Backyard Bingo is our extra live bingo — relaxed sessions that run just before and just after the main session, with their own callers. 🎱

It's a different shape from our themed nights, so it's worth knowing what changes.

There's no fixed time for Backyard Bingo, so there are two ways to catch one:

You'll see each game's prize shown as a pair, like 45 💎 / 10k 🪙 — the Emerald prize and the Gold Coin prize. In a Backyard session, one of them moves and one doesn't.

The Emerald prize builds. 📈 Emerald cards can be added throughout the session, and the Emerald prize grows with them. Each game prize depends on how many emerald cards were added by all players. Watch the figure before a game starts and you'll see it climbing — that's not a display glitch, that's the prize building.

The Gold Coin prize is set. 🪙 In a Backyard session your Gold Coin cards are the 4 free ones — Gold Coin cards aren't available to add. Everyone has the same four, so the Gold Coin prize is a set amount every game.

On our themed nights it works differently: each game has a set prize, decided in advance and announced before the game starts.

Every Backyard session gives you 4 free Gold Coin cards. Gold Coins are our social play — they're for the fun of the game, and Gold Coin games have their own Gold Coin prizes. 🪙

Those 4 cards are your Gold Coin entry for the session — Gold Coin cards aren't available to add in a Backyard session, so everyone's playing the same four. Nothing to buy, nothing to decide.

If you'd like to play for Emerald prizes as well, you can add Emerald cards once the session is running. 💎

Note: the free Emerald card you get on our themed nights is a themed-night benefit. It doesn't apply to Backyard sessions.

Because there's no advance sign-up, everything happens in the session:

You can't add cards to the game currently being called — the next one is the earliest you can join. So if you want in on the next game, add before it starts.

One Emerald per card, however many you add. There are no session packs in Backyard, and Emerald cards are the only cards you can add — your Gold Coin cards are the 4 free ones. Our themed nights work differently; see Getting Your Cards.

Our progressive jackpots run on Power Climb Wednesdays and Mega Win Thursdays only. They don't run in Backyard sessions, and Backyard play doesn't build them.

If you're chasing a progressive, you want a Wednesday or a Thursday — see Ruby Bingo Jackpots.

Pull tab horse races run between the bingo games, same as any night — but Backyard uses its own sets, and there's one difference worth knowing.

Backyard pull tab sets are horse-only. There are no hold ball prizes in a Backyard session — every tab is either a horse or a better-luck-next-time. On our themed nights, sets can carry hold balls as well.

You can play pull tabs with Gold Coins as well as Emeralds — use the currency toggle at the top of the Pull Tabs tab, and tap the ⓘ on any set to see what it is in the currency you're playing. Gold Coin tabs are first come, first served and go quickly, so be watching the floor when a new set appears.

See Horse Races: The Two Ways to Play for how a race works.

Your cards daub themselves, and the caller works through the games one at a time. Patterns, wilds and claiming a win are all exactly as they are on a themed night.
