Gala Bingo Bonuses and Review

Gala Bingo Welcome Bonus

When we heard of Gala Bingo’s opening promotion, we were 99.9% sure there had been a typing error, or at least a decimal point missing somewhere!

But make no mistake, Gala Bingo offer new players a £55 bonus when they join and deposit just £10, AND they give them the chance to win £8,000 from free bingo games – with £1200 being up for grabs every day for the first week after signing up and making their first £10 deposit!

The generous 450% bonus will be credited to customers after they have deposited and spent their first £10 on Gala Bingo, giving them a total of £55 in bingo funds. Or, for those bigger spenders, they can choose to deposit £20 and get a £50 first time bonus! What’s more, the wagering requirement on the welcome bonus is a mere 2x the bonus, after which point the bonus becomes real cash and you can withdraw your winnings.

The welcome package is so generous, you can almost forgive them for the ridiculously catchy TV advert jingle!

Gala Offers and Promotions

Any Coronation Street lovers in the house? Fans of the much-loved soap will love the Gala exclusive ‘Coronation Street Bingo’ played every night between 8pm and midnight, in their Corrie-themed rooms (the Rover’s Return room and Roy’s Rolls being our personal favourites!). The numbers are read out by Ken Barlow himself! Okay, so he’s no Gary Barlow, but the theme itself is unique, the prizes are unique, and the entire thing is frankly bloomin’ marvellous in our books.

Gala offer their very own interactive advent calendar for Christmas! Instead of those snowman-shaped chocolates everyone secretly loves, there are some whopping prizes up for grabs, for 24 days over Christmas! A similar process is repeated around Easter in which an Easter egg ‘hunt’ takes place, and players get special ‘eggs’ with even better prizes nestled inside!

Every week, Gala offer promotional bingo games, including a daily Happy Hour, a ‘Monday Mayhem Cahsback’ promotion, and 1TG Tuesdays & 2TG Thursdays! This is alongside the daily ‘Penny Bingo’ where bingo tickets are as cheap as 1p!

Better still, ‘Team Bingo’ games are offered, where players can join forces, create a team and split their winnings between themselves! A lovely idea, which really adds to the sense of community the site is rooting for.

Is Gala Bingo Any Good?

This community feeling, alongside the general atmosphere is among the site’s best attributes. The fact you can win as a team in the ‘Team Bingo’ games is a nice touch rarely seen on sites of its kind nowadays. The different rooms and their themes offer a rich sense of variety, and manage to make an otherwise simple game so much more exciting!

An app is available for Apple users – naturally for some this is a downside given the memory usage – but this nifty little app is small, and downloads extremely quickly (within 20 seconds to be precise!). Other users can sign up via their mobile’s browser, and they will be automatically redirected to the mobile version of the site. The horizontal scrolling navigational bars in the lobby which often makes it hard to scroll the page down (for those with clumsier fingers), but the site itself functions excellently with only a few niggling glitches.

Upon signing up, players can expect an integrated Live Chat system, on which the assistants are very friendly and efficient. In terms of functionality, there is still some minor work to be done on this one, but in terms of a first-class, friendly experience, we couldn’t fault Gala in the slightest, who we would say offer one of the friendliest, most laid back bingo sites we’ve ever encountered.
