If you want to find out what days/hours are specifically the best times for playing bingo on the Web, keep reading…

As far as AM or PM is concerned, playing Bingo Cafe’s online bingo games in the morning, lunch time, dark, or bedtime, truly makes no difference at all. However, some Bingo Cafe players have said that the best days to bet online have been on Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s, during mid-week, and at no time on Mondays. As for Saturdays or Sundays, many are strictly neutral down the middle.

Although there is not a thread of actual evidence to support these views (on when is the best time to play online bingo), online bingo games operators like Bingo Cafe assure players that playing bingo on the Web at any time, on any day, offers equal odds of winning bingo.
