live bingo and rave nights online

If you have an online bingo account with Mecca Bingo, you might not have to travel far to enjoy live bingo events after the brand began piloting two of its most popular land-based bingo concepts online. Both Bonkers Bingo and Players’ events have been trialled online, and with a bit of luck, they’re here to stay!

The events are broadcast through the Mecca Bingo online chatrooms, but it isn’t actually the first time that Mecca Bingo has hosted live bingo events. It began doing so during lockdown when players were unable to enjoy live bingo at its land-based clubs, and this provided the inspiration for the current pilot.

According to Mecca’s Event Innovation and Experience Manager, Melody Munday, adding Players and Bonkers Bingo to the brand’s online bingo offering means that “everyone can experience the fun atmosphere in their own home”. So, if raving the night away in your living room with Bonkers Bingo or enjoying your favourite cocktail while curled up in bed sounds like your idea of heaven, log in to Mecca Bingo to check the live bingo experience out.

Games & Software

The Mecca Bingo website and Mecca Bingo app both offer you a huge choice of games. Although the bingo suite is powered by Playtech (Virtue Fusion), you can also enjoy slots, Slingo, scratch cards, and casino games from many other software providers including NetEnt, Microgaming, and IGT.

Mecca Bingo has recently signed a new contract with ITV to partner with the hit panel show, Loose Woman. Players can access the exclusive Loose Woman bingo game at Mecca where instead of daubing numbers, you will be daubing hot topics! Tickets cost just £2 to get started playing.

Live Bingo Fun

Mecca Bingo is known for its range of live bingo fun and the site is always launching new ideas to engage its players. This includes special events around holidays such as Easter where you can take part in club events where everyone is a winner with Club Session Bingo.

You can also watch their live events from Facebook where bingo hosts will tell you how to get involved in specific events such as entering a code in the bingo lobby bonus code area and if they call you, you must shout a certain phrase like ‘I LOVE MECCA’ to be awarded £10! Furthermore, they host live events where the hosts spin the wheel to award players prizes.

It is best to follow their social media pages to keep up with all of the latest live events. You can then log in to your Mecca Bingo account and take part in any exciting live bingo game promotions.

How to Deposit & Cash Out

While the banking system at Mecca Bingo is really easy to use (as well as quick), it offers a more limited number of payment methods than some of the major operators such as Gala Bingo.

However, you can’t complain about the speed, as deposits are instant and withdrawals are usually processed on the same day as you requested them (even on weekends).

To access the Cashier, simply click on the “Deposit” button at the top of any page.

Depositing

You can make secure deposits to your account using a debit card, Paypal or Paysafecard account or voucher.

The minimum deposit amount is just £5 which is great, and the Cashier also makes it easy to set your preferred deposit limits.
