Main Features
1. Anyone can join with paper bingo cards
In Japan, bingo cards are often used as both game cards and prize redemption tickets. Players punch out called numbers by hand, making bingo a fun physical experience that people of all ages can enjoy.
With paper bingo cards, participants can scan the card number QR code on their card and load it onto a smartphone. Reach and bingo checks are fully automated, so they can enjoy the event instead of desperately searching for each number.
With the official bingo cards, the numbers can still be pressed through as holes, so bingo remains fun even without a smartphone.
To use the virtual card feature, bingo cards with card number QR codes are required.
If you use general retail bingo cards, the number layout differs from the official cards. Participants can still check drawn numbers on their smartphones, but the virtual card feature will not work.
2. Smartphone support for both participants and staff
BINGO LINK solves common complaints such as “I cannot see the numbers from far away” and “It takes too long to find each number on my card.” With smartphone delivery in cloud mode, participants simply scan the participant app QR code and see the latest draw result on their own device in real time.
When they also scan the card number QR code on their paper bingo card, a virtual card is shown on the phone and reach / bingo checks are handled automatically.
It also solves the staff-side problem of manually checking paper cards. Staff members can scan the card number QR code on a participant's card and instantly see the bingo status, reducing long prize-claim lines caused by manual verification.
Even if the QR area is damaged and cannot be scanned, staff can still confirm the result instantly by entering the 3-digit card number.
You can even scan a friend's card number QR code and check their bingo progress too. Up to 10 cards can be displayed virtually.
3. Easy-to-read digital draw screens with sound effects
The digital draw screen is large and easy for everyone to see. Built-in sound effects such as Japanese drums and drum rolls help create excitement and make the event feel more alive.
With multiple displays, projectors, or TVs, the draw becomes easier to see than with a small analog machine.
To set up multiple venue screens, you can use Windows multi-display support or open the board URL on browser-capable devices such as smart TVs or Fire TV Stick devices.
Browser-capable smart TVs and streaming devices are convenient, but older built-in browsers or lower-performance devices may show unstable updates or fullscreen behavior. Please test in advance and consider using a PC or tablet if needed.
The history of drawn numbers is also shown prominently at all times, so everyone can follow the game more easily.
When smartphone delivery is enabled, the upper-right corner of the draw screen also shows the participant app QR code.
4. Also supports analog bingo machines
If you prefer a traditional physical bingo machine, BINGO LINK also supports analog operation by entering only the drawn numbers.
Even with an analog machine, participants can check the drawn number on their smartphones and staff can confirm bingo instantly by scanning card number QR codes, giving both sides a smoother experience.
If you need to switch between digital and analog modes during an event, all previous draw results remain intact.
Try it first, then use it live
Here is a recommended flow to fully try BINGO LINK's smartphone-linked features before your real event.
Step 1
Check the atmosphere in the browser version first
Open the browser version from the top button and check the screens, sound effects, and overall feel right away. No installation is required, and the “mobile delivery demo” is also available.
Completely free / No installationStep 2
Try the Windows version with smartphone linking for free
If you want to test the full draw and smartphone delivery flow, try the free Windows app.
After installing it on a Windows PC, you can use local delivery and actually play within the same network.
Even if you do not have paper cards on hand, entering a card number from 001 to 999 on a smartphone will show a virtual card, so you can test freely without extra cost.
Because local delivery is not HTTPS, some phones may block camera access due to security rules. In that case, participants can still display a virtual card by entering the card number.
Cloud delivery uses secure HTTPS communication, so camera access is normally available.
Completely free / Can work offline Get the Windows version from Microsoft StoreStep 3
For production, the browser version is the safer choice
For a live event, the browser version with cloud delivery is recommended because it is better suited for larger numbers of connections and more stable operation.
With cloud delivery, participants can scan the card number QR code on their paper card and immediately see their virtual card on their smartphone.
If you expect more than 10,000 participants in one event, please contact us in advance.
