Mecca Bingo Sister Sites 2024

Mecca Games

Mecca Bingo is the most famous and successful bingo brand in the UK. None of the Mecca Bingo sister sites can hope to live up to Mecca Bingo itself when it comes to public profile, but Mecca Games stands a fighting chance because it shares the same branding. That’s the good news. The bad news is that it’s hard to work out what the point of Mecca Games is. It made sense for Mecca Games to exist when Mecca Bingo was “just” a bingo site because the idea was Mecca Games would do all the things that Mecca Bingo didn’t. Now that Mecca Bingo has online slots and other entertainment options of its own, it isn’t clear why anyone should visit Mecca Games just to play slots they could easily find at the parent brand.

Mecca Games could be useful as an information site. If you wanted to know what the ten most popular online slots in the UK are, for example, you could find that information here. For everything else, you might as well stick to Mecca Bingo. Mecca Games has a welcome offer of £40 and fifty free spins in return for a £10 deposit, with an x30 wagering requirement. It also offers a weekly spin of the “Mecca Wheel” for anyone who bets £25 or more in a single week. Both promotions are also available at Mecca Bingo, though, and so the case for this Mecca Bingo sister site’s continuing existence isn’t a compelling one.

Bella Casino

Bella Casino is not just any old Mecca Bingo sister site. Like Mecca Bingo itself, this is a betting brand that comes with big-name backing. Bella Casino is the official casino site of Bella Magazine, which is a lifestyle magazine aimed at female readers. It’s also a refreshing break from the norm in terms of iGaming sites aimed at women. The majority of such sites lead with bingo based on an outdated idea that women aren’t interested in slots, but Bella Casino is a slots-first site. It’s also one of the best-looking sites in the Mecca Bingo sister sites range, which makes it all the more appealing.

The Bella Casino welcome offer adds to the lure of the site, with a 100% matched deposit on all deposits between £10 and £50, along with twenty free spins on one of the site’s leading online slots. The wagering requirement attached to the bonus fund is x30, which is a smidge below the UK average and, therefore, a pleasant thing to see. Classic slots from years gone by appear to be the most popular attractions at Bella Casino – hence there being an area of the homepage dedicated to the Rainbow Riches range – but there are also live casino options at the bottom of the homepage if you care to scroll down far enough to find them.

Grosvenor Casino

The big-name casinos keep coming as we tour the Mecca Bingo sister sites family. Next up, we have Grosvenor Casino, which is the online presence of the brick-and-mortar Grosvenor Casino franchise. There’s a Grosvenor Casino or two in most of the UK’s biggest cities, plus a few more in large towns. The brand name alone is an attraction to some players; if you’ve had a good time in a “real” Grosvenor Casino, you’re likely to be inclined to visit the same brand online in the hope of experiencing more of the same.

Being the official online presence of a real-world casino brand comes with advantages and disadvantages. The biggest advantage at Grosvenor Casino is that some of the live dealer games at this site come directly from real Grosvenor Casino premises. The biggest downside is that the overall range of games is quite limited. You’re more likely to enjoy your time at this Mecca Bingo sister site if you’re a fan of live dealer games than you are of slots. That’s OK, though – if you’re looking for something with more online slots to offer, keep reading, and we’ll get to some great options.

The Vic

Not all branches of Grosvenor Casino are equal. One is vastly superior to all of the others. We’re talking about the Grosvenor Victoria Casino in London, which is affectionately known to thousands of players as The Vic. This is the official website of that high-prestige casino, continuing the theme of Mecca Bingo sister sites all being big deals in their own right. However, being the official online presence of a high prestige is not a guarantee of being a great online casino. Once you get past the glamour of The Vic’s website, you’ll quickly realise that it works better as an advert for the real casino than it does as an online casino on its own merits.

It wouldn’t be fair of us to say that you can’t play online at The Vic – you can. It’s just that you have a choice of only nine online slots to choose from, two of which are versions of Fishin’ Frenzy. Things are a little better within the site’s live casino, with a range of top-quality games broadcast live from real tables at The Vic. If you’re happy with the slim pickings available at this casino site, you can claim up to £400 in bonus funds by maxing out three matched deposit offers as a new player, but the funds come with an x40 wagering requirement. It might be better to think of The Vic’s website as a taster for playing there for real.

