Bingo Eireann sister sites 2023

You’ll no doubt be well aware that the meaning of Bingo Eireann, when translated out of Gaelic into English, is Bingo Ireland. Bingo Britain is, therefore, the British-facing equivalent of Bingo Eireann and the closest of the two Bingo Eireann sister sites to Bingo Eireann itself. Based on its layout and design, you could almost be forgiven for thinking the two sites are one and the same, with minor adjustments made at each end for aesthetic reasons. However, that would be wrong. Bingo Britain is, in fact, far more dedicated to the idea of being a bingo site than Bingo Eireann is. That’s why you won’t find a slots game, a table game, or even a digital scratchcard at Bingo Britain. It’s the rarest of all things in the modern era of iGaming – a site that genuinely focuses exclusively on bingo.

As admirable as Bingo Britain’s attempt to keep the flag flying for bingo is, its biggest strength is also its biggest weakness. For reasons best known to someone at Palatial Leisure Limited, you can’t see any of the bingo rooms available at Bingo Britain until you’ve already signed up for the site. It’s the only one of the two Bingo Eireann sister sites to lock its wares away from casual visitors like this. Similarly, there’s a confusing lack of information available on the Bingo Britain website about deposits and withdrawals, with full disclosure only available after players have registered. Keeping players in the dark and asking them to go in blind is rarely a good idea for a casino network operator, and as lovely as Bingo Britain looks, we can’t say it’s planned out well for the company here. Bingo Britain is a couple of tweaks away from being a great bingo site, but those tweaks need making urgently. With its current weaknesses, the site’s lack of popularity among players is wholly understandable.

The last thing any casino operator wants to hear in a review is that there’s an enormous mistake on the homepage of its flagship casino, but there’s no way of avoiding it at The Palaces Casino. Specifically, the clanger has been dropped in the “Why choose us” section of the homepage. The area highlights a list of reasons why The Palaces Casino is the best place for players, including a claim that there are “games for everyone at Bingo Eireann,” which is, of course, not this casino – it’s the casino we’re reviewing further down this page. While it’s obvious from the briefest of glances that the Bingo Eireann sister sites share a similar design, The Palaces Casino seems to have committed a faux pas by copying and pasting information from Bingo Eireann without editing it. The mistake is not only horribly visible but embarrassing for the casino, which is supposed to be the flagship of the Palatial Leisure Limited brand.

Despite the obvious mishap, The Palaces Casino could still be the perfect alternative for those who are seeking Bingo Eireann sister sites that offer more than just bingo games. It’s very different to Bingo Britain, which is solely dedicated to bingo, instead offering a vast selection of slots games. From older or classic slots such as Cleopatra to quirky and original games such as Spaceman, players can enjoy different themes and genres of casino entertainment here. You can still play bingo here if that’s what you want to do, though, which is why there’s a big “let’s play bingo” button in the middle of the homepage. Players who are willing to overlook the casino’s design flaws might still find some fun to be had at The Palaces Casino. Despite its issues, the casino is still probably the pick of the options on this platform for those in search of a well-rounded casino experience. It’s never going to become one of the top iGaming sites in the UK, but it has its fans.

Bingo Eireann operator – Palatial Leisure Limited

Palatial Leisure Limited, also known as Palace Bingo & Casino Clubs, is the parent company behind the Bingo Eireann sister sites. The operator has a significant presence in both the online and offline gaming industry, with its physical Palace Bingo clubs in the Norfolk area. It’s a regional giant rather than a national one. The company is led by Patrick Duffy, who brings over thirty years of relevant experience to the table and is mentioned repeatedly by name on every website that the company operates. You’ll find the company’s headquarters is located in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, which is a rarity in the industry, as many betting and casino companies choose to base themselves in locations like Gibraltar or Malta because of the more favourable tax conditions available in those locations. On the “about us” page on each of the Bingo Eireann sister sites, you’ll find strong emphasis placed on the company’s dedication to providing fun experiences, which almost feels like a business mantra. In fact, the same sentiment can be found on the website of the offline Palace Bingo & Casino Clubs, which suggests that it’s a core value of the company.

Palatial Leisure Limited is a company that prefers to keep some of its operational details confidential. There’s no information anywhere to confirm how many people are directly employed by the business, nor what its value might be. In fact, little information is available beyond promotional content on its websites. Public records, such as those on Companies House, provide some insight into the company’s history. Palatial Leisure Limited was incorporated in March 1993, indicating that its physical premises existed before its online presence and confirming what Patrick Duffy says about his three decades of experience on most of the company’s websites. The most recent documents suggest a turnover of approximately £2.5m per year, which is a respectable figure, though it’s not among the largest players in the industry.

