MogoBet is not just a straightforward rebrand and relaunch of Bright Star Casino – they’ve added a sportsbook and bingo to make it a true multi product site.
So which statement is true? A Mogo is a root vegetable common in Africa and South America. A Mogo is a stone hatchet used by the Aborigines. A Mogo is a person yelling” look at Mogo” at their TV during the 2012 London Olympics, when Mo Farah won gold in the 5000m. Answer:- All statements are true, I did make the last one up, but true all the same.
MogoBet, which probably doesn’t take its name from any of the above, is a September 2024 rebrand of a Progress Play casino called Bright Star Casino which was originally launched in 2017. They kept the player base and added a sportsbook and put some Bingo in the mix too. Progress Play is a well established casino platform provider and has a number of sister sites which include Casino Kings and Funky Jackpot to name a couple.
Initially, this platform has a familiar feel to it, but on further inspection you can see Progress Play has gone for broke. Although of simple design, navigating around was really simple. It is of black design with good uses of red to break it up a bit. Also prominent within the Casino and Sportsbook are the various promotional offers which run through the middle. The layout of their site is really good with links to Casino, Sports, Bingo and Live casino at the top with a grey expanding bar down the left hand side directing you to current promotions, favourite saved games and customer support to name a few. What really stood out was how bold and colourful the game tiles are, some of which move and really catch your attention.
MogoBet has a considerable welcome offer which is a 100% matched bonus up to £200 with 20 spins on Book of Dead also thrown in. Although wagering is a little on the high side this still presents some good value. You can take part in this with as little as a £10 deposit. Signing up here has been made simple and user friendly taking a few minutes at most. MogoBet will try to verify your account when you sign up, however you could be asked to provide ID and proof of address before you play or in the future. Being required to provide ID is completely normal with the casino practising due diligence in line with the Gambling Commission.
You can deposit using an assortment of methods including PayPal, Apple Pay and Bank Transfer. You will receive a text message and an email with a 4 figure code to activate your account. This code can be inputted via your account details or you will be prompted to do so a few minutes after registration. This needs to be done within 7 days of opening your account. Although there is no need to opt in to the welcome offer, with their ongoing offers you will need to enter the relevant deposit codes for that current promotion, so keep that in mind.
It’s great to see Bingo on offer at a new relaunched platform. MogoBet offers 75, 80 and 90-ball bingo powered by Playtech. Those of you that are familiar with Playtech bingo will notice how this platform has made their version for MogoBet a little simpler. When I visited there were currently 12 rooms active where the prizes range from £1 to a £15,000 jackpot. All the rooms were pretty busy some with 250+ people present, others a little quieter. There are a couple of non-hosted chat rooms available while you play which includes a learner room if you’re a novice. Stakes on games vary and suit all budgets with 2p games available at times. I couldn’t seem to at the time of writing buy tickets for future games but only for the next available game. This is the only criticism I have of a great looking, easy to navigate around Bingo product. Bingo rooms available include Deal Or No Deal Bingo, Fluffy Favourites Bingo, Fish & Chips Frenzy and Lucky Lane. I was overall impressed with the variety of games on offer with additional Playtech slot side games also available.
More and more platforms are adding sportsbooks to their repertoire. This is a logical move providing an all round gaming experience under one umbrella and is great to see. Although basic and relatively simple it delivers a wide range of sports markets which includes horse and greyhound racing. On first glance you might miss the Racing area. This is located in the middle of the sportsbook away from all the other sports markets on offer. Football, Basketball and Darts markets are readily available alongside a good Live (betting in play) area. I did like the results area which is a great added touch. You can find every outcome you can think of there. For a small outfit this is wonderful to see. It doesn’t however offer any live streaming or an ability to place bet builders which are popular at the moment. It would be an added benefit to their customers if this was at hand. On a positive note the odds here are competitive and you can cash out your bets on certain markets. There are some great on going sports promotions on offer including cashback on football and various other sports. At the time of writing there is a great value free bet Monday’s offer, just don’t forget to enter in the deposit codes to qualify.
It’s all Mogo when it comes to slot games with this casino delivering a whopping 2000+ games from a variety of great providers. There are 2 areas linking you to slots games here, being firstly the casino section and then the games section within the expanding bar down the left side. This is where you can find all your favourite titles and they make this ever so easy to do so. Searching for games is a breeze as a great feature here is to be able to search by provider, either via its own category or by the search bar. This opens up the extensive range of slots and games available to play here. New games are also under their own category titles include Barnyard Bash Chicken Chase by SGS Gaming and Monopoly Super Wheel Bonus by Light & Wonder. I really enjoyed the Vegas section with Playtech’s Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead Cash Collect at home there. In addition there is a vast selection of Progressive Jackpot Slots, a whopping 100+ to be exact. These are also located within its own category from providers which include Eyecon, PlayNGo and Red Tiger to name a few. I’m a big fan of demo mode and liked the fact you could try out a majority of games. I also liked the option of adding games to your own personal favourite tab by activating the heart icon on the game tile.
There are also a number of live casino games handily placed within their own lobby. Blackjack, Roulette and Baccarat are well represented as are a small choice of Game Shows. Video table games are within the casino section with instant win and crash games on hand via the casual section.
Alongside MogoBet’s tempting welcome offer, there are a variety of other promotions to complement this. These include deposit bonuses, free spin offers and cashback on play. Don’t forget to use the Promo Codes if taking up these extra benefits. MogoBet also runs a reward scheme where if you complete various missions you get points to spend in their store.
If you like your play on the go then like most online casinos nowadays MogoBet is accessible through a mobile browser. I do feel that this platform is a work in progress especially when it comes to playing via a mobile device. At the time of writing I did find the desktop version far superior when comparing the two.
Whilst depositing through a debit card, Paypal, Apple Pay or Bank transfers costs nothing, please note deposits via the means of Pay via Phone incurs a 15% transaction fee. Additionally all withdrawals incur a 1% fee up to a maximum of £3.
Finally, MogoBet provides great Customer Support with a Help Center to answer any questions you have. If you can’t find answers within the Help Center live chat support is on hand 24/7 via the cashier or where you see the blue chat icon. Alternatively you can email any queries you may have via their online contact form.
This relatively new, relaunched bingo, casino and sportsbook platform from Progress Play has pulled out all the stops to bring you a great gaming experience all under one umbrella. It does lack a little bit of personality but makes up for it by delivering a modern and slick site that is a pleasure to navigate around. It pretty much has everything you need all under one roof and is a great option.
50x bonus on slots, some games excluded. Some table games contribute at 5% or 10%. Cash play does not count towards wagering.
MogoBet has the standard Progress Play “Play Responsibly” policy statement page. As well as the usual deposit limits, reality check, time out and self exclusion they offer players the opportunity to set wagering, loss and time limits.
