Ted Bingo Review & Promo Code

Welcome to Ted Bingo, a fun and friendly website with a teddy bear mascot, a £20 welcome bonus and three free bingo rooms. Inside you will be able to play a huge selection of bingo and slots games for some large jackpot prizes.

But is this website still any good in 2026? Keep on reading our review below and find out.

Ted Bingo Key Facts

£20 Welcome Offer

Ted’s welcome offer is bingo money, and the arithmetic behind it rewards the smallest qualifying deposit. Join as a new player, pay in £10 with the code WELCOME20, and the site adds 200% of that as a bingo bonus, so a tenner buys you £20 of Ted Bingo bonus money to spend on tickets.

Then the cap bites. Twenty pounds is the ceiling no matter what you deposit, so £50 in still comes back with the same £20 attached. That makes the minimum the best deposit anyone can make here, and there is no version of this offer where paying in more gets you more.

Claiming it isn’t done through the normal cashier, which trips people up. Go to the Offers tab, use the Deposit button sitting inside the offer itself, and enter WELCOME20 there. The bonus carries 4x wagering on bingo, which we get into next, along with a couple of clocks that catch players out.

4x Bonus Wagering

Four times is light. UK rules have capped bonus wagering at 10x since 2026, and Ted asks for less than half of the legal maximum, on bingo tickets only. Twenty pounds of bonus needs £80 of tickets played through it and then it’s yours.

The conditions wrapped around it need more attention. Your bonus lies dormant while there is cash in the account, and only starts buying tickets once that cash balance reads zero. Anything you win with it drops back into the bonus balance rather than into your pocket, so the wagering has to clear before any of it turns into real money.

Then there are the two five-day clocks, and they run on different triggers. One starts the moment the bonus is credited, and whatever hasn’t been played through in five days expires. The other is harsher, because it doesn’t care about the bonus at all. Stay logged out for five days and every bonus on the account is wiped, along with any unfulfilled winnings attached to them.

Your own cash is never trapped. You can take it out whenever you like, though the act of withdrawing forfeits whatever bonus balance is left, so time the cash-out for after the wagering rather than during it.

Ted Bingo Promo Codes

WELCOME20 is the only code Ted runs, and it only works once, on your first deposit.

Plenty of pages will tell you otherwise, and some of that is our own fault. Our older write-up of this site described a welcome spin on Ted’s Wheel with up to £500 of bonus cash on it. That offer has gone, replaced by the flat £20 above, so nobody should be hunting for a wheel code in 2026. Player reviews were still speaking fondly of a Trophy Wheel and a Rewards Wheel in February 2025, and there’s no sign of either in the Offers area now, those have all since been revoked or retired.

Existing players have nothing to type in either. When we signed in July 2026, the Offers area held the welcome bonus and not one thing else, so treat any list of current Ted Bingo promo codes elsewhere as fiction or expired.

First Impressions

The site features a fun-looking homepage. The theme of the site reminds us of the Seth McFarlane movie Ted, starring Mark Wahlberg. There’s a teddy bear mascot who appears to be having lots of fun, driving sports cars, drinking martinis, and gambling with cash.

When you scroll down the page, you can see the site is fully licensed and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission, which is reassuring, plus there is a wide range of payment methods, including PayPal.

The registration process takes just a few seconds to create an account. Unlike other sites listed on Bingotastic, you won’t find any no deposit options, so you will need to fund your account with at least £10 if you want to get the bonus and access to the free games.

Revisiting in 2026, the design still works but it hasn’t been touched in a while. The graphics are compressed hard enough that the artwork looks soft rather than crisp on a decent screen, and there is no navigation to speak of on the public site, so beyond the front page and a few linked sections there is nowhere to browse until you sign in. Tidy rather than tired, then, but nobody has spent money on it lately.

Promotions, and Where They’ve Gone

Promotions change without notice at any bingo site, so read this as a snapshot and check Ted’s own pages before you deposit.

With that caveat made, there is very little to report. We logged in and opened the Offers tab, and the welcome bonus was the only thing sitting in it. The VIP club, the weekly cashback and the share of 10,000 free spins that our previous review covered have all vanished from view. A Rewards tab does sit in the header alongside Offers, so a loyalty side exists, but nothing was being advertised through it while we were on.

That matches the wider picture. The old Dragonfish network Ted belongs to is still running, still taking deposits and still filling a full schedule of games, but the money going into it has clearly been reined in. What Ted gives you now is whatever the network gives everybody, with nothing built for this brand in particular. On a site with a mascot this distinctive, that’s the disappointment.

