True Blue Bingo is a popular online bingo gaming site. It owns a vast collection of 90 and 75-ball bingo games, and is an easy to navigate, no fuss website. It not only appeals to the Australian bingo community though, but players who enjoy all things gambling, as this comprehensive platform also offers casino games such as the pokies, blackjack and roulette.

Opening An Account

As with any online gambling site, becoming a member is always the first step to being able to play for real money. Name, date of birth, desired currency, email, mobile number, alias, password etc. are the quick details needed to fill out to get started at True Blue. Once we’ve completed that, we are credited with a $5 bonus without even having to deposit any cash, and taken to a page where we have the option to play. This makes things handy if we just want to try out a game or two. They also provide a first deposit bonus promotion; we deposit any amount up to a maximum of $50, and they will give us a huge 200% bonus on top of that – that’s a $100 bonus to take our total to $150. They also generously offer a 25% recurring bonus for your second deposit and every deposit thereafter.

If that’s not incentive enough, they also offers a jackpot-life feature, which they call Bingo Ball For Life. Upon our first deposit, we automatically go in to the draw to win a $1000 every week. True Blue Bingo also offers a great variety of weekly and monthly promotions.

Below we detail the games on offer, banking security and the vibrant online community so you are completely informed before signing up.

Bingo games

True Blue Bingo offers the general 75-ball and 90-ball bingo games, with a wide variety of choices to suit everyone:

  • Ice Breaker
    This 75-ball bingo room is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It’s a great room for beginners to start in and ‘break the ice,’ if you will. This game offers many different jackpots, making it a great introduction to online bingo. It runs on the basic 5×5 card bingo game, where players simply fill up their cards as the numbers are called out. This 75 ball game only offers one bingo prize per game, however True Blue will also offer consolation prizes to players who didn’t snag the big win now and then.
  • Snickers
    Just like its name suggests, this game room is as addictive as the chocolate bar and in their words, ‘Choc full of nuts!’ It is a 90-ball game which is only open between the hours of 5am to 12 noon EDT, and also has unique jackpots on offer. This game room is a fun entry into the world of 90-ball bingo and will keep players coming back for more sweet offerings.
  • Grapevine
    Grapevine is True Blue’s 90-ball bingo game room which is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, providing a bingo fix to those that need one at any and all odd hours. Grapevine constantly has new games on offer and is an uncomplicated room to play in while you chat to your friends.
  • Easy Wins
    As per its name, Easy Wins offers many prizes that are easy to get, in a 90-ball format. The room is only open from 11pm to 11am EDT, which caters to those late night, and early morning, bingo players.
  • Treasure Chest
    Treasure Chest offers some of the biggest prizes but is only open from 3am to 10am EDT, so you’ll need to burn the candle at both ends for a chance to share in some of the rewards.
  • Linked Games
    Linked games are a type of progressive jackpot for bingo. These games are only on offer in the Ice Breaker and Snickers rooms. When you play a linked game, you join a larger network with growing jackpots to be won. These games typically tend to attract a substantial amount of players and offer more frequent wins. Games are run on certain schedules, which you can find at the bottom of their website.
