Betfred Bingo is the most recent addition to the already well known Betfred brand and it has everything you would expect from an established gaming operator.

They initially launched with a 90 ball game which has proven very popular, thanks to the 24/7 chat team and the guaranteed prizes. More recently they also launched their 75 ball version which is available between 6pm and midnight 7 days a week, again with a fully manned chat team to keep the players entertained.

You get £5 free to try out the games and this is before you even make a deposit. On your first deposit, you will receive a 150% bonus up to £100 and a further 25% bonus on every other deposit you make into Bingo. They also offer a special Wealthy Wednesdays bonus of 40% on all deposits in place of the already generous 25%.

As you may have seen, they have chosen Stuart Hall as the face of Betfred Bingo, an interesting choice and one that is sure to attract some attention given the “It’s A Knockout” presenter and commentator’s well known wacky sense of fun and unmistakeable voice and laugh. Stuart Hall makes regular appearances in the chat room which the players love and he is featured quite heavily on the site, including supplying some recipes from his own book!

Betfred Bingo offers both an instant play and a download version, so you can use whichever suits you best. Both versions offer the same great prizes and Betfred Bingo feel, but the download does have the edge with the graphics and the ease of use once you complete the very easy installation process.

Bingo at Betfred is fun, lively and good value for money with card prices as low as 5p for a strip of 6 tickets on certain games. Standard games are 30p per strip of 6. Prizes vary game to game, but are always enticing and the chat game changes every hour, keeping you interested and giving you the chance to win more bonus funds.

Aside from cash prizes, Betfred Bingo regularly offers physical prizes such as weekends away, iPods, digital cameras and spa days. These are usually given away during special events, such as their monthly Charity Night. This is where Betfred Bingo donate funds to the charity of a selected player’s choice. Prizes are also won though their regular competitions which are advertised on their website.

Jackpots here are progressive and not to be sniffed at. Their BOTH (bottom of the hour) JP started at a whopping £20k and is set to be won in 34 numbers or less, a rather interesting proposition for anyone who has ever seen some of the similar sized, but very unattainable prizes on other sites. Their standard daily Jackpot started at £2k and is increasing all the time with a count of 37 numbers to scoop the prize. Not forgetting their TOTH (top of the hour) Jackpot which starts at £500 for only 40 numbers.

If you like to play a few side games while your waiting for your numbers to come out, then look no further. Here at Betfred Bingo you’ll find an array of fun games, many of which you can try for free. There are also some higher prize winning slots, roulette and video poker games to keep you entertained, all of which can be played alongside your Bingo game, so there is no need to risk missing your numbers being called.

Extra features include horoscopes, recipes, gossip, promotions and Buddy Profiles where players can register their photograph on the Betfred Bingo website and a few details about themselves for their Bingo Buddies to read.

There is also a Refer a Friend scheme where players can earn £10 in bonus funds for referring a new player.

The real draw at Betfred Bingo though is the chat room. This is where you can meet up with your friends and chat to the host who is always happy to have a chat and will answer any questions you might have. The CH’s (Chat Hosts) here are very involved with the players and do not simply oversee the room as you will sometimes find on other sites. Instead they create a friendly, welcoming environment where players can enjoy their Bingo game and feel at home at the same time.

Online Support is always available if you need any assistance with your account. Either via the game itself, or by email or phone. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly and emails are usually answered very quickly.

All in all Betfred Bingo is the place to be if you are looking for a fun time, with great prizes and plenty of bonus funds.
