Sign up

Joining Sky Bingo involves filling in a somewhat long-winded form, but it's well worth it as you'll then not only be a member of Sky Bingo but of Sky Bet, Poker and Vegas too. You'll also be able to access Sky Bingo using your TV or phone.

You'll be asked to enter details such as your date of birth (to verify that you are over 18) and your address, which must be the same as your billing address. After that's completed you can create a bingo alias and answer a couple of security questions which will be used if you forget your password.

You will also have to enter your credit card details at this stage and have the option to deposit money to your account right away. A handy feature allows you to set your deposits to a maximum limit within a chosen timeframe - useful if you're one to easily get carried away!

Design

Sky Bingo is decked out in fresh pink themes on a white background, making the site look really appealing. Fun flash animation is used throughout the site, adding a bit of extra sparkle to each page.

What's great about Sky Bingo is that there is plenty to do to keep you entertained. As well as bingo and extra games offered, there are pages for you to browse celebrity gossip, read your horoscope, or get advice about relationships.

If you're prone to playing a sneaky bingo game at work, there's even a 'Look Busy' button which will convert your bingo screen to a spreadsheet!

Another great feature is the Sky Bingo Advisers' Club. By becoming a Sky Bingo adviser you can air your opinions about the site and be eligible for rewards and special offers.

Usability

Sky Bingo is easy to use with its main pages displayed across the left-hand side of the home page. You can use these to find out more about playing bingo with Sky, as well as viewing all the current bingo offers and chat schedules.

There are lots of handy features that make Sky Bingo stand out from its competitors. For bingo newbies there's a fun and nifty 'Bingo Lingo' page which explains the origins behind such sayings as 'One Little Duck' (meaning '2') and 'Kelly's Eye' (meaning '1'). You also might feel like reading up on the Bingo Lifestyle pages, which have loads of fun gossip and advice - great for a break from bingo with a cup of tea!

Once you're registered with the site it's easy to get playing bingo right away. There are useful walkthroughs that show you exactly how the game will look when you open it up in a new window, and how you can go about winning. There's also a step-by-step guide on the basics of bingo, such as dabbing numbers and ticket sorting. After reading these you'll be fired up and ready to go!

Games

At all times throughout the Sky Bingo site, an hourglass at the top corner will tell you how long you have left until the next bingo game starts, so you can click on it any time to start your next game of bingo.

Sky Bingo specialises in 75-ball bingo, but there are lots of different rooms to play this in, giving each game an individual twist. There are also some fun mini games to play like roulette and blackjack - these can either be played in a cute tiny window or they can be popped-up to full-size on your screen.

The bingo rooms themselves open up in a separate window and follow in the same funky pink theme. All the different games available keep the site interesting and offer a lot of variety, meaning you'll always be kept entertained!

Jackpots

Sky Bingo offer a variety of different jackpots, such as the Sky High Jackpot worth £22,000 and the Super Joker Jackpot worth £12,000.

In most of the bingo rooms there is a minimum win of around £15, and tickets cost as little as 10p, so there's no reason not to give your favourite games a whirl.

The Recent Winners page will, at a glance, give you a taste of the kind of money you could soon be winning, which is great if you need a little extra inspiration!

Chat

Chatting with your fellow bingo-fans plays a vital part in the make-up of Sky Bingo. There's even a separate section which shows a schedule of chat games and specials happening across the site. For example, on Thursdays you can enter into live chat with an expert on celebrity gossip, or chat about your favourite recipes on Friday.

There's a whole world of chat rooms and games on Sky Bingo. There are separate chat games where you can play and chat at the same time, and of course there's also always the opportunity to chat to your friends in the bingo rooms whilst waiting for your lucky numbers to be called.
