888 Ladies

About 888ladies

888ladies is so named because it was originally conceived as a female friendly bingo counterpart of 888casino. Quite apart from the world having moved on from the idea of bingo only being for the ladies, and of ladies not being interested in casino games, the name is also now doubly out of date. Why? Firstly because 888ladies along with all of its sister sites and the entire Dragonfish bingo platform was sold at the end of 2021 to Broadway Gaming (the operator of Butlers Bingo), and secondly because 888 Holdings itself has now rebranded to evoke plc.

Being named after an organisation that no longer exists in that form, and not having “bingo” in its name, is not ideal for a bingo site, but the brand is well known enough to stick with it.

Unlike the majority of Dragonfish brands, 888ladies is not and never has been a skin site – it’s always been both owned and operated by the current owner of the Dragonfish platform, giving it a special status. You can expect it to be in the first wave of Dragonfish sites to get lobby upgrades and other innovations (such as the experiment that was carried out a while back with live streaming in one of the bingo rooms).

888ladies also has promotions that are only available at house owned sites, and retains hosted chat (though not 24/7) while many other Dragonfish brands no longer have it at all.

Bingo at 888ladies

888ladies is unusual amongst Dragonfish sites in that you can see some of the bingo rooms without logging in – normally everything is hidden away in the lobby and only visible to registered players . In 2025, here’s what’s on offer:

• Top Of The Shop – a 90 ball network room with a progressive jackpot
• Easy Peasy – a 75/25 (5 line) network room
• Mystery Jackpot – a 75/24 (pattern) bingo room where the prize (of £10 – £500) is revealed just before the game starts and after ticket sales have closed.
• Bingo Deal – a 52/5 (playing card based) bingo room
• The YOYO – a 75/24 room where the prize (of £10 – £30) is determined by the number of calls in which the game is won
• Flip It – a 90 ball room where the biggest prize is for 1 line
• On The House – a free bingo room open to players who have deposited in the last 14 days. The games have a prize pool of £2.
• Any network special rooms that Dragonfish are currently running – in 2025, there have been monthly jackpot games

You can buy tickets for the next game in any bingo room you’re allowed into and the new Express Buy feature lets you do that for several bingo rooms at once without leaving the lobby. You can’t, however, buy tickets ahead of time for any games that play later on. Almost all bingo tickets at Dragonfish are priced at 5p.

The bingo rooms at 888ladies have hosted chat, but only at busy times of day. Visit outside of those hours and you’ll find that the chat window is not present, with no indication of when it might be back.  As for prize money, the Dragonfish network is much smaller than it once was so it’s not great, especially at off peak times.

Slots at 888ladies

The range of slot games at 888ladies is very much skewed towards one provider – Games Global aka Microgaming. This has been the case since Broadway took over. They do have popular games by other providers – Rainbow Riches, Big Bass Bonanza, Fishin’ Frenzy, Fluffy Favourites (and some of the sequels to all of these) but the Microgaming back catalogue has the best representation. The games library is also not very up to date as they seem to be very patchy with new releases from some providers, often not adding games until months after launch.

The slots lobby is designed for fuss free mobile use and is therefore quite basic, with little in the way of game categorisation, so unless you immediately spot a game you like in New Releases or A-List (the most popular games) you’ll either have to scroll through the “complete list” until something catches your eye or search by name for the game you want.

888ladies has around 60 progressive jackpot slots, all of which are by just one provider, Eyecon. They aren’t all connected to the same jackpot – there are at least 4 different ones and you can see the current jackpot size on the game tile.

There’s also a good selection of Slingo games but they don’t have their own lobby area so again, you’ll need to use the search box to locate them.

888ladies does not have any casino games at all – it’s very much slots (and Slingo) only.

Hundreds (possibly all) of the slot games at 888ladies can be played as minigames in any of the bingo rooms; all of the lobby categories and the search box are replicated so you can find and play a huge range of slots without leaving the bingo room you are in.  Bear in mind that a few of the slot games can’t be played with bonus (easy to spot as they are labelled Real Money Only in the lobby).

Other Things To Consider

The loyalty program at 888ladies is the same as at Wink Bingo and other Dragonfish sites directly owned by Broadway Gaming. You collect loyalty coins through play and via player promotions and redeem them in the shop for bonuses, spins, free bingo tickets or real money. A little known advantage of this particular loyalty scheme is that coins collected at one site in the group can be redeemed at any other site where you have an account. 888ladies also often runs other player promotions (usually deposit based) and these can be found in the My Zone area of the lobby.

Dragonfish bonuses used to have the major advantage of being valid indefinitely as long as you logged in and played regularly but this is now a thing of the past and they have an expiry of just 5 days – be mindful of this when claiming the welcome bonu. Disappointingly, player rewards also expire if you don’t log in at least once every 5 days.

When it comes to payment options, there’s not a lot of choice at 888ladies. If you don’t want to use a debit card the only alternative is Paypal.

Final Thoughts

Dragonfish is certainly not what it was in its heyday – there are fewer bingo rooms with smaller prizes and player numbers are down. Nevertheless, many players remain fans of this classic bingo software. If you’re one of them, and you don’t already have an account at 888ladies, it is well worth a visit.
