About Fabulous Bingo
Fabulous Bingo launched in 2011, and since 2016, has operated on the Virtue Fusion software platform, a subsidiary of Playtech, through a UK Gambling Commission license.
Though bingo is clearly the main focus here, Fabulous Bingo also offers a selection of online slots and instant win games.

Site Design
A sister site to Sun Bingo, this platform was originally themed around fashion, but received a design update in 2022, leading to a more neutral presentation.
The homepage is straightforward, with no animation or excessive clutter, and large navigation tabs leading directly to bingo rooms, slots, promotions, and other account services. The clarity of having content neatly compartmentalised is welcome, but some users may find it a little dated, compared to some of slicker, app-style interfaces around.
The bingo lobby is a little slow to load, and its nothing special to look at, but it provides plenty of useful information on the number of players, jackpot size, ticket prices and so on for each of the rooms. The slot section is less user-friendly, as there are none of the advanced filter options such as game provider, RTP or volatility that we’d ideally like to see.
Bonuses and Promotions
In addition to the fabulous exclusive match bingo bonus welcome offer that we have, Fabulous Bingo runs a rotation of time-limited promotions throughout the week, and when we checked out the site, there were twenty promotional offers available, ranging from free bingo games during set periods to cash prizes, reload bonuses and free scratch cards.
Slots and table game fans may be disappointed by the limited range of promotions aimed at them, but there are plenty of sites that provide slots bonuses and very few geared to bingo players. A more legitimate complaint would be the lack of a loyalty or VIP scheme at Fabulous Bingo, which we feel is a significant omission.
Wagering Requirements
There are two main playthrough requirements at Fabulous Bingo, and both are low by modern standards. Winnings from free spins face a x20 wagering requirement, which compares well with most rival sites, while the bingo bonus playthrough figure is x4 for most promotions.
The downside with some of the promotions, most notably the welcome bonus, is the low cap on maximum winnings, and the tight timescales. Players claiming the welcome bonus cannot win more than a certain amount and the playthrough requirement has to be completed within seven days.
We would also like to see a little more clarity on the terms and conditions with these offers. Although there are some details on the promotion panels, you have to click on the offer itself and scroll down to the tiny print to find the full information.
Games Highlights
As the name suggests, bingo is at the heart of the Fabulous Bingo experience. The site offers a wide range of bingo rooms, including traditional 90-ball and 75-ball formats, as well as 80-ball bingo and branded variants including Fluffy Favourites Bingo and Deal or No Deal Bingo. The rooms are busy throughout the day, and the chat feature is well-moderated.
Outside the bingo lobby, Fabulous Bingo includes a selection of over 300 slot games. These are mostly from Playtech and Blueprint, with a few other providers included. Popular titles like Big Bass Bonanza, Eye of Horus, and Buffalo Blitz are all available, though the library lacks some of the variety found on more game-heavy platforms. There are a few Megaways titles, but not the full catalogue, and major progressive jackpots like Mega Moolah are notably absent.
There is also a modest selection of scratchcards and instant win games, which offer quick, low-stakes diversions. However, there are no traditional table games or live casino options. Players seeking roulette, blackjack, or poker will need to look elsewhere, as Fabulous Bingo is entirely focused on the bingo and slots crossover niche.
Fabulous Bingo Mobile
Fabulous Bingo does not have a dedicated mobile app, but the mobile browser version of the site is well-optimised, and the clear design translates well to the small screen. Pages load quickly on new devices, although older mobiles and laptops may experience some slow down.
Navigation on mobile is intuitive, with menus condensed into expandable panels, while the bingo rooms open in full-screen mode, and offer full access to all of the chat features. Players who prefer a native app for speed or ease of use, may be disappointed but for most players, the browser version delivers an effective mobile experience.
Deposits & Withdrawals
Banking at Fabulous Bingo is straightforward but limited. The site accepts the usual debit card payments and bank transfers, along with PayPal, Skrill and Paysafecard, but that’s about it. To claim the welcome offer, it’s debit card deposits only.
Deposits are processed instantly, while withdrawals are processed within 48 hours, and there are no hidden fees, although we had to search through the General Terms and Conditions to find the full details. There’s a welcome wide range of minimum and maximum payments, from the £5 minimum deposit to the £50,000 maximum withdrawal, so the site caters for both small stakes players and those with bigger bankrolls.
Trust, Support & Security
Fabulous Bingo is licensed by the UK Gambling Commission, so is required to follow some of the strictest regulations in the world, including on the protection of player data and responsible gambling.
The customer support service is less impressive than we would like.
Final Thoughts
While there is some room for improvement here, particularly on customer support and the absence of a loyalty program, Fabulous Bingo is a solid platform for UK players who are looking for an easy-to-use bingo site with some slot game variety. It has a clean design, a good range of bingo games and promotions and offers the reassurance of a long-established brand.
