Costa Bingo Review

Costa Bingo is one of the oldest and most respected Dragonfish powered bingo sites; it’s been around since 2009.

Costa Bingo is the biggest, busiest and arguably the best of the bingo sites that used to be owned by Mandalay Media and are now under the direct control of Broadway Gaming, who bought the Dragonfish software and the rest of 888’s bingo business at the end of 2021. Back in the Mandalay Media days (and especially during the period when ex Spice Girl Mel B was fronting the site), the promotions at Costa were some of the best in the business, including leaderboards, treasure hunts and prize bingo games. Everything was toned down after 888 brought the sites in house but they still retained some exclusive bingo rooms and player promotions. Now that Broadway has taken over, the Ignite network has been fully merged with what was once called the Joy Of Bingo network meaning that there’s now very little difference between Costa and sites such as 888ladies.

The Costa Bingo welcome offer has long been a bingo bonus whereas until recently other sites in the group had a free tickets welcome offer. The free tickets were for specific invitation only bingo rooms that paid out small cash prizes (all gone now, along with the offers), so a bingo bonus does appear to give more flexibility. Not as much as you’d think, though; once you get into the lobby you’ll discover that (just as at many other Dragonfish sites) the bonus can’t be used in many of the bingo rooms as you can’t get in without having cash in your account (and you will only start to use the bonus when there is no cash in your account). There’s both 75 and 90 ball rooms where you can use it, though.

The loyalty scheme is one of the best things about Costa! It’s shared across all sites directly operated by Broadway including Wink Bingo and many others. Shop coins are earned through real money play, in various promotions and can also be won in a special penny bingo room. They can be redeemed in the Costa Shop against slot spins, free bingo tickets, bonuses and even real cash, and because the scheme is linked it’s possible to collect coins at one site and redeem at another. There are also a couple of loyalty bingo rooms based on how long you’ve had an account (but you will need to have made a recent deposit to enter). As far as Dragonfish player rewards programs go it’s streets ahead!

Costa is also a great place for slots; like its sister sites it has one of the biggest ranges of slot games you’ll find at a Dragonfish site (again, some of them are real money only).

If you are a fan of the Dragonfish bingo platform, Costa Bingo is definitely a site to check out (if you don’t already have an account there).
