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.
30-Ball Bingo
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.
- Give everyone a card and explain the winning pattern.
- Call one unused number from 1–30, keeping a record of calls. Players mark matches on their cards.
- 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.
