Free Online Bingo Caller with Sound and Big Screen Mode

This is a free online bingo caller: choose 75-ball, 90-ball or one of our picture and word bingo sets, then press “Call next” or let Auto-call draw a random call every few seconds. Every call shows in huge print with the last few calls and a board of everything called so far, and “Big screen” fills a TV with high-contrast numbers readable from across a room. It can read the calls aloud with your device’s own voice (off until you turn it on), checks a winning card for you, and needs no download, app or sign-up.

How to use the bingo caller

Choose the game. 75-ball bingo (numbers 1 to 75 under B, I, N, G and O, the usual US game), 90-ball bingo (1 to 90, the usual UK and Australian game), or one of our picture or word bingo sets, which match the cards you print from our printable bingo pages.
Call. Press “Call next” (or the space bar) for each call, or press “Auto-call” and pick how many seconds between calls. Every call is random and never repeats, and it lights up on the board.
Put it on the big screen. Press “Big screen” to fill the screen with huge, high-contrast numbers, readable from the back of a lounge or classroom. Connect a laptop to the TV with an HDMI cable, or cast the browser tab. Press Esc to leave.
Turn the voice on if you like. Press “Voice off” to switch the spoken calls on. The voice comes from your own device; turn the TV or speaker up so everyone can hear.
Check a winning card. When someone calls “Bingo!”, press “Check a card”. For our printed picture and word sets, type the card number from the bottom of the card. For number cards, type the numbers the player is claiming. The caller shows which are called and whether the line is complete.

Keyboard shortcuts: Space or N to call the next number or picture; A to start or stop auto-call; U to undo the last call; S to say the last call again; V to voice on or off; F to big screen (TV) mode on or off; C to check a card; Esc to leave big screen mode or close a box.

Running bingo in a care home or day centre

Set up the screen first. Connect the laptop to the lounge TV, open this page, choose the game and press “Big screen”. Sit where you can see the group and reach the space bar.
Go at the group’s pace. Call by hand with the space bar, or use Auto-call at 15 to 30 seconds. Say each call yourself as well, slowly, and repeat it; the screen keeps the last calls in view for anyone who missed one.
Use cards people can read. Our large print Christmas word bingo has one word per square in big, bold letters, and every picture set has the name under each picture. Large counters or a thick marker are easier to handle than small ones.
Check calmly. “Check a card” shows the card on screen with the called squares marked, so a winner can be confirmed in front of everyone without anyone feeling rushed.
Keep it a pastime. Bingo is a sociable game, not a therapy. Play a few short rounds, chat about the pictures, and stop while people are still enjoying it.

Using it in the classroom or at home

Put the caller on the interactive whiteboard and play picture bingo with our seasonal cards: young children match the pictures, early readers practise the words under them, and the class can take turns pressing “Call next”. For a quick number game, 75-ball calls make good place-value practice (“G 52: five tens and two ones”). At home it turns a family game night or a party into proper bingo with no one stuck being the caller.

Questions

What is a bingo caller?

A bingo caller draws the numbers (or pictures) one at a time at random and announces them, so players can mark them on their cards. This online bingo caller does the drawing for you: it never repeats a call, keeps a board of every call so far, can call automatically at the speed you choose, and can read the calls aloud.

Is this bingo caller free? Do I need an app?

Yes, it is free and runs in your web browser on a computer, tablet, phone or smart TV browser. There is nothing to download and no account. Your game is kept in this browser only, so a page refresh does not lose your calls. A few adverts on the page, kept well away from the caller, pay for the site.

What is the difference between 75-ball and 90-ball bingo?

75-ball bingo uses a 5 × 5 card with a free centre square and the letters B, I, N, G, O over the columns (B is 1 to 15, I 16 to 30, N 31 to 45, G 46 to 60, O 61 to 75); it is the usual game in the US and Canada. 90-ball bingo uses tickets of 3 rows and 9 columns with 15 numbers; players usually win for one line, then two lines, then a full house. It is the usual game in the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.

Does it work with your printable bingo cards?

Yes. Choose the same set in the caller, for example “Christmas picture bingo”, and it calls the same 30 pictures that are on the cards from our printable bingo pages. “Check a card” knows every printed card by the number at the bottom (“Card 7 of 24”), so it can confirm a bingo straight away.

How do I show the bingo caller on a TV?

Connect a laptop to the TV with an HDMI cable, or cast the browser tab from Chrome or Edge (or use AirPlay from an iPad), then press “Big screen”. The numbers fill the screen in white and yellow on dark blue, with the last few calls and the whole board beside them. Keep the laptop near you to press “Call next”, or use Auto-call.

Can the bingo caller say the numbers out loud?

Yes. Press “Voice off” to switch it to “Voice on”. It uses the speech voice built into your device or browser, so nothing is sent over the internet and it also works without a connection once the page has loaded. Press “Say again” (or S) to repeat a call. If you hear nothing, check the volume and that your browser has a voice installed.

Is it suitable for a care home or dementia group?

Yes, it is made with activity coordinators in mind: very large, high-contrast numbers, a slow auto-call (up to 30 seconds between calls) or call by hand at the group’s pace, the last calls always on screen, and large print word bingo cards to print. Bingo is a social pastime, not a treatment; follow each person’s lead and keep sessions short and relaxed.

Is this gambling?

No. It is a free caller for playing bingo for fun at home, in class or in a care home. There is no money, no stakes and nothing to buy in the game.