Kitty Bingo

We’re done with the higher-profile Mecca Bingo sister sites now, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing worth playing further down the list. Kitty Bingo is the perfect example of what we mean by that. If you’re bored of Mecca Bingo and you’re looking for something similar but a little different, Kitty Bingo is the perfect place to look. It’s a whole casino website brought to you by adorable kittens, and let’s be honest – who doesn’t love adorable kittens? Some of them look a little scratch-happy, but they can’t reach you through your screen.

Kitty Bingo makes an odd stylistic choice by leading with online slots on its homepage despite being called Kitty Bingo, but finding the site’s bingo rooms is a simple matter of selecting the relevant option from the menu bar at the top of the site. All of your favourites like “Deal or No Deal Bingo” are here, but so are site exclusives like Main Event Bingo. Prices for a ticket start as low as 1p, and jackpots can run into the thousands. Play for long enough, and you’ll accrue enough loyalty points to spend on rewards in the Kitty Bingo store.

Lucky Pants Bingo

Lucky Pants is another great bingo site in the Mecca Bingo sister sites family, but it hasn’t been a sibling to Mecca Bingo for very long. A recent merger between Daub Alderney and Rank Digital Gaming Alderney created a new casino network company – Rank Interactive (Gibraltar) Limited, and so Mecca Bingo shares network space with several more bingo sites than it used to. Lucky Pants Bingo is one of them and was a high-profile bingo site even before it arrived on its new network.

A site called “Lucky Pants Bingo” clearly doesn’t intend to be taken seriously, so the idea at this site is that it’s a place where you should play with a smile on your face (and, ideally, your lucky pants on). There isn’t much to choose between Lucky Pants Bingo and Kitty Bingo, so choosing which to play between the two is as simple as choosing your favourite thing between kittens and pants. We bet you didn’t expect to read that sentence today. Making a first deposit of £10 with Lucky Pants Bingo gets players £30 in bonus funds split between the casino and bingo games. Where bonuses are used in bingo, they come with an x4 wagering requirement. When they’re used with slots, the wagering requirement is a reasonable x25.

Regal Wins

Regal Wins was one of the flagship casinos of Daub Alderney back when the casino network company still existed. It stands no chance of becoming the flagship of the Mecca Bingo sister sites because Mecca Bingo can’t be shifted from that position, so it will be interesting to see how the site copes in its new environment. It’s a long way from being the prettiest casino in the range, with a dull black-and-grey layout and a distinct lack of originality. Even the welcome offer at Regal Wins isn’t as generous as it appears to be at first sight. Up to £500 as a 100% matched deposit sounds like a fantastic offer until you see that it comes with a massive x50 wagering requirement and a maximum conversion rate of x5. That’s a lot of work to get the bonus into a withdrawable state, at which point you’ll lose most of it anyway.

Regal Wins isn’t going to win many fans through its appearance or its biggest promotion, so what else does it have going for it? Sadly, not a lot. Several of these old Daub Alderney casinos have had a redesign since arriving on the Rank Interactive (Gibraltar) Limited platform, which has left them with similar styles and similar portfolios of games. This new version of Regal Wins is just Lucky Pants Bingo without the bingo and so comes off as second-rate by comparison.

Magical Vegas

If you highlight Magical Vegas in the taskbar after loading the casino’s homepage on a desktop computer, you’ll see the motto “presenting you one of the best online casino.” Unfortunately, that slapdash approach to grammar is typical of the standard of presentation across the entire Magical Vegas casino website. This is another one of the Mecca Bingo sister sites that have suffered a little while being transplanted from its former home to Rank Interactive (Gibraltar) Limited. If there was anything magical about this site in the past, it’s sadly no longer there.

