Mecca Games Review & £20 Welcome Bonus

Mecca Games is the slots-and-Slingo sister site of the Mecca family, and the first thing to know is what it isn’t. There’s no bingo here at all. If you came for the rooms and the chat hosts, you’ll want Mecca Bingo, Kitty Bingo or Lucky Pants instead.

What this site does is take Mecca’s casino side, the slots, Slingo, Megaways and jackpots, and give it a home of its own, with a £20 bonus and 50 free spins to pull you in.

It’s a clean, well-built site, if a thin one on promotions, and we settle on a 3.9 out of 5 score.

Mecca Games Key Facts

Welcome Offer

Opt in at the cashier and make a first deposit of £10, and Mecca Games hands new players a £20 bonus plus 50 free spins. The spins, worth 10p each, land on King Kong 3 Even Bigger Bonus, while the £20 bonus is for a set list of popular slots that includes Big Bass Bonanza, Cleopatra and Starburst.

It’s a first-deposit offer, so you select it before you pay, and PayPal or Paysafecard deposits are shut out of it. One thing in its favour: because this is a separate site to Mecca Bingo, it’s a fresh welcome you can claim even if you already play the bingo, which is really the main reason an existing Mecca player would sign up.

Bonus Wagering

Both halves of the offer carry 10x wagering. On the £20 bonus that’s worked out on your deposit and the bonus together, so £30 played through ten times, which comes to £300 of slots before any winnings can be withdrawn. The free spins winnings arrive as a bonus with the same 10x to clear.

You can turn a maximum of £50 into cash from each half. The spins and the wagering on them last 7 days, the £20 bonus gives you 28, and as always, cashing out before you’ve cleared it costs you whatever bonus hasn’t been played through.

First Impressions

The site looks the part. It carries the same clean white-and-grey styling as Mecca Bingo, lifted with the familiar purple, and the modern game tiles make it easy to find your way around. Everything splits neatly into Slots, Slingo, New Games, Megaways and Jackpots, with the promotions a click away.

Registration takes a couple of minutes, and there’s no bonus code to remember, you just pick the welcome offer in the cashier as you deposit. Where the site shows its budget is the promotions page. It’s noticeably thinner than Mecca Bingo’s, and thinner than Rank’s other casino brands like Grosvenor and Magical Vegas, which is the one real knock on an otherwise polished site.

Promotions and Offers

Promotions come and go here, often on short runs, so check what’s actually live on the official site before banking on any of them.

The promotions are the weak spot, and there’s no dressing it up. Beyond the welcome offer, only a handful run.

• Winning Whirl: a free daily prize wheel that always pays out something, usually free spins or a small cash prize, plus entries into a weekly cash draw.
• Golden Goal Rewards: a six-week run of slot prize drops and tournaments, pooled across the Rank brands so the prize money runs higher.
• Drops & Wins: Pragmatic Play’s year-round slots promotion, with wheel drops and daily leaderboard tournaments.

That’s about the size of it, which is meagre next to the calendar Mecca Bingo keeps stocked.

Promo Codes

There’s no Mecca Games promo code, and the welcome offer is claimed by opting in at the cashier rather than typing anything in. The same goes for the ongoing deals.

People look for a Mecca Games free spins code for today or a free £5 no-deposit code, and neither exists. There’s isn’t a no deposit offer here at all, so a £10 deposit is the only way to unlock the welcome. Keep an eye on your inbox and the promotions page for anything limited-time.

Slots and Casino Games

This is where the site delivers. There are well over a thousand slots from the big studios, the likes of Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Blueprint and Games Global, so the headliners are all here, Big Bass Bonanza, Gates of Olympus and Starburst, sitting next to a deep Megaways shelf and more than 130 jackpot games, Jackpot King included. Slingo gets its own section with 40-odd titles, a handy crossover if you’ve come from the bingo side, and there’s a live game-show corner with the likes of Monopoly Live and Dream Catcher.

Mecca Games Arcade

The one truly Mecca-only touch is the Mecca’s Special arcade, home to in-house quick games such as Mecca Plinko and Mecca Mines that you won’t find on other sites. Beyond that, the honest caveats. There’s no bingo whatsoever, this is purely slots, Slingo and casino, so it won’t stand in for Mecca Bingo if the rooms are what you came for, and the rest of the library comes from the same third-party studios everyone uses, so you’ll have met most of it on Mecca Bingo or any number of other sites.

Game Preview

Mobile App

Mecca Games has an app for Android, free from Google Play, that carries the full slots, Slingo and casino lineup. There’s no iPhone or iPad version, so Apple users play through the mobile site in their browser instead, which scales the tiles down neatly and does everything the app does. The Android app itself is only modestly rated, with the odd grumble about claiming bonuses, so plenty of players just stick to the browser either way. Whichever you use, you log in with the same details.

Signup and Login

Creating an account is quick. Tap Join from the homepage and fill in the usual details, your name, date of birth, address and email, then choose a username and password and confirm you’re over 18. Your information is checked in a few seconds and you’re in.

Your Mecca Games login then works with the same details across the website and the app, and there’s no code to enter for the welcome offer, you simply opt in at the cashier on that first deposit.

Payment Options

Mecca Games accepts the following payment methods:

Both deposits and withdrawals start at £10 here, a touch higher than the £5 you’ll find on sister sites Kitty and Lucky Pants.

What you get in return is speed with no fees. Mecca Games withdrawals run through Fast Withdrawals on cards, PayPal and the major banks, with withdrawals landing in around 15 minutes, while anything not enabled for it takes one to three working days.

Nothing is charged on the way out, and payments show as MECCAGAMES on your statement.

Licensing and Regulation

Mecca Games carries the same licensing as the rest of the Rank stable. The operator is Rank Interactive (Gibraltar) Limited, holding UK Gambling Commission account 57924, with Gibraltar’s RGL 133 and 134 covering players outside Britain. Rank is a London-listed company that has traded since 1995 and runs Mecca Bingo and Grosvenor Casino among many others, so there’s no question over who you’re dealing with. Balances sit at the Commission’s medium protection level, and a dormant account isn’t charged any fee.

The safer-gambling kit is the full Rank set, with deposit limits, reality checks, take-a-break and self-exclusion, a round-the-clock safer-gambling line and links to GamStop and GamCare, while IBAS handles any dispute that can’t be settled directly. Day to day, support comes through live chat, email and a phone line on 0800 901 2179.
