UK Bingo Sites

Top UK Bingo Sites in 2011

If you’re from the UK then you’ll find a selection of the top UK bingo sites recommended by our editors below.

The great thing about being a UK bingo player is that there’s such a rich variety of UK bingo sites to choose from.  Although the first UK bingo sites didn’t really take off until 2002/2003, most operators nowadays will have bingo room section full of promotions and bonuses for players.  Even Ladbrokes recently opened their own bingo room which provides both 90 ball, 75 ball, 80 ball and guaranteed jackpot games to players.

About the UK Bingo Industry

The UK bingo market has been Booming over the last couple of years! It is by far the best market for bingo players and we’re even managing to spread the phase of online bingo across mainland Europe!

Being from the UK myself, I probably have a biased predisposition towards UK bingo over the US format of the game.  The 90 ball version of the game is way better – there are more opportunities to win prizes and 3 different types of jackpots (single line, two line and full house) as opposed to the 75 ball US version.  In Foxy Bingo’s 90 ball bingo game for example you can win 3 different prizes totalling more than £1,000 when you buy a 1p ticket in any of their daily games.

The UK bingo market is by far the most successful in terms of bingo popularity around the world. The online bingo industry here is estimated to be worth more than £1 billion.  This is in comparison to the US where the market is worth less than a quarter of this amount.

The expansion of bingo from high street bingo halls to online promotions and games has been witness over the last decade.  However, bingo halls still play an important part of a ladies social life.  Bingo is still the most popular leisure activity for women aged between 25 and 35 in the UK. Bingo halls such as Mecca Bingo (owned by the Rank Group) and Gala Bingo (owned by the Irish Coral Gala Gambling Group) are still extremely popular and run in all major cities.

One of the major reasons for the popularity of online bingo in the UK is the massive amounts of money that bingo sites such as Jackpotjoy, Foxy Bingo and Bet365 Bingo spend on marketing and TV advertisements.  Hardly a day goes by when I don’t see a flashy bingo advert on TV.  Even Richard Branson’s Virgin Bingo brand has got in on the act which I find quite funny. Hell, even the ladies OK Magazine has managed to muster up their own online bingo site (although I wouldn’t recommend it to serious bingo players – it lacks a awful lot of features, prizes and games).
