BUYING YOUR TICKETS

 



NEW FEATURES

We are improving and adding new features to our Bingo Clubs to make sure you experience more fun play every day.

The New Look back to top

The new Clubs now look like this:-

This is what has changed:

  • We have given you a lot more options inside the Preference section to really personalise your game experience.
  • Times and ticket prices of all games can now be found by clicking on What's Next.
  • We have tidied-up the Chat area.
  • We have added a new Community and a My Messages area.
  • You can now find Bingo Extra by clicking on Bingo Flutter.
  • We have improved the layout of the Buy Tickets areas.
Your Game Preferences back to top

The Games Preferences window, now looks like this: -

Under the Bingo Preferences tab, the View, Tickets, Chat & Avatar, Sound and Messages tabs now really allow you to personalise your Bingo game. Among other things, you can change the call display, music, sound effects, the way you Avatar looks and even the order in which the tabs appear to suit your way of playing.
Tick the boxes corresponding to the options you wish to activate or deactivate. Preferences can be changed at any time and will be saved for the next time you log in.

The options inside the Appearance, Audio and General tabs, apply to all Gala Bingo games, not just Bingo.

 

What's Next back to top

By clicking on the What's Next tab, as well as all the details on the next seven games in the club you're in, you will find out what exciting games are coming up in all the other clubs.

For each game type selected - 90, 80 and 75 ball - you will see the list of clubs, number of players in each club, starting time and ticket price.

The What's Next window looks like this:-

The Chat area back to top

We have tidied-up the Chat area. Now it looks like this:-

Your Avatar appears in the right-hand side of the Chat area above the list of Roomies and Buddies. You can choose to personalise your avatar by clicking on the Preferences tab.
You can also see what characters other players have chosen to be by clicking on their names in the chat list.



Below each avatar, you may click the red (/) button to ignore that player; the green (+) button, to add them to your Buddies list; or the envelope button, to invite them to a private chat. An orange (-) button will become available, to remove a player from your list of Buddies.

All the Chat Room options are available for you at the bottom of the Chat window. You can change your font size and colour and choose from a variety of emoticons.

The Community area back to top

In the Community area you can now find the new Windicate feature that enables you to choose up to 5 bingo buddies, who will receive 50p each time you win a Full House in our special Windicate games.

Windicate games are identified by this icon:-

The Roomies or Buddies you select must accept your invite to join your Windicate group to receive their 50p. However, you are free to remove any one of them whenever you choose.

In the same way you may accept invites from other players and join their Windicate group, and you will receive 50p every time the Windicate group owner wins a Full House.
However, the Windicate group owners will be free to remove you at any time from their Windicate group.

If the Full House is won by a member of the group other than the owner, none of the group members will receive 50p. You cannot join more than five Windicate groups at any one time.

The Community area looks like this:-

Your Windicate group, by default, is the same as your ScreenName. You can change the name of your Windicate group by typing the new name in the Windicate Name box, and clicking on Change.

To add your Buddies to your Windicate group, click on Buddies to display the relevant list. Click on the green (+) button next to the name to add your Buddy to your Windicate group. Your Buddy will appear in the list of Win Buddies on the left hand side of your screen.
To remove a Win Buddy from your Windicate group, simply click on the orange (-) button next to their name.

From the Community area, you can also Share the Fun!

Click on the icon in the bottom left hand corner of the Community area, and send us the names and e-mail addresses of up to five of your friends. For each one of them who opens an account with Galabingo.co.uk we will give you £10. And of course, we will also give your friend £10!

 

My Messages back to top

The messaging alerts keep you up to date with our latest promotions and games. When you receive a message, a pop-up will appear in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen. You can open it in two ways: either click on the pop-up, or click on My Messages tab.

The My Messages window looks like this:-

Your messages will appear in a list. The icon next to each message tells you what type of message it is (promotion, tip, game play etc.). To open your messages click on the green arrow button. To delete them, click on the trash can.
You can choose what type of messages you want to receive. Simply Click on the Preferences button and choose Messages.
