the same promotions, similar graphics, the same bingo rooms and the same CMs. This occurs because they are part of a bingo "network". In simple terms, this means a number of different sites are playing with the same numbers for the same jackpot. Multiple sites act as doorways to a single game, leading to larger pools of players in chat rooms and more sizeable pots to win, in an arrangement known as White Label Gaming. While the bingo software is the same, the brand owners are responsible for the look and feel of the site, together with any promotions they wish to offer. This is an important feature of online bingo in that it is critical that any site have enough players to have a decent sized game. The bingo network that "shares" players.
