Bingo Online Terms of Use

  1. Acceptance of Terms of Use

Bingo.org provides its service to you subject to the following Terms of Use, which may be updated by us from time to time without notice to you. By using this web site, you agree to be bound by these terms of use.

  1. Description of Service

Bingo.org offers bingo news, articles and game strategies. Our website also reviews and advertises selected or affiliated bingo rooms but does not provide online bingo gaming as we are not a bingo operator. As for the content that you read on Bingo.org, be assured that it is copyrighted content and that any use, without the express written consent of Bingo.org is a violation of trademark laws and applicable copyright. Due to the fact that bingo operators frequently make changes to their information, promotions, rules and guidelines without prior notice, we cannot make a guarantee of any kind as to the accuracy, currency, or completeness of any information that you find on this website. For these reasons some of the information displayed on this website can be inaccurate or outdated and, therefore, wrong. Nothing on this website should be taken to constitute professional advice or a formal recommendation and we exclude all representations and warranties relating to the content and use of this site.

Accordingly, our website is not responsible for any errors that are present in our content and we reserve the right to make changes at any time to any text, link, graphic or promotion that is listed on our website, without notice. Bingo.org recommends that you double check with the bingo room’s website so that any inaccuracy can be avoided.

Also make sure to check your local laws before you sign up and start playing at any online bingo room that we advertise for or are affiliated with. Online bingo must be legal in your town, city, state, region or country of residence and you must be of legal age and pay applicable taxes in your country. Bingo.org also urges you to be responsible with respect to your online gaming and to respect all local and national laws in the area where you are playing or are going to play.

In this guide Bingo.org shares information and opinions about specific online bingo rooms as well as the online bingo industry in general. If you choose to use the information to start playing at one or more online bingo rooms (including the ones Bingo.org links to), then it is your decision to do so. Playing at an online bingo room is a personal choice that the player will have to claim full responsibility for. You confirm that you understand that it is possible that you lose some or all of the money that you wager. You also confirm that Bingo.org is not responsible for your losses. Any losses that are incurred while playing are your own responsibility and not the responsibility of our website, or any other company or supplier that is affiliated with Bingo.org.

Besides not making warranties of any kind on accuracy and currency of information, Bingo.org also makes no warranties of any kind as to the fitness for use and for the bugs, errors, computer viruses or defects in any software provided by the bingo rooms, third parties or ourselves which could harm your personal computer or other personal device.

In no event will Bingo.org be liable for any incidental, indirect, consequential or special damages of any kind, or any damages whatsoever, including, without limitation, those resulting from loss of profit, loss of contracts, goodwill, data, information, income, anticipated savings or business relationships, whether or not advised of the possibility of such damage, arising out of or in connection with the use of this website or any linked websites.

By using this website you agree to the exclusions and limitations of liability stated above and accept them as reasonable. Do not use this website if you do not agree that they are reasonable.

If any of the points in this disclaimer notice are found to be unenforceable under applicable law, that will have no bearing on the enforceability of the rest of the disclaimer notice.All information contained at this web site is provided “as is” and without warranty of any kind.

By visiting our web site and the rooms listed thereon, you confirm you understand, that it is possible to lose some or all of the monies deposited and wagered and that you cannot and will not hold Bingo.org responsible for such losses. Any losses incurred as a result of your playing at any rooms listed on Bingo.org are not the responsibility of our website or its affiliated companies, contractors or suppliers.

  1. Your Obligations

Bingo rooms listed on our web site are likely to change their promotions, rules and regulations on a regular basis. Individual bingo rooms can, and often will, cancel a promotion without prior notice. Bingo.org recommends that you check the rules and restrictions on the bingo room’s web site before playing on that site.

By using this web site, you agree that you shall not: (1) provide any content or conduct yourself in any way that: may be (a) construed as unlawful, threatening, harmful, abusive, stalking, tortuous, defamatory, libelous, vulgar, hateful, obscene, offensive, racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable, pornographic, (b) designed to interfere or interrupt this web site or any service provided, (c) infected with a virus or other computer code, files or programs designed to interrupt, destroy or limit the functionality of any computer software or hardware, (d) giving rise to a civil or criminal liability, or in violation of an applicable local, national or international law; (2) impersonate any person or entity, including, but not limited to, a Bingo.org official, forum leader, or falsely state or otherwise misrepresent your association with any person or entity, forge or otherwise seek to conceal or misrepresent the origin of any content provided by you; (3) collect or harvest any data about other users of this web site; (4) provide or use this web site for the provision of any content or service in any commercial manner, or in any manner that would involve junk mail, spam, chain letters, pyramid schemes, or other form of unauthorized advertising, without Bingo.org’s prior written consent; and (5) provide any content that may give rise to civil or criminal liability of directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, advertisers, partners of Bingo.org or its affiliated companies, or that may constitute or be considered a violation of any local, national or international law including, but not limited to, laws relating to copyright, trademark, patent or trade secrets.

FAQs about Privacy

What are Cookies and how do we use them?

A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer’s hard drive. Cookies are developed to standards, tightly restricted, and under no circumstance do we have direct access to your PC, hard drive or any other of your devices. We may send you more than 1 cookie depending on the services you are interested in.

If you choose not to accept these cookies, some features may not work as intended. We collect information about use of the website through cookies.

These analytics services are inter alia provided by third parties and may use cookies, for example, to collect statistics about the behavior of users/visitors and remembering preferences.

Interest-Based Advertising – We use advertising provided by third party advertising networks to help pay for the cost of running the site and allow the user to view the website without paying a registration fee. These advertising companies may collect information about the user while the user is visiting the website.

In most cases (except, by way of example, in the case of essential cookies), we strictly adopt the following policies: the identity of all users are kept anonymous and session cookies are deleted after each session/browser shut down.

We use a small number of our own cookies, most of which are essential to allow the site to work as intended. By continuing to use the website, the user is consenting to allow us to store the information contained in these cookies on his computer, tablet or smartphone.

The user may, however, be able to configure his browser to accept or reject all or some cookies, or notify him when a cookie is set – each browser is different, so check the “Help” menu of the browser to learn how to change cookie preferences – but disabling cookies may impact the functionality of the website.
