Account Registration

The advantage of creating an account with Betfair Bingo is that it gives you access to all Betfair services. The disadvantage is that you have to add funds before registration is completed. No big deal if you intend to start gambling with them anyway, but be wary. Betfair restricts a lot of it’s features until you log in with a verified account, so don’t spend too much money if you’re only having a look around. To register, just click the ‘join now’ button in the top right hand corner of the home page. For responsible gambling purposes, you can set a gambling frequency limit and a deposit limit. Once you’ve done that, and filled in your personal & security information, you’ll be ready to take advantage of the available promotions!

 

Bonuses and Promotions

Compared to other bingo providers, Betfair Bingo doesn’t give you a massive welcome bonus. However, it’s still worth claiming. When you stake your first €5 on a bingo game, you’ll receive a new customer bonus of €40. The first bonus after that you’re prompted to claim is the bonus on the fruity burst slot game. You’ll get a €5 bonus when you stake €10. Once you’re finished that, head over to the promotions tab to claim the rest of the goodies! There, you’ll find the private party VIP lounge. With this, if you wager €25 between Monday and Thursday, you’ll get access to the VIP room from 7pm on Friday. Prizes from the room are paid is bingo bonuses at X 1 wagering. On top of that, you can stake €5 to gain access to a private chat room on Sunday nights. Prizes from this are paid as bingo bonuses also.

It’s worth keeping an eye on the promotions, as new offers are regularly being added for new and existing customers.
