Coral Bingo Bingo Site Review

If it’s bingo games you came looking for, then Coral Bingo is more than happy to oblige! There’s been a recent switch to the Entain bingo platform, which makes the site appear quite different from how it used to look. Every possible type of bingo player has been considered, so there’s plenty of options available.

There are 20 bingo rooms to choose from, including Bonanza, Arena, Bingo Beats, Fluffy Bingo, Boost and Spotlight. Whether you like your games fast and furious or more slow and measured, Coral has it covered, offering 90, 80, 75, 50, 36 and 30-ball games.

Free bingo games

Tickets are priced from as little as 1p, with the majority priced at 5p – 10p. We spotted a couple of games with tickets on sale for 15p, and that could rise even higher for some special games. If it's free games you’re looking for, Coral has that covered too! Head for the Bonanza room, which offers daily free games with a prize pool of £500. Play at the weekend and it doubles to £1,000, so be sure to claim your tickets!

Special bingo games

Players looking for something a little different should check out the Stadium Room, which is exclusive to Coral Bingo. This is a room created specifically for sports fans, so the chat rooms are the place to be if you want to join in the fun. Also drawing inspiration from the world of sports betting is Cash Out Bingo. When you’re one number away from a full house, but you think there’s competition, you can choose to cash out and take a guaranteed payout.

There are some big progressive jackpot prizes available at Coral Bingo. We discovered a prize worth over £10K in the Deal or No Deal room, while over in the Arena room the prize pot had reached well over £33K!

Slots

The home page at Coral Bingo displays a few online slot games under headings that include New, Slingo, Most Popular and Community Choice. Although only a small selection are displayed, they’re all high-quality games from leading slot developers.

In addition to games such as Fluffy Favourites from Eyecon, and Who Wants to be a Millionaire Megaways from Big Time Gaming, we found a handful of Slingo games too. The More Than Bingo section offers automated slot-style bingo, keno and lotto games including Sweet Alchemy Bingo and Rainforest Magic Bingo amongst others.

We also found a small collection of classic slots and player favourites, which included Cleopatra and Golden Goddess. No table games are offered, but they’re accessible all the same. Your Coral Bingo account lets you play any of the hundreds of slots and table games at Coral Casino within a couple of clicks, so the world of online gaming is literally at your fingertips!

Most bingo sites change their promotions and offers to tie in with the seasons, and Coral Bingo is no different. To track down what’s new, you’ll need to click on the main Offers tab, then scroll down to reach the bingo promotions. There’s always something to discover, including details of the latest free bingo games and discounted packages.

The chat rooms are the place to be if you want to help yourself to special offers and enter exclusive competitions. Chat hosts award a £5 bonus every week to any Chatty Champions who’ve been adding extra sparkle to the community. They also award special access to private bingo sessions, so it’s worth joining in with the fun.

The payments system is as efficient as you’d expect from a major brand such as Coral Bingo. The site accepts all major debit cards, together with paysafecard, PayPal and Apple Pay. The minimum deposit is just £5, although PayPal requires a deposit of at least £10. Players can also use their Connect card to top up their Coral Bingo account at any Coral retail premises.

Minimum withdrawals are also just £5, with Coral Bingo taking around 24 hours to approve requests. Some financial providers offer instant transactions, but depending on the method you choose, be prepared to add up to 4 extra days for the funds to reach your account.

Coral Bingo offers plenty of advice on its site, with guides for bingo beginners and useful tips about chat room etiquette. Searching for an FAQ section takes you to the main Coral help pages, with only a small section covering bingo.

It wasn't as straight forward as we'd like to find the support options. You have to go though the FAQs before you see a 'Need more help?' button which then lists various ways of getting in touch. Most bingo sites display contact options prominently, so we found this a little disappointing for such a big organisation. We got there eventually though.

There's a live chat, the option of sending a message via contact form, calling their freephone support number on 0800 44 00 11, and you can even send private messages via Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Responsible gambling

Coral Bingo takes its responsibilities very seriously, ensuring that links are prominently displayed to resources such as GamStop and BeGambleAware. You’ll find links in header and footer menus, as well as within your personal account settings. It’s easy to set controls limiting the amount of time and money that you spend on the site, with options to take time out or even self-exclude for a period of time.