The only difference between Magical Vegas and Regal Wins is its theme and a reduction in the size of the welcome offer available at Magical Vegas. It’s a max of £300 as a matched deposit against a first deposit for new players, but the same high wagering requirement of x50 still applies, and so the promotion still isn’t appetising. Magical Vegas is very keen for players to know that it’s paid out more than £200m in prizes in the past, but we suspect that the past was a lot brighter than the future is for this casino. Far better options exist among the Mecca Bingo sister sites.

Lucky VIP

When we get this far down the list, all of the Mecca Bingo sister sites start to look the same. The first five Mecca Bingo sister sites are power brands, but the last few are imports from Daub Alderney Limited, and while they might have been good casinos in the past, they’re shadows of their former selves. Lucky VIP is another case in point. There’s nothing VIP about Lucky VIP casino other than its loyalty reward scheme, although we tip our hat to the site for pledging to get withdrawals to players within ten minutes in most cases.

The problem with casinos that look as basic as Lucky VIP is that the quality of its promotions is almost irrelevant – a lot of players won’t stick around for long enough to check them out. Even if they do, they’ll likely find that the wagering requirements attached to them are unacceptably high. Lucky VIP has yet another variation of the welcome offer from Regal Wins, this time with a maximum deposit match of £555. The online slots are identical at all of the last three Mecca Bingo sister sites we looked at – as is the lack of originality and the stale atmosphere.

Spin and Win

If you’ve been paying attention to the last few entries on this list of Spin and Win sister sites, you probably already know what to expect from Spin and Win. It’s another former Daub Alderney casino site, and it’s been subjected to the same basic template-based remodel as its former sister sites. All of them were undoubtedly better off as sister sites of each other than they are as Mecca Bingo sister sites. Spin and Win looks a little more inviting than some of the other casinos in the range because it has higher-quality banner graphics, but there’s another small but important difference to note here.

From Regal Wins down, all of the past few Mecca Bingo sister sites we’ve listed come with x40 wagering requirements on their welcome offers. Spin and Win still offers a 100% first deposit match up to £500, just like Regal Wins does, but only imposes an x40 wagering requirement. That’s still above the UK average, but it’s better than most of the casinos in the back half of the Spin and Win sister sites range can muster.

Mecca Bingo News

24th October 2024: This week, Proactive Investors shared that the operator behind the Mecca Bingo sister sites is delighted after seeing double-digit revenue growth, which has fuelled optimism for the financial year ahead. Rank Group PLC, which oversees both Grosvenor casinos and Mecca Bingo, has reported a 12% rise in net gaming revenue for the first quarter, reaching £197.5 million. This increase has been driven by particularly strong growth in the digital sector, which surged by 15%, while physical venues saw a 10% rise. Rank’s chief executive, John O’Reilly, expressed satisfaction with the momentum generated over the past year and a half, noting that this positive trend has continued into the new financial year. He highlighted the encouraging performance across all business units, particularly in Grosvenor’s venues and the UK digital business, where customer satisfaction appears to be linked to the improvements in both the land-based and online offerings.

Despite some uncertainty in the wider economic environment, Rank remains confident that their operating profit for the full year will be in line with expectations. Investors have responded positively to this news, with shares in Rank Group gaining 2% when markets opened on Thursday. This uptick further reflects the market’s growing confidence in Rank’s ongoing strategy, as it continues to prioritise improving the customer experience across both its physical and digital platforms, maintaining its strong position within the UK gaming sector. So, chances are, if you head down to your local Mecca Bingo hall, you will find a thriving community of bingo lovers in spite of the ongoing cost-of-living crisis.

24th September 2024: Bingo halls have a knack for drawing attention in unexpected ways, often becoming more than just a venue for gaming but a hub of community spirit. This week, The Evening News reported on how a man saved a distressed swan near one of the Mecca Bingo halls in Norwich. The incident unfolded on Aylsham Road, where a concerned local noticed the struggling bird and took immediate action to ensure its safety. The swan, which appeared to be in some distress in the middle of the road, was carefully guided to a safer spot away from the traffic by the ‘Good Samaritan’. The gentleman’s swift response not only protected the swan from potential harm but also avoided any disruptions to the busy road. Witnesses described how, with patience and calmness, the man managed to coax the bird towards a safer area, preventing any possible incidents on the road.

