Costa Bingo have trusted their bingo lobby on Dragonfish – a choice that hardly surprises us knowing the quality of their platform. If you’ve played at any site powered by this developer, you already know that besides the standard 90- and 75-ball bingo there is a variation of the American bingo called 5-line bingo that gives you 5 chances to win. The side games section, or Cashino as they call it at Costa includes games from various developers. There are more than 100 slots some of which are the X Factor by Electracade, Jack and the Beanstalk by Net Ent, the Price is Right by Next Gen Gaming, Rainbow Riches by Barcrest and many many more.

There are a couple of regular promos in some of the rooms that you should definitely check out. Starting with Sunny’s Gold Mine, Costa Bingo aims at securing a number of daily promotions that will keep you busy throughout the day. This one is hosted in two guaranteed jackpot rooms that will be open for 14 hours every day. The first one – Sunny’s 5p Goldmine – offers 75-ball games and a £50 guaranteed jackpot every two hours from 9am to 11pm. The second one – Sunny’s 10p Goldmine – increases the jackpot to £100 every two hours and hosts 90-ball games. If you do the math, you will realise Costa gives away £1,200 every day only in these two rooms.

Another regular promotion running weekly is The Mill Thrill, which can make you a diamond millionaire. Each week 3 million Sunny Diamonds (loyalty points) await their winners on Tuesday and Thursday evening. The game played on Tuesday has 1 million Diamonds prize pot and the one on Thursday has a 2 million Diamonds prize pot. Speaking of Diamonds, let us tell you about the VIP programme or the Diamond Club as it is called. There are 5 levels and you move up by depositing. The entry level is Blue, you will stay in it until you’ve deposited more than £50 and it gives you a 75% birthday bonus, 50% re-deposit bonus and special weekly bonuses. Let us just give you an idea of how much better these benefits become when you level up by presenting you the perks available when you reach the highest level – Platinum. Your bday bonus is 300% and you get to play 5 VIP bingo games with bigger jackpots.

10 Times More Generous Welcome Than Anywhere Else

This is one of the things we like most about Costa – they give you bonuses on your first 10 deposits. Name another bingo site that can boast such a bonus pack – I bet you can’t. And there’s also a free £5 on sign-up and a First Depositor Freebie that guarantees a £15 jackpot every hour. Keep reading for more details.

All players’ interactions with Costa Bingo are subject to certain terms and conditions. And because we know how boring it is to read the small print, we’ve prepared a simplified guide to introduce you with the basic wagering requirements in case you want to benefit either from the welcome bonus or another promotion.

Exclusive Mobile Promotion – Roam Free

The good news is Costa Bingo is fully mobile – the better news is there is a special promotion available only for mobile players. The free 90-ball games are hosted every day from 8am till 7pm and each game has a guaranteed jackpot of £25. There are 10 games on the hour so the daily prize fund is £250 and this is quite impressive. Keep in mind that the maximum number of cards you can purchase is 6 and that all winnings are in bonus cash. All iOS users can download the native app from the App Store and all Android users will have to use the mobile site. For a quick launch you can bookmark the page and send the bookmark to your home screen. There are more than 70 slots you can play on the go including Fluffy Favourites and the Temple of Isis. And let’s not forget that you will get the free fiver and the welcome bonus pack even on mobile.

Video Review – If You’d Rather Watch Than Read

If you are the kind of person who is not really keen on reading, we have an easy solution. Our video walk through the site will show you the registration process, the lobby and the bingo rooms the way you will see them when you sign up for an account.

Payment Options, Limits and Conditions

There are quite a few ways to pay at Costa. If you prefer to do things the old-fashioned way, there’s the option to deposit by Wire Transfer but remember that it will take significantly longer to process the payment – from 5 to 8 days. Debit cards, namely Visa, Master and Maestro are also accepted and the processing time is cut down. More innovative solutions include e-wallets like Neteller and vouchers like Paysafecard and Ukash. Whichever method you choose, don’t forget that before you request your first withdrawal you will have to deposit a minimum of £5, which is probably the lowest you will find. Also, you have to make at least one wager on bingo or instant games. The minimum withdrawal amount is £30, which honestly speaking, is a pretty high requirement if you want to be able to withdraw smaller amounts on a regular basis.

Company Information, Support and Security

Costa Bingo is one of the most popular sites in the Mandalay Media Group network. The same network is home to other popular bingo sites such as Sing, Fancy and Rio Bingo and they are all powered by Dragonfish. Mandalay Media Group managed a number of the best-liked UK bingo sites from 2009 till 2014 , when the company was bought by Intertain Group, who also have a long-standing reputation because of their poker and casino section.

The support is reachable by phone and email. The ‘contact us’ section in the site says there is also a live chat support but unfortunately they mean the chat hosts in the bingo rooms, nut a separate live chat. This is something we would like to see fixed. At present you can call the toll-free UK phone 24/7 or send an email. Depending on your query the email will be answered in between 2 and 5 days. Before you contact the support you can have a look at the FAQ section and the ‘How to play’ articles.

The site is accredited by eCOGRA, which stands for eCommerce and Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance. This organisation guarantees the fairness of the games, the responsibility and honesty of the operator and the security of the monetary deposits of the players.

Editor’s Rating – The Expert Opinion

Overall, we really enjoyed Costa Bingo. It was even before we deposited that we played a few games with the free fiver and entered a couple of freebies. Everything was looking just fine, the hosts were very outgoing and kind, the roomies were hospitable and we even managed to add £10 to our account. But we knew that it was the depositing process that can make us love or hate the site. Oh well, we loved it! We decided to use Ukash and our £10 deposit was in the account in no time. There was no messing around with the welcome bonus, so we got it right away as well. The only thing that we’d like to see improved is the contact options because live-chat support is not available.
