Bingoworkz (aka 'World Bingo Network'), claim to be the best bingo by far, offering more bonus bucks, bigger cash prizes and no clunky download. We took a look.

Starting with third point first, BingoWorkz do indeed offer a no-download game. It features the latest state-of-the-art Flash technology. Game download should take no longer than 2 minutes on a 28k dial-up modem. Thereafter, the software will be cached on your puter's hard drive and will be instantly available whenever you choose to play. All software upgrades and new features are then automatically available to all players the moment they are released. There is no need for further downloads.

Registering is very simple; the registration form is very short and easy to complete. When you deposit you get a 100% bonus on your first deposit. All subsequent deposits earn you a further 50% BBs. And that takes us onto the second point; You can earn BB's in lots of ways: in addition to  depositing you can get them by introducing your friends to BingoWorkz, by winning contests or simply by being in chat and playing special games. (BTW, deposits can be made via credit card, Central Coin, Neteller, 900Pay, Firepay, Prepaid ATM  and ACH Express).

Once you've registered, logged in and deposited you have a choice of three types of bingo to play; Blackout Bingo, Bingo Central and Fair N Square; Bingo Central is your regular multi-shape bingo with a choice of five different themes. Games start every 6 minutes and card price is usually 25c although there are also regular nickel and dime games, as well as special offers.

Blackout Bingo, as the name suggests, offers only coverall games.

In Fair 'n Square everyone plays 20 cards to provide a fair and level playing field - each game has a set price and all players have the same chance of winning. Games cost a set amount with prices varying from 50c to $10. The default game price is $2.00.

Once you are playing, you have a great choice of options; sound effects, autodaub, animation, cards ranked by best first, chat box font size and auto purchase of cards. Plus your cards change color automatically the closer you get to Bingo! In addition you can pre-buy games as well as purchasing through auto-buy. Looking backwards there's also the option to see your game history and purchase history.

If you don't want to play Bingo all day, there's a wide range of Slots and Video Poker at Bingoworkz. Playing Slots you have a choice of nine in-game microslots (5c to $5) and two larger slot machines (also 5c to $5). There are four Video Poker games that play in the the game screen also. Lots of games therefore to keep the bingo-bordeom away.
