Current stats for Bet365 Bingo
Bet365 Bingo are definitely one of our top picks when it comes to midsize online bingo sites. They may not be the biggest around, but Bet365 Bingo certainly use their proud gaming heritage to their advantage, with plenty of promotions that can more than hold their own against the very largest of online bingo sites.
The site is one of those mid-way Virtue Fusion sites, which means it’s not quite networked, but not quite standalone. Generally, this works in terms of the larger promotions – the very big money, one off games are normally linked with other Virtue Fusion sites, whereas your everyday games are standalone, so you’ll only be playing with other Bet365 Bingo roomies.
And there’s a pretty good selection of those everyday games to choose from, with Bet365 Bingo boasting plenty of different online bingo variations. As well as the usual 90-ball bingo and 75-ball bingo games, you can also find Joker Jackpot bingo and Deal or No Deal Bingo, as well as 80-ball bingo games. If you’re relatively comfortable/bored with standard bingo, Bet365 Bingo may well be a good choice as there are plenty of options for you to master.
The only exception to their standalone rule is the daily Bingo Linx schedule, which offers some huge jackpots totalling a whopping £225k a month. These 90-ball bingo games cost a mere 50p a card, and there are three chances to grab a guaranteed jackpot of anything from £1,500 to £4,000, three times a day. Bet365 Bingo also run a monthly Super Bingo Linx, playing on the last Sunday of every month and offering £10k.
Free bingo is also catered for – although we have to knock off a point for Bet365 Bingo for not serving up a daily dose of free bingo. Weekends are a good time to play – you get a day of Superbooks bingo every Sunday, which offers roomies the chance to swap their free bingo cards for 5p ones, and play for bigger jackpots in the process. There’s also free bingo hours on Saturday and Sunday, with 4pm-5pm your chance to catch some full houses on the house.
The other main gripe we have with Bet 365 Bingo is their slightly meagre excuse for a reward scheme. You get points for wagering across their online bingo games, instant games and slots – but that’s about it. A slightly more creative approach wouldn’t go amiss – after all, it’s not always about how much you can pay as a roomie, but what you do for the site you play at. Likewise with bonuses – you can get the occasional reload bonus, but don’t expect Bet365 Bingo to be rewarding you every time you top up.
But the upside of this is that there aren’t the nagging terms and conditions to deal with – Bet365 Bingo keeps your account pretty simple, which means there is less faff having to work out what you can and can’t withdraw. You do however get a welcome bonus of £25 when you sign up, deposit £5 and spend that on bingo tickets.
It’s not as instantly gratifying as other welcome schemes, but in effect, Bet 365 Bingo really does let the bingo do the talking, an attitude that took us a tiny while to adjust to, but in reality and long term, we find pretty refreshing. We like that Bet365 Bingo do keep things interesting by regularly changing their promos as well. All in all, a great site for roomies looking for some great bingo – without all the nasty strings and surprises.
