About Betfred Bingo
Betfred.com, nicknamed the “Bonus King”, is one of the UK’s biggest bookmakers, with over 1350 betting shops across the country. Betfred was started way back in 1967 and has since gone on to offer sports betting, online casinos, poker, instant games and finally a new bingo site in 2011 offering 5 different bingo rooms to its customers.
Betfred is operated by Petre Ltd in Gibraltar, which is licensed by the Government of Gibraltar. Betfred Bingo offers a number of incentives to new bingo players including a £30 welcome bonus, a range of exciting promotions (including the £500,000 Bingo Linx promo) plus non-downloadable games and software.
One thing I need to point out is that Betfred’s bingo site is definitely more tailored towards the male population, which puts it in stark contrast with ladies bingo sites such as 888 Ladies Bingo, Foxy Bingo and Posh Bingo.
£30 Welcome Bonus and Other Promotions
With a nickname like the “Bonus King”, Betfred doesn’t disappoint when it comes to first deposit bonuses to players. Betfred Bingo currently offers a 300% deposit bonus up to £30 when you deposit £10 or more. Once you make a deposit, the bonus should be credited directly into your account within 24 hours.
Betfred Bingo’s VIP and loyalty program is pretty extensive and allows players to pass through 6 different VIP levels, which range from Bronze up to Diamond. As you spend more money on tickets at Betfred Bingo, you move up the levels, which in turn allows you to receive extra bonuses and earn loyalty points at a faster rate.
The Loyalty points at Betfred Bingo can be earned every time you wager money on any of the games. These points can then be converted into cash on a daily basis, which is pretty similar to straightforward cash-back program. At the top VIP Diamond level, you essentially earn £1 cash back for every £250 wagered in any of the online bingo games, slots, and casino or scratch cards. This isn’t bad at all for bingo players.
Betfred Bingo also runs tons of other exciting, themed and social promotions including Facebook competitions such as “Pet’s Got Talent”, “Bingo Quiz Nights”, “Birthday Bonuses”, and huge jackpot promotions such as the £500,000 Bingo Linx competition.
Range of Bingo Games and Jackpots
In my honest opinion, Betfred’s range of bingo games is disappointing. Betfred Bingo offers 5 different bingo rooms to play at including the Goal Galore Room, the Bonus King Room (which offers prizes ranging from £100 up to £500), Tinsel Town Room, Disco Room and the Lucky Numbers Bingo Room. Each of these rooms offers free bingo games for players every week which make it very profitable to play here.
Although Betfred runs a cross-product online casino, sports betting and games section on their website, there isn’t really anything else for bingo players to get stuck into. Betfred’s bingo section in my opinion looks more like an “extra” feature for sports bettors and casino gamblers on the site, as opposed to a fully loaded bingo site for staunch bingo players and ladies.
