What is a no deposit bonus?

A bingo no deposit offer is just that – free bingo, slot spins, or bonus credits granted to players without a requirement to fund your account. It’s a great way to test the waters and even cashout real money winnings.

More Information

Are there any bonuses that are exclusive to LBB?

Yes! We’ve partnered with numerous bingo operators to bring you unique registration and welcome offers. Browse bingo bonuses including no deposits, slot spins and deposit matches that you’ll only find here.

More Information

What is a cashback bonus?

Cashback is based on a percentage of your losses, which is usually granted on a weekly or monthly basis. As a consistent loyal player, cashback is a guaranteed way to get money back on your lost deposits. Find out which bingo sites offer this type of bonus.

More Information

What are wagering requirements and can I keep what I win?

Wagering requirements or turnover terms, is a phrase used to describe how many times a bonus must be played through before a withdrawal can be requested. For example, if a 100% welcome offer carries a 4x wagering requirement and you deposit £10, you’ll receive £10 in bonuses. Your total playthrough will be £40 before you’re able to cash out your winnings. Slot game bonuses are often higher and can be as much as 99x.

More and more bingo sites are opting for a fair gaming experience. With wager-free offers, everything you see is guaranteed to be without wagering requirements and maximum win limits. While not all offers from all operators are wager-free, many still permit players to keep their winnings once the playthrough has been met.

More Information

What is the difference between cashable and non-cashable (sticky) bonuses?

When a bonus is cashable, it simply means that you can cash out the bonus value along with the deposit plus winnings once wagering requirements are met. A sticky bonus, aka non-cashable, may not be withdrawn. The amount of the bonus will be removed from your real money balance once the rollover has been met or when once a withdrawal is requested.

For example, let’s say you receive a 100% deposit match up to $100 on a $100 deposit.

  • Cashable: $200 to play with and if the bonus is cashable, you can withdraw $200 the bonus + deposit + winnings once wagering requirements are met.
  • Non-cashable: If the offer is sticky, the $100 match will be removed from your balance allowing you to cashout deposit + winnings.

Gaming Licenses 101

Choosing an online bingo operator can seem overwhelming with all the options out there. One of the first steps to identifying a trustworthy destination is to ensure that it’s licensed by a reputable jurisdiction. Licensing authorities such as the UKGC and MGA ensure licensees follow  industry standards. They run a tight ship with zero tolerance for noncompliance.

More Information

Are there any bingo sites I should avoid?

Not all bingo operators are created equally. We’ve done the work for you in terms of uncovering clear orrogue terms and conditions, delayed or nonpayment issues, poor customer service, unlicensed sites and any other red flags associated with an online bingo brand.

Making a Deposit

There are numerous banking methods available when it comes to funding your online bingo account. Many of them vary depending on your geographical location. PayPal, Neteller, Interac and credit/debit are just some of the options available. While not all also allow for withdrawals, we’ve got a guide to helpyou on your journey.

How do I verify my account?

Know Your Customer (KYC) is a critical aspect in the online gambling world. This process involves much more than verifying your email or phone number. Operators require players to upload or email documentation to prove your identity. These may include utility bills, government issued id, bank statements, images of cards used and even a selfie. Requirements will vary depending on the bingo site. Have no fear, we’ve created a guide covering the basics of KYC.

How long does it take to process Visa Debit Card withdrawals?

This depends on where you are playing. Generally speaking, once processed, debit card withdrawals take 3 to 5 working days to land in your bank account. Unless you’re playing at a bingo site where Visa Debit card withdrawals are now swifter than ever! Such operators process withdrawals within 24 hours while others, like Tombola, pay within just 2 hours! Processing times are stated within the T&C’s and also in our extensive reviews.

More Information

Is PayPal the fastest way to cashout online bingo winnings?

More often than not, yes! If the bingo site takes several working days to process debit card withdrawals, PayPal is among the best banking options to get paid quickly. PayPay payments are generally received within 24-hours, however, Visa Debit is sometimes processed just as fast.

More Information

What does ‘Processing’ withdrawals mean?

Processing a withdrawal is the time it takes for operators to get round to your request. This time can be anything from 24-48 hrs and is in addition to the overall time it takes for them to approve your request.
