Overview
Blighty Bingo (UK) is as quintessentially British as they come. Flying the Union Jack, Blighty Bingo forms part of the 888 betting empire.What looks like an initially well-designed bingo site soon reveals some annoying quirks which I began to find frustrating.
On the surface of it, this looks like a fun and well-designed UK bingo site, but things started to unravel when I dug a little deeper. The layout is friendly enough, but I had a hard time finding the information and tools I wanted. At times it felt like they were trying to hide stuff, like the withdrawal button for example.
Besides giving you the chance to play a range of bingo games, they also stock slot machines from leading software providers.
Celebrate all things British, with a red, white and blue extravaganza. There is free bingo, plenty of promotions and a fantastic welcome bonus in store for some real British fun.
Although they might have been established on a later date, they were the first UK zero wagering requirements bingo site.
Sign up wise there was a basic 4-step process which caused me no initial issues and took just a couple of minutes. I just had to enter the usual personal details plus my occupation, which felt like a strange thing to request. When I clicked submit I got a message saying they were ‘unable to verify my personal information’, so I retyped my name, and it worked on the second try, which wasn't the most reassuring start.
Next, when I signed in and tried to claim the welcome offer, I got a message asking me to ‘please rotate my device’ which was weird. I was using Chrome on my Macbook and I hit the same issue when attempting a deposit. I found that using a different browser fixed this.
Start your journey with flying colours at Blighty Bingo. Take advantage of the below offer.
- Deposit £5, get 1,250 Bingo tickets and 10 bonus spins when using promo code BINGO10
Bonus spins are credited to your account once £5 of deposit funds have been wagered.
Now here's an interesting welcome offer that I was keen on trying out. Those bingo tickets were something that caught my attention, for I'm not usually the player who rushes into bingo room.
I first checked the bonus spins, which were displayed in points during the game, so I had no idea what I’d won until I used them all. Not preferrable, but in the end, it's only 10 spins.
My 100 free tickets for Street Party, worth 50p each, could only be used 12 at a time. This game plays daily with a £250 jackpot. Not having played on the site before, the welcome perks gave a great introduction and definitely helped me find my way around.
There are no wagering requirements attached to these bonuses. However, I made a withdrawal before I’d used up all the free tickets, so my remaining ones were cancelled. To be fair, there was a warning about this on the withdrawals screen.
As well as the initial spins and tickets, I got some extra goodies every couple of days, such as 5 bonus spins on Sharknado. Again, these were displayed as points, and I picked up a few pence each time. It was nice to have some genuine wager-free spins and bingo tickets to use for a change.

Although Blighty Bingo's website is bingo-orientated, there are over 500 slot games available. These are supplied by big names, including NextGen, IGT, NetEnt, WMS, Eyecon and Pariplay amongst many others.
Some of the most popular online slots on offer, include Gonzo’s Quest, Amazon Queen, Siberian Storm and Foxin’ Wins. All of these slot games feature modern extras, such as stacked wins, cascading wilds and bonus rounds.
There are also a number of online bingo games for players to enjoy. The live bingo rooms available include 52-ball, 75-ball and 90-ball variances. Some of these bingo rooms come with progressive jackpot kitties attached.
I’ve no doubt that the range of bingo games here is enough for even the most demanding fan. The addition of the live chat host in the evenings is also a nice touch.
There’s the option to play slots in a tiny sidebar whilst playing a game of bingo. I found this was just far too small on a laptop screen and difficult to click the right game buttons. It was more of a distraction than a bonus for me.
The site was slow to load between bingo games on desktop at times. Despite the crisp design, it feels a bit clunky overall. Slots open in a new window and could be easy to lose if I forget to close them down.
The layout is simple and clean, but I found that the ‘new’, ‘slots’ and ‘all’ tabs were exactly the same and therefore, pointless. Overall, I found the slot games selection lacking with only a few recognisable titles. It could really do with some higher quality providers and better slot titles to boost the overall offering here.
