Mobile bingo is now available at the majority, if not all, online bingo sites that are available on the Internet. Where it once required that you had to download an app to play, most are now fully functional on the HTML5 mobile-friendly platform.
When you open your favourite site on your mobile (we hope that this is Chit Chat Bingo) or tablet, the intuitive software will detect the operating system used and load the version that best suits your device.
It is known as a ‘responsive design’, and it was in the middle of 2017 that the Dragonfish bingo network and all sites powered by the 888 / Cassava software rolled this out across their bingo platform.
Chit Chat Bingo along with its sister bingo sites are a part of this network, and all boast mobile bingo games.
Mobile bingo is excellent if you want to be able to have a bingo game on the go and a must for those relaxing beach holidays, but while there are far more positives about playing on the go, there are some features of a bingo game that don’t translate.
Chat is the feature that has been quite a struggle to convert onto mobile bingo platforms, this can get attributed to the size of the screens on your mobile or tablet.
While many offer the chat feature, the functionality is not great, so the social aspect of the bingo game gets missed when playing on the go.
If you are not into a lot of chit-chats during bingo games, then this is a feature you will not miss.
As software has improved on your mobile phone, so has the popularity of playing on a handheld device. Where some platforms or brands initially chose not to make themselves compatible with iOS and Android devices, they soon caught up as the play on your mobile became more popular.
All operators now offer a mobile bingo option to their players, but the gaming experience does vary significantly from software to software.
Some platforms, while offering a version for mobile, have put little to no effort in and it shows in the overall gaming experience.
Probably the best option for mobile bingo play is the Dragonfish Bingo network, especially following the upgrade in bingo software.
There are a couple of options for mobile bingo play and the first, and probably most obvious is via your browser on your phone or tablet.
Just type in the web address of the site you wish to play at, and if it is fully HTML5 conversant, you must log in to play.
At the time of preparing this article, there were still some sites that required an app download to play on their website, these numbers are dwindling.
Some sites that are compatible with your mobile also offer an app to download to your phone. It is worthwhile getting in if you’re a regular at the brand offering this option.
While many sites have chosen not to offer the app option now as their software platform is now web-browser compatible, it’s unlikely we will see apps become extinct.
The web-browser platforms do offer many advantages, and these include things like:
Mobile Bingo players at Chit Chat Bingo are spoilt for choice as it boasts an award-winning mobile bingo version as well as specific mobile bingo games and bonuses.
The welcome bingo bonuses offered by mobile bingo sites are the same as you would find on your desktop offering because they are the same products.
It means that any free play bonus or cash match deal is still available to you, even if you choose to sign up for a new account via your mobile device.
It also means that you can log into the same bingo account on desktop, laptop and mobile and access the same games
No more sitting on the tube or bus twiddling your thumbs, make them work for you and have a game of mobile bingo at Chit Chat.
