Wink Help Guides
The wink team have produced a number of helpful guides on bingo and other related topics; you can find these interesting posts by visiting www.winkbingo.com and hovering the help tab on their main navigation. It features articles on how to play bingo and an interesting take on 24hrs in online bingo amongst a selection of other useful guides.
Social Media
Links to the Wink Bingo social media pages are available from the home page, indicating that they understand the significance of social media in the lives of its players.
Facebook: Usually quite active, the Wink Bingo Facebook page tends to go through peaks and troughs of activity. Check it out here - https://www.facebook.com/winkbingo/. There tends to be lots of links to self help articles and a lot less bonus opportunities than you might expect from a brand that always seems to put the player experience first. You can also contact the site from here and expect a response within a few hours if you have a general query.
Twitter: https://twitter.com/winkbingo - again links to interesting articles about gaming and about slot games, but a lot less promo codes and bonuses than were once so frequent.
YouTube: A great way to see how the Wink Bingo TV adverts have evolved and you can even go back to when the Dream Idols were brand ambassadors. The channel also includes details of many of the slot games that feature on Wink Bingo so you can decide ahead of time if you fancy playing. https://www.youtube.com/user/winkbingo.
G+: https://plus.google.com/+winkbingo - pretty much the source of many of the articles that are featured on Facebook and Twitter.
Mobile and tablet
Access Wink Bingo via any mobile device on the relevant mobile browser. The games are fully optimised for mobile play.
The layout of the mobile version of the site is simple and easy to understand. The navigation bar is located at the bottom of the screen and splits up the content into four categories - ‘Games’, ‘Bingo’, ‘My Wink’ and ‘More’.
Slot games and instant win games are all under the ‘Games’ section, with a huge selection to choose from, such as Rainbow Riches, Gonzo’s Quest and Imperial Destiny.
The bingo games are all under the ‘Bingo’ section, with a selection of different types available, such as 90 ball, 75 ball, Daily Jackpot and free bingo. The layout of the lobby is perfectly matched with the desktop version of the site and makes Wink Bingo on mobile very straightforward, simplistic and easy to use.
Wink Bingo has a selection of promotions available to their customers and all of them are in the ‘Promos’ section.
Everything else on this mobile bingo site is under the ‘More’ section. Such as, how to play, licensing information and settings.
If you wish to make a deposit, withdraw or set a deposit limit, simply tap on the separate ‘Banking’ section at the top of the screen.
Once in a bingo room there are three more options at the bottom of the page to enhance your game time while playing. There is 'Games', 'Chat' and 'Cards'. These give you the option to take part in the chat room antics, or to play from a massive selection of slots and instant games. Some will open to play within the room and others will take you away from the room, but there is no way of telling which will do what.
If you have chat or a game open you will see the numbers being called and how many numbers you have left to bingo in a panel at the top of the page so you know to click back to the game when you are getting close.
Unlike the desktop version you are unable to access the site fully, such as seeing the games and promotions, until you sign-up. The sign-up process is fairly slick, straight forward and is simple on mobile.
Overall Wink Bingo runs great on mobile with super fast load times, with no crashing. It’s simplistic and easy to navigate.
iOS App Store - Download the app from the App Store and quickly have the games one click away on your homescreen. It's quick and easy to download and operates in much the same way as described above.
Google Play - Wink Bingo operator 888 were among the first to take advantage of the Google Play Store opening up to pay to play games. Wink Bingo ofers 75 ball bingo, 90 ball bingo and the Flash Fives card game on its app, together with free bingo games and pre-buy options to jackpot games.
The chat function is fully operational and there is an extensive selection of slot games to choose from.
The app operates in much the same way as you would find it on your favourite mobile browser, it just offers faster access.
Android - Presently Wink Bingo does not provide an alternative way of download an app to your android phone, other than using the Google Play store.

I love Wink Bingo! I have been a member for a good while now and they have never let me down. The games are easy to navigate and the chat hosts are always welcoming and good fun. They also have some good chat games to make the game more interesting and Fred is pretty cool too... if you play Wink, you know who I'm talking about.- I've created my own Facebook group now for all us Wink Bingo players called "The Wink Bingo Hall" ;) I'm excited!

