Overview
Yay Bingo (UK) brings you a feast for the eyes, thanks to its bright colours and vibrant interface.Forgetting the celebration theme here, I didn’t find myself jumping for joy throughout my customer journey. There are a few big misses with this bingo site.
The site has been built for the novice user. No cluttered navigation, no overwhelming promotions and no unnecessary bells and whistles. A clear and simple left side menu, account page and deposit button covers you.
One of the sticking points was that the mobile version of the site outperformed its desktop counterpart ten to none. There are plenty of desktop related issues that need addressing.
Owned and operated by 888 Holdings, you can sign up knowing you are in safe hands, both in terms of security and entertainment. And thus, as a Dragonfish site, you can expect a welcome offer with no wagering requirements and plenty of promotions, including bingo tickets and spins.
Although they are mostly about online bingo, you can still find a good collection of online slot games. In fact, there are more than 500 online slot games for you try out, including games from leading software game developers Net Entertainment, Thunderkick and Eyecon.
Yay Bingo takes the player safety seriously and have a strict responsible gambling policy in place. All these measures are in place to help you stay in control of your personal data and spending.
Yay Bingo is licensed and regulated by both the UK Gambling Commission and the Gibraltar Gambling Commission. This means that they adhere to strict regulations to ensure fairness and impartiality.
With no wagering requirements anywhere on site, there has never been a better time to join Yay Bingo. Sign up for an account and make a minimum deposit of £10 to claim the following:
- Claim 2,500 Bingo Tickets + 25 Bonus Spins when using promo code BINGO25
- Sign up for a Yay Bingo 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
- Bonus spins are credited after £5 has been wagered
A gift icon on the main menu bar displays a notification for any offers you are yet to use. I found my collection of bingo tickets and my spins here. I could use my bingo tickets in multiple bingo rooms but 250 of the 2,500 tickets have to be used in the Street Party bingo room.
The annoying thing about specific bingo rooms is that you have to wait for the games to start, rather than joining the room that starts the game next. I logged back on a few hours later and played six of my 250 Street Party tickets.
If you’re a bingo fan then this welcome offer is very enticing with its no wagering requirements promise. The Street Party bingo game has a £250 jackpot but you’ll find yourself up against over 400 bingo-hungry players. But still, it’s an offer that could turn out to be lucrative.

Yay Bingo is home to more than 20 bingo rooms, namely featuring 90-ball and 75-ball games. If you want to spice your session up, you can also try Hit 52 room, which runs a 52-ball variant daily.
As a less experienced bingo player myself, I was pleased to see how well organised and presented each bingo room was. I could see all the details before entering a game. These included the jackpot prize, the number of players entered, how many balls per game, ticket price and when the game begins.
Since this is powered by Dragonfish, you can expect to build up a large network of friends, whilst trying to hit one of the many progressive jackpots on offer.
After ramping it up in the bingo rooms I switched over to the casino. There are over 500 games organised across ‘Daily Jackpots, ‘Hot Games’, ‘New’, ‘Scratch Cards’, ‘Slots’ and ‘All’. It’s not the biggest range of slots but the quality of games is very much noticeable. It was frustrating to trawl through the games since they are presented on several pages, rather than one page you scroll down.
I was impressed with the selection available and happy to see some of my favourite game providers like NetEnt and IGT hosted on Yay Bingo.
I did notice that each slot pops out into a smaller window, making it less immersive if it was a full screen playing experience. I found out that this is because the site has been optimised for mobile-first and desktop second.
Currently, Yay Bingo doesn’t offer any casino games, such as Blackjack and Roulette.
