Wink Bingo Sister Sites

Operated by Broadway Gaming Ireland DF Limited (part of the Broadway Gaming Group, incorporated in the Republic of Ireland; registered office: Hospitality House, 16–20 Cumberland Street South, Dublin, D02Y097, Ireland) · Last reviewed: 2026-07-11

Who really owns Wink Bingo?

Wink Bingo is one of the longest-running names in UK online bingo, dating back to a creation by Daub Ltd before passing to 888 Holdings in 2009. Ownership changed again in 2021–2022, when Broadway Gaming Group — via Saphalata Holdings and the broader Broadway corporate structure — acquired the Dragonfish bingo platform and its associated brand portfolio from 888 Holdings. Today, Wink Bingo is operated by Broadway Gaming Ireland DF Limited, a company incorporated in the Republic of Ireland with its registered office at Hospitality House, 16–20 Cumberland Street South, Dublin, D02Y097. This detail is stated explicitly in the footer of winkbingo.com, which reads that services are 'operated by Broadway Gaming Ireland DF Limited, a company incorporated in the Republic of Ireland,' and that the operator is 'licensed and regulated in Great Britain by the Gambling Commission under the account number 58267.' That account number, 58267, is the anchor point for identifying genuine sister sites. In UK gambling regulation, a single UKGC account can host multiple trading names (domains), all falling under one licensed operator's legal and regulatory responsibility. When two bingo or casino sites share the same account number, they share the same responsible entity for player funds, complaints handling, fair-play standards, and responsible gambling obligations. This is different from two brands simply looking alike, using the same software, or being owned by the same parent group at a holding-company level without sharing the actual operating licence.

What counts as a genuine sister site

For this article, a site is only listed as a confirmed Wink Bingo sister site if it meets two conditions: it is operated by Broadway Gaming Ireland DF Limited, and it sits under UKGC account 58267 — the same account cited on winkbingo.com itself. This is a stricter bar than many bingo comparison sites apply. Some sources casually group together every brand that runs on the Dragonfish platform, but Dragonfish technology is licensed out to roughly 140 active UK bingo sites across multiple operators, many of which have no shared ownership with Broadway Gaming at all. Shared software does not equal shared operator, and shared operator does not automatically equal shared licence account, since Broadway Gaming itself holds a second UKGC account (39075) under a different legal entity, Broadway Gaming Limited, which covers separate brands entirely. Applying this stricter standard, the confirmed sister sites of Wink Bingo are 888 Ladies, Costa Bingo, Sing Bingo, Moon Bingo, Wink Slots, Bid Bingo, and Booty Bingo. Additional names — including Bingo Irish, Bingo Street, and Ted Bingo — appear in some secondary sources as part of the same Broadway Dragonfish family, but given the caution this article applies to unverifiable claims, only the seven brands above are treated as fully confirmed for the comparison table and detailed reviews below. Readers researching Bingo Irish, Bingo Street, or Ted Bingo directly should verify current operator details on each site's own footer before assuming identical licence status.

Brands on Broadway's other UKGC account

It is worth being explicit about what is excluded and why. Broadway Gaming Group's second UKGC account, 39075, is held by a separate legal entity — Broadway Gaming Limited, not Broadway Gaming Ireland DF Limited. Brands reported under that second account include Butlers Bingo, Rosy Bingo, Dotty Bingo, Glossy Bingo, Bingo Diamond, Casino of Dreams, and Lucky 247. Even though these sites are part of the same wider Broadway Gaming Group at a corporate level, they are not on the identical licence as Wink Bingo, and this article does not include them among the confirmed sister sites for that reason. Group-level common ownership is a weaker form of relatedness than shared licence-account operation, and conflating the two risks giving players a false impression of exactly which entity is responsible for their funds and account. Some review sources also mention Chat Mag Bingo and Pick Me Up Bingo as Dragonfish-network sites operated by Broadway Gaming on behalf of Future plc, rather than owned outright by Broadway. This is a third category again — a management arrangement rather than direct ownership — and it further illustrates why account-number verification, not just brand-family association, is the correct method for identifying genuine sister sites.

