Bingo Paradise Rating

Over the years, Heart Bingo has established itself as a prominent, award-winning UK brand, in part thanks to its association with the popular radio station, Heart Radio.

Since September 2021, Heart Bingo has been operated by BV Gaming Limited.

It’s fair to say that Heart Bingo has the pedigree and could be a classic. In this Heart Bingo review, I’ll see if that’s the case.

The Welcome Offer

Heart Bingo offers all new members who use the link on this page a bonus package of 500 Free Tickets for the Heart Bonanza bingo room.

To qualify, you need to deposit and wager at least £10, at which point your bonus will activate.

You need to be a new player to qualify for this bonus and it’s limited to one per household. The £50 Bingo bonus is based on 500,  £0.10 tickets. The rewards expire after 7 days. Debit Card/Apple Pay are the only payment methods accepted for this promotion.

Promotions

Once you’ve signed up, claimed your Welcome Bonus, and met all of those terms, you can sink your teeth into the casino’s other promotions. These are seasonal, so they come and go frequently, but generally, you’ll find a selection of bingo/slot events with guaranteed prizes, jackpots, and more.

For example, when the site celebrated its tenth anniversary, it offered daily prizes to its loyal members. Every day from Jan 1 to Jan 14, 2021, players were invited to reveal a prize and collect £1 or more.

Players can also join the Newbie’s Room for 5 days after a minimum spend of 1p on bingo.

Heart Bonanza Daily also gives  players 6 tries every day to match 3 or more symbols for the chance to win prizes including Free Spins, Free Bingo tickers or up to £500 cash, This exclusive game is open to any ‘Heartie’ who has deposited £10 within the last 7 days. 

Games and Software Providers

Heart Bingo has an excellent range of both bingo games (provided by Pragmatic Play) and slot games from a wide range of suppliers. The games are neatly arranged by the following sections:

• Jackpots: A single spin is all it takes to win 6-figure sums on games like Wonderland, Deal or No Deal, and Tiki Island.
• Bingo: Win anywhere from £50 to over £20,000 with tickets that cost as little as £0.05. The Festival Time bingo room, for instance, currently has a jackpot of over £10,000 and a buy-in of just £0.10. If you’re lucky enough to make it to the Bingo Winners Club, you can even play for free, scooping real money prizes on the way.
• Top Slots: Drop by this section to play slots from developers like NetEnt, Scientific Games, IGT, and many others. Games include Rainbow Riches, Starburst, Tiki Totems, Bubble Wild, and Celebrity Riches.
• Instant: Most of the games in this section are virtual scratchcards, including a Deal or No Deal scratchcard that features the Jackpot King progressive jackpot system.
• Casino: Evolution Gaming’s Crazy Time, Dream Catcher, European Roulette, Lightning Roulette, and Monopoly Live all form part of Heart Bingo’s extensive Live Casino. You don’t have to go live to play table games as this section includes virtual games of Roulette, Blackjack, Keno, Baccarat, and more.
• Poker: The variety of poker tournaments is modest, to say the least, but you can still play for big prizes and test your mettle in guaranteed tournaments.

Depositing and Withdrawing

Heart Bingo offers the usual range of deposit methods including Mastercard, Visa, Maestro, Fast Funds, and Paypal. It’s worth keeping in mind that Paypal cannot be used on your first deposit.

Heart Bingo Review Summary

In 2019, Heart Bingo won a WhichBingo award.

I know what you’re thinking…Which? has bingo awards?

It makes a big change from laptops and washing machines—maybe they’re just branching out?

In actual fact, WhichBingo has no connection to the famous consumers’ association. It’s basically a major bingo website that was founded in 2000 and is clearly held in high regard by the sites that it reviews.

There’s no issue there. An award is an award, and while we’re not talking about a nationally recognised consumer brand, it’s still an established and respected website. Heart Bingo actually won two awards. One for “Best Mobile Bingo Site” and another for “Best Chat Team”. (It didn’t win any awards in 2020 and was usurped by Mecca Bingo.)

To be honest, I wouldn’t describe it as “the best” in any area. It’s good…but not great. The aesthetic works on mobile but feels dated on desktop; the games are plentiful, but lack originality, and it could do with having a few more promotions.

It’s not bad, far from it, and I would still recommend checking it out; I just expected a little more from such an experienced brand, and I was a little disappointed as a result.
