There is no real strategy for playing bingo online, as it's simply a matter of luck.
I know many who would disagree with the "matter of luck" philosophy. Me being one. With respect to your opinion, I have seen way too much to believe that online sites have much to do with luck.

There is "newbie syndrome" for one. Are newbies "lucky" or is it programmed into the software to let them win in order to get them hooked? Is it "luck" that can make one player who maxes cards win every 3rd or 4th game whereas another player using the same strategy not win one single game in $100 cash plus whatever bonus the site gives?

Land bingo may be more of a "luck" game. IMO online bingo has very little if anything to do with luck. These games are run on software. Someone tells the software what to do, whether it be the developer or the back end management of a site.

Has it anything to do with "luck" when a players account is closed for reasons only the site seems to know? Is it "luck" when a players wins a jackpot just to be told that the game wasn't supposed to play? Is it "luck" when they request a withdrawal after several times of depositing to be told that they cannot have what they won because they are a "management risk" or that they have the most popular excuse "duplicate accounts"? And is it "luck" when those accounts are closed many times with deposits AND winnings still in them?

Online bingo used to be fun until I started looking at all the ways the sites have to keep from paying out wins to SOME players. Not all sites are like this and you hear very little about them.

Your advise to pace yourself is great advice T. Wish I could have been stronger in that area. And looking at it as entertainment, even though it IS gambling will most certainly let you down easier if you don't win. Also good advice!!

Merry Christmas all and the happiest of New Year's!!!
