BetFred is a famous name in the world of gaming, and BetFred Bingo brings the BetFred experience to the online bingo player in great style. The home page, although featuring a rather bizarre looking cartoon woman, is bright and colourful and sets exactly the kind of fun tone we would expect from the BetFred team.

Getting started here involves three simple steps. Download the software (this takes a couple of minutes), register your details to open an account and then read the rules. Some people will be tempted to skip the last step and move straight into playing the games, but an investment of a few more minutes reading the online rules will help you to understand how you can get the most from your BetFred Bingo experience.

In terms of presentation, BetFred Bingo is absolutely superb. The balls are animated, and look so smooth and glossy you’ll swear you’re looking at the real thing through a window. A numbers board appears on the left of the screen under the ball machine, your bingo cards are positioned in the middle of the view and game information is located on the right. Audio is equally impressive, with a very clear and enthusiastic caller making BetFred Bingo a real virtual bingo experience. Our only minor niggle is the fact that chat takes place in a separate window, but this can be positioned wherever you like on the screen, so it really is just a minor point.

The game on offer here is traditional 90 ball bingo as played in the UK, although a friendly Chat Moderator has told us that BetFred is hoping to offer 75 ball bingo in addition at some point in the future. Tickets cost from 5p and are sold in cards of six, so the minimum outlay to play a game here is 30p. As well as regular prizes for the line, two lines and full house, progressive jackpots pay sometimes huge windfalls to lucky players who win within a certain number of balls being called.

Add a swathe of non-bingo games (keno, roulette, slots, video poker, etc.), chat games, some impressive promotions and competitions and BetFred Bingo becomes a must-visit site you can’t afford to ignore. Try it once and you’ll be hooked!
