How to call bingo
- Choose 75 balls (B-I-N-G-O) or 90 balls under Game. Every player needs a card of the same kind.
- Press Call a number or the space bar. The ball appears big, the voice reads it out and the board lights it up.
- For hands-free calling, press Auto call and pick a pace under Game: a new ball every 3 to 20 seconds until you pause.
- When someone shouts Bingo, check their card against the board. Undo takes back a ball called by mistake, New game clears the board.

Where the caller earns its keep
Bingo nights and fundraisers
Connect a laptop to the hall projector and press Present: the current ball and the full board fill the screen, readable from the back tables. The caller only has to press the space bar.
Classrooms
Number bingo trains listening and number recognition. Switch the voice on and let the class mark their own cards while you walk around the room.
Care homes and family parties
Large, high-contrast numbers and a slow pace of 15 or 20 seconds suit players who need more time. The row of recent balls helps anyone who missed a call.
Video calls
Share your screen and call numbers for friends or colleagues in other places. Everyone plays on printed cards, or on cards drawn on paper.

Questions about the bingo caller
Is the bingo caller fair?
Yes. Every ball still in the bag has exactly the same chance. The secure random generator built into your browser makes each call, with no pattern and no favourite numbers, and a ball never comes up twice in a game.
What is the difference between 75-ball and 90-ball bingo?
75-ball bingo, usual in the US, Canada and Latin America, uses 5 x 5 cards under the letters B, I, N, G and O, so each number is called with its letter, like B 7. 90-ball bingo, played in the UK, across Europe and in the Italian tombola, uses cards of 3 rows by 9 columns, and numbers are called on their own.
How does the voice work?
The page uses your device's built-in speech in the language of this page. It is free, nothing is sent anywhere and it usually works offline. If your browser has no voice for this language, the numbers still show on screen, and you can switch the voice off.
Can I take back a number?
Yes. Undo removes the last called ball from the board, and you can press it more than once. New game clears everything, and the notice that follows lets you undo that too.
Is the game kept if I close the page?
Yes. Called numbers are saved in this browser, so a reload or a closed tab does not lose the game. Nothing is stored anywhere else.
Does it make bingo cards?
Not yet. Use any printed cards for 75 or 90 balls; the board here works with all of them.
Is this a gambling site?
No. There are no bets, payments or prizes here, only a number caller for games you run yourself, at home, at school or at a club.
