Fabulous Bingo is an online bingo site and casino owned by News Group Newspapers Limited, a media empire that also owns The Sun. It’s a bingo site with a number of slots, and it’s fully licensed in the UK.

It might not look like much at first glance—bold pinks, simple layout—but once you dig beneath the surface you’ll find a rather impressive bingo site/casino with an active community.

Welcome Offer and Other Promotions

The main Fabulous Bingo Welcome Bonus promises £40 in bingo tickets and 40 Free Spins to all new players who join for the first time and spend at least £10.

There are a couple of things to note here.

First, the bonus is not unlocked in its entirety when you deposit £10. At first, you’ll get 40 Free Spins for use on a handful of slots, all at a value of 10 pence per spin. From there, you must spend £10 on bingo tickets to receive an additional £40 worth of tickets.

This bingo bonus has a wagering requirement of just 3x, which means that twenty quid must be wagered to the tune of £60. You have 7 days to meet this requirement, otherwise, you will lose the tickets and associated funds.

The wagering requirements for the Free Spins are a little higher at 30x.

These terms are quite impressive, as it’s not uncommon to see Free Spin bonuses where the spins are valued at just £0.05 or £0.10 and come with a 65x wagering requirement. What’s not impressive, however, is that it’s not available to players who deposit using Skrill, Neteller, or PayPal.

You can still use these methods at a later date, but if you want the bonus, make sure your first deposit is via a method like Visa or MasterCard Debit. Due to anti-money laundering laws, you’ll need to withdraw any winnings back to your debit card and can’t simply add a web wallet for the process of withdrawing.

Beyond the Welcome Bonus, Fabulous Bingo has many other offers to collect. These include regular Free Spin promotions where you just need to deposit and wager specific sums to qualify, and prize giveaways.

At the time of writing, for instance, there is a £200,000 prize giveaway attached to a slot promotion and a £15,000 giveaway attached to a bingo promotion.

Free Bingo

Free bingo rooms are not as common as they used to be, but you can find one of these at Fabulous Bingo. Known as the “Free Bingo Room”, it’s a great place to play bingo for free and get used to the site.

If you’re the sort of person who gets a kick out of gaming regardless of whether you’re betting or not, or you just want to be 100% prepared, I recommend starting with this room.

You may also benefit from the Fabulous Bingo Community, which includes everything from responsible gambling resources to tips from Mystic Meg and information on the latest big winners.

Bingo, Slots, and Other Games

Oftentimes, good bingo sites are not just those with the best bonuses, the biggest jackpots, or the most original games. Let’s be honest, if that was the case then everyone would stick with sites like Wink Bingo and Foxy Bingo and there would be no need to look elsewhere.

It’s about the community, and that’s something that occurs organically and can’t be orchestrated by the owners. The Fabulous Bingo community seems very lively and helpful, and I can see how dedicated bingo players would really like it here.

Some of the games seem a bit outdated and I feel like they lack the style and intrigue of other games, but there are some big jackpots on offer and the games are far from bland.

On the slot side of things, most of the games come from Playtech, one of my favourite developers. Playtech are the ones responsible for the Age of the Gods series and the epic jackpots that go along with them. They have also created many more great games and game series.

Slingo, NetEnt, Blueprint Gaming, Microgaming, IGT, and a few other developers are also included here, making for an eclectic mix of games.

It’s rare to see Microgaming and Playtech together, as these are two huge developers with hundreds of games between them, and casinos usually choose one or the other. Their games have been cherry-picked and you won’t find their full rosters, but there are still stacks of titles from each and it makes for an interesting games room.

Fabulous Bingo Review Summary

Fabulous Bingo has much the same vibe as the other newspaper-style bingo sites I have reviewed, but it’s unique enough to stand out on its own.

The bingo games are interesting and bolstered by the inclusion of a free bingo room and 1p tickets. The slots are also much more than an afterthought, as they are provided by several top creators, including Microgaming and Playtech, two brands that are rarely seen in the same place.

Whether Fabulous Bingo is the right site for you or not will depend on your personal preference, but it’s certainly worth checking out.
