A bingo number caller for home, class and events
This bingo caller replaces the cage of balls with a fair digital draw. Choose 75-ball (the US format, with B-I-N-G-O columns of 15 numbers) or 90-ball (the UK format), then press Call next ball. Each number appears in large type, lights up on the board and is added to the recent-calls list, so players who missed it can catch up. Every number is drawn exactly once until the game is reset.
Turn on Auto-call to call a new ball every 3, 5 or 8 seconds, and tick Read numbers aloud to use your device’s built-in speech voice — handy for large rooms, care homes, classrooms and video calls. Players can use printed cards or any bingo card app; when someone shouts “Bingo!”, pause and check their card against the board.

- Choose 75-ball or 90-ball.
- Press Call next ball, or turn on Auto-call and choose a speed.

A 75-ball card is a 5×5 grid with a free center square. In 90-ball bingo, tickets have three rows of nine columns and prizes are usually awarded for one line, two lines and a full house.
Frequently asked questions
Is the bingo caller random?
Yes. At the start of each game all balls are shuffled with cryptographic randomness, and each is called exactly once.
Can the bingo caller read numbers out loud?
Yes. Tick “Read numbers aloud” — it uses your browser’s built-in text-to-speech, so no audio files are downloaded.
What is the difference between 75-ball and 90-ball bingo?
75-ball is common in North America and uses B-I-N-G-O columns on 5×5 cards. 90-ball is common in the UK and uses tickets with 15 numbers across three rows.
Do I need to print bingo cards?
Players need cards from somewhere — printed, hand-drawn or from an app. The caller handles the draw and the board.