The Bingo Lobby, Room by Room

We spent an evening in the lobby, and every figure below was on screen at the time. Five tabs carve up the schedule, covering Main, Live Bingo, Special Jackpots, Exclusive and Free Bingo.

Start with the free tab, because it is the strongest thing on the site. Three rooms cost nothing to play. The Grand pays prizes up to £100, The Biggie up to £50, and On the House hands out £2 a game in its 75-ball room. They are also where the players are. On the House held 283 people, more than double anything on the paid side, where the busiest room was the £1,500 Jolly July game with 114. The Grand had 105 in it and The Biggie 94.

One condition to know before you count on it. On the House is not open house, and the room panel spells out why, asking for a deposit inside the last 14 days and no bonus restrictions on your account. Read it as a thank-you to players who are already putting money in, not a way of playing Ted for nothing. The prizes are also a long way from the £100 to £500 this page used to claim for free bingo. Two pounds to a hundred is the real range.

On the House isn’t really Ted’s room, of course, since it runs across the whole network. Costa Bingo’s version held 328 players when we reviewed that site, against Ted’s 283, which is roughly the ratio you would expect between the two.

The paid rooms are cheap. Penny Express takes 1p a ticket for 90-ball and was carrying a progressive jackpot of £3,005.64 while we watched, and Flip It sells 1p tickets too. Most of the rest sit at 5p or 7p, with Jolly July at 25p the priciest thing on the board. Linked & Loaded 90 had a £10,749.78 progressive attached to a 5p ticket, and it ticked past £10,750 while our tab was open, which is the sort of thing that makes a lobby feel alive. Moonalicious was showing £6,350.78 and the 75-ball version of Linked & Loaded £862.96.

Two rooms break from the usual ball counts entirely. Woolly Bingo in the Woolly Safari room and Suit Up both run the format the lobby labels 52-5, drawing from a deck-sized 52 rather than the usual 75 or 90 numbers, and Suit Up leans into the idea with tickets dealt out as playing cards. Between them they kill off the old line on this page about Ted only offering 75 and 90-ball. Pots in those rooms are small in the way penny bingo always is, £9.24 in Woolly Safari and £22.78 in Suit Up as we passed through, with 10 and 16 players in them.

Buying in is more flexible than it first looks. The ticket panel loads with 24 selected, which is alarming on a 25p game, but you can wind it down to a single ticket.

Slots, Slingo and Scratchcards

The homepage headline claims 500 games, and the grid underneath it is more current than the rest of the site would suggest. Big Bass Bonanza, Big Bass Splash and Bigger Bass Bonanza all appear in the first couple of rows, next to Gold Blitz, 9 Masks of Fire, Buffalo King Megaways, Temple of Iris, Immortal Romance and Cash ’N Riches Megaways. That is the Pragmatic Play and Games Global end of the market rather than the Dragonfish back catalogue, and it is the clearest sign that somebody is still restocking the shelves.

The old library hasn’t been thrown out, mind. Open a bingo room and the side rail running alongside the game, badged Best of UK, is pure Dragonfish comfort food, with Fluffy Favourites, Fluffy Too, Double Bubble, Enchanted Prince and both of the Pots of Gold titles queued up to play between calls.

Anyone looking for a Ted Bingo casino should know what shape it takes. Once you’re signed in, the header offers Bingo and Slots and nothing else, and no live dealer lobby showed itself anywhere on our visit. The casino side here means slots, scratchcards, Bingo Roulette and a decent Slingo shelf that runs to Deal or No Deal Slingo, Slingo Britain’s Got Talent, Big Money Slingo and Slingo Extreme, each reachable as its own section from the footer. If you fancy blackjack, you need to look elsewhere!

Mobile Preview

The Ted Bingo Mobile App

Android players get a real app. Ted Bingo on Google Play is published by Broadway Gaming Ireland DF Limited, and scores 4.3 stars from 102 reviews on a base of over a thousand downloads. Small numbers, decent marks, and it is the operator’s own listing rather than a lookalike.

iPhone owners have a problem, and it isn’t the one the site describes. No Ted Bingo app exists in Apple’s App Store. Search and you will find something called Ted Bingo that turns out to be a bingo caller and dauber tool with no connection to this operator, which is no use at all for playing here.

The odd part is that Ted’s own iPhone page still walks you through downloading its App Store app, step by step, for an app that is not there. Follow those instructions and you will go round in circles. The Ted Bingo mobile site is the answer instead, carrying the full lobby, the cashier and your account in any phone browser, and it behaves properly on an iPhone. Pin it to your phone’s home screen and you would struggle to tell the two apart. Worth not getting confused about what’s offered.