This act of kindness didn’t go unnoticed by the nearby bingo players, who watched the rescue with a mix of admiration and relief. It’s not every day that you hear of a bingo hall being linked to such a story, but it just goes to show that these venues, often seen as simple recreational spaces, can sometimes become the backdrop for unexpected acts of goodwill. The local Mecca Bingo staff and patrons were reportedly delighted by the outcome, appreciating the individual’s quick thinking and compassion. The incident has sparked a lot of positive chatter within the community, with many commending the man’s actions and highlighting how even the most ordinary places can become scenes for extraordinary deeds.

20th August 2024: After a tough few financial years, things are finally looking up for Mecca Bingo as its owner, Rank Group, has returned to profitability. The company, which also owns Grosvenor Casinos, reported a pre-tax profit of £15.5 million for the year ending in June, a significant turnaround from the previous year’s substantial loss of £123 million. This recovery was driven by a 9% increase in net gaming revenues, reaching £734 million, and was bolstered by a rise in visitor numbers—9% more at Grosvenor casinos and a 2% increase at Mecca bingo halls. A key factor in this resurgence has been Rank Group’s focus on attracting a younger demographic, particularly under-35s, who now make up 44% of the 187,000 new customers at Mecca Bingo over the past year.

The company has successfully drawn in this younger crowd by hosting energetic club nights featuring DJs, comedians, and magicians, alongside the traditional bingo games. These events, typically held on Fridays and Saturdays, offer a lively and affordable night out, which is increasingly appealing during the cost-of-living crisis. Rank Group’s chief executive, John O’Reilly, noted that these high-energy, experiential events are just as important as the more conventional bingo sessions, and have helped to shift the perception of bingo as an activity for older patrons. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, which led to a reduction in the number of Mecca Bingo venues from 82 to 52, the company has managed to adapt and thrive. The group’s city-centre Grosvenor casinos, particularly those in London that attract tourists, have also seen strong performance, although their higher-end venues have struggled somewhat since Brexit.

24th July 2024: Hartlepool Mail was just one of the online newspapers which covered the good news story of how one lucky member of Mecca Bingo in Hartlepool won a £50k jackpot. The win occurred at Mecca Bingo in Warrior Retail Park, where the atmosphere was electrifying as a regular player claimed the £50,000 jackpot. This event took place during the National Bingo Game’s special Super Share Saturday, a unique game in which the person who achieves a full house with the fewest calls nationwide wins a jackpot for themselves and an additional £50,000 prize to be shared among all players present in the club. The fortunate winner, who chose to stay anonymous, successfully matched all numbers on their ticket in just 19 calls, triggering a wave of celebration among the other participants.

The epic win occurred on Saturday, 6th July, bringing a sense of community and excitement to everyone present at the bingo hall. Players were thrilled to share in the substantial prize, and to congratulate the lucky jackpot winner. The hall was abuzz with cheers and applause, as fellow bingo players joined in the celebration of the significant win. Mecca Bingo’s management expressed their delight over the win, highlighting the unique opportunity provided by the National Bingo Game to bring such joy and excitement to their patrons. This win reinforced the strong sense of community that bingo fosters, which is scarcely seen in the online domain. The event serves as a reminder of the thrill and anticipation that comes with each game, as well as the potential for incredible wins.

27th June 2024: Mecca Bingo was mentioned when The Canary decided to explore if Gala Bingo still rules the bingo roost in the UK. Bingo has evolved significantly in the UK, transitioning from local halls to a thriving online community. This shift has introduced players to a variety of game formats, impressive jackpots, and a vibrant social aspect. Gala Bingo, a stalwart in the industry since the 1990s, continues to be a favourite. Its extensive range of games, including 90-ball, 80-ball, and 75-ball bingo, along with themed rooms inspired by popular TV shows like Coronation Street and The Chase, keeps it relevant and engaging. The Canary digressed that another prominent name on the UK scene is Mecca Bingo, which has successfully transitioned from its traditional bingo halls to a strong online presence.

