Costa Games Sister Sites

Red Bus Bingo is one of the very oldest Costa Games sister sites. You’ll know that the moment you first lay eyes on it. It’s been around since 2010, but it actually has the appearance of an iGaming site far over. While we know that it used to be a favourite of many players in the past – and perhaps you were even one of them – most of its former audience has long since moved on. Red Bus Bingo, in its current shoddy state, can’t be attracting too many new players to replace them, so we fear for the long-term viability of the site.

The problem with Red Bus Bingo isn’t just that it looks bad; if that were enough to sink an iGaming site, plenty of the other Costa Games sister sites would also be in trouble. The issue is that quite a lot of the site seems to be broken. Links don’t take you to the places they ought to take you, and games are far harder to find than they’re supposed to be. As enticing as some of the promotions at Red Bus Bingo appear to be, we’d be a little nervous about depositing money into it.

We appreciate that when you came looking for Costa Games sister sites, you were probably hoping to find casinos or slots sites. After all, if you wanted bingo, you could go straight to Costa Bingo. That’s the closest of all the Costa Games sister sites to Costa Games itself in terms of content and style. The problem you’ll face is that most of the Grand Battery Holdings Limited sites are bingo sites, so that’s mostly what you’re going to find. There are exceptions to every rule, though, and Spinzilla is one of them. This is a slots-focused site, and despite its basic 2D appearance, it has some fancy tricks up its sleeve.

When you’re new to Spinzilla, you can open your account by getting your first deposit boosted by 200% up to a maximum of £50 – an offer than comes with twenty-five free spins. That sounds great, but the associated wagering requirement will bring you back down to Earth with a crash – it’s x80, which is over double the UK average and means you’re probably never going to be able to withdraw anything from the bonus. Still, though, there’s a “Star Rewards” loyalty scheme, and it’s conceivable you’ll get something from that if you hang around.

Look closely, and you’ll see that Posh Bingo was made using the same template as Red Bus Bingo. It’s just that Posh Bingo has done a considerably better job of disguising the rough edges of the template, using a style that isn’t a million miles away from Art Deco. It’s certainly chic, but you wouldn’t expect anything else from an iGaming site called “Posh Bingo.” The key question is whether the bingo games available at the site are indeed posh, and the answer is “no” – or, at least, no posher than the bingo games you’ll find at any of the other Costa Games sister sites.

Posh Bingo stands out from the rest of the busy bingo crowd on the Grand Battery Holdings Limited platform with its welcome promotion, which boosts the value of first deposits by 250%. The maximum possible award from the bonus is £250, and the wagering requirement is only x2 if you’re playing bingo, so that has to be considered a good all-around deal. The lack of variety among the bingo games is bound to start to grate eventually, though, and if you can find your way to the online slots that Posh Bingo allegedly has, you’re doing a better job than us.

We don’t know whether or not it’s just us, but when we see the word “bumble,” we expect to see a bee (or, at a push, a former cricket commentator). When we arrive at a site called “Bumble Bingo” and there are no bees in sight, we get a little confused. We don’t think we’ve got the intended theme wrong – the logo for the “home” button is a honeycomb. It’s like someone drew most of the background graphics for Bumble Bingo but then accidentally published them before they drew the bees in. Bumble Bingo isn’t the only one of the Costa Games sister sites to make such a basic error with its theme – far from it, in fact – but it’s still an odd thing to get wrong.

We’re spending a lot of time talking about the theme of Bumble Bingo because there really isn’t much to say about its content. Say what you want about sites like Red Bus Bingo or Posh Bingo – and we have – but they at least focus on bingo, which is the promise they make in their names. Bumble Bingo appears to be far more interested in online slots. It doesn’t have many of them to offer, but they still get pride of place above the bingo rooms on the homepage.

Earlier on, we said that if you’re here looking for Costa Games sister sites, you’re probably looking for somewhere that has plenty of online slots to offer. That makes Sugar Bingo a better bet for you than you might initially suspect it to be. It may have “bingo” in its name, but in every way that matters, this is a slots site. There are only four bingo games to play with at Sugar Bingo; the 1p bingo room, Daily Bingo Jackpot, Live Bingo, and Mystery Jackpots. None of them are exclusive to the site. All the other games at Sugar Bingo – and there are over five hundred of them – are slots.

You might be wondering why Sugar Bingo is called Sugar Bingo if it doesn’t really offer much bingo. It’s a perfectly good question, and we wish we had an equally good answer for you. Unfortunately, we don’t. It’s a common issue among the Costa Games sister sites; there are more than two dozen sites like this, and all of them offer near-identical collections of slots and games. That’s also a problem in the end; while the appearances of the casinos on this platform may change, the games that they offer never really do.

