Free Bingo Tournaments Daily At Gala Bingo
Published On 8th October 2024
Back in February 2024 we told you that Gala Bingo had added free bingo tournaments to their already impressive roster. Players who got involved in these tournaments could win points by winning 1L, 2L and full house prizes plus there were additional points on offer for roll on jackpot winners, 1TG and 2TG. Players with the most points and who therefore topped the leaderboards would win free bingo tickets. Bingo tournaments are still a feature of Gala but since September 2024 it looks as though the brand have made some changes to how the games work.
Daily Free Bingo Tournaments
Free bingo tournaments take place at Gala Bingo every hour on the hour daily. To take part in the tournaments you need to login to Gala, be eligible and also opt-in. According to the terms, eligible players "will be able to opt into each Tournament as soon as this is visible in the Bingo Tournaments Lobby until 10 minutes before the end of the Tournament Duration. Times and Tournament Durations can be viewed on the Bingo Tournaments Lobby". When you enter a tournament game you'll receive 36 bingo tickets. Note that these have no monetary value although you will see a 10p value displayed on the ticket. At eyes down the tournament bingo game will play. As it's a 90 ball game they'll be a one line, two line and full house points prize available. The aim of the free bingo tournament is to try and get as many points as you can and top the leaderboard.
Points Make Prizes
Points can be won for 1L (30), 2L (50) and the full house (100). However you can also collect points in other ways. Roll On winners can pick up 15 points whilst 1TG and 2TG players either get 50 points each or share 50 points - it's not clear which. As before there's an Everyone's A Winner pot and this is a share of 2000 points. These are the same as before but not there are extra features. Players with no wins share 1000 points (although Everyone's A Winner so how does this one work?). Players can also collect 100 points for the fastest 1L, 2L or a FH within X ball calls, 100 points for completing 1L, 2L or a FH on a double digit, and 100 points for completing 1L, 2L or a FH on a special number. Players who win the big points obviously have the best chance of winning prizes from the leaderboard but you can also build your total by playing in as many hourly tournament games as you can. However it's worth noting that there are two leaderboards - one for games played between 00.01 and 17.59 and another for games played between 18.00 and 23.59. Points only count for tournament games played during those times.
Win Free Bingo Tickets
For Tournament 1 (00.01 and 17.59) there are 175 prizes on offer including a top prize of 50 free bingo tickets. Second place gets 20 bingo tickets whilst third will receive 15. Those finishing 4th - 8th get 10 tickets, 9th - 30th pick up 5 free tickets and the remainder up to position 175 collect three tickets each. In the later tournament (18.00 and 23.59) the top three players pick up £10, £5 and £1 cash respectively. Those finishing 4th - 8th get 20 bingo tickets, 9th - 30th receive 15 tickets, 31st - 100th 10 tickets and the remainder down to 175 all get 5 tickets each. The prizes are obviously better for the later tournament but it will most likely attract more players and therefore make it harder to win a prize. However it's free to play so you've nothing to lose by getting involved. Terms apply and for this promotion they're as follows: 18+. Opt-in once per Bingo Tournament. Available daily in the Bingo Tournaments Lobby. Max 36 tickets per player/Bingo Tournament. Prizes include: Bingo Tickets (valued £0.01-£0.05, can be used in any bingo room, valid for 7 days). T&Cs apply.
Has Anything Else Changed?
It does seem that Gala Bingo have made some improvements to their free bingo tournaments. This includes creating two leaderboards for day/evening play, adding more ways to win points and increasing the prizes on offer. Previously you could only win bingo tickets and not cash prizes. However it does also seem that Gala Bingo have dropped their daily free bingo games. If that is correct then we're guessing that the aim is to reward those players who spend more time at Gala by playing in the tournament games than freebie hunters who may just quickly pop-in for the chance to win a free cash prize. It also helps reduce costs because over seven days Gala will only pay out £112 in actual cash, the rest is in the form of free bingo tickets. In terms of tangible prizes that's quite small and perhaps another site of the way online bingo is changing.
