Bingo Idol Review

Launched in early 2019, Bingo Idol has probably been one of the most anticipated bingo sites ever since it was announced a few months earlier. The reason behind all the hype is a well-known brand manager, Tau Marketing Services, a UK startup company in charge of a wide bingo network with more than 25 bingo brands, including Sundae Bingo, Yay Bingo, Bingo Besties, and Cracker Bingo.

The site itself is operated by Cassava Enterprises Ltd and runs on 888 Holdings owned Dragonfish software, tested by eCOGRA (an independent UK-based internationally acknowledged software testing agency). Players from all over the world are welcome to join Bingo Idol community (with the exception of certain territories listed under Terms & Conditions), and new account holders will be greeted with the welcome bonus bundle offer unlocked by the first deposit, as well as the loyalty points awarded for activity.

Promotions at Bingo Idol

The welcome offer at Bingo Idol is redeemed with the promo code IDOL, which becomes valid immediately after submitting the first £10 deposit. The package consists of 105 free bingo tickets and 10 Free Spins. The bonus rounds will be at your disposal immediately, while the tickets are divided into two sets which can be used when the relevant bingo rooms are open:

• Street Party room (opens every day at 19.30) – 100 tickets
• Big Bang room (opens on the 10th of every month) – 5 tickets

The free spins can be used on a game of our choice and the winnings generated from the bonus rounds are limited to £0.50. Unused spins will be removed from the player’s account in 7 days and the winnings can be withdrawn immediately as no wagering requirements are attached to the offer.
The loyalty at Bingo Idol is rewarded with comp points added to the player’s account after every £1 bet. Points are updated every 24 hours.

Additional promotions can be claimed inside the bingo lobby, where the members will be able to play Daily Jackpot Games or
in the Mystery Jackpot room. Daily offers with free spins are also regularly launched and available to all depositing members who created the account 24 hours before the promotion was activated.

Games and Software

Bingo Idol has two separate gaming lobbies – the Slots platform with more than 300 releases (supplied by NetEnt, Scientific Games, Eyecon and Pragmatic Play) and the Bingo section with both funded and free bingo variants. Once you select the Play Bingo option, you will be directed to the Bingo lobby, which has three sectors: My Profile, Bingo, and Promotions. The Bingo section consists of the following divisions:

• On the Go – 8 rooms (with 90-Ball, 75-Ball, and 52-Ball Bingo rooms)
• Guaranteed Jackpots – a total of 6 rooms: £10K Sunday Blast, £600 Monday Chill, £1,500 Tuesday Rocks, £500 Wednesday Chic, £1K Thursday Groove + KACHING
• Gobsmacked – a funded room with 100 Free Spins prize pool
• Bingo Roulette room
• Free – three rooms: Free4U (75-Ball), Saucy Sunday (funded, 75-Ball), and £1K Mondays (funded, 90-Ball)
• Ace Club – exclusive, invite-only bingo rooms (two 75-Ball and one 90-Ball bingo room)

The ticket prices are determined by the room, ranging between 3p and £10, and the prize pool can reach £10,000 inside the Sunday Blast and Ace Club Big Bang rooms. If you are a bingo newbie, an extensive overview of the rules and bingo rooms chat guidelines can be found under the Help section (at the bottom of the site page)
