Promotions
If we’re honest, there’s not much by way of promotions at this site. You can’t view any without having an account and logging in. Then when you are in the lobby, there’s a dedicated section on the menu.
When we compiled this review of Bingo Besties, there were just two promotions available; the welcome deal for new players and then a daily deal. The latter was time-limited to the day of the review but we suspect that this is very similar daily. As an example during our visit, they were offering bingo tickets for the next Big Bang game as an incentive to deposit. The higher the value of your deposit, the more you got by way of a bonus.
We’re a little disappointed in this area of the site and would like to see more. We can’t even attribute the lack of promotional offers to the site’s infancy because it had been around for over two years at the time of the review! Of course, there are the usual suspects like Free Bingo and a selection of jackpots, but nothing that made the site stand out from the crowd.
Games Selection
Whilst this brand may be lacking when it comes to promotional offers, they have quite the choice of games. Alongside the traditional 75 and 90 ball games. There’s Hit 52, which is a card-based game that was launched on Dragonfish sites in 2016. Bingo Roulette is another number based game that’s available, a game that was launched in 2019.
Alongside the bingo-style games, there’s also an impressive portfolio of slots and scratchcards. You’ll find popular titles like Fluffy Favourites from Eyecon amongst Microgaming and NetEnt games to name but a few.
Contact Support
Support is available in several different ways and you can access them from your account, following the Useful Links option from the main menu. You can contact support using the following methods:

Likewise, although the sites below are not sister sites, these similar sites operate using the exact same Dragonfish gaming software:
TV Ads
As yet we have not seen a TV commercial for Bingo Besties. That’s not to say they won’t opt for this source of marketing in the future. We’d certainly be keen to see the storyboard for the advert! The theme tune, although likely to be quite expensive, should be from the popular American sitcom Friends!
Review Summary
Summary
Whilst it may be called Bingo Besties, we just weren’t feeling it and as such, have awarded this site just a 4 on our star rating. The lack of unique promotional offers disappointed us and whilst the site offers free bingo and big money prizes, it does little to stand out from the crowd. It’s one of those friends that you smile and wave at as you go past!
