Yay Bingo

Intro

Do you love bingo? Yay or nay? Maybe this site will help you decide whether or not bingo is to become your favourite pastime? Oh, it already is? Well then, you've found a great place to exercise your passion for games! Founded in 2018, Yay Bingo is a Dragonfish-powered platform and sister brand to a range of popular sites: Queen Bee, Kozmo, Hunky, Zinger, Blighty to name a few.

This established gaming network is easily recognised by the brightest and liveliest of designs, and perhaps the richest among bonus offerings on the ever-growing UK market. Swap effortlessly between numbered balls and fast-spinning reels, enjoy being a valued customer with rewards that you’ll really want, chat with other like-minded individuals, and get a chance to win numerous prizes.

Celebrations start from the moment you join and not just in the form of a winning welcome offer, but with on-going perks – all with no wagering requirements! If you’re new, you may not fully understand how big a deal this guarantee is; absolutely everything from free bingo to promotional offers come with no terms and conditions to stop you cashing out!

Smiling from ear to ear is guaranteed with an extensive gaming library. Love to spin those slots? You’ll find hundreds of online slots from the likes of NetEnt and Microgaming, all with bountiful bonus features and major cash winning potential. Prefer to play bingo? There are rooms to suit all budgets and there’s even an option to play both – for those of us who like to multi-task!

Tip: Bonus spins do have a win cap but that win cap is still cash! Why not use your bonus spin winnings on a couple games of bingo? You could turn a quid into hundreds if not thousands!

Our Real Money Test

Wager-free Yay Bingo was put to the test on February 7, 2024, and our reviewer found out withdrawals take 24 hours, the welcome offer displayed wasn’t available, and customer support was non-existent.

A real money deposit of £150  was made using Visa Debit on the day of registration (Feb 7th) and the stated welcome offer was not credited, even though the correct promo code was used. Because of this, an email was sent to customer support to ask why the offer wasn’t credited, but to our surprise, no response was ever received!

That being said, there are plenty of positives to Yay Bingo, including never having to meet wagering requirements, fast withdrawals, and, in our reviewer's case – no KYC was needed for a cashout of £75.58. There are plenty of games to choose from and big jackpots up for grabs. Read more about the real money test in our report: Testing Yay Bingo: Expired Welcome Offer and No Support Response

Games

Let’s start with the bingo shall we. The games lobby is separated into sections with categories for the likes of free bingo, jackpots and VIP games. Info on the upcoming games, ticket prices, prizes, the number of players in each room and whether or not a chat host is present can all be viewed from the lobby. Pre-buy is an option available for the special games – this means you don’t even need to be logged in to win!

Traditional bingo games with three prizes per game and a modern version…

…where there are also prizes for 1TG and 2TG players, are among the popular rooms here. Patterned bingo is also a firm favourite, but so too are the bingo roulette and card-based bingo games.

Is there a world where untold riches can be yours from as little as 1p? You bet there is, and you’ll find millions of winning possibilities via the extensive online slots catalogue at Yay Bingo. An explosion of excitement awaits in Bonanza Megaways by Big Time Gaming; the 6-reel engine where wins can fall on up to 117,649 win ways and multipliers increase with every win up to 10,000x!

Other popular games include Twin Spin by NetEnt), Cleopatra by IGT, Shaman’s Dream by Eyecon and Bloodshot by PariPlay. We should point out here that the only time you’ll be hit with a bonus spins win cap is when you’re claiming a bonus spins offer. You’ll not be penalised when playing with your own cash.

Banking Deposit/Withdrawal

• Five payment methods may be registered to the one Yay Bingo account. Please note, withdrawals will be sent back to the last payment method used to credit your account.
• PayPal withdrawals are by far the quickest, only, this deposit route may only become available to new players once a debit card deposit has been made.
• Identification documents will be needed at some point. To reduce the risk of stalling your withdrawal, we recommend uploading these as soon as you register.
• Deposits via Apple Pay, Pay by Phone and Paysafecard will result in withdrawals being sent via bank transfer.
• A processing time applies to all withdrawals, then a completion time. Adding all this up could result in lengthy waiting times for non-e-wallet withdrawals.
• Up to ten withdrawals requests can be made in one day. If multiple requests are submitted, funds may be combined into the one withdrawal.

Mobile Overview

There is but one difference between playing on desktop and playing on mobile and that is size. The best things in life come in small packages and despite its compact appearance, Yay Bingo delivers a mighty gaming experience with no compromises when it comes to quality.

Okay, so the welcome page isn’t exactly the best we’ve seen, but once you log in, it’s as if a firework explodes! Colourful images and eye-dazzling promotions leap out, but all eyes will be on those huge jackpots! Use your finger to navigate the website and to play. You’ll never miss out on a promotion or a reward for choosing to play on the go.

Mobile Games

Fore-warned is fore-armed. Hate small text and compact screens? You may not be a fan of Yay Bingo on mobile. Everything else is superb, but the bingo rooms are very overcrowded with mini games, chat and ticketing information on display. The good news here is you can minimise chat and remove side games from view, allowing you to concentrate on your bingo games only.

The full suite of online slots and instants can be access via the mobile lobby, although you may find that you’ll be prompted to rotate your device in order to play.

Conclusion

As soon as a phrase 'no wagering' is heard, we are ready to jump right in, no further questions asked! Yay Bingo wouldn't be what they are today if they lack knowledge about every bingo player's dream: to pay for less and win even more. Maybe you'll get your wish with the site's many offers, good games and player-friendly terms. Just be ready to wait for payments if you happen to be an electronic wallet user.

The only gripe I have is that bonus spins come with a small maximum win stipulation. This means if you win more than that amount; you won’t receive it. They’re effectively giving with one hand and taking with the other, but they need to see some profits. But what you do receive is real money at the end of the day. The only way you can avoid the disappointment of winning big and receiving small, is by not claiming those bonus spins vouchers at all!
