The Sun Bingo is the online bingo room brought to you by the people behind Britain’s best-selling newspaper, and runs on standalone software developed by Gamesys.
With a wide choice of bingo rooms and variants, and more slots and instant win games than you can shake a very big stick at, it’s not hard to see why it’s one of the most popular sites out there for bingo buffs and gaming gurus alike!
Web Site
The Sun Bingo’s website packs a lot of games into a very compact site. The design is bright and cheery, adopting the ‘red-top’’s signature red as its main theme.
It is generally easy to navigate between all of the different games; the only slight criticism you could level at it is that having multiple chat rooms per bingo room can be a bit confusing and unnecessary outside of peak hours.
Still, the tab system for switching between the different game variants is effective, and the instant win games and slots in particular are attractively presented
Sign Up Bonuses
The Sun Bingo offers a straightforward and instant 100% first deposit match from £10 up to £100. The form which you use when making make your first deposit is well-designed and makes it absolutely clear what your playing balance will be.
Whilst other sites might offer bigger percentage matches, the £100 upper limit is decent and the variety of games is such that you’re likely to get plenty of entertainment for your money if you do decide to deposit more than the minimum.
There is a wagering requirement of 1x the bonus you are claiming if you play bingo or 20x on slots. So, if you deposit £10, you will receive a £10 bonus, and be required to wager £10 on bingo or £200 on slots before withdrawing.
In addition, The Sun Bingo offers a very generous refer-a-friend scheme whereby they’ll give both you and the friend you’re referring a free £10, plus for the month of September you’ll be entered in a prize draw to win a Fiat 500 car!

Promotions
The Sun Bingo offers a reasonable range of promotions, mostly revolving around big cash giveaways and prize draws. For example, in their Daily Dosh promotion which is running at the time of writing, everyone who plays just £2 on bingo or £10 on slots on any day during the month will be entered into a daily prize draw to become one of 5 winners of £100, plus a grand finale draw at the beginning of next month to win various amounts with a top prize of £5000! Although nothing new, this is a great way to give something back to a large number of players and for one or two to win a big jackpot!
Although there aren’t many smaller promotions, this is to some extent compensated for by the breadth of innovative chat games in the bingo rooms with lots of spot-prizes to be won.
Bingo Games
The Sun Bingo runs on software developed specially for them by Gamesys. It offers all 90, 75-ball and 80-ball variants in its own standalone rooms which run very smoothly.
The bingo games themselves are clearly presented and easy to follow, and the CMs are extremely friendly. Another great feature is a tab called ‘Quickies’ which allows players to get involved in interactive games; for example, the CM or another player has to draw something in a box and the first player to guess what it is gets to go next and is awarded a spot prize by the CM. When I won one of these, in congratulating me the CM also noticed that I was new to the site and welcomed me which was a nice touch.

Other Games
The Sun Bingo also offers an impressive array of games besides bingo, from the usual suspects like slots (including Deal or No Deal, X Factor and their very own Mystic Meg) to more unusual side-games like Whack-a-Moley in which you have to hit moles on screen with a mallet and match cash sums in order to win! There is also Snap!, which works in a similar way to bingo except instead of matching balls on your card you have to match cards in your hand!
Most of the games which I tried were innovative and entertaining, although I did notice a slight glitch with a couple of them which meant that you could still hear the sound effects from them after you exited to the lobby.
Minor quibbles aside, The Sun Bingo offers an exciting assortment of games to keep most players entertained for hours!
