Welcome Offer

Register an account at Fancy Bingo today and you will gain access to a free bingo room with no deposit required. This gives you a chance to check out the bingo action before funding your account. You can play for 2 days without spending any money, giving you a great opportunity to try the games.

On top of that, you will receive a 300% match bonus on your first deposit of £10 or more to check out the bingo rooms with. Furthermore, they will also add 30 free spins into your account and these can be used on the Fruit Blast game.

Bonus Wagering

There are a couple of caveats to these offers and some other things you should be aware of, so make sure you read the website terms and conditions before you spend your hard-earned money. The most important of which however are the 2x wagering requirements for the bingo bonus and the 30x wagering and £6 bonus cap on the free spins.

First Impressions

Fancy Bingo is owned and operated by Mandalay Media Ltd, the same company that also runs Costa Bingo and Wink Bingo.

The design of all of their websites is very good. You can see considerable time and effort has gone into this site to make sure that no expense was spared in terms of the look and feel.

Bonuses and Promotions

Bonuses and promotions are subject to change at any time. Please check the official website to verify their accuracy.

  • First Deposit Bonus: Get a 300% bingo bonus worth up to £200 + 20 free spins on a qualifying deposit of £10+.
  • Fancy Free Bingo Games: Make a deposit today and get access to the “Fancy-Free Games” with £50 prizes every hour, free entry of course!

Bingo and Slots Games

At Fancy Bingo there are plenty of free rooms to play in, in fact, there are 3 in total. Both the Fancy Free Room and the Fun Free and Fancy Room can be accessed by funded players and offer up to £50 in prizes every hour. The Bingo Academy can be accessed by all players with absolutely no deposit required. The prizes are only £1, but this room provides a fantastic opportunity to check out the bingo action and win some prizes without even touching your wallet!

It is also worth mentioning that top-ups of £5 or more will unlock access to the Tea Party game for the following 4 days. Unlike the regular freebie rooms, the Tea Party game offers a guaranteed prize each day you play! Aside from the free bingo offering, players will also be able to enjoy six 90 ball rooms, four 75 ball rooms and 9 jackpot games. Prices are mostly between 1p and 10p a ticket with prizes at the time of writing reaching £3000.

As Fancy Bingo is operated by Broadway Gaming it means you will get access to all of your favourite games like Sugar Train, Irish Luck and Amazon Wild. In total, there are over 100 different games to choose from. Unfortunately, you have to be a depositing player in order to get access to the slot games. So in reality, there are no free online slots on this site.

Aside from slot games, you can also get access to table games like Roulette and a handful of scratch cards, the X-Factor scratch game being my favourite.

Signup and Login

Signing up and logging in to this website is very easy. The registration process takes approximately 3-5 minutes and only requires you to enter the basic details such as your name, date of birth, home address and email address. Then, all that is left to do is create a username and password and tick the box to agree that you are over 18 and agree to the T&Cs and privacy policy. With all the formalities complete your account will be created and activated, allowing you to log in and go on to claim your welcome offer.

You can top up your account here with as little as £5, so it doesn’t cost much at all to have a flutter. Similarly, the minimum withdrawal is low at just £5 too, making it easy to withdraw your winnings.

When it comes to withdrawal timeframes, you can usually expect a 2 day processing period followed by a further 2-5 business days for your money to reach your account.

Summary

Personally, I am a huge fan of Fancy’s sister sites Costa Bingo and Sing Bingo. Both are very bustling bingo rooms, provide lucrative free bingo games and have excellent ongoing promotions. Fancy Bingo seemingly lets the side down a little bit. Don’t get me wrong, the site is still good, I am just so impressed with their other sites I find it hard to justify playing here instead of there.

Some positives of playing here include the rewarding welcome package, low £5 minimum deposit, plenty of penny games and the ability to play free games before you even fund your account. Drawbacks include the fact that it is less busy than some of the more popular and bustling websites.
