Bingo columnist
Pauline Lark, Terry’s sister, writes about bingo. She has played longer than most chat hosts have been alive, likes a penny room and a busy chat, and wants bonuses that last past Tuesday. Pauline is a house character: every review under her name is tested on a real account by our editors.
Wombat Bingo is one of those bingo sites that wants to be your favourite armchair, and it very nearly manages it. It calls itself “your cosy online bingo burrow” (I’ll forgive the pun, because I laughed), and its welcome banner signs off with “Let’s dig in”. Underneath the fur, it runs on ProgressPl
Pauline Lark · 25 Oct 2026Wink Bingo is one of those bingo sites that has been around long enough to remember when online bingo was a novelty. It was founded in 2008 (it doesn’t act its age, and I mean that kindly), and it now sits with the Broadway Gaming Group. Underneath, it’s a busy, sensible hall: Flip It sells 1p ticke
Pauline Lark · 25 Oct 2026Vampire Bingo is one of those bingo sites that commits to the bit, and I rather admire it. It calls itself the only vampire-themed bingo site in the UK, it’s brand new (its About Us page says it was founded in 2026), and even the live bingo show is billed as running “every Friday after dark”. Undern
Pauline Lark · 25 Oct 2026Slingo is one of those sites that invented its own game and then built a house around it. The Slingo name goes back to 1994 (long before most of us had heard of online bingo), and the idea is simple and a bit addictive: Slingo says it brings together the best of slots, bingo and table games. I’ll co
Pauline Lark · 25 Oct 2026Queen’s Bingo is one of those bingo sites that saves its best for Friday night, and I’ve learned to keep my Fridays free. It calls itself a new online bingo site, and it runs on ProgressPlay’s platform with its bingo on Playtech’s live bingo network (the one that used to be called Virtue Fusion, whi
Pauline Lark · 25 Oct 2026Panda Bingo is one of those bingo sites that is new on the outside and well-worn on the inside. Its About Us page says it was founded in 2026 (so it’s barely out of the nursery), but it runs on ProgressPlay’s bingo network, and the rooms will feel familiar to anyone who has played Queen’s or ChitCha
Pauline Lark · 25 Oct 2026Heart Bingo is one of those bingo sites that sounds exactly like the radio station it’s named after, and I mean that as a compliment. The brand is borrowed, under licence, from Global (the people behind Heart FM), so the rooms are called things like Feel Good, Turbo Tunes and Vibe With 75, and I’ll
Pauline Lark · 25 Oct 2026Gala Bingo is one of those bingo sites that has the telly on in the corner, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. There’s a Coronation St. Bingo room, an Emmerdale room, The Chase Bingo and two Deal or No Deal rooms (I’ll admit I play the soaps ones with a cup of tea and no shame at all). Underneath
Pauline Lark · 25 Oct 2026Foxy Bingo is one of those bingo sites that hands you something just for turning up, and I’ll admit that’s half the reason I keep going back. There’s a Rewards Wheel to spin every day where every spin wins something (cash, free spins or Foxy Dollars), and a bigger one on Fridays. The Foxy Dollars go
Pauline Lark · 25 Oct 2026Dotty Bingo is one of those bingo sites that doesn’t pretend to be anything grander than a good night of numbers, and I like it for that. It’s a Broadway Gaming site (the copyright line runs back to 2010), and it keeps things small and friendly: a few hundred slots and casino games rather than thous
Pauline Lark · 25 Oct 2026ChitChat Bingo is one of those bingo sites that tells you exactly what it’s for in its name, and then actually delivers. Its own motto is “come for the bingo, stay for the chat” (I didn’t need persuading), and every bingo room has live chat, with a friendly chat host promised on top. It sits on Prog
Pauline Lark · 25 Oct 2026BingoStars is one of those bingo sites that has been around long enough to have a regulars’ corner, and it shows. It says it has been going for more than ten years, and it changed hands in April 2026, when Solaya Group took over from Dazzletag (you won’t notice, which is rather the point). Underneat

ReviewMecca is one of those bingo sites that doesn’t stop at the screen, and that’s what I love about it. Behind it are 41 clubs (I’ve a soft spot for a proper hall), and you can even ask for your winnings in cash and pick them up at a club the same day. Online, it’s just as lively. Penny Lane sells ticke

ReviewKitty Bingo is one of those bingo sites that does the simple things well and doesn’t make a fuss about it. It has been purring along since the second half of 2012 (forgive me, the cat puns come with the territory), and the theme is cheerful rather than daft. Underneath the whiskers, it’s a proper ti

ReviewLucky Pants is one of those bingo sites that has never taken itself too seriously, and I mean that kindly. It has been running since January 2013 (the room names haven’t grown up since, and I hope they never do): Naughty 90, Saucy 75, Penny Paradise. Underneath the cheek, though, it’s a sensible hal
