Deal or No Deal Bingo takes the Banker, the boxes and the big question from the TV show and puts them at the end of a bingo game. Win the game, and you get a second shot at money: the Banker makes you an offer, and you decide whether to take it or open your box.
We found it in more lobbies than almost any other branded room, with 90-ball and 75-ball versions across Playtech’s Virtue Fusion network and separate takes at the Entain sites (Gala, Foxy, Ladbrokes) and tombola. We sat in the rooms at Mecca to watch how a round actually plays out.
Deal or No Deal Bingo Sites
The 90 and 75-ball Deal or No Deal rooms are part of Virtue Fusion, Playtech’s bingo network, so any site on it can carry them. These are the sites we work with where we’ve seen Deal or No Deal in the lobby, most of them on Virtue Fusion. Each card links to our full review.

Read ReviewWe checked Mecca, Sun, Buzz, Kitty and Gala in November 2026. The rest come from our latest review of each site. Sky Bingo and PlayOJO run both rooms too, though we don’t work with either.
Not every Deal or No Deal room is the network one. Gala, Foxy and Ladbrokes left Virtue Fusion for Entain’s own software, so their rooms aren’t part of the shared jackpot below. tombola builds its own version, covered at the end of this page.
Lobbies change, and branded rooms do come and go, so the room list on the day is the final word.
How the Banker Round Works
Above your tickets sits a board of 22 numbered boxes, each holding a cash value. In the room we watched, a box opened whenever its number was called, and its value dropped off the board. So the bingo game is also knocking out boxes as it goes, the way contestants do on the show.
Whoever wins the main game plays the Banker. The screen says “The banker is calling”, an offer appears, and then the rest of the room gets a say: everyone holding tickets votes Deal or No Deal while a countdown bar shows how the vote is going. The vote is advice, though. The winner makes the final choice.
In the round we saw, the winner was offered £9.09 with eight boxes left. They took the deal, and their box held £3.24, so the Banker paid nearly three times what they’d have got by holding out. That came on top of £37.33 in line prizes from the same game.
Is the Banker’s Offer Fair?
Here’s the bit we didn’t expect. The eight values still on the board at that point were £1.44, £2.16, £3.24, £3.60, £3.96, £4.32, £18 and £36. They add up to £72.72, and divided by eight, that’s exactly £9.09, the Banker’s offer to the penny.
That’s one round, so we wouldn’t call it a rule. But if the offer is the average of the boxes left, taking it costs you nothing on average, and the real choice is whether you’d rather bank the offer or gamble on one of the two big boxes. Six of those eight boxes held less than the offer.
The values themselves grow with the ticket price. At 10p in the 90-ball room, the board ran from £1.02 to £170. At 15p in the 75-ball room, it ran from 72p to £180.
Deal or No Deal 90-Ball Bingo
The 90-ball version plays like any 90-ball game, with prizes for one line, two lines and a full house, then the Banker round for the house winner. Mecca’s lobby had it at 10p a ticket, and the game we checked paid £11.85 for one line, £17.77 for two lines and £38.50 for the house.
The big draw is the progressive jackpot. It pays out if the full house comes within 34 calls, and it doesn’t all go to the winner, though. Half goes to the player who hits it, and the other half is shared proportionally across the rest of the room. 3% of every ticket feeds the pot, and once it’s won, it drops back to £5,000. When we checked, it stood at £84,695.
Mecca’s game info says you take on the Banker “with some company from presenter Noel Edmonds”.
Deal or No Deal 75-Ball Bingo
The 75-ball room uses a 5×5 ticket with the centre square starred out as a free space. Instead of a single line and a house, there are five prizes, one for each line you complete. At 15p a ticket, the game we watched paid £6.67 for two lines, £9.33 for three, £12 for four and £16 for all five, with the one-line prize split three ways.
Its jackpot works the same way as the 90-ball one (half to the winner, half to the room, 3% of tickets, back to £5,000 when it goes), but the target is covering the card within 43 calls. It was on £35,727 when we looked. Mecca’s game info also lists free tickets as enabled in the room, though it doesn’t say how you get them.
Never played 75-ball? Our types of bingo page sets it beside 90-ball and the smaller formats.
One Jackpot, Several Sites
On Virtue Fusion, Deal or No Deal isn’t really a separate room at each operator. It’s one shared game. When we checked Mecca, Sky Bingo, Buzz and PlayOJO at the same moment, the 90-ball jackpot showed the same £84,6xx figure everywhere, and the 75-ball jackpot matched on every site that showed it.
That has two effects. The jackpot climbs faster than any single site’s players could push it, because tickets bought at all of them feed it. And the player count you see in one lobby isn’t everybody you’re playing against.
The names change from site to site, which can make it look like different games:
| Site | 90-ball room | 75-ball room |
|---|---|---|
| Mecca | Deal or No Deal 90 Ball | Deal or No Deal 75 Ball |
| Sky Bingo | DOND Bingo | DOND 75 Ball |
| Buzz | Deal or No Deal Bingo 90 | DOND Bingo 75 |
| PlayOJO | Deal or No Deal | Deal or No Deal 75 |
Our bingo room games hub lists the other network rooms that run under different names on different sites.
Deal or No Deal at Gala
Gala’s Deal or No Deal rooms look much the same from the outside, but they’re Entain’s own game, not the network one. The Banker round follows the same idea. Each game has 22 amounts in 22 briefcases, set by how much has been staked on that game. One briefcase is picked at random as the player’s; the other 21 are each given a number from 1 to 90, and when that number is called, the briefcase opens, and its amount leaves the board. When someone wins the full house, the Banker offers them a choice. You can either take it on top of the full house prize, or turn it down and open the briefcase.
Gala’s rules say nothing about the rest of the room voting, so the winner makes the call alone. The jackpot is where the two versions really part company:
| Deal or No Deal 90 jackpot | Gala (Entain) | Mecca (Playtech network) |
|---|---|---|
| Value on 9 November 2026 | £5,466 | £84,695 |
| Full house needed within | 32 calls | 34 calls |
| Share of each ticket | 0.05% | 3% |
| Split | 50% winner / 50% room | 50% winner / 50% room |
| Restarts at | £5,000 | £5,000 |
Gala’s 32-call target is actually harder to hit, which should let a jackpot build. Its pot stays small because it takes only 0.05% of each ticket, and tickets in Gala’s 90-ball room were 1p when we looked, compared with 3% of a 10p ticket at Mecca.
tombola’s Own Version
tombola doesn’t use the Virtue Fusion game. Its Deal or No Deal Bingo runs on bingo90, the in-house 90-ball game, with tickets from 10p to £2, and runs a Banker round after every game rather than only for the house winner. The progressive jackpot starts at £500 and needs a full house in 42 numbers or fewer.
There are also two instant games carrying the brand, Banker’s Bonus and Banker’s Vault, and tombola offers a version of the game that costs nothing to play. Our tombola bingo games guide explains how each one plays.
