UK Bingo was one of those little known old fashioned Dragonfish bingo sites that ticked along quietly for years. It’s now moved to Grace Media, bringing along the exclusive bingo room and promotions that are its USP.

About UK Bingo

UK Bingo is one of the oldest online bingo brands in the UK. It’s very proud to be British and, therefore, offers the UK’s favourite bingo variant (90-ball) along with several other variants that you might like to try. UK Bingo and its sister site Chit Chat Bingo boast the exclusive Royal Room which hosts fun-filled 90-ball games that come with guaranteed jackpots, and this is still the case even though the site has moved on from the Dragonfish bingo software that it ran on for so many years.

The new bingo software is the well respected Pragmatic Play bingo product which is very much in the ascendant at the moment.

Games at UK Bingo

UK Bingo has an exciting collection of online bingo rooms that let you choose between 90-ball, 75-ball, and several other different types of bingo. There are often time-limited rooms as well where you can enjoy special games to mark occasions such as Easter and Christmas. All the bingo rooms are powered by Pragmatic Play.

There are also hundreds of online slots that are provided by famous names like Netent, Play’n’Go, Eyecon, Red Tiger and Pragmatic Play.

Trustworthiness & Reputation

UK Bingo and its sister sites used to run on the well known Dragonfish platform but now are on the Grace Media casino platform with bingo software supplied by Pragmatic Play. Grace Media is licensed and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission, so it’s perfectly safe for UK players to play here.

The site is also highly secure as it uses SSL encryption. UK Bingo has a great reputation, which is why it’s managed to retain so many players over the years despite increasing competition.

Site Design

UK Bingo is instantly recognisable as a Grace Media site, although its Union Jack logo and red, white, and blue colour scheme give it a suitably British image and unlike at most Grace Media casinos, the bingo is very prominent on the home page. You can browse the site via the top menu system before logging in or creating a new account. The welcome offer is displayed on a carousel at the top of the homepage, with the terms and conditions clearly displayed underneath.

You can see all of the bingo rooms immediately, including the number of players, the prize money and how long it is until the next game.

A Closer Look at the Bingo Games

The bingo rooms are plentiful here and thanks to the size of the Pragmatic Play network there are some substantial prize pools on offer. There’s 30 ball, 75 ball and 80 ball bingo plus the 50 ball game Animingo and lots of 90 ball rooms including the Reels Room where you can win slot spins, daily and weekly jackpot rooms and the Pragmatic Play exclusive games Diamond Dazzle and Bingo Blast.

The exclusive Royal Room is open two evenings a week with hosted chat and special promotions.

Additional Products

As well as all of these bingo rooms, there’s a great selection of slot games and if you’ve previously played at the Dragonfish version of UK Bingo, you will be very pleasantly surprised by how much quicker Grace Media are than Dragonfish to add new release slot games.

You can search for games by name and also filter them so you can see all of the games from one provider at once. There’s also a lobby area just for Fluffy games! They don’t, however, have any progressive jackpot slots (no Grace Media sites do).

Apart from a small number of instant win games that are mixed in with the slot games, UK Bingo doesn’t have any types of game other than slots and bingo.

Promotions

Grace Media casinos normally have promotions that are supplied by the network. UK Bingo is a bit different; the promo page contains information about the exclusive Royal Room (opening times, ticket prices, guaranteed prize money) and there’s also the exclusive Bonus Calendar which has a different deposit bonus code for each day of the week. You can claim bonus, slot spins or free bingo tickets.

Mobile Usability

If you’re leaving home or enjoying a lie-in, you can whip out your mobile phone and head to UK Bingo to play your favourite bingo games and slots. There’s no mobile app as the site is optimised for all device types. It’s easy to navigate the mobile site using the menu system, and all the games and pages load nice and quickly.

Payment Methods

Grace Media have recently added several more payment methods and if you’re looking for a deposit method that’s slightly more exotic than a debit card, there’s plenty of choice at UK Bingo – everything from Trustly to mobile phone billing.

Final Thoughts

An increasing number of Brits are embracing online bingo, and if you’re one of them, you should be more than happy with the online bingo offering at UK Bingo. The exclusive Royal Room means that there’s more of a sense of community at this site than at many other Pragmatic Play bingo sites. If you enjoy slots as well as bingo there’s even more reason to give it a try due to the extremely competitive slots based welcome bonus.