Mecca offers a variety of game formats, including unique ones like Cashline and Roll On bingo. Its user-friendly interface, diverse bingo rooms, and flexible ticket pricing make it accessible to a wide audience. Mecca’s loyalty programme, which rewards players with points redeemable for bonuses, adds to its appeal. Frequent promotions, such as free bingo and special jackpot games, keep the excitement alive for regular players. Buzz Bingo, a newer entrant, has quickly made a name for itself with a modern interface and a no-wagering requirement policy on bonuses. This allows online players to withdraw their winnings without fulfilling stringent playthrough requirements. Buzz Bingo offers traditional 90-ball and 75-ball games, along with innovative formats like Flash Fives. The site fosters a strong community feel through active chat rooms and social media engagement, making it a hit among younger players.

28th May 2024: For some reason, it was big news when a Mecca Bingo Hall in Taunton received a five-star food hygiene rating, judging by the fanfare made by the Somerset County Gazette, which digressed a few menu options and published a few statements on why Mecca provides such a good night out. This top-tier rating highlights not only the quality of the games but also the excellent food offerings at the venue. Taunton’s Mecca Bingo was described as a fantastic destination for an enjoyable night out, and it is not just about the bingo. Their menu boasts a variety of dishes, ensuring that there is something to suit everyone’s tastes. Players can indulge in favourites such as fish and chips, chicken tikka curry, burgers, and even Harry Ramsden’s classic dishes. For those looking for a quick bite, the loaded fries are a perfect option to snack on while enjoying a game of bingo.

One of the conveniences offered at Mecca Bingo is the ability to order food and drinks directly from your seat using the My Mecca App. This means that your game of bingo never has to be interrupted, providing a seamless experience from start to finish. According to Andrew Richbell, general manager of Mecca in Taunton, bingo at Mecca is not only great entertainment but also an affordable night out, typically costing around £20 to £25 per person, including food. He also mentions that Saturday nights are particularly welcoming for new members, offering a relaxed atmosphere and significant winnings. On Saturdays, players have 15 chances to win £100, while Sundays feature a grand prize of £1,000.

30th April 2024: This week, the website Boutique Hotelier announced exciting developments for a prominent Southport landmark. A former Mecca Bingo hall, closed since 2021, is set to be transformed into a luxurious hotel and theatre, blending historical preservation with modern amenities. This project marks a significant shift in the usage of iconic buildings on British high streets, moving from traditional entertainment venues like bingo halls to more diverse and upscaled functions. Located in the heart of Southport, the Grade II-listed Garrick building, renowned for its distinctive Art Deco architecture, will undergo extensive renovations. The redevelopment plans, approved by Sefton Council, outline a vision for a 109-bed hotel that incorporates a mix of residential, leisure, and retail spaces. This includes 12 upscale apartments, a theatre area designed to host performances, a swimming pool, a gym, retail units, and a dining establishment complete with a bar and restaurant.

This initiative aims to revitalise a building that has not only been a significant cultural hotspot—having hosted legends such as Julie Andrews and Laurel and Hardy—but also a social gathering point in its days as a bingo hall. The transformation reflects a broader trend across the UK, where historical buildings on high streets are being repurposed to align with contemporary urban lifestyles and economic conditions. The renovation will carefully preserve the building’s original features, such as the auditorium while introducing modern elements that meet current demands. The theatre space at the heart of the project emphasises a commitment to maintaining the building’s entertainment heritage, ensuring it remains a cultural hub within the community.

Mecca Bingo Review 2024

Mecca Bingo Welcome Offers

Luck is a big factor in how generous the new player welcome offer is at Mecca Bingo. All new customers depositing £10 or more will be invited to spin the prize wheel, which comes with a top prize of £120 in bonus cash. Of course, not every new player will get that lucky, but thankfully, there are plenty of smaller prizes that are also up for grabs, such as £30 in bonus cash or 20 free spins on a selected online slot game. To activate the prize wheel, new players will need to deposit and stake a minimum of £10 in any of the available bingo rooms within 7 days of registering with Mecca Bingo. The outcome from the prize wheel is determined completely at random, and wagering restrictions apply to some of the prizes; excluding free cash promotions and free spins.

