In the landbased bingo halls, bingo callers have over the years created a structure of nicknames for the bingo ball numbers. This enables them to have a little fun while also repeating the number. This can be quite important in a busy bingo hall! So, even when you're playing online bingo and you hear "Legs Eleven" being called, simply pop over to our page and you will see that the caller is simply using a traditional form of calling. Here is our list of bingo nicknames. Please also note that this list will never be complete and if any of you know of other bingo nicknames, please mail us with the details! The traditional start to a bingo game is the call of "eyes down" by the caller and then the game is on!
