Brought to you by the supermarket of the same name, Iceland Bingo is the one-stop-shop for bingo and slots enthusiasts.
It ignores the glitz and glamour of other top sites, opting for an understated appearance. As such, it is clear and concise: the uncluttered pages make the site user-friendly, with easy site navigation and clear, helpful guides.
So, let’s find out what makes this site so strong in its field.
Welcome bonus package
Check the website for details on their current welcome bonus offer.
Pros
- Deposit as low as £5
- Variety of unique promotions
- Wide range of banking options
Cons
- Limited selection of bingo variations
- Limited Extra Features for members
Bottom Line
The site is simple, but effective: its no-fuss attitude appeals to the minimalist within each of us, especially since the quality of the games are unaffected.
We’d love to see a few more bingo variations and special features, but only because those that are offered keep us hooked and wanting to come back for more.

Games
High 5 Bingo
With options for rows of numbers going across, up, down and diagonally, there are more chances to win (5, in fact) with this fun twist on classic bingo.
The Swedish Jackpot keeps players on their toes, running 24/7 in the High 5 room. It never dips below £150, and becomes the property of any player who can bingo a Full House within 50 calls.
Promotions
The Freezer
In keeping with Iceland’s heritage, this aptly named 90-ball bingo room contains more bingo treats than you could even imagine. Open early evening (6-8pm daily), it is exclusive to funded players — those who have made a real cash deposit — helping to keep numbers low and chances of winning high. With both huge jackpots and Iceland food vouchers on offer, there’s plenty to play for.
Pennies Make Pounds
How many times have you heard the saying ‘take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves’?
Well, Iceland’s Pennies make Pounds promotion, held in the new and exclusive room of the same name, embodies that logic. Each and every day, between 12pm and 3pm, you can gain entry and stand to win jackpots of up to £30 with penny tickets — that is one giant markup! You can fit a bit more bingo into your lunch hour and get a decent profit for a tiny stake.
So, here’s an easy question for you: where’s the best place to be in the early afternoon? In the ‘Iceland Specials’ section of the Bingo Lobby of course!
Prize Draw Room
What better way to boost your month than by partaking in Iceland’s prize draw?
Held at 9pm on the 15th of each month, there is a guaranteed £500 up for grabs!
Tickets cost just 5p each; pre-buy to avoid that last-minute panic.
The Late Night Show
What better way to while away the small hours than by competing against a few, select others for money? The fun and games kick off at 00.45, and players can purchase a minimum of 96 tickets at a penny each —bargain!
This highly exclusive room limits entrants to 50 players only, which gives you the best possible shot at big winnings, including an incredible £100 jackpot in real cash.
So, if you’re a night owl, then make sure you’re ready to pre-buy tickets at 00.30 sharp!

The performance on site is impressive. As we’ve already mentioned, the site is extremely user-friendly in terms of navigation, and all the games perform well.

Extra features
Loyalty
Iceland are keen to reward their members, and their generous Loyalty Scheme does just that. With 4 levels to climb, there’s plenty of opportunity for progression, based on the amount you deposit the previous month.
Bingo Rookies, Pros, Masters and Champions are all eligible for free games, but those who qualify for the higher levels will also gain cashback on bingo and spin bonuses, free spins, and free tickets into the Sure Win promotion, where you are guaranteed not to come out empty-handed.
Free Bingo
Even better, there are a heap of games that members can enter absolutely free; eligibility depends on certain criteria, such as when you last deposited or how long ago you registered. See the table of free games below.
Social Media
Unlike some other top sites, Iceland limits its social media presence to Facebook and Twitter. However, this does nothing to jeopardise its quality: followers can expect regular updates with a range of entertaining comments, pop culture discussion and special promotions. As one of the smaller sites around, there’s a close community feeling here.
Final comments
Low-key and personal, Iceland Bingo caters for chilled (get it?) bingo players wonderfully. All in all? We at BingoPort feel it deserves a strong 4 stars.
