Costa Bingo Review

Costa Bingo is one of the oldest and most respected Dragonfish powered bingo sites; it’s been around since 2009 and is well known for its player promotions.

Costa Bingo is the biggest, busiest and arguably the best of the bingo sites that used to be owned by Mandalay Media and are now under the direct control of 888, who also own the Dragonfish software.

Back in the Mandalay Media days (and especially during the period when ex Spice Girl Mel B was fronting the site), the promotions at Costa were some of the best in the business, including leaderboards, treasure hunts and prize bingo games. Everything has been toned down now but Costa still has some great promotions including the “Free Friday £7K” £1000 bingo games (shared with sister sites) which are accessible by invitation.

The Costa Bingo welcome offer has long been a bingo bonus whereas until recently other sites in the group had a free tickets welcome offer (and Costa had second and third deposit free tickets offers). The free tickets were for specific invitation only bingo rooms that paid out small cash prizes (all gone now, along with the offers), so a bingo bonus does appear to give more flexibility. Not as much as you’d think, though; once you get into the lobby you’ll discover that the bonus can only be used in a small number of “buy in bonus” bingo rooms and that most of the games are in just one 90 ball room. All of the other bingo rooms (and there are plenty of them) are either cash only, or require a recent deposit or specific level in the loyalty scheme.

Ah yes, the loyalty scheme – one of the best things about Costa! It’s shared across all sites in the group and with several other sites including Wink Bingo and 888 Ladies. Diamonds are earned through real money play and can be redeemed in the Costa Shop against free spins, free bingo tickets, bonuses and even real cash, and because the scheme is linked it’s possible to collect Diamonds at one site and redeem at another; the advantage of redeeming at Costa is that some of the shop items including free spins and free bingo tickets pay winnings in cash not bonus. The loyalty scheme has levels but the main purpose of these is to restrict entry to some of the bingo rooms and it’s not possible to be relegated to a lower level. As far as Dragonfish player rewards programs go it’s streets ahead!

Costa is also a great place for slots; there are 1000+ games on offer (again, some of them are real money only).

If you are a fan of the Dragonfish bingo platform, Costa Bingo is definitely a site to check out (if you don’t already have an account there).
