Bringo Bingo Review

Bringo Bingo is a Dragonfish bingo site from Ignite, the people behind Costa Bingo. It’s themed on TV quiz shows and shares bingo rooms and a loyalty program with sites such as 888 Ladies as well as with Costa and other Ignite sites.

The theming at Bringo Bingo was absolutely stunning when it first launched in 2017 but it had to be toned down shortly afterwards when the Gambling Commission wrote to operators telling them not to use cartoon characters that might appeal to under 18s in any advertising – including on their own websites. The cartoon game show host therefore had to be removed and the theming now is a shadow of its former self. Although it does go beyond the home page in that the names of bingo rooms and promotions are TV show catchphrases, this doesn’t extend into the bingo lobby.

Bringo was the last Ignite site to launch and not just because of the purge of cartoon characters (of which Ignite sites had many). They were also hit by taxation changes resulting first in the removal of the no deposit bonus they were famous for, and then in the replacement of their rather generous welcome bonus offer with a free tickets offer.

Free bingo tickets at Ignite sites are a bit more flexible than at other Dragonfish sites but you’re not going to win anything big from them as all of the games they can be used in have a prize pool of just £10. The tickets are usable in 4 special bingo rooms (although two of them seem to be running exactly the same game), at the rate of up to 6 tickets per game, and anything you win is paid in cash.

Ticket To Ride/Just The Ticket – 75 ball with 1TG/2TG – £10 prize pool
Golden Ticket – 90 ball – £2 1L, £3 2L, £5 FH
Choo Choo Ticket – 5 line – £2 per line

These bingo rooms are networked to all Ignite sites and are not just for newbies; the redeposit offers at Bringo Bingo and some of the other sites also now consist of free bingo tickets for one of the new rooms. Again, anything you win is paid in cash.

Does this mean Bringo Bingo is a No Wagering bingo site? Alas, no it doesn’t – many of the player rewards, including the bingo bonus and slot spins that can be collected via the loyalty scheme, carry a wagering requirement.

Apart from the free ticket bingo rooms described above, the newbie room, five free £1000 bingo games for depositors that are played every Friday evening and a few other daily and weekly games all of which are exclusive to Ignite sites, Bringo Bingo shares its bingo rooms with 888 Ladies, Wink Bingo and other associated sites. Most of these rooms are cash only with just the widely networked room otherwise known as Chatterbox available to play with bonus.

The promotions page at Bringo Bingo looks pretty full but take a closer look and you’ll see that it is mostly just descriptions of network bingo games and deposit offers and despite the theming they are exactly the same as at other sites on the network.