Ted Bingo Login and Signup

You will be pleased to hear that the registration process is straightforward and it will only take around 3-5 minutes of your time to get your login details. Just click on the green ‘Join Now’ button to open the signup form and then fill in the required fields with your full name, date of birth, address and email. You will then be able to enter your preferred username and password before accepting the T&Cs by ticking the box to finalise your account creation.

From there you can sign in, add your payment details and claim your welcome offer.

Your Ted Bingo login is whatever username and password you settled on at registration, and the same pair opens the Android app. You will find the LOGIN button paired with JOIN NOW on the homepage, and signing in changes the header, adding Offers and Rewards to the Home, Bingo and Slots links, with a live chat bubble parked in the corner of the lobby. One habit to form here. If there is bonus money on the account, don’t let five days go by without signing in, because Ted’s terms wipe the lot.

Payment Methods and Withdrawal Times

Accepted payment methods at tedbingo.com include:

• Apple Pay
• PayPal
• Visa Debit
• Mastercard Debit

That list is the whole list. Debit cards, PayPal and Apple Pay all work in both directions, and there is no Paysafecard and nothing from Skrill or Neteller, which rules Ted out if you would rather keep a bank card out of it altogether. Ted’s footer still links a Pay by Mobile Casino page, but paying by phone bill is not among the methods the cashier takes, so don’t plan an evening around it. Ten pounds is the minimum on a deposit and on a withdrawal alike. PayPal charges 10p a transaction, the only fee anywhere in the cashier, while cards and Apple Pay move money for nothing.

Cashing out comes with a rule that surprises people. Your money can only leave by a route you have already used to put money in, so a card-only depositor gets paid back onto that card. Anything above the total you have ever deposited comes out by bank transfer instead, and that is the only place wire transfer appears at Ted. It is not a deposit option, whatever older pages tell you.

Speeds are quoted in days rather than hours. Cards and Apple Pay run 4 to 7 business days, PayPal 4 to 5, and bank transfers 7 to 10. Your bank statement will read Broadway Gaming UK Ltd rather than Ted Bingo, which is normal and not a sign of anything going wrong.

The practical advice comes from Ted’s own Trustpilot page. The complaint that surfaces again and again is the wait while identity checks run, with payouts held up until they clear, and one reviewer describing a queue for bank transfers. The same page carries a player who won £998 and had the money the next day. Verification is usually what separates the two, so get your documents sent in and approved before you need a payout rather than after you have asked for one.

Licensing, Regulation and Getting Help

We looked the licence up rather than take it on trust. The Gambling Commission’s public register put account 58267 with a Dublin company, Broadway Gaming Ireland DF Limited, and tedbingo.com was sitting in its active list. That entry doubles as a lesson in how big this old network is, since the licence has more than 150 domain names on its books, a long column of live brands with a stack of retired ones beneath them.

The logged-in footer carries the usual furniture, an eCOGRA seal for independent testing, a Gambling Commission link, GamStop, and GamCare alongside its 0808 8020 133 helpline. Deposit limits and the rest of the safer gambling tools live in your account settings.

Ted’s Trustpilot score is 3.9 out of 5 from 136 reviews, which reads about right against what we found. The detail we would point at is the reply rate. Every negative review on that page has an answer underneath it, usually inside a day, which is more attention than a site this quiet needs to give.

If you need help, live chat sits in the corner of the lobby once you are signed in, email goes to help@bingosupport.org, and the help centre at tedbingo.zendesk.com holds FAQ answers plus a form for raising a ticket. We haven’t tested how quickly any of them come back, so we won’t pretend to know.

Ted Bingo Sister Sites

Ted has a history most players won’t know about. The site was marketed by Rank, the company behind Mecca Bingo, as one of a run of Dragonfish white labels rather than as a Rank brand in its own right. Robin Hood Bingo, Moon Bingo, Polo Bingo, Loony Bingo, Lucky Pence, Tip Top Bingo and Gossip Bingo all sat in that same stable. Rank has since let them go and Broadway Gaming manages the lot today.

The whole stable is still trading, too.

These five have full Bingotastic reviews behind them:

• Costa Bingo
• Robin Hood Bingo
• Moon Bingo
• Tip Top Bingo
• Loony Bingo

Costa is one of the closest comparisons of the five, and the one to try if free bingo is what brought you to Ted in the first place. Past these names, the platform reaches a great deal further, and the operator further still. Our guide to Dragonfish bingo sites maps the software side, while the full Broadway Gaming list covers everything the operator has its name on.
