Bingo Auto-Play Timer

Let the game call its own numbers. Pauses for claims, resumes after.

1

What Auto-Play Does

Auto-Play calls a new bingo number every few seconds without you tapping anything. When a player claims a win, the timer pauses automatically so you can verify. After you mark the claim valid or invalid, the timer resumes.

2

Turn It On

In Bingo, look for the Auto-Play toggle near the Next Ball button. Tap it on. A timer slider appears.

3

Pick Your Pace

The slider goes from 3 seconds (very fast) to 30 seconds (slow and theatrical). For most pub bingo nights, 8-12 seconds works well. Set 6 seconds if your crowd are experienced. Set 15-20 if you want time for chatter and reactions.

4

Claims Pause It Automatically

When a player on a phone hits Claim, the timer freezes and a verification panel opens on your host page. Tap Winner or Bogey Call. The timer resumes after 2 seconds.

5

Pause Manually

Tap the Pause button to stop the timer. Useful for chat, announcements, or just to let the room breathe. Tap Resume to continue.

When to Use It

  • You're hosting on the mic and want hands-free operation - set 10 seconds and let it run
  • You're new to bingo and worried about pace - the timer keeps you consistent
  • You want a fast-paced bingo bash - try 4 second auto-play
  • Switch off auto-play for the final ball or two to build dramatic tension
