Electronic bingo flashboards cost $1,500–$4,000 and need dedicated hardware. BingoBoardTV is a virtual flashboard that runs on any TV or projector you already own — the same giant B‑I‑N‑G‑O board, last-called number, and last-5 ribbon, readable from across the hall.

A bingo flashboard is the big lit-up board that shows every number as it's called so the whole room can follow along. Traditionally it's a large electronic sign wired to a caller's console — great to look at, but expensive to buy, bulky to store, and a pain to repair.
BingoBoardTV replaces that hardware with software. Plug a laptop into your TV with an HDMI cable, open the board in your browser, and you have a full digital flashboard — for the price of a couple of coffees a month.

BingoBoardTV was built for the people who actually run community bingo — VFW and Legion posts, churches, Elks, Moose and Eagles lodges, Knights of Columbus, fire companies, and senior centers. Big numbers, a high-contrast display, and simple click-or-type calling mean any volunteer can run the board.
“This is exactly what we needed.”
The hall watches a clean, animated flashboard. You run everything from a private control room — no scrolling, no cursor, no clutter on the big screen.