The confirmed Wink Bingo sister sites compared

Site	Licence Type	Safety Index	Notable Feature
888 Ladies	UKGC	High	Flagship Dragonfish brand; strong legacy name recognition
Costa Bingo	UKGC	High	Holiday theme; consistently active free bingo schedule
Sing Bingo	UKGC	High	Music theme; warm community atmosphere
Moon Bingo	UKGC	High	Standard Dragonfish room and jackpot structure
Wink Slots	UKGC	High	Slots-only companion to Wink Bingo, no bingo rooms
Bid Bingo	UKGC	High	Extra room variety including a Swedish bingo variant
Booty Bingo	UKGC	High	Smaller brand, same network jackpots and providers

Every brand in this table shares the same underlying regulatory account as Wink Bingo, meaning the safety index reflects the same licensing standard across the board — there is no meaningful safety differentiation to be drawn between them purely on regulatory grounds. Differences between the sites are cosmetic and experiential: theme, room variety, promotional structure, and interface design, rather than differences in player protection or fund security.

888 Ladies: the flagship sister

888 Ladies is widely regarded as the senior brand within the Broadway Gaming Dragonfish stable, having carried significant recognition from its years under 888 Holdings prior to the 2022 acquisition. It runs the same 90-ball and 75-ball room formats as Wink Bingo, participates in shared networked jackpots including the Big £10K monthly jackpot, and draws its slot content from an overlapping pool of Eyecon, NetEnt, and Pragmatic Play titles. Its welcome offer has been reported as a deposit-£10-get-up-to-£40 bingo bonus structure, with a 2x bingo bonus wagering requirement and a 5-day expiry window, though bonus terms are subject to change and should always be confirmed on-site. Banking mirrors Wink Bingo closely: Visa and Mastercard debit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, and bank transfer, with a £10 minimum deposit. Withdrawal times follow the same rough pattern seen across the network — PayPal around 4 to 5 business days and debit cards 4 to 7 business days. Several independent reviewers note that 888 Ladies presents a marginally cleaner interface and clearer promotional signposting than Wink Bingo itself, though the underlying game and payment infrastructure is functionally identical.

Costa Bingo: the free-play specialist

Costa Bingo first launched under 888 Holdings back in 2007 with a holiday-beach theme, and now operates under Broadway Gaming Ireland DF Limited on the same account as Wink Bingo. It runs the standard Dragonfish room roster and shares networked jackpot pools and slot content with its siblings. What differentiates Costa Bingo in player reviews is its unusually active free bingo schedule — zero-stake rooms are open throughout the day, which makes it one of the more approachable sites in the network for players who want to try bingo without an immediate deposit. Its welcome promotion has been described as a deposit-£10-play-with-£40 offer plus 30 free spins on a themed slot title, alongside a separately cited 50% games bonus on a £10 deposit. Wagering requirements and expiry windows differ by promotion type, and as with every brand in this network, current terms should be checked directly before opting in. The £10 minimum deposit, standard payment methods, and shared KYC and responsible gambling processes apply exactly as they do at Wink Bingo.

Sing Bingo: the community-focused sister

Sing Bingo carries a music theme and operates under the identical account structure as Wink Bingo, sharing the same 90-ball and 75-ball formats and access to the same networked jackpot rooms. Its slot selection draws on Eyecon, NetEnt, Playson, and Gaming Realms (Slingo) titles, consistent with the broader network mix. Reviewers frequently describe the community atmosphere at Sing Bingo as particularly warm, citing friendly chat hosts as a recurring positive. Welcome bonus specifics are not consistently published across sources and should be checked directly on-site, but the £10 minimum deposit and standard payment methods (Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Apple Pay, bank transfer) are confirmed as consistent with the wider network. Sing Bingo maintains a separate account system from Wink Bingo, so players are able to hold accounts at both sites simultaneously, subject to each site's own new-customer bonus eligibility rules.

