Company Information and Awards

The operator first opened in the 1970’s as a land based hall called Buckingham Bingo. Many years later – in 2005, the company was sold to Alchemy Partners for £90m. In 2007 they decided to enter the world of online bingo and have been offering top quality gaming ever since. 2010 saw the closure of their last land based bingo hall and in 2011, their online division was given a major makeover and got renamed to Bucky Bingo. In 2015, Bucky Bingo was a finalist in the Which Bingo awards and in 2016 they won ‘Best Boutique Site’ in the BingoPort Awards. Way to go! The company holds a license and is regulated by the Alderney Gambling Control Commission.

What I Thought of This Platform

I have visited the site prior to its makeover so I was very pleasantly surprised with the new, modern design and smooth action. When you land here, the first thing you notice is the fact they won an award in the 2016 BingoPort awards, which is quite an achievement considering the vicious competition. Registration is quite simple and quick and once done, you’ll have to choose a chat name. This is the nickname that will represent you in the bingo rooms amongst all roomies, so think twice. The theme is very light and relaxing, the community – lively and chatty and very colourful in terms of players’ origins. To put it shortly – I had good fun and will recommend it to anyone.

Some Quick Questions

Why do you need my card details?

This is purely for security reasons – for everyone’s benefit the site admins need to confirm you are who you say you are and are of legal age. Also, your country of origin has to be a destination where it is legal to play. So to avoid any future disappointments and misunderstandings, here they have adopted the practice of checking this on step one. If you wish to make speedy withdrawals as well, you are best passing any verifications early after signing up as they will be required before you can withdraw too.

What does the £360K weekend have to offer?

This promotion runs for three days on the last weekend of every month here at Bucky. There are new money-spinning games added every day for multiple chances to win big. Those take place in the ‘Big Money’ room, the ‘Party’ room and the ‘Rainbow Riches’ one. The promotion begins every day at 6pm and is available to both mobile and web players. Friday and Saturday evenings hold guaranteed cash prizes of £265,000. Sunday evening has £95,000 guaranteed. You can pre-buy tickets from the games lobby so you don’t have to be in the room to play. These Bingo Linx games are played within the Virtue Fusion Bingo Network, giving you even bigger prize pools.
