Smooth Spins

About Smooth Spins

Smooth Spins has the backing of not just one but two household names.

The branding comes from Smooth Radio, which runs seven national radio stations specialising in various genres of relaxing music, plus a number of local radio stations.  Like that other radio station branded site Heart Bingo, Smooth Spins is managed by well respected UK operator BetVictor – a great choice, because it means attention to customer service plus a range of games that’s second to none.

Getting Started at Smooth Spins

During the registration process at Smooth Spins (which is very simple, with just three screens of info to put in) you’ll be given lots of useful prompts.  For example, there’s a reminder to enter your first name as it appears on your official ID (so, for example, Elizabeth rather than Liz), and when you come to put your address in you can start typing and then select from a drop down list.

Immediately after creating your account you’ll see a pop up where you opt into the welcome bonus (or reject it, if you don’t want it for some reason).  You’ll then be prompted to acknowledge the player funds protection arrangements (of which more later) before being taken to the deposit screen. You can deposit as little as £5 but to claim the welcome offer it needs to be £10 or more.

Bingo at Smooth Spins

The bingo rooms at Smooth Spins are by Playtech, generally considered to be the best bingo software for UK players.  Smooth Spins has the new for 2025 version of the bingo lobby, which is easier to use on a mobile device than the older version you may have come across before but rather different looking.  There are three main tabs – Lobby (for the bingo rooms), Games (for minigames) and Prebuy (where you can buy tickets in advance).

In the Lobby, you’ll find around a dozen regular bingo rooms, plus daily, weekly and monthly jackpot games each in their own room making it easy to buy tickets for them ahead of time.  As well as 75 ball, 90 ball and 80 ball rooms there’s the Playtech specials Deal Or No Deal Bingo (in both 75 and 90 ball versions), Age of the Gods Bingo, Clover Rollover Bingo, Bouncy Balls Bingo, Cash Cubes, Fluffy Favourites Bingo and Spirit Twister, so there’s certainly plenty of different types of bingo to choose from.  The size of the Playtech bingo network means that there’s always lots of players and that in turn means the prizes can be susbtantial.  At the time of writing there’s no chat in the bingo rooms (but if they added it later, it wouldn’t be the first time that’s happened at a Playtech bingo site).

The Games area gives easy access to several popular slot games from Playtech (including Age of the Gods and Fire Blaze titles) and Eyecon, and a selection of jackpot slots and instant win games from Eyecon.  You can also play these as minigames in a small window inside the bingo rooms at the same time as a bingo game.

The Prebuy area lets you quickly buy tickets for bingo games playing later the same day, with dropdowns to select the time period and bingo rooms you’re interested in.  You can also use the “FT” button to show you only the rooms where free bingo tickets can be used and there’s a filter button for accessing further options including choosing a date up to 28 days in the future to buy tickets for and filtering on type of bingo, ticket price and game features (1TG etc).

Slot Games at Smooth Spins

The Slots lobby at Smooth Spins has a massive number of games and apart from a few carousels for exclusives, new slots, top slots, daily jackpots and Pragmatic Play’s Drops and Wins promotion, there’s no categorisation.  You really need to know what you’re looking for and use the search bar to find games to appreciate just how comprehensive the range is.

Simply by doing a few searches for well known jackpots I found many Age of the Gods games, several Mega Moolah and Wowpot titles, Jackpot King, Dream Drop and IGT Megajackpots, so quite the lineup there. A search on Big Bass turned up around 20 of those games and a search on Immortal Romance turned up the Mega Moolah and Video Bingo games as well as the original slot and its two sequels.

Thankfully you only have to search for the games you like once. After you’ve found them, just activate the little heart icon on the game tile to have them show up in the Favourites lobby area.  So while a bit more game categorisation would be nice, it’s not a deal-breaker.

Other Games at Smooth Spins

Smooth Spins doesn’t just have slot games.  Carousels for video bingo and instant games appear in the slots lobby, and Slingo has its own lobby area with more than 60 titles.

Live Casino also has its own lobby area and is especially good if you like game shows.  Evolution, Pragamtic Play Live and Playtech Live are all represented here and the titles include Buffalo Blitz Live, Extra Chilli Epic Spins, Marble Race Live, Cash or Crash, Sweet Bonanza Candyland, Adventures Beyond Wonderland, Mega Wheel, Funky Time and many more.  There’s also live blackjack and roulette.

Also Consider

Smooth Spins and indeed all Betvictor sites have one big weak point (which may or may not be important to you).  Essentially, the only deposit method available is debit card, either directly or via Google Pay or Apple Pay; there’s no option to use a voucher system or e-wallet.

On the other hand, player promotions are a very strong point.  There’s always an impressive range of offers you can opt into, mostly awarding spin the wheel style bonus games after you complete a play requirement.  Each of these bonus games has different prizes which can include bonuses, bingo tickets, slot spins and cash and typically there’s no wagering requirements on anything you win from the bonuses, tickets or spins.

Customer support options include live chat and email and there’s also a Help Centre with a comprehensive FAQ.  And for complete peace of mind should you have any substantial sums in your account, BetVictor have the highest possible level of player funds protection.

Final Thoughts

If you like to play slots, live casino game shows and a bit of bingo, the range of games on offer at Smooth Spins should be right up your street.  The attractive no wagering welcome offer and array of player promotions are the icing on the cake.
