Yay Bingo introduced itself as ‘the most vibrant site around for all your gaming needs’ for the first time in early 2018. It’s a site that is owned by the Tau Gaming Group and boasts all of the great features that those other brands owned by the group have to offer. This includes a great selection of games, both bingo and slots, a decent welcome bonus, and friendly chat hosts.

‘Yay’ is an exclamation of triumph or approval but there’s no guarantee that you will be triumphant in the rooms; that’s down to Lady Luck and if the balls fall in your favour. As for the approval, read on in our review below to find out what we thought of the site in general but in order to find if it meets your standards, it’s best to visit and try it out.

Welcome Offer

Yay Bingo has quite the welcome offer available to new players registering their first account and making an initial deposit of £10 at the site using the code YAY. When you complete these steps, you will be awarded 64 free bingo tickets and 10 slot spins!

60 of the free bingo tickets are for use in the Street Party game whilst the remaining 4 can be used on the Big Bang game. All are added to your account the moment that you make your first deposit but have to be used within seven days or will be forfeited.

Bonus Wagering

The slots that your 10 free spins are available for use on a title of Yay Bingo’s choice but only when you have wagered £5 of your first deposit at the site, on any game. Any winnings derived from these spins have a cap of £1 and as the bingo tickets, the free spins are only in your account for seven days before being removed if not used.

The site is part of the Real Money Network which means there are no wagering requirements attached to any winnings derived from free spins or free bingo tickets. Anything you win is credited to your real cash balance.

Promo Codes

There are promotion codes used regularly at Yay Bingo and it all starts with the welcome package. The code YAY is required when you make your first deposit with the brand. If you don’t use the code, you won’t reap the rewards!

Every day the site lists a new bonus code in their Daily Promo offer and by meeting the depositing requirements and using the code listed for that particular day, you will be furnished with the offer of that day.

As an example, on the day of our review, the Daily Promo code was FRUITY* and the minimum deposit required to claim the bonus was £5. The rewards were 150 free bingo tickets + 100 seconds of spins!

*This code may no longer be valid and is used as an example only. For the latest deal, visit the promotions page at yaybingo.com.

Jackpot and Promotions

Note that the following promotions are subject to change at any time. You can check the latest deals by clicking the promotions tab on the official website.

  • Daily Promo – By accessing the promotions page at the site you will find the Daily promo; a different promotional code is posted every day and rewards can be bingo bonuses, free bingo tickets, and free spins.
  • Exclusive Promotions – The site suggests that you opt-in to receive emails and SMS communications from them so they can share details of the exclusive offers directly with you.
  • Free Bingo – There isn’t a huge selection of free bingo rooms at this site but it’s more quality than quantity because on game hosted weekly boasts a £1,000 jackpot for funded players
  • Big Bang – Whilst you have to be invited to this game (i.e., as a new player), it’s a jackpot game worth getting in the action of because it has a £10,000 prize pool.
  • Mystery Jackpot – If you like a bit of suspense from your bingo then these games are worth a look at. The jackpot value isn’t announced until it is too late to buy tickets, just 10 seconds before the game starts.

Games and Slots

There’s more to Yay Bingo than just bingo, the site is also home to a vast selection of slots and instant win games. Each has its own lobby and these can be accessed via the menu on the left of your screen. The default lobby is bingo and you are able to view details of what each room has to offer. You can see information like how many players are in the room, how long until the next game starts, the value of the progressive jackpot if available, the value of the prize pot, and the game type.

There are five different types of bingo games hosted here and these are what we have come to expect on sites powered by the Dragonfish software. There are the standard 90-ball bingo games, two different types of 75-ball games (a pattern which is 75/24 and five-line, 75/25), and finally, two different types of the 52-ball version of the game (Bingo Roulette and Hit 52).

You will find tickets to suit all budgets in the bingo rooms and of course, the lowest-priced are those that are free. Others range from 1p to £1 but the highest cost is £10 for the Big Bang game.

Moving on to the slots lobby, it is hard not to be impressed with the choice available. There are over 1,000 different titles to choose from with many of the most popular software providers listed in the portfolio. The likes of IGT, NetEnt, Slingo, Eyecon, and many more. There is also a selection of the Megaways titles in the mix.

As you enter the slots lobby you will be astounded by the choice in this area. Although there aren’t quite as many titles available on this site as others using the Dragonfish software, there is still a decent selection to choose from.

Cleopatra, Starburst, Fluffy Favourites, Shaman’s Dream, Gonzo’s Quest, and many others can be found here. There are also new games added regularly, you just need to head to the New Games category to check these out.

Mobile App

Although there is not a specific app that you can download to play at Yay Bingo this does not mean that you cannot play via your mobile device. To do so you use your web browser and visit www.yaybingo.com.

In doing so you can access all the great games and the overall experience does not differ too much from that available via your web browser.

Registration and Login

Registering and logging in at yaybingo.com is fairly similar to other Dragonfish network sites. You will need your personal details and perhaps 5-minutes of your time. Your inputted values will be checked against a database to ensure you are the legal age to play and that you are not a self-excluded player.

Payment Methods

Funding your account can be done with the following secure deposit methods:

  • Debit cards (Visa and Mastercard)
  • PayPal
  • Apple Pay
  • Bank Transfer

One area where Yay Bingo stands out has to be with the tiny £5 minimum deposit and withdrawal threshold. To grab that new customer bonus, however, a £10 fund is needed, along with using the mentioned promotion code. Furthermore, unlike some other bingo networks, there are no fees associated with cashing out your winnings. Lastly, withdrawal processing times are typically 48 hours (2 days).

Trust and Safety

Players can assume that Yay Bingo is a relatively trustworthy website due to being part of the long-standing and respected Dragonfish network. Additionally, they are fully licensed by the UKGC (UK Gambling Commission) through Broadway Gaming, using license number 58267.

Yay Bingo Review Verdict

Yay Bingo has quite a lot to offer the discerning bingo player and it starts with the no wagering requirements rules. Equally as impressive is the selection of bingo rooms and slots that can be found here; there is something to suit everyone’s taste. You can deposit and play at the site safe in the knowledge that it boasts a secure gaming environment and is licenced by the UK Gambling Commission.

The only fault that we can find about the site is that it doesn’t offer anything unique or different from other sites from Tau Gaming. However, this is something that can be improved on easily and is not a deal breaker.
