BOGOF Bingo is a Grace Media bingo and slots site, relaunched for 2024 under new ownership.

About BOGOF Bingo

BOGOF Bingo in its present form was launched in 2021. Prior to that, it was a Virtue Fusion bingo site for many years but neither the player base nor the ownership of the previous version has endured and it’s essentially a new site.

Grace Media bingo sites were quite popular back in 2021 but became less so after the introduction of a new lobby and the removal of chat from the bingo rooms. The product is now seeing a resurgence of interest from players and the popular bingo sites Chit Chat Bingo and UK Bingo have moved to Grace Media from Dragonfish.

Shortly after that, the operator behind these two sites took over BOGOF and we understand that their exclusive bingo room, the Royal Room, may put in an appearance at BOGOF in the not too distant future.

Bingo at BOGOF Bingo

BOGOF Bingo has always struck us as a bit of an odd name for a bingo site, firstly because although they do have some BOGOFs they are exactly the same as at other sites on the same platform and secondly because BOGOFs in the context of a bingo game don’t make a lot of sense; if you give all of the players to a bingo game twice as many tickets without increasing the prize money, they have the same overall chance of winning as they had before. It’s clearly been popular with players though, or they wouldn’t be reusing it.

BOGOF Bingo has bright theming using photos of real people against colourful backgrounds, which is used in the bingo rooms as well as in the lobby and on the promotions page. As part of the theming, the names of most of the bingo rooms used to be different to what you’d normally expect at a Pragmatic Play site; they were called things like Roller Coaster and The Big One. As they were the same rooms underneath as at any other Pragmatic Play bingo site, this was a potential source of confusion for players and it’s hardly surprising that they have stopped doing it.

So what bingo rooms do they actually have? Essentially, it’s all of the Pragmatic Play network rooms, comprising:

75 ball, 90 ball, 30 ball and 80 ball bingo rooms. It does not say which is which on the bingo room tiles but the lobby is tabbed between 75, 80 ,90 and All.
The Heavy Weight (daily) and Super Heavy Weight (weekly) jackpots
Diamond Dazzle, a 90 ball bingo game that plays very much like Deal Or No Deal Bingo
The speed 90 ball bingo game Bingo Blast (aka Snowball Blast aka Beachball Blast)
The 50 ball Pragmatic Play special Animingo
Whatever seasonal special bingo room Pragmatic Play are running at the time
Drop Pots, a 90 ball room with three jackpots
The Reels Room, where you can win slot spins

These last two are not as widely networked as the others (Jumpman sites, for example, don’t have these rooms)

As at many other Pragmatic Play bingo sites, there’s no chat at all at BOGOF Bingo. Nor are there any exclusive bingo rooms – yet. If the Royal Room does get added, expect there to be chat in that room only (shared with the other two sites).

Other Games at BOGOF Bingo

Slot games at BOGOF are organised into tabs – Hot Slots, New, Fluffy and All Games are the main ones and there’s also a tab which changes with the seasons (it was Xmas Slots when we visited in November 2024). If you don’t see anything you want to play in any of these tabs, you can either scroll through the hundreds of games in the All Games tab, or bring up the search box. Here, you will find that you can also filter the games by provider; this is very handy given that they work with more than 40 different games studios.

If you’d like to play something other than bingo or slots, BOGOF Bingo has a few scratchcards and Lucky Tap games mixed up with everything else on the All Games list but there are no table games in any shape or form and nor is there any Slingo. There’s also no progressive jackpot slots at all.

Other Considerations

The promotions page at BOGOF Bingo is very decidedly a cut above what you’ll find at most Grace Media online casinos, thanks to the new owners’ policy of running their own promotions rather than relying on the network to do it for them. For example, when we visited in November 2024 there was a Bonus Calendar promotion with a different deposit offer code for each day of the week, valid for use once a day throughout October and November.

BOGOF Bingo offers a good range of deposit methods and there are no restrictions on which ones can be used to claim the welcome offer. Although there is a fee for withdrawing, it only applies for withdrawals of less than £30 so it’s easy to avoid being charged.

Final Thoughts

BOGOF Bingo is probably most suitable for players who like to play slots as much as they like to play bingo, and aren’t bothered about the lack of chat; the bingo is far from being an afterthought, however, with a good choice of rooms running different types of bingo and some substantial prizes.
