Overview
Bingo Besties (UK) is the online bingo site you have been waiting for. If you are looking to play some online bingo with some of your best friends, then this might be the bingo site for you.Bingo Besties branding features happy people with enlarged eyes. However, the site’s fun and friendly appearance could not save me from its eye-poppingly poor technical performance.
The site itself keeps simplicity in mind, I found moving around the site nice and easy.
Although they are mostly about online bingo, you can still find a solid collection of slot games. The range of slots was respectable for a site that’s bingo first but what bothered me was how these games are presented. The games are spread across several pages with 8 games displayed on each page (depending on your screen size) which means it’s very time consuming to search through the slots.
The mobile experience far outperformed the desktop site. I think Bingo Besties (and their sister sites) need to consider bringing in a user-experience expert to iron out the technical catastrophes.
Signing up as a new player took me through a simple 4-step process. I then landed on the welcome offer page where I could grab a bunch of bingo tickets. I’ve seen this welcome offer a few times across their sister sites Yay Bingo and Queen Bee Bingo.
As I tried to claim the offer I encountered my first technical issues. The deposit page would display a ‘Session expired’ error message. Eventually, I switched over to the Chrome browser which worked without any hitches but the damage was already done.
Bingo Besties also cares about their players and have a strict responsible gambling policy in place, guaranteed to safeguard your interests.
The casino is licensed and regulated in both the United Kingdom and Gibraltar, making it one of the safest online bingo and casino sites around.
Owned and operated by 888 Holdings, you’ll have access to numerous gaming options and a top-notch customer support team.
Join in on the fun! Sign up for a Bingo Besties account and make a minimum deposit of £10 to claim the following special bonus:
- Claim 2,500 Bingo Tickets + 25 Bonus Spins when using promo code BINGO25
- Sign up for a Bingo Besties Casino account
- Verify your account by email
- Make a minimum deposit of £10 using the promo code BINGO25
- Your welcome bonus will be credited to your account
- Once £5 of your deposit is played, your bonus spins are credited
The 2,500 bingo tickets are split across the ‘Street Party’ and ‘Kaching’ bingo rooms with 100 to be used in the former. The tickets are valued at £0.50 each which is good value for an offer that can be claimed on a £10 deposit. The only set back is that these games take place once a day so you have to wait until the game commences before you can use your bingo tickets. Good thing the bingo tickets are valid for 30 days I guess.
The welcome tickets are stored in a ‘Games Vouches’ section located on the top right of the home page. This is where the spins are also stored. However, you need to wager at least £5 on bingo before you can use the 25 Bonus Spins.
Beyond the welcome bonus, Bingo Besties has a generous daily offer. This changes every day so make sure you jump over to the site and see what today’s offer is.

There are over 500 games which are quite respectable for a bingo site. It’s not an impressive number but Bingo Besties hosts games from some of the top gaming providers such as NetEnt, IGT and Williams, so there are plenty of quality game titles available.
Casino games are broken down into ‘Hot Games’, ‘Daily Jackpots’, ‘Slots’ and ‘Scratch Cards’. The slot games are only displayed with eight slots on a page and there are thirteen pages of games to click through. It was tedious to look for a game that tickled my interest. There is a search field but no ability to search by theme or game provider.
Annoyingly, the slots opened up in a new (and smaller) window. I later discovered that this is because the games are mobile compatible first.
If you are after bingo games, you can enjoy 75-ball bingo and 90-ball bingo. The games are split over a variety of rooms, with four open at one time. The bingo games are well organised by ‘Guaranteed Jackpots’, ‘Mystery Jackpots’, ‘Ace Club’ and ‘Free’ games with big cash prizes. Each bingo room displays the entry fee, number of players and how many balls the game has.
The bingo set up itself was easy to follow and there was even a chat feature so I could enjoy some bingo banter while I waited for the balls to drop. One-third of my screen was taken up with slot games which made it a little cluttered. I did click on one but my screen size wasn’t appropriate for simultaneous bingo and slot play. I hit a couple of small wins which was enough for me to leave the bingo room with a profit.
I was ready to use my welcome bingo tickets so I came back to the Street Party bingo room just before the game kicked off. I had 12 tickets (the max per game) ready to use. I was up against another 484 bingo players, all gunning for the £250 jackpot prize.
