Most software providers support other gaming features as "Best Card Sorting" and "Best Card Highlighting" where players cards are sorted and highlighted by closest to bingo. Some of these features are designed to free players to enjoy the communal pleasantries of the chat features.

Two types of Bingo: 90 balls and 75 balls.

There are two types of bingo played around the world. North America plays 75-ball bingo on a 5x5 card with the centre square usually marked 'free'. In the UK, parts of Europe, Australia and parts of South America they play a 90-ball game, marked on a 9x3 card. Both types of bingo are prominent online.

The different bingo patterns which players aim to achieve in 75 or 90 ball can vary, from a simple single line to more complicated themed patterns.

Both types of Bingo, 75 and 90, can be played at must online bingo halls.
