About Bingo.com

Bingo.com is a name that has been around for years and years. It was bought by the Kindred Group (who also own Unibet and 32red) back in 2016 and completely reinvented to run on what was then the almost brand new Relax Gaming bingo platform.

Relax Gaming is not a well known bingo platform in the UK but players should have no concerns about giving it a try; in its launch year bingo.com was chosen by a panel of experts from inside and outside the industry to win the Fair Play Award and you do not need to play for long to see that the site does indeed have an unusual degree of transparency for a bingo site. For example, there’s the display that runs during a game of bingo (in most of the rooms) showing not only which players have 1TG, but which number or numbers they need to win the line or FH prize. They even used to have a game called HexaBingo in which you could see everyone’s cards throughout.

Bingo.com is not just about bingo, though – far from it! There’s an exceptionally good range of slot and casino games to enjoy too.

Bingo at bingo.com

There are six bingo rooms at Bingo.com, plus a seventh which only runs one (£500) game a day. They comprise:

• A regular and a speed 90 ball room with tickets priced at 5p or 10p
• Two 75 ball rooms with the centre square free and prizes for all 5 lines. In one of these, tickets are priced at just 1p and in the other they are 20p.
• Two “75 Var” rooms (where the centre square is not free) The ticket prices may look rather steep (50p and £1) but the quoted price is actually for a strip of 3 tickets not just one.

All of the bingo rooms have jackpots (some of which drop quite often) and regularly run features such as escalator jackpots, BOGOFs, Roll On and 1TG/2TG.

Although the Relax Gaming network only covers two UK facing sites (the other one is Unibet Bingo) the bingo rooms are generally reasonably busy, with a mixture of UK and Scandinavian players, and the prizes are certainly worthwhile. However, there’s no chat; they used to have it but it was never particularly lively (perhaps because of language barriers) and it was eventually removed in early 2024.

Even without chat, there’s much more for players to do in the bingo rooms than at most other bingo sites.

• The games themselves are more exciting to watch than most as not only can you see how close other players are to winning, in the latest version of the Relax bingo software the calls speed up during the boring bits and slow down when there’s more going on.
• You can play around 30 exclusive Relax Gaming minigames, including a couple that are connected to the Dream Drop progressive jackpot.
• Relax run a lot of bingo promotions, usually based around daily bingo or minigame missions. The rewards for these vary from month to month (sometimes it’s raffle tickets and sometimes it’s scratchcards) and the missions vary (they are sometimes seasonal and sometimes based around a new minigame release) but the principle remains the same. There are often further promotions (stake & get, minigame tournaments, random cash drops) based around the same theme.

Other Games at bingo.com

Bingo.com has an absolutely massive selection of more than 3000 slot games from more than 100 different providers. There’s pretty well everything you could ever possibly want from classics such as Cleopatra, Immortal Romance, Fishin’ Frenzy, Book of Dead, Book of Ra, Bonanza and Rainbow Riches to the latest new releases.

Progressive jackpots include Blueprint’s Jackpot King, Relax Gaming’s Dream Drop, Games Global’s Mega Moolah, King Millions and Wowpot, Playtech’s Gladiator and Age of the Gods and Net Ent’s Mega Fortune. The current jackpot size is displayed on the game tile.

Bingo.com does not have much lobby categorisation beyond new games, Kindred exclusives and an area to view games by the provider, but it’s extremely easy to find games you might want to play as there’s a very powerful filtering system that lets you look for games based on features (e.g. colossal symbols, progressive jackpot, sticky wilds), themes (e.g. candy, fishing, Irish), providers and/or paylines.

For example, if you’re interested in Ancient Egypt themed slots with expanding wilds, Bingo.com has 6 games for you to try. Cluster Pays slots themed on gems? There’s 14 of those. And of course, you can also simply search for games by name.

Every game tile also has additional information including provider, number of paylines and volatility. This appears in a pop up on mobile devices and on mouseover on a computer.

Going beyond slots, there are more than 50 Slingo games and a dozen or so scratchcards plus crash games, Plinko, minesweeper and lotto style games and other instant win games, although these are not quite as easy to find as slot games and it helps if you know the name of the game you want.

The Live Casino at bingo.com is mostly powered by Evolution and Pragmatic Play, with a few games from OnAir Entertainment. There’s lobby areas for roulette, blackjack, baccarat, live poker and game shows (of which they have more than 40).

Other Things to Consider

The signature casino promotion at bingo.com is the “Lucky Spin” style of slot tournament with cash prizes. After opting in, players are ranked according to their biggest win relative to stake in a single spin. These run often and there’s usually around 20 games included.

The welcome bonus at bingo.com is flexible and can be used on bingo or slots but the flipside of that is a wagering requirement more suited to a slots bonus than a bingo bonus. The bonusing system also includes minigame spins and bingo vouchers which can be won from raffles, scratchcards and the Bingo Wheel player reward scheme. Vouchers are for use on bingo only and carry a much more modest wagering requirement, and free minigame spins typically pay out in cash.

To play on mobile, the first time you visit you’ll need to type bingo.com into the address bar; you’ll then be given the option to save the site to your home screen so you can get back there easily in future.

Final Thoughts

All in all, Bingo.com is an absolute gem of a bingo site and it’s astounding that it’s not better known in the UK. If you like to play slots and live casino as well as bingo, it could be right up your street.
