How Did We Choose the Best Bingo App for UK Players?

When we speak about the best bingo app we need to consider what OS it is aimed at. Most of the bingo operators have an iOS compatible app, a few have an Android app but there's not a single app for windows phones. This article will explain why and what you can do if your device is not supported. But to answer the question from the heading, we have 5 main criteria when searching for bingo apps.

• First, we make sure that the welcome bonus is available for mobile users as well and that you can claim it through your mobile phone or tablet. If there are other regular promos, we always mention them. We also take into account the loyalty programmes and the VIP benefits you may take advantage of.
• Then we check what rooms are included in the mobile bingo lobby. Unfortunately, we find many quality PC bingo sites, that don't perform as well when it comes to mobile. Sun Bingo, for instance, offers only slots to Android users. Thus although we like the operator we cannot recommend it because it lacks what's most important – bingo games.
• Another important feature that we are always looking for is the integrated chat function because we realise that bingo is now more of a social activity than simply a game of chance. Not only are the bingo sessions more entertaining when you chat to your roomies, but you can also win a lot of bonuses/Loyalty Points taking part of the chat games organised by the Chat Hosts.
• The safety of your personal and financial data is another crucial aspect. Most bingo apps log you out automatically when you close the app. This is both convenient and makes your stay more secure. Also, there are always use RNGs (Random Number Generators) to guarantee the randomness of the results and the fairness of the games. Some operators even publish their RNG reports and state which testing agency has certified them. The most trusted organisations are iTech Labs and eCogra. If you see the security seal of either one on the website, rest assured of the safety of this site.
• Last but not least, we tell you how you can contact the support. Of course, we all prefer to chat live with a customer service agent but if live support is not available we provide an email and a UK phone number.

The Top 3 iOS Bingo Apps that You Can Trust

Finding an iOS bingo app may seem like an easy breezy task because there are so many of them but once you start looking for one you will realise that you are flooded with offers. How do you know which one is the best? Will you use the trial and error method? Is this the best decision though? Probably not, so make an informed decision.

Android Bingo Apps vs Android Mobile Sites

There are fewer Android apps and even the ones we found weren't as functional as we'd like them to be. Although in theory native apps are developed with the particular device in mind and ergo should be better than the web apps, they are not when it comes to bingo. That's why we'll be talking about the web apps of the operators in the following paragraphs. Basically these are mobile site because you play in your browser so they are compatible with many more devices.

Mecca – The Virtue Fusion powered Mecca Bingo is available for your mobile devices as well. The welcome bonus you can claim is £40 and there are quite many rooms where you can spend it or multiply it. Dancing Queen, Legs Eleven, Two Little Ducks – these are just a few of the exciting 90-ball rooms. There are also the 75-ball Jum and Jive, DOND 75 and the pattern game Sunset Strip. Play exciting slots like Britain's Got Talent, Marine Mayhem, Clover Rollover and many more.

Dream – Dream Bingo is powered by Microgaming so it's no wonder that the casino section is impeccable and there are more games than you are used to seeing on a bingo site. First things first, the Dream Bingo mobile site is just a scaled down version of the PC version. There is a £15 no-deposit bonus which is followed by a 300% welcome bonus that is given on deposits between £10 and £50. As for the bingo lobby, there are 75- and 90-ball rooms some of which are the Day Dreamer, the Sunset Strip and the Cash Castle. The slots are numerous and exclusive. There's the Game of Thrones, Hitman, Tomb Raider and many more. The banking methods are also abundant and besides the traditional Visa, Master, Ukash, PayPal, Neteller, Skrill and Paysafecard there are some unconventional options like iDebit and Instant Banking by Citadel.

Mobile Bingo for Windows Phones

If you have a smartphone that runs on Windows Phone and you want to play bingo on the go you are probably not in the easiest situation. The operators who offer mobile sites adapted for the Windows Phone OS are very few and there is not a single gambling app for bingo in the Windows Store. The ones in the store are purely for fun but are not as thrilling as playing real-money bingo and competing for a big fat jackpot. The only mobile windows bingo site we find worthy of our attention as of the present moment is Gala. There is just one thing though, the web app opens in the Google Chrome browser so you will have to install it before you start playing.

Gala – This is probably one of the most famous UK bingo operators which runs on Virtue Fusion software. Of course, we have a special bonus offer for you that will add £5 to the standard bonus. Go to their site through our links and get £45 plus a free Buzzby scratchcard that can bring up to £500 more. Those of you who love the iconic soap Coronation Street will be glas to find that the mobile site includes the Corrie Bingo room. The TV show based Ant and Dec's Saturday night takeaway is also in the lobby. And the third branded game – the 50-ball Coconut Island will take you away to an exotic coconut island where the sound of the sea waves splashing on the shore guarantee full relaxation and hopefully big wins.

Final Overview and Summary

Of course we cannot single-handedly choose the best bingo app because as you can see this depends very much on the OS your device runs on. But we provided a short summary of the offerings of 6 of the most reputable and trusted online bingo operators in the UK that have developed a mobile platform. If you want to learn more about each of these bingo sites, follow our site because we will be updating it on a regular basis.