Mecca Bingo is owned by Rank Interactive Gibraltar Ltd

As Mecca Bingo is about as British as fish and chips, some players are surprised to learn that the bingo brand operator, Rank Interactive Gibraltar Ltd is located offshore. Another great British brand that Rank Interactive has a duty of care over is Grosvenor Casinos; making them one of the biggest casino brand operators in the game. After significant expansion between 2020 and 2022, Rank Interactive has set itself the goal of reeling in a minimum of £1 billion in revenue in 2023; and they are well on their way; despite the phenomenally generous promotional offers extended to players’ new and old alike.

In addition to their digital iterations of beloved British gambling franchises, Rank has also launched a number of their own original brands, which currently gives Mecca Bingo 16 sister sites. Some of the most popular sister sites in the network of spectator sport, bingo and online casino products include The Vic, Regal Wins, Lucky Pants Bingo, Kitty Bingo, and Bella Casino.

Other Promotions at Mecca Bingo

Mecca Bingo always likes to mix up their monthly bonuses, especially around the changes of the seasons, but to give you an idea of the kind of generosity that you can expect, there are currently nine promotions. For bingo players, there are massive bingo jackpots to compete for as a part of the regular bingo schedule. Over £3 million has been won so far in the Premiere Jackpot promotions, and the top prize comes in at an astonishing £70k. Every day, members of Mecca Bingo can spin the prize wheel, or play free bingo games every weekday, but even the paid-for bingo games don’t have to cost the earth. The Penny Lane bingo is available to play for, you guessed it, 1p a ticket. Considering that there are daily prizes of up to £10k, that is exceptional value for money.

Online slots don’t get forgotten about when it comes to the progressive jackpot prizes either. There are local jackpots, Jackpot King progressive jackpots, network jackpots, daily jackpots and must-go jackpots.

Mecca Bingo: Pros and Cons

Pros:

• Free daily games.

• 26 bingo rooms.

Cons:

• The customer support could be faster at peak times.

• The welcome bonus wheel isn’t always overly generous.

Featured Slots and Casino Games

Playtech brought some of their best bingo content to Mecca Bingo. Day or night, there are never all too many lulls in the bingo schedule, which mainly caters to fans of 90 Ball and 75 Ball bingo. Some of the most popular rooms amongst players include Main Event Bingo, Bingo Gold, Playlist Bingo, Britain’s Got Talent Bingo, Emoji Bingo and Best Odds Bingo.

The hundreds of online slot games cater to a wide slot spinning audience, while all of the classics are present and correct, they don’t overshadow the new and infinitely more exciting titles in the curation of featured games. Some of the hot new additions to the slot library at Mecca Bingo include Snakes & Ladders Megadice, Apollo Pays, Rainbow Riches Pots of Gold, Slingo X Scream Cash Connection Book of Ra, Chicken Fox 5x Skill Star, and Reel Spooky King Megaways. If slots aren’t your thing, there is also a great collection of instant win games, arcade games and Slingo titles. Seemingly, Mecca Bingo dedicated their entire Casino tab to online slot games from Playtech. So, if you were expecting to find plenty of live casino games here, you may end up slightly disappointed! But if you are just as fanatical as Playtech titles, you’ll find all of the best ones tucked away here, including Age of the Gods: Gods of Storms 2, Age of the Gods: Epic Troy, Blue Wizard, Anaconda Wild and Bounty of the Beanstalk.

Deposit and Withdrawal Methods

The banking options at Mecca Bingo are fairly limited. You will either need to make a deposit via debit card, Pay Safe Card or PayPal. For the first two options, the minimum deposit amount is £5, for PayPal, it is £10. The minimum withdrawal to PayPal accounts and debit cards is also set to £10, and all PayPal transactions happen instantly.

Mecca Bingo Customer Support and License

The customer support team at Mecca Bingo is available seven days a week between the hours of 7 AM and 10:15 PM. The best way to contact the team is via live chat, however email support is also available for players not in a rush for a response. For UK players, Mecca Bingo is licenced by the UKGC under Rank Interactive Gibraltar Ltd’s licence, 57924. The same licence covers all of the Mecca Bingo sister sites.

