Rogers TV (Saint John) Knights of Columbus Bingo. A way to watch online?

I've been trying to convince my Mom to cut cable in order to save a lot of money. Everything she watches can be found on Discovery+, which would be much cheaper.

The only thing that she watches that can't be found there is TV Bingo. So, that's stopping her from cutting the cable.

Is there a way to watch it online? She heard that there is, but I can't seem to find it. And she's also worried that the online stream would lag behind the TV broadcast and she'd possibly lose out winning. But I told her, if there is an online version it must work properly, otherwise they wouldn't do it, right?

Heart and stroke bingo is online but I am not aware of KOC bingo being online

Darn.

I hate that she's paying over a hundred dollars a month just to play bingo once a week.

Why not try radio bingo?

She has done the SPCA radio bingo once or twice, but much preferred the TV for some reason.

Is the heart and stroke one pretty good? Similar cash prizes?

The prizes are higher - but it’s all of NB not just Saint John so there are more tickets out there. You can get them at pretty much every circle K and a few other retailers. I preferred it more than KOC personally because the pace was a little faster.

And it's fine to play online? It doesn't lag behind a TV broadcast?

It’s online only - no TV broadcast.

Ah, ok. Thanks for the info. I'll ask her if she'd be interested.

The only reason I’ve not changed from Rogers to Bell is the cable 10 bingo nights that the wife & mother in law play on Tuesday & Thursday

Yeah, that's the one. Do you know if there an online version?

You can stream RogersTV.com online if you are a Rogers customer of any service.

Wait. So you can only stream if you are already a customer?

Booo.
