Sky Bingo Review
When you say the name Sky the first thing everyone thinks of is Satellite TV. However, the Sky brand is also alive and kicking in the online bingo market powered by the the ever popular Virtue Fusion software. This software is constantly changing with new games added quite often. Details of the latest additions can be found in our news section.
Once you have completed the registration which is entirely painless, you will then be able to navigate your way around the site and take your pick of the different variations of bingo games. Standard games include Bingo 90 and lots of it, Bingo 80 and Bingo 75 but there are also some very special bingo rooms popular on this software, including the Deal or No Deal bingo room with its feature game and Lucky Numbers Bingo.
Sky Bingo has plenty of bargain budget games available which enables you to eke out your money further. There is 4 hours of free bingo every day as well as 3 hours of penny bingo. If you’re looking for instant win games then this brand has them in abundance!
You can also pre-purchase tickets for four jackpot games. Play for £1,000 every night at 10pm, £5,000 every Wednesday night at 9.30pm, £10,000 Bingo Linx jackpot played on the last Sunday of the month. The best game has to be the newest one to be added which is the £20,000 jackpot game where tickets cost just 2p each and will be played on the first Friday of every month.
It is possible for you to customise your game options, click on the preferences tab at the top of the screen. This will open up a screen enabling you to choose what options you want to change such as the colour of your cards, dabber shape and style, sorting options including changing the colour on the cards from 4tg to 1tg as well as whether your want to manually daub your cards. Other customisation options include the option to turning off the caller’s voice, volume of background music and sounds.
There are plenty of chances to win loyalty points to top up your bingo balance by taking part and winning some of the chat room games. A couple of the chat games on offer are Guess Who, Lucky Number and Karaoke Queen.

i think your site is the biggest rip off site i have ever played on and i like a lot of others who i have kept in touch with have always been on the bad side of your ratios and its amazing that the winners on these gamesites talking a few seem to have similar names and never speak even when you try to speak to them and i urge people who read these comments to please not play on this website meaning sky because i have lost 1800 or more pounds and never had a big win sky bingo has taught me a very valuable lesson thats dont gamble and even big name companies will rip you off they might be governed by alderney but only on when the reel wins not on how much so you place a pound and you win 10p or less thats classed has a win and thats where they get there per centages from game sites look good alderney think there doing there job so both get paid out there is your winner and your the loser i will go out of my way to try and bring this to the attention of people who it concerns ie through what ever channels i can ie watchdog etc oh and my rating is -5 being 1 out of is poor

Emma, I have to disagree with you – Sky is one of the best out there. I have had a number of large wins with the site, and taken them all out without any of the hassle you’d experience with other sites. Spending money at gaming sites is about entertainment, it’s not about winning and spending large amounts doesn’t guarantee you a big win.

I would like to konw if the odds are 50/50,for you, others and for me?
Thank you

Hi Donovan, how do you mean 50/50? All the games are run by Random Number Generators, so everyone has the same chance of winning, depending on how many tickets they have.

ia agree with what you say emma always same winner’s 7 days a week the more u put in the more you lose rip off sky bingo i could give you 5 names at least that win all the time and mostly big wins too 1/5

I have been a player of sky bingo for 3 years and never had a win worth banking and i have noticed that the same names seem to win and never chat this makes you wonder if these are very lucky people or just made up so emma & cath i am with yous 2!

Hi,
Im afraid Emma is correct, if you are hoping to win something you really honestly would be better off playing the national lottery. I wasted much time on sky bingo (and money) just hoping for a win of some kind, even a small win i really didnt care, but no, never won a penny, its a big waste of time. I also saw many of the same old names winning, now thats frustrating but im over it!!!!
Honestly stick to the lottery. If id have bought 80 tickets, id expect to at least win £10.
Here you go, 06, 12, 15, 19, 29, 43
good luck
