CUE's Bingo offers two distinct play modes that serve different engagement and business goals. In auto-stamp mode, the system automatically marks tiles on fans' bingo cards as events are called — fans simply participate, watch the event, and check at the end to see if they won without actively monitoring their cards. This mode is ideal when your primary goal is data capture and passive participation. In manual mode, fans must actively tap each tile to stamp it when events are called, creating a more engaging, game-like experience. The engagement difference is significant: manual mode users average 27-34 minutes of active engagement per session because they're incentivized to pay attention and react quickly throughout the game. Manual mode also rewards attentive fans with faster stamp times, which provides a competitive advantage when prizes are limited to the first few winners. Pulsing/blinking tiles in manual mode still make it easy for more passive fans to catch up when they check their card. Choose manual mode when you want to maximize engagement metrics, sponsor dwell time, or create a competitive gaming experience. Choose auto-stamp mode when you want bingo to run passively alongside other event activities or your primary objective is data capture rather than extended platform engagement.