Horrible experience. Deposit 10.00 for promise it will give 65.00 (using promo code TOP10) only to find at the finish I only have 25.00. I want my deposit back, but I have to verify my age which takes 72 hours before I can even play a single game. I only wanted to pass an hour while the hubby was out. I will never use this poorly navigated site again. Very dissatisfied.

omg joined site tonight an got asked to send docs in for age ID, so had take photos an upload them, then download them - am 54 years old! Tried to ring them a couple times took a few calls to get through as no live chat from what i seen. In the end i got through and lady was nice enough, but by this time i had enough.
Why do these sites take your money then ask for id - it should be the other way around. not that am worried about proving my id or address, but never come across this like this before - its sat night thought I fancy bit bingo. i join this one. That was over a hour or so now i hate this site an want my money back an closeit, but told they have to send my docs off an up to 6 days to get money back in to paypal. well you took my money quick enough!
God all i wanted was a relaxing sat night off work an a few games bingo. Enough said am fuming an need go get some headache tablets - shocking is all i can say.User Rating:
Absolutely useless for slots. Every time you get bonus reel it freezes. as for the bingo never win as I play slots. end up having to abort as stuck too long.
Also all same name winners on bingoUser Rating:
Attempted to join up with 10.00 and receive the 50.00. extra.
Offered 25.00 and was asked a ton of pushy questions by 'Rai' who was rude, called me 'love' and made me feel angry.
Forget this one unless you want to be pressured into putting 20.00 as a deposit.

I thought I would try out Wink Bingo as it is the site of the month as they give you at least 50.00 to play with which is split 25.00 in bingo bonus, 10.00 in games bonus and then a min of 15.00 on the wheel spin which is put into your bingo bonus. I was expecting the min 15.00, but got 100.00, so have 140.00 to play with.
There are a lot of players on the linked free game so harder to win. Not liking the free newbie room. It's 75 ball so a pattern only room. Only ever won 7.50 during my 3 day access to this room. Other freebie rooms have 100s of players and not worth playing because of this.
A good point you do get loyalty points with every card you buy and need 1,000 for 1.00 bonus. I did found a cheap room where I could play games for less than 5p a game and did win a few time in this room. Not a high paying game, but you can win your money back, but if you don't depo after a week you are locked out.
Loving the Millionaire Genie slot game which I play for a min 15p a spin not many or if any sites give you game bonuses and after nearly 2 weeks still not used up my games bonus.
You have to have at least depoed 20.00 into your account before you can withdraw any winning and as I only depoed 10.00 can't yet. Support were happy that I quickly sent them my ID and thank me for that within 24 hrs of me sending it less than 2 weeks after joining
and I still have 80.00 left to play with, split between my bingo and gaming bonus. All in all loving this friendly site and will keep coming back.User Rating:
I must admit that Wink Bingo is a good site. I would rate it 3.4 stars due to the fact of the changes. The colours are just a little too bright, and does not really look welcoming. Wink Bingo used to be in a lovely, dark purple colour which was fab. As a lot of you have noticed, the Dragonfish network has changed the layout of the tickets. The tickets are slightly smaller and the '1TG' '2TG '3TG' on the cards are well smaller.
In my opinion, since the months have been flying by, the site has become less welcoming.User Rating:
Wink Bingo is a nice site. Been registered for 3 years and not won once, not even a small win so my advice don't bother wasting your money. However nice easy site to get around and always a deposit bonus when you deposit funds. Some nice games to play including 90 ball and 75 ball bingo- That's unlucky :-( how often do you play and what games do you play? I find High 5 and Fab 5 seem to be the best.

Dont play at this site. purchases cards that you dont request and then they dont give you the money back. There response is that they have never had any other reports of this, however speak to the players in the chat rooms and they most of them will tell you it has happened to them as well.
They send e-mails about it and get no response. Their policy is they do not refund on card that have been purchased which is fair enough if you have requested to purchase them, but when there site is purchasing cards you dont request it is a bit rich.User Rating:
Well done Wink, you have turned what used to be the best bingo site into the worst now.
The new look and format as of March 2017 is shocking.
You enter a room it doesent say who the host is, it doesent say what the chat game is, there is no longer a chat list there, you used to be able to see who was playing in that room, there is no live help, no gift option anymore.
I have been a member for 5yrs and its so sad to see it go downhill.User Rating:
This is easily the worst bingo site have tried so far. Very poor prize money, takes a huge slice of the cake for itself. Other sites such as Sky, Betfred and Mecca offer a much fairer prize pot, Wink Bingo is extremely greedy.
Additionally, new customer offers sound good on paper, but are designed to make withdrawing any winnings almost impossible.Avoid.Wink Bingo username: mich328

update, finally got through to wink bingo, they are now investigating.
still very unhappy with the process of saying i sent in such a false allegation. this gives you a horrible and upsetting feeling, knowing there are people who take the time to hack into your account sends information to people that is totally false.
i believe the way forward, is if a site get a so called email from you, they should call to discuss such things before banning you, your branding you anything.
