Are All Bingo Sites Connected?

Last Updated on . Written By Beth Taylor

Have you visited multiple bingo sites and wondered why many of the games are the same? Online bingo sites usually are part of a network where all sister sites have the same games. This allows many different bingo sites to pool their money together and provide bigger and better games. So, whether you join a new or old site, it will have rooms filled with players all from the same network.

What Are Bingo Networks?

Bingo networks describe the connection between different bingo sites that are either all owned by the same company or simply use the same software to provide the same games. This means that when you play at a bingo site of your choice, other bingo games on that network will have the same games. While some bingo sites will only have networked bingo games on offer to their players, others will offer some games from the network and also personal games that you can only find at that site,

 

Promotions and Bonuses at Connected Bingo Sites

At bingo sites on the same network, you will find the same range of promotions set by the network provider. For example, players will be used to seeing the same range of promotions at Dragonfish sites. This gives bingo sites much more reputability amongst players but it is worth noting that if you are switching to a different bingo site, you may want to choose one that is not on the same network as it will be incredibly similar. Many bingo sites will offer personal promotions just for their bingo site on the bingo games that are exclusive to them and not part of a network.

Why Do Bingo Sites Share Jackpots?

There are many reasons why bingo sites share rooms and jackpots. Here are some of the top reasons why it is more economical for a bingo site to join a network:

  1.       Share games – bingo sites that are part of a network can share games. This means that each site has many more games to offer its players than it would as a standalone site
  2.       Bigger jackpots – when bingo sites join a network, they can pool together prize money and create even bigger jackpots. This is economical for the bingo site and it means players can get access to even bigger prize pots
  3.       Customer support – bingo sites on the same network can set up one customer support base rather than each having a separate line for players to contact. This allows bingo sites to save money and is better for players as the bingo sites can offer more customer support such as live chat and telephone numbers rather than just an email address. They can also offer this support 24 hours a day rather than for shortened periods
  4.       Chat room hosts – as well as offering more comprehensive customer support, bingo sites on the same network can use the same chat room hosts in their bingo game rooms
  5.       Promotions – promotions can offer much bigger and better prizes. When bingo sites join together, they can provide players with the very best promotions and offer more exciting prizes

As you can see, bingo networks benefit not just the bingo site but also the players!
