About Chat Mag Bingo

It’s always reassuring when a bingo site has the backing of a household name, and in the case of Chat Mag Bingo that household name is publishing giant Future plc. Chat magazine has been thrilling readers with a weekly dose of true life stories for almost forty years; it’s also got a huge following on social media. Prior to 2020, the site ran on the Gamesys platform but now (along with several other bingo sites attached to magazines owned by Future) it’s on Dragonfish.

Most of the Chat Mag Bingo website is only visible after login – all that’s on the home page is a small selection of slot games. There’s lots, lots more to explore for registered players.

Getting Started at Chat Mag Bingo

When Chat Mag Bingo moved to Dragonfish, the player base didn’t carry over, so even if you played at the pre 2020 version of the site you can sign up and claim the welcome offer. Do be aware, though,that you can only have 20 accounts at Dragonfish sites in total, and that there’s a fairly restricted range of payment methods you can use (debit card or Paypal and that’s it).

During the registration process, you’ll be asked to supply your name, address, date of birth and mobile phone number and you’ll need to agree to the terms and conditions and opt into whatever channels (email, SMS, phone, post) you’d like them to use to send you offers. You can also opt into receiving more general news and offers from Future should you so wish. These preferences can be changed at any time.

Your account will normally be verified behind the scenes but should you need to submit ID documents, you can do so securely via the Verification Portal in account settings.

Bingo Rooms at Chat Mag Bingo

At first glance Chat Mag Bingo looks to have different bingo rooms to many other Dragonfish bingo sites, with only Flip It and Mystery Jackpots immediately recognisable. But in fact, Top of the Shop and Easy Peasy are also there, but under a different name, Linked & Loaded (as befits this pair of bingo rooms that have always been widely networked across all Dragonfish powered bingo sites). Also present is 52 ball bingo but it’s called Suit Up whereas elsewhere it’s called Bingo Deal. The wide networking of these bingo rooms means that there’s always people to play with, but be aware that there’s no chat.

Chat Mag Bingo also has a 90 ball room and a 5 line bingo room that are shared with a smaller group of sites, plus a daily sliding jackpot bingo game, housed in its own room to enable players to buy tickets ahead of time. The free bingo at Chat Mag Bingo also consists of sliding jackpot games (running in two rooms), and there’s a further room running 2p bingo games where all of the prizes are spins on various slots.

Slot Games at Chat Mag Bingo

Chat Mag Bingo has a great selection of more than 400 slot games, plus around 50 Slingo titles. The owners of the Dragonfish software have a long standing relationship with Games Global (formerly Microgaming) so you’ll find many of those games here including Immortal Romance (the original and the sequel), 9 Pots of Gold, Avalon, Ancient Fortunes Poseidon Megaways and Thunderstruck II.

Perhaps surprisingly, the progressive jackpots don’t include anything by Games Global – instead, they have a range of games by Eyecon (Temple of Iris, Fluffy, Past The Post, Highland Reels etc).

Other well represented games providers include Pragmatic Play (Big Bass) and Blueprint (King Kong Cash). And there’s many other popular games like Rainbow Riches and Action Bank.

Although there are plenty of games to choose from, Dragonfish are a bit patchy when it comes to new releases. When Eyecon put out a new game it makes an appearance very quickly, but you could be waiting months to get the newest title in the Big Bass series.

Other Things To Consider

The lobby has a special tab where you’ll find all the offers and promotions and any free bingo tickets or free slot spins that you might be awarded (they come as a voucher that you click to launch the bingo room or slot game and redeem). Exclusive to Chat Mag Bingo and other sites in the group is the Prize Wheel; this can be unlocked by competing achievements via play and prizes include free bingo tickets, bonus and spins. There’s also daily deposit offer codes.

As at all Dragonfish sites these days, the welcome bonus and other rewards at Chat Mag Bingo expire if you don’t log in at least once every 5 days. The bingo bonus can be used in most bingo rooms, but some rooms only allow you to enter if you have cash in your account. Some slot games are excluded from bonus play – these are all clearly marked “Real Money Only” in the lobby and there’s still plenty to choose from.

Final Thoughts

With its association with a popular magazine, its extra bingo rooms and its super generous welcome offer, Chat Mag Bingo stands head and shoulders above any other Dragonfish bingo sites.