Costa Games operator – Grand Battery Holdings Limited

Grand Battery Holdings Limited has made a significant impact in the UK casino industry in next to no time, inheriting a portfolio of over 200 sites that are now operating under its UKGC licence, all of which were previously owned by the 888 Group. The company was established in 2022 after 888 withdrew from the online bingo scene, refocusing instead on sports betting and its core casino brands, prompting the sale of all of its iGaming sites save those that fit the new remit. The competitive bidding process culminated in Dublin-based Broadway Gaming winning the package for a significant £38m, a price that raised some eyebrows amongst industry analysts who believed the sites were worth more. Rather than adding the sites to its existing UK Gambling Commission licence, Broadway Gaming created Grand Battery Holdings Limited to oversee its newly acquired assets, choosing not to list the sites alongside its existing bingo sites on its pre-existing licence.

As part of a unique approach, Grand Battery Holdings Limited was established with the sole aim of obtaining a UK Gambling Commission licence and becoming the new hosting company for Broadway’s former 888 Group sites. Although the company officially took control of all the acquired sites in February 2022 and independently owns a UK Gambling Commission licence, it doesn’t exist independently from its parent company. As such, Grand Battery Holdings Limited does not have its own office or registered address, instead sharing its business address with Broadway. Furthermore, the company has no employees, website or business logo of its own. The logo visible above was created purely for this page. Grand Battery Holdings Limited is bigger than Broadway Gaming based on the number of casinos it operates but remains subservient to it.

Costa Games Welcome Bonuses

The welcome promotion you’ll receive when joining Costa Games entirely depends on how much you’re willing to part with as a first deposit. For £10, you’ll get a 150% matched deposit up to a maximum of £28. For £20, you’ll get a 200% matched deposit up to a maximum of £40. Deposit £30 or more, and you’ll get a 220% matched deposit up to an absolute limit of £100. The bonus amount awarded is tied to an x30 wagering requirement, which is a smidge below the UK average and is, therefore, considered fair.

Other Promotions

Some of the Costa Games sister sites have fairly expansive and varied promotions, but Costa Games keeps it simple. First off, players get 10 free spins for every £10 they deposit as part of their second and third deposits at the site. From then on, they earn one “Coin” for every £10 they spend playing slots at the site. The more “Coins” they have, the greater the value of the items they can buy from the Costa Games shop. It’s a bit like a “create your own bonus” scheme, with matched deposits, bonus cash and free spins all available for purchase depending on how many “Coins” you have to spend.

Top Games at Costa Games

Costa Games makes a curious choice with its default view on its homepage. The only game you’ll see listed under the default view is Fruit Salad by Microgaming. It’s claimed as an exclusive game, but it isn’t. It wouldn’t be much cop even if it was; the game is as basic as slots come. Click the “A-List” tab to see the real top games at Costa Games, which include Gold Blitz by Fortune Factory Studios. It doesn’t have the most exciting theme you’ll ever encounter, but the sheer volume of bonuses packed into the game make up for that. Big Bass Bonanza is listed ahead of all of its sequels – which goes to show how much love people have for the fishing-themed original – and Bonanza is also given a prominent spot. That’s only fitting for the slots game that kickstarted the Megaways revolution and the pride of the Big Time Gaming product range.

Customer Support and Licensing

If you’re after live chat assistance from Costa Games, you’re going to be disappointed; the option isn’t there. Don’t worry, though – you can always reach out to the support team by using the toll-free number 0808 279 7638 or by sending an email to support@gameshelp247.com. Costa Games operates in accordance with UK Gambling Commission license 58267, held by Grand Battery Holdings Limited. The license was granted in February 2022, and it’s squeaky clean so far, with no warnings or fines issued.

Withdrawal Speed and Support

Costa Games’ withdrawal system is weak because of its outdated and limited nature. Presently, players can only withdraw funds through UK-registered debit cards or PayPal e-wallets. Each withdrawal request mandates a two-day processing period. PayPal withdrawals may then take an additional 2-3 business days, while debit card withdrawals can take up to 5 business days to be completed. Consequently, players may have to wait over a week to get their money. This extended delay is a problem for Costa Games, with instant withdrawals becoming the norm across the gambling industry.

Final Thoughts on Costa Games

Costa Games and Costa Bingo were two of the top sites on the 888 UK Limited platform when Grand Battery Holdings obtained them, but their stars have begun to fade as slicker, better-looking sites take their place. Costa Games is still perfectly fine, but “fine” doesn’t mean “great,” and players understandably want to spend their money at great casino sites. If Costa Games wants to reclaim its status, it needs to do something about those painfully slow withdrawals.

Costa Games Player Reviews

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

No players have posted any reviews of Costa Games on any review websites in the past twelve months, which may be a sign that the site is declining in popularity. We don’t like to list out-of-date reviews, as they don’t give a fair reflection of the casino as it exists today. If new reviews appear in the future, you’ll see them listed here..
