Ladbrokes Bingo Review
Ladbrokes is one of the UK’s largest and most exciting betting companies. They have 2000+ local betting shops across the UK, as well as online gaming platforms for sports betting, casino, poker, lotto and more. They have been involved in the betting industry for over 100 years, but it wasn’t until 2004 that they entered the bingo industry.
Ladbrokes Bingo is registered under its holding company Entain Plc (called GVC previously), and is licensed and regulated by the British Gambling Commission and the Gibraltar Gambling Commissioner. The site is now powered by ElectraWorks bingo software having moved from Virtue Fusion in 2020, who they had partnered with for over 15 years.
ElectraWorks was formerly known as Cozy Games and was bought by GVC in 2017 before moving to the in-house subsidiary. This means Ladbrokes now run proprietary games and they are all part of the same group.
There are always promotions on the go at Ladbrokes Bingo, and since they did away with the loyalty scheme these have increased in number. You can get anything from cash bonuses for being extra chatty in the chat rooms, free bingo, lifestyle vouchers, and cashback.
Bingo Games & Software
The bingo on offer at Ladbrokes comes in many variants of 36, 50, 75 and 90-ball games, including great bingo specials and also multiplayer games. There are 13 rooms in total including big brands such as Friends and Coronation St bingo, as well as plenty of progressive jackpots worth tens of thousands!
Games take place 24/7 and most rooms start new games every 5 minutes or so with tickets costing as little as 2p a card and even the free bingo rooms run 5 times a day, so you can play for real cash prizes at no expense to yourself. Nice one.
The site itself is very professional and neat, and you’ll find everything clearly labelled in a really modern and sleek design. It doesn’t work in the same way as many other bingo sites with a bingo lobby and all of that stuff, instead, bingo is just another area of the site built into the same interface as everything else.
This is actually easier because there are no new windows popping up, and you can jump between products in a heartbeat. It’s not limiting when playing bingo either, you can add other rooms and play them both at the same time, as well as playing side games in the same window. You won’t know where to look!
How To & Community
Alongside the game itself, Ladbrokes have gone out of their way to make life as easy as possible for their players by creating a ‘How To’ section explaining how each bingo variation works and how progressive jackpots are built.
It makes the site much more accessible to newbies, or anyone who maybe has only ever played 90-ball bingo and is wondering why the tickets suddenly look different in some rooms.
The Community section is sort of the same thing, but with a focus on the social element. In this area you can learn about bingo lingo like WTG, GL, and 1TG, bingo chat etiquette, how the chat games work, and any chat offers that are currently available.
The social side of bingo is important and Ladbrokes want to encourage as many people to embrace it as possible, so they reward those who try the hardest. You would chat to your fellow player IRL (in real life – bingo lingo) right? So do the same online.
Side Games, Slots etc
You probably already know about Ladbrokes casino, so you are aware that they have hundreds more games available than they can offer as bingo side games. Anyone who enjoys casino as much as bingo can hop across and get stuck into that lot.
For those of us sticking with bingo and bingo only, the side games can offer a welcome change of pace and a way to utilise the time between bingo games, so you will be pleased to hear that the 35-40 mini games offered here are fab.
Ladbrokes have managed to include branded games like The Chase and Monopoly Slingo with big name jackpots like Top Cat which boast 7 figure top prizes, as well as the odd exclusive title too. The bingo home page is the place to go for a larger selection without having to head over to the casino. We suppose it might be nice to have one or two more options available as side games but managing them all would be very difficult.
