The most popular variation of bingo cards you will find in online bingo are the 5×5 bingo cards most commonly used in 75-ball bingo. 75-ball bingo means that the numbers you will find on your card and well as the numbers in the tumbler will be the number 1 up to and including 75.

B-I-N-G-O

This 5×5 grid is divided up into 25 squares, of which the middle is marked “Free Space” or marked as already daubed. In order to help you find the numbers on your card quicker, they are divided into different columns marked with the letters B-I-N-G-O.

• Column B contains the numbers 1-15
• Column I contains the numbers 16-30
• Column N contains the numbers 31-45
• Column G contains the numbers 46-60
• Column O contains the numbers 61-75

Bingo Patterns

Sometimes bingo operators will throw in variations on these cards to keep the game interesting. One such variation is a card pattern. This is a shape marked on the card in a different colour. Sometimes the pattern is just a simple line, but some patterns make up a shape, such as a heart or a butterfly. If you complete the pattern first, you will win an additional prize.
