bet365 Bingo

Getting Started at bet365 bingo

The registration process at bet365 bingo is very user friendly. Once you’ve entered your details and opted in to hear about free bets and offers, a verification code will be sent by SMS to your mobile phone. Enter the code and as soon as your account is verified (usually immediately) you’ll receive an email with step by step instructions on how to claim the welcome offer (and mere minutes later, a safer gambling email with a full rundown of all their player protection tools).

Depositing at bet365 is super easy. All you need to do is choose your payment method from the drop down menu and enter the details. There are no fees and no payment methods which are not eligible for promotions. The deposit screen also includes a link to set deposit limits and the banking area also includes the Balances screen where you can keep track of your withdrawable balance and any bonuses or bet credits from anywhere on the bet365 site.

Once your account is verified and you’ve made a deposit, you can head into the bingo lobby. You can go directly to the lobby using the Play Bingo button; if you use the Play button to go direct to one of the bingo rooms you can use the button with a picture of a house on it to go to the lobby. Before diving in to play some bingo, however, you’ll need to register a chat name in the bingo lobby. And you also need to hit the My Offers button (located above the list of bingo rooms in the lobby) and opt into both parts of the welcome offer.

Once opted in, you’re ready to play the £10 on bingo to release the free tickets and spins!

Bingo at bet365 bingo

The bingo rooms (more than 20 of them) are listed in the lobby and you can choose to list them alphabetically or sort by start time, number of players, prize size, jackpot size, ticket price, game type or number of players. You can also filter by game type – 90 ball, 75 ball, 30 ball or 80 ball – so (for example) you can bring up a list of 90 ball rooms ranked by number of players.

Included are all of the usual widely networked Pragmatic Play rooms – Diamond Dazzle, Drop Pots, Bingo Blast, the 90 ball network room (which at bet365 is called Space Odyssey) and a number of others – plus several bet365 exclusive rooms. These are not all open all of the time, and sometimes multiple rooms join together for the same game, but there’s always plenty going on including free bingo at lunchtime and in the early evening and penny bingo in some of the other rooms. Player numbers and prize sizes sit nicely in the sweet spot between too quiet and too busy.

Apart from free bingo rooms, all of the rooms listed in the lobby have a Quick Buy button which lets you buy tickets for the next game without having to go into the room first. In the case of free bingo games, you have to be in the room before the game starts to claim tickets.

Pick your room and hit the play button. Inside, you’ll see an array of tickets; you can select the number you want either by clicking/touching them or by choosing the number in the Buy Tickets area. Also inside the bingo room is the chat and slot minigames area; on a large screen you can set this to be all chat, all minigames or half and half. (Don’t get stuck into the minigames just yet though as you must play your £10 deposit through on bingo to collect the welcome offer).

There are several different hosted chat rooms at bet365 bingo, some covering more than one bingo room. The chat hosts are all friendly, helpful and sociable and frequently run chat games with small cash prizes (to play you must have 3 tickets or more in the current game and there’s a £3 daily limit on chat game winnings). The chat games are often themed (e.g. a tennis themed game during Wimbledon) and are usually based round choosing and calling extra numbers.

Your free bingo tickets can be used in any room with a ticket price up to 10p unless there is a BOGOF or other special promotion going on. You’ll see a pop-up when you enter an eligible room letting you know that your free tickets can be used in there, and can then select free tickets on the ticket purchase screen. Free tickets can’t be used to buy advance tickets so you will need to visit the bingo room in the few minutes before the game starts to redeem them. There are plenty of 10p bingo games available in various rooms throughout the day, so it’s easy to find games that will give you the best value.

Slots at bet365 bingo

A big range of slot games, including more than 100 bet365 exclusives, can be accessed without leaving the bingo part of the site. Included are LOTS of popular Pragmatic Play slot games and many of these can also be found inside the bingo rooms as minigames. Progressive jackpots include IGT MegaJackpots, Eyecon jackpots and the bet365 exclusive 8 Immortals.

On a large screen, all slot games have a very helpful info bubble showing the game’s Return to Player, volatility and features (and if you don’t know what RTP and volatility are there’s a link to a help file explaining them).

Apart from slots, there’s a few scratchcards and a selection of table and card games including a couple of Playtech live game shows (more are available elsewhere on site as detailed below)

Usability at bet365 bingo

If you play bet365 bingo from a computer it’s easy to visit and play at other parts of the bet365 site such as the sportsbook and casino (your cash wallet can be used anywhere on bet365). If you visit bet365 from your phone’s web browser, when in the bingo area you need to tap the bet365 logo to see the navigation to other parts of the site.

Bet365 bingo works perfectly well on a phone browser but if you are going to be playing from your phone often there’s an official bet365 bingo mobile app which can be downloaded from the Play Store (Android) or App Store (Apple) and you’ll also see a pop up suggesting you get the app if you visit the bingo area of the bet365 site from your phone’s browser. There are separate apps for sports, games, casino, poker and live casino and if you intend to play any of those regularly from your phone you may want to get the corresponding app.

Promotions at bet365 bingo

There’s always plenty going on at bet365 bingo, with an ever changing array of player promotions. Here’s some examples of recently run promotions to give you an idea of what you might find:

• Meet a spend requirement to gain entry to a free bingo session with cash prizes. You do have to be in the bingo room while the session is going on to claim the free tickets. Typically the player numbers in these would be in the hundreds not thousands so the chance of winning something is not too remote.
• Pragmatic Play Drops & Wins
• Free spins prize draws and sharepots; free spins are always free of wagering requirements
• Sports themed bingo offers (when there’s a major sporting event on)
• Weekly cashback on bingo cash stakes
• Daily free scratchcard with bingo tickets, free spins or cash to be won

Visit the Offers page on the bet365 website to see what’s currently happening and find out more details. You’ll also receive details of current promotions via email. Even if you forget to check the Offers page or read your email you won’t miss out, as when you log on you’ll get a pop-up about any free spins you can claim and banners for other promotions you can opt into.

They also run promotions on Facebook and Twitter.
