Once you have decided on a bingo site you must first register a member account with them. You will need to fill out (usually) a very short form. You will choose an (alias) or (nickname) that you will go by when playing in chat or dealing with customer service. This might be something like “teddy bear” “nana” or “tweety bird”. Choose something fun that you would like people to know you by. You will then need to choose a password so that you are the only one who can access your account. It should be simple enough for you to remember but difficult enough that no one will no what it is that might have access to your computer. Finally you will need to supply an email address so that your account can be activated. Some sites may require you supply you first and last name, address and telephone before activating your account or giving you free bonus money. Don’t worry about this because legitimate sites have encryption and very high security so there is know need to worry about your information being insecure. The easiest way to verify if a site is secure is once you have started the registration process and get into the site you will see at the top of your screen in the browser their address like this http://www.bingocard.com or https://www.bingocard.com . If the address has an S in the “https” then the site is secure. Usually the home page will not have this because this is a public page and only when you enter the site through your nickname and password will you see the https://. This is where you will make deposits, withdrawals and other transactions that will need security. After registration you will need to go to the email address you provided so that you can activate your account. The bingo site will send you an activation/welcome email. In this email there should be a link that is highlighted in blue that will instantly activate your account and take you to the bingo site. If the blue link does not work you may need to send them an email or go to their live help on their home page so they can assist you. Depending on the site you will only need to give your full information once you are ready to play bingo for money. To play bingo for real you will need to give your first name and last name along with your mailing address and phone number. This is necessary to fund your account and so any withdrawals you may make can be verified with you online processor such as NETELLER. Good sites also give real prizes and will need your correct mailing address so they can send you your prize. :-))