Mecca Bingo – Final Thoughts

For an online bingo site of Mecca Bingo’s standing, it is fairly baffling that they have such a limited number of banking partners and options. If the lack of banking flexibility isn’t an issue, there are very few red flags waved by this casino. The customer support may not be the fastest, but for the most part, it is completely satisfactory, and, of course, there is little room for disappointment within the array of promotional offers that are available to regularly depositing members. The only slight room for bonus improvement is with the welcome offer, which isn’t always great value for money.

Even More About Mecca Bingo

Mecca Bingo Adverts

One of the latest Mecca Bingo adverts, which was initially aired in 2023, sees Louise Redknapp share how you can indulge in the same ‘edge of your seat feeling’, whether you are playing online or heading down to your local bingo hall. As Louise Redknapp walks down the street after declaring, “Bingo, you know the feeling”, you see a series of people setting down a cup of tea or coffee next to their iPods, which are being used to play online bingo games. The ad then starts to depict people being on the edge of their seats while playing on public transport and other players being so engrossed in the action that they drop their toast, much to the pleasure of their eagle-eyed pug. The ad then takes the opportunity to promote the welcome offer, which allows new members to deposit £10 and play with £50, before Redknapp speaks on behalf of all Mecca Bingo employees when she says, “It has been fun getting to know you over the years”.

The most adventurous, and some may say ‘iconic’, advert was aired in 2016; the ad opens with a scientist donning a white coat declaring that her scientific credentials are how she knows that you like dancing cactuses and brilliant offers; the scene then cuts to a man in a cactus suit dancing to a drum and bass track who advertises the same deposit £10, play with £50 offer.

Mecca Bingo Sponsorships

It seems as though every online casino and bingo site needs to have its turn sponsoring Loose Women on ITV. On the 2nd of January 2024, the honour fell upon Mecca Bingo, as Mecca became the headline sponsor of the daytime panel show. The sponsorship deal will see the launch of an online, TV and social media campaign, which will be facilitated by IMA Home. Catchy idents have been created for ITV and the streaming service, ITV X.

Before the Loose Women sponsorship, Mecca Bingo proudly sponsored Celebrity Lingo, which also aired on ITV. The prime-time Sunday evening show had a 6-week run in 2022, followed by a Christmas special. Even though Celebrity Lingo is a long-running word challenge show, viewers flocked to tune in after hearing that the show would be hosted by none other than RuPaul Charles, who is best known for presenting Ru Paul Drag Race, and, of course, being the ‘supermodel of the world’.

Mecca Bingo in the Press

Mecca Bingo is always in the news for its life-changing bingo jackpots picked up by players when they head down to their local bingo hall. For example, on the 1st of February, 2024, the bingo brand was mentioned in an article which came hot from The Bolton News press, about a regular player scooping up a £25k jackpot. A few days earlier, a similar story was run by the Wakefield Express about a player who snagged £50k in Wakefield.

Getting an accurate view of where Mecca Bingo stands financially can be difficult with the juxtaposing news articles. For example, in February 2024, AOL declared that the owner of the Mecca Bingo sister sites had swung back to profits in the past six months after the footfall of bingo players increased; however, a few days prior, members of the Mecca Bingo Hall in Dundee were warned that their favourite bingo spot in Nethergate could close in a matter of weeks.

At the start of February, This is Money gave its readers an insight into preparations that are being made at the Mecca Bingo Halls for Mother’s Day, which, historically, has always been its busiest day of the year. It is expected that it won’t be just the bingo players who get to call full house; the chief exec of the Mecca Bingo owner, The Rank Group, is expecting families to flock to the bingo halls on the 10th of March as last year, there were over 29,000 visits to the bingo halls – a 60% increase on normal trade levels! This surge in trade is expected to boost the recent profits even more, in addition to increasing the value of the share prices.

Mecca Bingo Player Reviews

Here are some recent player reviews of Meca Bingo we’ve picked up from around the web. The comments have been edited.

Julie – 16 Apr 2024 – Trustpilot
