The Sun newspaper’s bingo site has been around for more than 15 years and is renowned for the quality of its player promotions. It is one of the biggest UK bingo websites.

About Sun Bingo

Until August 2016, Sun Bingo ran on the Gamesys bingo network. Then, along with sister site Fabulous Bingo (named after the Sun’s lifestyle supplement) it moved to the Virtue Fusion / Playtech bingo platform. The move was carefully handled so as to be a good experience for players, retaining much the same look and feel and preserving most of their regular promotions, and gradually introducing Playtech bingo specials. It’s had a number of design upgrades since to keep it fresh and maximize usability on modern devices.

Today, the site is still known for its outstanding player promotions including prize draws and bonus games and its exclusive bingo variants.

Bingo Games at Sun Bingo

There’s lots of different types of bingo on offer at Sun Bingo, including:

  • 90 ball: Network 90, speed 90, daily and weekly jackpots, session bingo, Deal or No Deal 90, Britain’s Got Talent, Age of the Gods Bingo, Fluffy Favourites Bingo and the exclusive Candy Club and Penny Press bingo rooms
  • 75 ball: Deal or No Deal 75, 5 Line, patterns and the Playtech exclusive equal chances bingo game Spirit Twister
  • 80 ball: network room
  • 60 ball: Bouncy Balls Bingo
  • 50 ball: Clover Rollover Bingo and the exclusive Mystic Meg Bingo
  • 36 ball: Cash Cubes and the exclusive Winning Headlines Bingo

Candy Club and Penny Press have their own chat rooms and there’s another Sun exclusive chat room to cover the rest of the bingo rooms.

As at all Playtech bingo sites, there’s pre-buy up to a week in advance and the rooms are packed with features such as 1TG and Roll On. There’s a reason this bingo software is still considered to be the best there is!

Slot Games At Sun Bingo

Inside the bingo rooms and in the Games tab in the bingo lobby, you can play a limited selection of slot games and scratchcards. Most are familiar games by Eyecon but also included are the Sun Bingo exclusives Fun in the Sun, Mystic Meg, Winning Headlines, Winning Headlines Jackpot and Winning Headlines Blitz along with vintage games like the original Clover Rollover and Bouncy Balls.

A much larger range of slot games can be found by visiting other areas on the main Sun Bingo website.

  • Slots has thousands of popular games (and in some cases their countless sequels) including Eye of Horus, Action Bank, Rainbow Riches, Fishin’ Frenzy, Big Bass Bonanza, Immortal Romance, 9 Pots of Gold, Buffalo Blitz, Bonanza and many others. As well as the jackpots by Eyecon that are also playable in the bingo lobby, they have Jackpot King and Age of the Gods. There’s also an up to date selection of new releases. The lobby has been designed to work with mobile devices which means that the number of game tiles visible is not large so to find most of these games, you’ll need to use the search box.
  • Casino & Live has blackjack and roulette in both non live dealer and live dealer versions plus a full lineup of Playtech game shows and live slots.
  • Slingo & Scratch does just what it says on the tin: there’s around 60 Slingo games and around 25 instant win games to choose from.

Other Considerations

Sun Bingo runs so many promotions that it can be difficult to get your head round all of them! There’s prize drops, leaderboards, deposit offers, 4 hours of free bingo every day and various stake and get offers. And that’s just the regular promotions – they also run big themed promotions from time to time such as the All Star Hotel which was run in Spring 2023 and Autumn 2024.

If you’ve played at other Virtue Fusion sites you may be surprised to find that at Sun Bingo, some free spins promotions carry a wagering requirement (usually 10x) and the play order is cash first (so you won’t start to play with your bingo bonus, which has a 4x wagering requirement, until there’s no cash in your account).

Although a wide range of deposit methods are offered at Sun Bingo, only one of them – debit card – can be used to claim the welcome offer.

Final Thoughts

With its super generous welcome offer, great choice of games and array of promotions, you can’t really beat Sun Bingo.  Most bingo enthusiasts will already have an account there, but if you don’t it is very much worth checking out.
