About

Bingo Loft isn’t where you store all the things you don’t use anymore; it’s a site that is jam-packed with great deals, impressive bingo games, and a portfolio of slots that keep you coming back time and time again! From the welcome bonus to an interesting selection of promotional deals, there is something for everyone, whatever your bingo budget.

Big Brother Bingo was the original name for Bingo Loft but when the tie in with the Big Brother TV show lost its ratings, Bingo Loft was born. The former launched on 12th January 2012 and it was October 2015 when the rebrand took place. Powered by the popular Dragonfish software, you are guaranteed a safe environment to enjoy bingo and slots.

It is definitely worth pulling down the ladder and climbing into the Bingo Loft space. Even if you don’t have a head for heights, this brand is certainly at the top of their game.

There is plenty of choice when it comes to both bingo and slots and you can get involved for free from the moment you register an account. Ticket prices for bingo start at as little as 1p and you can spin the reels of popular slot titles within budget too.

Welcome Offer

As soon as you register an account with Bingo Loft you are granted free access to the Newbies Room. This is available from the main lobby and boasts free bingo games. For three days you can access the room without a deposit and it is open for several hours a day.

All of the free games in this room are 75 ball and you can have a maximum of six tickets per game. With £300 in prizes throughout the day, it’s a room worth visiting.

Should you choose to make a deposit then your initial transaction of between £10 and £100 will be rewarded with a 200% match bonus. To claim the full £200 bonus, make a £100 first deposit.

Wagering Requirements

The wagering requirements on the welcome bonus from Bingo Loft look quite low when compared to the industry standard of 4x the bonus received.

However, what Bingo Loft requires is that you wager 2x the bonus AND the deposit made to secure the bonus. This equates to the 4x wagering of bonuses at other sites.

The bonus awarded will only be available for use for seven days after the deposit was made and needs to be claimed from the My Zone section of the site.

Only wagering on bingo games counts towards meeting the requirements laid out in the Terms and Conditions of the welcome bonus. 

Please make sure you visit the official website to qualify these details, offers and wagering are always subject to change at any time.

Promotions

The dedicated promotions page looks pretty impressive with a variety of different special offers to choose from. Some of the deals are time-limited and change regularly. This is a great way to maintain a player’s interest and keep them coming back to the site.

There are also the mainstay promotions from the brand; these are a great retention tool and below are just a couple of examples of the deals to be found at Bingo Loft after you’ve taken full advantage of the new player welcome offer:

Rockin’ Wheel – when you make a deposit with the site you get to spin the wheel to win loyalty points that can be traded in for prizes of your choice. The more you deposit, the more loyalty points you can win.

Free Spins Every Day – if you have deposited at least £20 in the past seven days then you will be entitled to 5 free spins every day on Fluffy Favourites.

As well as the advertised offers on the special promotions page, there are also several free bingo games available to depositing players, progressive jackpots, and guaranteed jackpot games on offer.

Bonus Codes

Bingo Loft bonus codes are not advertised but if you opt to receive any form of marketing material from the site, you may find yourself with one via SMS, post, or email.

When you deposit with this site, you have the chance to win loyalty points on the Rockin’ Wheel. A spin of this promotional wheel is offered on all deposits of at least £10.

Game Selection

When you enter the lobby of Bingo Loft you will find everything set out in an easy to follow horizontal navigational menu for bingo. All of the rooms are named and you will see details of any progressive jackpot available, the game type on offer, how many players are in the room, time until the next game, jackpot value, and if a host is on duty.

This site offers a number of different bingo game variants to its players. You can choose from the traditional 90 ball games, 75 ball as five-line or pattern bingo, and the Bingo Roulette variant that is 52 ball.

In any of the bingo rooms, you have the option to play slots as mini-games alongside your regular bingo game. The full selection of slots are not all available as mini-games; many will open in a new window.

When it comes to the choice of slots and instant wins, you are spoilt at Bingo Loft with many titles from well-known providers available. Eyecon, NetEnt, Red Tiger Gaming, Microgaming, and many more are on offer.

Additionally, there is usually a chat host on duty in at least one of the rooms and if your query is pretty basic, they may be able to assist.

The site also offers an FAQ section that answers a selection of frequently asked questions like ‘What is a wagering requirement?’.

Bingo Loft Sister Sites

Being part of the Dragonfish camp means that there are many, many sister sites of Bingo Loft. However, when it was first launched the site was owned by Daub, the company that launched Wink Bingo. This company were also responsible for several other sites, the original Bingo Loft sister sites:

This was once known as the Joy Of Bingo Network and when 888 took over management of it, 888Ladies joined.

Since then, Grand Battery Holdings has gone to operate the site along with many others on the same network including the likes of Costa Bingo. Although they are still operated by the same parent company, they behave slightly differently.

TV Adverts

As far as we are aware, Bingo Loft hasn’t ever advertised on television. However, Big Brother Bingo (the original name of the brand) did take to the small screen to promote their product.

It wasn’t the most interesting of commercials but it tied in the brand with the then-popular reality TV show. The advert was predictable, to say the least.

Review Summary

As a Dragonfish site with a packed promotional page and decent bonuses, it had to be a 4-star rating for Bingo Loft. We love the chance to play for free to get a feel for the bingo on offer and that the Newbies Room is open at hours that suit people who have kids and/or work during the day. This brand is one that won’t be put away in the attic but one worth visiting regularly.
