Are you any good at playing Bingo? Turn your skills into dollar bills with Bingo King! If you’ve got some free time, this might be a great way to make some real cash just from playing a fun game against real players.
Understandably, people are wary of real money mobile games, and rightly so! Many of these so-called games are a complete waste of time or, worse, outright scams that make you lose money.
At the same time, there are also hundreds of legit real money games out there that pay out real cash prizes.
So, which category does Bingo King fall under?
Let’s find out in this game app review.
Bingo King overview
Bingo King is a free-to-play bingo game where players from all over the world can compete against one another and win real money. It is one of the flagship mobile game products of GreenSoft Limited, alongside
Battle Bingo.
Besides being a fun game that you can play anytime, anywhere, Bingo King lets you put your bingo skills to the ultimate test.
If you’re familiar with traditional bingo gameplay, you know that it is mostly a game of chance. If the numbers on your bingo card aren’t called during the game, there really isn't much else you can do.
So why does Bingo King claim to be a skill-based bingo app?
Because with Bingo King, there’s a fair bit of skill required if you want to win games and cash prizes. You need to know how and when to utilize your power-ups; how to maximize bonus cash rewards; how to unlock extra time bonus points so you have a higher score at the end of the game, and so on. These things aren't based on chance but on player skill.
Is Bingo King a scam?
No! Bingo King by GreenSoft Limited is a legit game you can download from the Apple App Store. Your iPhone or iPad must have an iOS 12.0 version or later to run the game properly.
Speaking of App Stores, Bingo King is rated 4.7/5 stars from over 38.1K user reviews. Overall, the feedback from players has been positive, though there have been a couple of negative comments. One thing I like, though, is that the development team is responsive to complaints. If you go through the reviews section on the App Store, you’ll notice that they took the time to respond to questions and queries without delay. You can also contact them at bingoking008@gmail.com.
One thing to remember is that Bingo King is only available to Apple device users. If you use an Android device, you might come across Bingo King: Online Bingo Games by Artbox Infotech on the Google Play Store, but it is completely different from the Bingo King in this app review.
To play Bingo King, you must be at least 17 years old. Additionally, in line with existing laws and regulations, cash games and tournaments are not enabled in certain regions, including the following states: Delaware, Louisiana, Tennessee, Montana, and Maryland.
Unfortunately, this means that players in these regions cannot compete for real cash prizes, but they can still play for fun and win gems.
How to win cash in Bingo King
The most prominent way to make money from Bingo King is through cash tournaments. It’s simple — play bingo against real players in cash tournaments and 1-on-1 multiplayer events, and the winner takes home the cash in the prize pool.
The amount in the prize pool will depend on the entry fee amount for that particular competition and the number of players in the tournament. This means you’ll need to put down your money before you can compete in these cash tournaments and multiplayer games.
You can deposit money into your game account via credit card or your PayPal account. Cash winnings and bonuses will also be stored in this game account until you can cash out.
The way these competitions are designed, you’ll be competing against people with similar skill levels, and everyone pays the same entry fee amount for that particular tournament.
Do you have what it takes to become the Bingo King?
As you accumulate more wins in tournaments, 1-v-1 competitions, and regular gameplays, your ranking on the global leaderboards will climb higher. If you can place in the top three positions on the leaderboard at the end of the season, you’ll be awarded real money rewards worth thousands of dollars.
Another benefit of rising through the leaderboard ranks is that you can access tournaments with higher stakes, which means the possibility of much higher real cash prizes.
Lastly, you can win many gifts from the game’s Lucky Wheel feature, which lets you spin the wheel for rewards. There are also referral bonuses available for inviting your peeps to join the game.
Bingo King gameplay
Upon installing the game, you’ll be taken through a tutorial (you can skip this) of the game, including how to play, how to navigate the app, how to set up your account, and so on. Bingo King follows classic rules and has the same objective — complete a “Bingo” based on the marked boxes on your card. One of the best things about the game is that there are no ads, so you enjoy an uninterrupted gaming experience.
To play the game, you’ll need to quickly scan your bingo card when a number is called (or appears on the screen). If the number has a corresponding box on your bingo card, then you mark it. On the bingo card, you’ll see five columns with a letter at the top of each one so they spell “BINGO.” Below them are boxes that contain random numbers and letters, which you’ll tap to mark off and wait for the next number to be called.
To ensure fair gameplay, all players will use the same bingo cards, power-ups, and balls. So essentially, what differentiates you is your bingo skills and ability to capitalize on extra-time bonus points and other multipliers to maximize your overall scores.
The good news is you can always play practice mode as many times as you need to sharpen your skills before participating in cash tournaments.
At the end of the competition, all the points you won will be tallied and compared against everyone else’s. If you get the highest score, you get the cash in the prize pool. Of course, it won’t be the full amount as the game developers will be taking a cut as well; plus, depending on the event rules, some of the prize money may also be awarded to runners-up.
Bingo King main features
What makes Battle King a great game? Surely there are lots of other free games that offer the opportunity to win some serious cash. But I like Bingo King because I love bingo games in general, and this game offers a rewarding experience. The gameplay is smooth with no interruptions, plus the graphics are great and add a certain prestige to the game.
Fair competition
To ensure that people don’t cheat the system by playing against lower-skilled players and winning the competition, Bingo King features a fair-matching algorithm that pits players against opponents with a similar skill level.
Also, all players are in sync during the game because everyone is using the same balls, power-ups, and cards.
Game-enhancing power-ups
During some games, you might find yourself in a bind, and the only way out is through a power-up ability. These power-ups can help get you one step closer to completing a Bingo and winning the game.
How you use your power-ups is up to you, but ultimately, it’s all about maximizing your scores and trying to finish the game quickly so you can score additional bonuses. There are four primary power-ups in Bingo King:
Magic Dauber: You can daub any square in any card
Magic Ball: You get to choose a ball and then daub
Triple Time: Triple the scores that you earned from daubing
Extra Time: You are awarded an extra time bonus
100%-secure cash out via Paypal
When you’re ready to withdraw, simply request a payout, and your money will be transferred to your designated PayPal account.
One thing I’ve noticed is that if you’re requesting a withdrawal for the first time, there is usually a delay in the payout due to verifications. To avoid unnecessary back and forths with PayPal, make sure the name on your account exactly matches the name on your game account.
Barring any issues, you should get your money within a few business days, and if not, you can always contact the development team and let them explain what’s up.
The bottom line
Bingo King is one of the best bingo apps available to iPhone and iPad users. If you’ve been looking for free mobile games that let you compete for real cash rewards, this game is worth checking out.
As always, remember that you’re staking your own money, and there’s a chance that you might lose it. Overall, Bingo King is a fun game that you can play anywhere, so I think it will remain on my phone for a little while.
