Last update: 8th October 2018
bgo was launched in 2012 and although the name is a play on the word bingo, it has always had a big emphasis on casino and slots. bgo’s deal with Playtech regarding their bingo product has enabled them to feature Playtech slots including a number of progressive jackpots alongside titles from a host of other providers including NetEnt, IGT, WMS and NextGen. bgo now has slot tournaments including the Friday Big One which is free to enter for the week’s depositors and has a whopping £10,000 in cash prizes.
For several years (until his death at the age of just 49) bgo was fronted by Verne Troyer (perhaps best known for his role as Mini Me in the Austin Powers films) as the “Boss” – the casino owner. The Boss appeared in a series of TV adverts that put the emphasis very firmly on entertainment.
In October 2017 bgo made a bold move and became a No Wagering slot and casino site (with similar arrangements for their bingo product). Instead of giving out bonuses, the player reward system is now based around free spins and they really are free spins – there’s no wagering requirement, no maximum win and all winnings are paid in cash.
bgo has over 500 slot games including 90 with progressive jackpots. Some of the favourite titles you’ll find here are Jackpot Giant, Mega Fortune, Gladiator, Cleopatra (regular and Megajackpots versions), Starburst, Raging Rhino, Stampede, Twin Spin, Rainbow Riches, Blood Suckers, Kitty Glitter, Life of Brian, Secret of the Stones and Da Vinci Diamonds.
bgo slot tournaments run several times a day with real cash or free spins prizes and sometimes tangible prizes such as holidays; to enter players must have made a recent deposit (how recent can be anything from 7 days to 60 minutes before the start). There’s also a £10K tournament every Friday with more than 150 cash prizes. Tournaments last several hours and players can enter any time up until the last 15 minutes before the end. The tournaments are free to enter and the aim is to get the biggest win with the Tournament Spins (which are not real money and are for scoring purposes only).
bgo also has a very popular live casino section with a chat window enabling player to talk to other players as well as to the dealer. All sections can be played with the same wallet with no need to transfer funds between areas.
Exclusive promotions at bgo include leaderboards and prize draws and historically these have featured some very attractive prizes – for example, a VIP trip to Las Vegas for the McGregor/Mayweather fight and a two week holiday to Sydney, Australia for the New Year celebrations.
All in all, bgo combines an excellent selection of games with fair and transparent player rewards. The fully responsive site works across all devices.
