The Sun Newspaper is one of Britain’s most widely read tabloids, well known for running games and competitions, so it’s little surprise that they decided to dip their hands into online gaming. The site started in 2006 and was inspired by the paper bingo cards that came every week with the newspaper.

In 2016, Sun Bingo moved over to the Playtech bingo network which saw the arrival of new features, a slicker site, more games and bigger jackpots. The site’s appearance in general stayed the same however, so players can still enjoy the Sun Bingo theming that they know and love.

On first glance you’ll be greeted with that bright pillar box red branding, and the main focus of the site is on the community spirit and social side of bingo. You’ll find a vibrant community hub with links to chat rooms, social media and winners stories from all over the UK, and the bingo on offer is really varied and fun.

Sun Bingo is registered to News Group Newspapers Ltd, and licensed and regulated in Alderney.

Bingo Games & Software

Sun Bingo Games

The Bingo on offer at Sun Bingo is extremely varied when it comes to both the different game types and the variations within them, there’s always something for everyone to enjoy. There are more than 20 rooms offering games in 36, 50, 75, 80 and 90-ball formats including popular rooms such as Deal or No Deal, Rainbow Riches, Cash Cubes and Bouncy Balls as well as rooms exclusive to Sun Bingo Players.

There is even a learners room for newbies where free bingo is available as well as a real cash prize, and for those of you that end up being lucky winners you can get tickets for the ‘All Winners’ games that run every day, dishing out yet more prize money if you get doubly lucky.

There is a real sense of individuality to Sun bingo’s game rooms, and nowhere else has as many exclusive rooms.

One other brilliant aspect of playing here is that there are always loads of other players online, so prizes are worth fighting for and the social aspect is as good as it gets without actually turning up to a real life bingo hall.

Other Games

Sun Bingo Slots

Sun Bingo actually contains its own casino and slots areas as well, so you get the best of both worlds if you enjoy playing casino games, although there is no need to bother with them if the bingo is all you are after.

Our advice would definitely be to have a look though, as not only can you play exclusive slots here that you can’t play at other sites, but they add new games all the time so the collection is always evolving and improving.

There are also over 40 progressive jackpot games too, with prizes often reaching a million quid, and all of these titles come from top developers like Playtech, NetEnt, IGT, and more.

Not only that, but the live casino is as good here as you will find at any regular casino site, and there are plenty of table games to play that aren’t run by live dealers to.

Virtual Sports

Sun Bingo VirtualsThis is a bit of a wild card for a bingo site as bingo players don’t tend to be avid sports fans, although we don’t like to pigeon hole anybody.

Sun bingo have taken the unusual step of including a fantastic range of virtual sports to their site and we have to say, if you like that sort of thing it really is the best you can get.

Basketball, football (US and UK), horses, dogs, motor car and even MARBLE racing feature, with tremendous graphics and animations.

It might not be everyone’s cup of tea but it’s certainly something a bit different.

Social & Community

Sun Bingo Winners

Rarely does a bingo site put as much effort into their social side than here.

Yes they have all the things you might expect like bingo lingo, chat etiquette, chat game rules etc, but it goes much further than that.

There are real life social events such as concerts and Christmas parties, tips on how to play covering time management, bank roll, tools the site has for you to use; there is even a winners board celebrating those lucky players who land a decent windfall. Everyone likes to show off a bit, right?

If the community aspect is an important consideration for you then Sun bingo has to be somewhere near the top of your list.

Sun Bingo offers a fun, personal gaming site with fantastic games and great promotions. It is really high quality and offers both popular titles as well as more intimate, exclusive rooms.

If you’re after a site that’s bright and fun with a great social feel and a huge variety of games, then this tabloid turned bingo site will tick all the boxes.

It has a lot more depth to it than most bingo sites and a few surprises aliong the way too, so it is especially recommended for experienced players who like to mix things up a bit and want to enjoy all bingo varieties.
