This is one for the patriots.

The UK gets a lot of flak these days, so it’s nice to see a brand proudly representing the place it is from. It takes more than a pleasing theme to make a successful bingo site though. Happily, UK Bingo delivers on all fronts.

This is another of Grace Media’s brands, although it hasn’t always been this way. The site is one of the oldest there is, first launching in 2003! That makes it ancient in online bingo years, but if you have come across it before you need to forget what you think you know.

The site was neglected when it was owned by 888 Holdings, but since Grace Media have taken the reigns things have changed. They injected a new lease of life into UK Bingo and now it is better than ever.

It still runs on the Dragonfish network, but this too has been reinvigorated by new ownership, and Grace Media’s partnership with Pragmatic Play adds another exciting ingredient to UK Bingo.

There is so much bingo on this site. Let me tell you all about it.

Bingo Rooms and Games

UK Bingo.net Rooms Games

With UKBingo.net you are getting a hybrid network. This means the best of Dragonfish but also the best of Pragmatic play.

Sometimes you will be playing against players on both networks, sometimes against players from just one. It doesn’t make a difference to you, but what it does mean is the rooms are always nice and busy. And busy rooms mean bigger prizes.

There are 13 different room, all a little different, and thanks to an ingenious interface you can play up to 3 of them at the same time!

Whether it’s a totally unique variation like Animingo, a 90 ball classic with a twist like Drop Pots, or a once a week room with thousands of pounds worth of prizes, each bingo game has its own flavour. The bingo blast feature and the drop pots are good examples of how rooms differentiate themselves. Of course, there are different ticket prices as well as variations on 90, 80 and 75 ball games too.

There is no regular chat room feature here, but they do open a chat box in certain rooms during the evening son some days. It’s annoying because people either like a chat or they don’t. No one is going to set their alarm to play bingo when the chat room is open. It would be better if they either had a chat function or they didn’t. This wishy washy half and half situation is just confusing.

It’s a very minor gripe though. The bingo rooms are all fantastic, chat or no chat.

Casino and Promotions

UK Bingonet Casino

On top of the fantastic bingo on offer, there is more to keep the fun times going.

I’m talking about casino games, or slots to be precise. This isn’t a site that will try to move you into other forms of gambling like roulette etc. However, for anyone with an interest in arguably the softest option after bingo, slots, there is loads of choice.

Around 500 titles await, more than enough to give endless options, but not so many as to overcrowd the site. It’s a great balance.

Then there are the promotions and bonuses. These straddle the bingo and the slots, so players of all persuasions will have plenty to dig into. Honestly, bonus hunters will be in their element here, they have something new for every day of the week and more besides.

Deposits and Withdrawals

Banking Method Max/Min Deposit Max/Min Withdrawal Notes
Debit Card £5 £10 Up to 48 Hours
PayPal £5 £10 Up to 48 Hours
Pay By Phone £10 n/a Debit Card
Bank Transfer £5 £10 Up to 48 Hours

This is probably the only area in which UKBingo.net might put players off. That’s because there is a 15% fee on withdrawals under £30, despite the minimum withdrawal only being £10.

Essentially then, the minimum free withdrawal is £30. For me this really isn’t a problem because I would be unlikely to withdraw less than that anyway. For those on smaller budgets though, it might feel restrictive.

The site are just managing their workload and their expenses – withdrawals are time consuming and cost money with the payment providers – but that’s not something the players want to worry about.

Anyway, everything else is fair enough. Low minimum deposits and standard terms, plus plenty of payment options. I would guesstimate that 95% of people will be happy with that.

UKBingo.net History

UK Bingo.net HistoryI won’t bore you with the nitty gritty here, but given UK Bingo.net is one of the oldest online bingo sites still going, it seems worth talking about its history.

The site was launched all the way back in 2003, and as you can imagine, it was a very basic offering.

The huge gambling groups of today did not exist back then, so it was more or less an independent site. It has had various owners over the years though:

  • 2003 – UKBingo.net
  • 2005 – Business Betting Ltd
  • 2007 – Globalcom/Aqua Gaming
  • 2008 – 888

During the brand’s time under 888’s stewardship, it was officially owned by all sorts of different companies: Cassava, Virtual Global Digital Services Limited, 888 Holdings, etc. They were all part of the same overall company though.

At some point in 2022, Grand Battery Holdings got hold of UK Bingo.net in the UK, although a subsidiary of 888 was still running the show in other territories. That’s a deeply complex situation I can’t explain, but eventually Broadway Gaming (part of Grand Battery Holdings) took full control and improved the site.

At some point in 2024 Grace Media acquired the brand, giving it another refresh, and that brings us up to date.

Contacting Customer Support

Spectra Bingo Contact SupportDon’t you just love a 24/7 customer support service? I’ve never used them at 3am to be fair, but I have had the odd late night session where I have wanted to ask a question about one of their promotions.

I always use live chat, but you can contact them in the following ways:

  • Live chat onsite
  • Phone or text +447360266398
  • Email support@uk-bingo.net

You won’t find a bingo site with better customer support options or opening hours than this.

As you would expect, the site is fully licensed. Their gambling license number is 57869 and you can see the details of their license on the UK Gambling Commission’s website.
