Betfred Bingo belongs to one of the world’s largest independent bookmakers. The Betfred brand was born way back in 1967, starting off as a single betting shop which was set up by two brothers from Salford using money they won when England lifted the World Cup in 1966.

The company now offers arguably one of the most exceptional online gaming platforms for sports, casino, lotto, poker, and most recently of course, online bingo.

Betfred are also one of the biggest sponsors of UK racing and exclusive sponsors of both the Scottish League Cup and the World Snooker Championship, so no doubt you will have seen an advertisement or two. Betfred Bingo is registered to Petfre Ltd, Malta, and operates using Playtech software and the Virtue Fusion network.

The Website

Betfred Bingo Website

A first look at the website will show a task bar brimming with options, but don’t let this put you off. It’s not a dedicated bingo website so it looks much more complicated than it is; all you have to do is find ‘Bingo’ in the menu and you are good to go.

The bingo page has its own design and layout showing offers and promotions – which Betfred are one of the best for while we are on the subject – and the games that are about to start. You can also browse the side games, access the schedule, and enter the lobby from here.

Once in the bingo lobby everything is super simple. You can split bingo up by game type if you want to but it’s easy enough just to browse them all. What’s great about this site is that you can have a game loaded up and be playing in seconds, so if you want to play quick then get your skates on with Betfred.

There isn’t much character to the site but it hasn’t been designed to have a theme, it has been designed to function quickly and reliably on desktop and mobile, so anyone who uses both will appreciate the work they have done.

Bingo Games & Software

Betfred Bingo Lobby

Betfred Bingo runs on the Playtech bingo network and all games fall across 12 different rooms. Playtech are extremely good at what they do, so while you might be able to find bingo that matches the quality and ingenuity on offer here you certainly won’t find better.

You can find plenty of 90-ball, 75-ball, and 80-ball variations as well as some special versions that are a little more unusual like Housey and Cash Cubes; they might not sound like bingo games but they are, and they use 52-ball and 36-ball frameworks.

Their other games are nice and varied too. Some include big progressive jackpot payouts, there are others with a Roll On feature (where there is an extra prize after the first full house so you have another chance to win), and most have special prizes for completing your card in under a certain number of balls.

Betfred Bingo also offer bingo rewards and a loyalty points scheme too. The more points you earn, the more bonuses you’ll gain. We would just say that if you have a favourite room you should check the schedule because they aren’t all open all of the time.

Side Games

Betfred Bingo Side Games

The selection of side games at Betfred Bingo are of excellent quality and offer huge prizes and jackpots throughout.

There are almost 200 of them to explore and enjoy so you are bound to find a favourite or two, and don’t forget that Betfred also have a casino and games section with hundreds more slot and table game options if you want them.

The selection of scratchcard games is bigger than usual with plenty of different themes and a lot of them can be played for as little as 10p a go, so if you find typical side games too much of a money drain then these are a great alternative, and don’t forget slingo!

You can play the side games independently or as they were intended alongside the bingo game. It’s really easy to browse the games using a scroll bar and they don’t impose on the bingo at all.

Community

Bingo Lingo

Bingo is well known for being more of a social gambling option, with its roots in the real life bingo halls of old where friends would meet and spend the evening daubing and chatting.

Betfred have taken this aspect online not only with their in game chat rooms which you will find at almost all bingo sites, but also by creating a ‘Community’ area of the site. Here, players can learn about bingo lingo, read tutorials, get tips and learn fun facts about bingo, as well as find out which rooms are known for being the most chatty and learn more about some of Betfred’s big winners.

It makes the site feel more wholesome and complete, and shows that Betfred are trying to create something more personal than just another flashy but soulless bingo site. It also means you are getting more for your money, because all of this extra content is provided for free.

Betfred Bingo is an excellent offering from the Betfred brand. The site itself is extremely user friendly once you get to the bingo section and although it’s a little trickier than some smaller sites it won’t take long for players to figure out.

The important stuff, the games and promotions, are some of the best around and Betfred are famous for their bonuses and offers which extend to their bingo.

For those players who value excellence in bingo from a well trusted brand but also want high value offers then, as their tagline goes, “You’ll love a bit of Betfred”.