Bingo Eireann Sister Sites Welcome Bonuses

There are quite a lot of things about Bingo Eireann that confuse us, and they’re neatly summed up by the site’s welcome promotion. This is an iGaming site that’s licensed and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission and accepts players from the UK. There’s no mention anywhere that the casino is licensed or approved by any regulatory body in Ireland. Despite that, the values listed on the homepage (and elsewhere on the site) are all given in Euros. New players are promised a two hundred per cent match on first deposits up to a maximum value of €75, with the idea being that players could deposit €25 and play with €75. The minimum qualifying deposit is €10, the bonus can only be used to play bingo games, and the associated wagering requirement is x2. We’d like to believe that there’s a 1:1 conversion rate here, so UK players can deposit £25 and play with £75, but we have no idea whether that’s true or not.

Other Promotions

Given that there’s a dedicated “promotions” page and that we’ve already seen the details of the welcome offer on the homepage, players could be forgiven for expecting to see something more when they arrive on the page of the site that’s supposed to be dedicated to promotions. That’s not how things turn out at Bingo Eireann, though – as of the time of our visit to this Irish-themed bingo site to write this review, the welcome promotion was the only bonus listed. This means that the site is considerably weaker than both of the Bingo Eireann sister sites when it comes to ongoing rewards for players, as both sites offer promotions beyond the welcome offer. It’s a bit of a surprise.

Top Games at Bingo Eireann

We know that Bingo Eireann offers bingo rooms and games. It is, after all, the entire point of the iGaming site. However, we don’t know what any of those bingo rooms are called or how many rooms are available. That’s because Bingo Eireann takes the same approach as the Bingo Eireann sister sites in that it hides its bingo rooms behind the login screen; there’s no way of looking at them before you register. It’s bizarre that a bingo site behaves in such a way, but here we are.

You can’t actually see a list of any of the casino’s slots by default either, but you can get around that by entering the URL bingoeireann.com/play, which takes you to a list of slots and other games. From here, we can see that the casino side of Bingo Eireann is decked out with classics like Pragmatic Play’s Chilli Heat, which is presented in its Drops & Wins form. Da Vinci Diamonds and Cleopatra, both of which are considered classics in the slots world, are also represented. There are even a few instant win games, like the officially-licensed Ghostbusters: Spectral Search game. It’s clear that there’s variety at Bingo Eireann, but it isn’t clear that there’s much bingo.

Customer Support and Licensing

Bingo Eireann offers an extensive customer support platform that caters to the needs of its players. The site’s live chat support is available around the clock and is easily accessible via the contact page. For those who prefer to communicate via email, the site offers an email address, [email protected], to which players can send their queries. Bingo Eireann also provides a phone support service for customers who prefer to speak to a real person, with a freephone number, 0808 196 7874, available during business hours. Additionally, the site offers the option to text its support team at 07899 660000, providing yet another way to get in touch.

Bingo Eireann operates under the UK Gambling Commission licence 441, which is held by Palatial Leisure Limited, also known as Palace Bingo & Casino Clubs. This operator has a clean record with the UKGC, with no fines or warnings on file for the company.

Withdrawal Speed and Support

Despite commending Bingo Eireann’s customer support, we have some concerns regarding the lack of information on its withdrawal processes. The absence of a payments page or an FAQ on the website, as well as the lack of payment provider logos in the footer, leaves us unaware of which providers Bingo Eireann works with. Even after reading the website’s terms and conditions in full, no specific payment provider is mentioned. To compound our worries, the terms state that players should allow up to thirty days for withdrawals to arrive in the event of unforeseen circumstances at Palatial Leisure Limited, the operator of Bingo Eireann. This contradicts the site’s promise of quick withdrawals on its homepage, and this clause isn’t a standard term for iGaming sites so that raises concerns about the reliability of the site’s withdrawal process.

Final Thoughts on Bingo Eireann

Some of the obvious weaknesses that exist at Bingo Eireann also exist at the Bingo Eireann sister sites, but not all of them do. The other two sites on the platform, for example, have ongoing promotions. Not only goes Bingo Eireann not have ongoing promotions, but we can’t even be sure that the one promotion it does offer is available to UK-based players. Then there are the other issues – the lack of visibility of any bingo rooms being one and the bizarre lack of clarity over withdrawal processes being another. Bingo Eireann looks great, and it might be perfectly fun and safe to use, but we can’t come up with a good answer to the question of why it would ever be worth playing here when players could instead go to one of the hundreds of other online bingo sites that don’t have these issues.

Bingo Eireann Sister Sites Player Reviews

Here are the thoughts of your fellow players about Bingo Eireann. The reviews are all real, but we’ve paraphrased them to keep them brief.

Bingo Eireann has yet to receive any player reviews on prominent review websites since its inception. While we always look to provide readers with feedback from other players, we’re unable to do so in this case due to the lack of reviews available. However, if any player reviews of Bingo Eireann do surface in the future, we’ll make sure to update and include them in our coverage of the site.
