There aren't many online bingo rules. However, players will need to mark off five numbers that sit next to one another either vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, to win bingo. Additionally, if you are playing in person, you must call out Bingo  to claim that you have the winning board.

Players match words on their bingo cards with word roots drawn at random. The winner is the first player to get three words in a row, column, or diagonal. Play as few as two rounds or as many as 16 rounds, using one Bingo Lingo card per round. Players take turns being the first to bid at the start of each round.

There are 5 columns and 15 possible numbers in each column. In a standard bingo game with 75 numbers, the numbers are distributed across the five columns in a way that ensures an equal chance for each number to be called. This is achieved by using a random number generator to select the numbers for each column.
