90 ball bingo cards – the rules
Did you know that there are rules for where numbers are placed on 1-90 bingo cards?
- Each row must contain 5 numbers
- Each column must contain at least one number
- The first column can only contain numbers 1-9. The second column can only contain numbers 10-19, and so on. The ninth column can only contain numbers 80-90.
- In a set of 6 tickets, which is called a strip, each number appears once and once only. So when you play with a strip of tickets, you’ll be able to daub one (and only one) number somewhere on your strip. If you know the rules of number placement you’ll be able to locate it quickly because you’ll know which column to look for it in!

How to play 90 ball bingo
You’ve got a set of our cards now, so what else do you need? A way of calling the numbers, of course! Android and Apple apps are available for this, and there’s also an awesome online bingo caller on our sister site WDW Bingo. Alternatively you could buy a mechanical bingo cage (available on Amazon for around £20) which is a rather more theatrical way of doing it. Turn the handle of the cage to spit out a numbered ball.
If you do decide to go for the cage, make sure that it has 90 balls (some of them only have 75).
The final thing that you will need is something to daub the numbers with. If you really want to get into it, proper bingo daubers (aka bingo dabbers) are available on Amazon. They are basically marker pens with a stamper on the end instead of a tip, to be used with a dabbing motion rather than a swiping motion. If you don’t want to be bothered with dabbers just cross off the numbers with any old marker pen!
You’re ready to play! Call off the numbers one by one as they come out of the cage or appear on the app. The players must dab their cards and be ready to call Bingo to claim the win. In a traditional game of 90 ball bingo, there are three prizes:
- 1 Line; first player to daub all the numbers in any line
- 2 Line; first player to daub all the numbers in any two lines
- Full House; first player to daub all the numbers on their card
Have fun!
