Your iPhone is an exceptionally powerful tool for everything from shopping to organising your day. These devices can also be used to play iPhone bingo, which will allow you to get your bingo fix on the move. When you do choose to play this, you’ll first need to pick if you want to use a bespoke app or prefer to use a mobile optimised site.

In this handy article, we’ll teach you all about these and which may be best for you.

How do you Play iPhone Bingo?

Just connect your iPhone to an internet connection and select a site to play on. When you access some sites, you will be able to play right away and with others you will be prompted to download an app. The most important things to remember when you play is to stay safe and play securely, just like you would when playing on a desktop site.

If you don’t currently have a password or screen lock on your device, then consider adding one if you’re going to be using it for bingo. Storing payment methods and account details happens automatically on a lot of sites, so make sure your device is secure too.

Are Apps or Sites Better?

Whether you prefer to use an app or a mobile bingo site to access games will probably come down to the kind of player that you are. There are advantages and disadvantages to using each, which you’ll want to know about in advance.

Let’s start off by taking a look at mobile bingo sites such as Rocket Bingo, as these are arguably the easiest ones to assess. These are built using what’s known as HTML5 technology, which basically changes the games to fit the device that you are using. There can be a couple of issues with this, like compatibility on older devices but generally they’re simple to use.

There may be a few games that you can’t play on a mobile site, due to compatibility issues. They’re very quick and easy for you to access however, without you having to download any software. If you’re not comfortable with downloading apps then this can be super handy. [Read more…]
