D-7 checklist: be ready calmly on the big day
In short
The checklist we wish we'd had for our very first loto: what to do 7 days, 2 days and 2 hours before the event.
A bingo that goes well is 80% prep and 20% hosting. Here's the timeline our most seasoned customers use — adapt it to your event.
1 D-7 — One week before
- Generate and print the cards (+20% margin).
- Photograph the prizes and enter their values.
- Ask sponsors for their logos and upload them.
- Invite co-hosts with their personal links.
- Test the room screen on the club TV.
2 D-2 — Day before
- Print the host briefing from the editor.
- Prepare the cash box and ticket stubs.
- Check the Wi-Fi quality on site (ideally, plan a 4G hotspot as backup).
- Test the projection in real conditions.
The dress rehearsal
Run a real 10-number session the day before with two friends. Lets you spot what really doesn't work, in calm conditions.
3 D-Day — 2 hours before
- Plug in the projector or TV.
- Open the room screen on the projection display.
- Open the host console on your computer.
- Lay out the cards at the cash desk, ready to hand out.
- Test the microphone and announcement volume.

If your Wi-Fi cuts out, everything is saved server-side. Reload the page and resume exactly where you were. No panic needed.
