Good to know
- Same lobby on phone and tablet
- PayPal and Apple Pay in the cashier
- Progressive jackpot rooms
Worth checking
- Two bingo formats: 90-ball and 75-ball
Wink Bingo has a cheeky, colourful identity that carries over well to a phone screen. It is operated by Broadway Gaming Ireland DF Limited under UK Gambling Commission account 58267, the same company that runs 888ladies and Posh Bingo.
Wink on every screen
Wink describes its site as working on all tablets and mobile devices, and the app backs that up. The iPhone app from the App Store also runs on iPad and on Apple silicon Macs, and needs iOS 15.1 or later. On Android, the app is published in Google Play for phones and tablets. If you would rather not install anything, the mobile site gives the same lobby in Safari or Chrome.
Inside the lobby
Rooms are listed with their start time, ticket price and jackpot, so the key details are visible before you join. Inside a game you get your tickets, the called numbers and the chat, with auto-daub to keep up with the calls.
Because the same lobby runs on phones and tablets, you can start a session on the sofa with an iPad and finish it on your phone without learning a new layout.
Bingo games and jackpots
Wink focuses on two formats:
- 75-ball bingo with pattern prizes on a 5 × 5 card.
- 90-ball bingo, the familiar UK format with three prize stages.
Progressive jackpots are a feature of the lobby, marked on the room cards with the current total. Slots sit in a separate section, which keeps the bingo lobby from getting cluttered.
Getting the most from 75-ball games
75-ball bingo is where Wink puts much of its attention, and it plays quite differently from the 90-ball game. The card is a 5 × 5 grid with a free space in the centre, and each game asks you to complete a pattern: a line, the four corners, a letter shape or the whole card. The pattern for the current game is shown in the room, and it can change from one game to the next.
On a phone, auto-daub is a real help in 75-ball rooms, because patterns are harder to track by eye than a straight line. If you play several cards at once, look for a “best cards” view, which many bingo rooms use to show the cards closest to the pattern first. Start with one or two cards until the pace feels familiar.
Payments at Wink Bingo
| Method | Good to know |
|---|---|
| Visa and Mastercard debit | The most common choice for deposits and withdrawals |
| PayPal | Keeps card details out of the app |
| Apple Pay | Fastest on an iPhone, confirmed with Face ID |
| Wire transfer | Useful for larger withdrawals, slower to arrive |
Credit cards cannot be used for gambling in the UK, so they are not an option.
Safer play at Wink
Wink shares the account tools of its sister sites, including deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion, and it points players to GamCare for free support. The app also shows reminders to play within your limits. Use them: jackpot rooms can make it tempting to buy more tickets than planned.
Who Wink Bingo suits
Wink suits players who like a bright, fun look and a focused choice of 75-ball and 90-ball games with jackpots. Apple Pay and PayPal make it quick to use on a phone. For more formats, see Kitty Bingo or Lucky Pants Bingo. The same operator also runs Posh Bingo and 888ladies.
Compared with similar apps
| App | Store apps | Bingo formats | Stands out for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wink | iPhone, Android, iPad | 90, 75-ball | Easy to explore |
| Mecca | iPhone, Android, iPad | 90, 80, 75-ball | Simple navigation |
| Kitty | Android | 90, 80, 75, 50, 40, 36-ball | Game variety |
| Lucky Pants | Mobile site | 90, 80, 75, 50, 36-ball | Community |
Verdict. Wink works the same on phone and tablet and runs 75-ball and 90-ball games with jackpots. It sits outside the three apps recommended here at the moment; the top picks table shows where Mecca, Kitty and Lucky Pants differ.
