30-ball bingo cards & rules

A compact nine-square card is useful when you want fewer squares to scan. Use this 30-ball format for a short group game, with the winning pattern explained before calling begins.

The editor asks before replacing an existing draft. Choose card count and paper in Print; saved output versions are kept.

Sample arrangement · Your generated batch has its own fixed cards.

The nine-number card

BingoMint’s 30-ball preset uses a 3 × 3 card with nine numbers and no free center. The three columns use 1–10, 11–20 and 21–30. Every square contains a number; each generated card has a distinct arrangement within the batch.

Choose a pattern and play

For a simple game, use the full card: all nine numbers must have been called. A row, column or diagonal is another option if announced in advance. The smaller card does not guarantee a particular game length or a single winner.

  1. Give everyone a card and explain the winning pattern.
  2. Call one unused number from 1–30, keeping a record of calls. Players mark matches on their cards.
  3. Pause for Bingo and check the marked pattern against your call record. Decide how simultaneous winners are handled before the game.

Print a short-game batch

Open the 30-ball preset, set your card count and choose the paper layout in Print. Generate before exporting the full PDF. One card per page provides more marking space; two or four cards per page uses less paper. Print at Actual size on the selected paper and cut multi-card sheets into separate cards.

Reuse or extend the original batch

Saved PDF outputs retain their original card numbers and arrangements. Add more cards in Print to extend a completed batch without replacing existing cards. If you already started a caller game, start a new game from the expanded batch to include those added card numbers.

Common questions

Can I use words instead of 30 numbers?

Yes. Choose Custom in Setup and use a 3 × 3 grid with your own word or image pool. That is a custom game rather than this numbered 30-ball preset.

Is full house the only supported target?

No. The local caller also offers its displayed grid patterns. Always announce the selected target before players start marking.