Moon Bingo: standard network infrastructure

Wink Slots: the sibling without bingo rooms

Wink Slots is the official slots-only companion to Wink Bingo, sharing the Wink brand name and operating under the same Broadway Gaming Ireland DF Limited account. It was originally launched by 888 Holdings in 2016 as a reels-first counterpart to the bingo site, and Broadway Gaming took over both brands as part of its 2022 Dragonfish acquisition. Unlike every other brand covered in this article, Wink Slots has no bingo rooms at all — it is built entirely around slot games and casino-style content, drawing on providers including NetEnt, Eyecon, and Evolution Gaming. Players who registered accounts during the 888 era should be aware that self-exclusion scope has broadened: rather than covering only the former 888 portfolio, exclusions now extend across the full Broadway Gaming Dragonfish network. Payment methods, the £10 minimum deposit threshold, and account structure otherwise match Wink Bingo, though Wink Slots and Wink Bingo are held as fully separate accounts.

Bid Bingo and Booty Bingo: the smaller siblings

Bid Bingo and Booty Bingo are both smaller, ticket-focused brands sitting within the same Broadway Gaming Ireland DF Limited portfolio and account as Wink Bingo. Bid Bingo offers 75-ball and 90-ball rooms plus a Swedish bingo variant for added variety, alongside a modest slots and instant games selection; reviewer commentary describes it as offering slightly more room variety than some network siblings, albeit with a plainer visual presentation. Booty Bingo runs the same standard 90-ball and 75-ball formats, shares networked jackpot pools, and draws on the same slot providers as the rest of the network. Both brands carry the £10 minimum deposit, the same payment method set, and identical responsible gambling tools as Wink Bingo, and both are supported by the same centralised Broadway Gaming team based in Dublin.

Licensing and safety review

It's worth noting that individual brand-level UKGC licence numbers, separate from the operator account number, are not published as discrete numeric strings in the primary UKGC register interface. Every reference to '58267' throughout this article refers specifically to the operator account number as stated by Wink Bingo itself and corroborated by independent review sources. No standalone licence number has been verified for any individual sister brand, and none is fabricated here — where such detail is unavailable, it is marked as not publicly confirmed.

Bonus terms: read the fine print at each brand

Bonus offers vary meaningfully across the network and change frequently, so any figures cited in reviews — including in this article — should be treated as a snapshot rather than a permanent guarantee. Wagering requirements differ between bingo bonus and games bonus components, expiry windows commonly range from 5 to 7 days, and minimum deposits are consistently set at £10 across the network. A recurring theme across independent reviews of Wink Bingo itself is a multi-option welcome structure — for example, a bingo bonus code, a free spins code, and a games bonus code offered as alternatives at registration, each carrying different wagering multiples. Sister sites like Costa Bingo and 888 Ladies follow a broadly similar multi-tier promotional pattern, though the specific codes, percentages, and caps differ by brand. Because all these brands sit under the same UKGC account, UK licence conditions restrict how 'new customer' status can be applied. In practice, this means that claiming a new-customer welcome offer at one brand on account 58267 may affect your eligibility for new-customer status at another brand on the same account. Players intending to register at multiple sister sites should read each site's specific terms carefully rather than assuming full independence between promotional entitlements.

Payments and account management

Payment infrastructure is consistent across the entire confirmed sister site list: Visa debit card, Mastercard debit card, PayPal, Apple Pay, and bank transfer are all accepted, with deposits credited instantly and at no cost to the player. The minimum deposit and withdrawal threshold across the network is £10. Withdrawal processing times are not instant and vary by method — PayPal withdrawals typically take around 4 to 5 business days, debit card withdrawals around 4 to 7 business days, and bank transfers can take up to 7 to 10 business days. Some reviews of Wink Bingo cite even longer total withdrawal windows of 6 to 11 working days when factoring in processing queues, and slower-than-expected cashouts, particularly around weekends, are a recurring theme in player feedback across the network. KYC identity verification — typically photo ID such as a passport or driving licence, plus proof of address — may be requested either at registration or before a first withdrawal is processed. This requirement is standard across UKGC-licensed operators and is applied consistently across every brand on account 58267. Support across the network is centralised through the same Broadway Gaming team, with live chat commonly available across extended hours (some reviews cite roughly 10am to 2am daily for Wink Bingo) and no dedicated phone support line identified in available sources.

Responsible gambling controls across the network

Because every confirmed sister site sits on the same UKGC account, responsible gambling tools are implemented consistently across the group. These include deposit limits set on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period before any increase to those limits takes effect, in-session game time reminders (commonly triggered at 30, 60, and 90-minute intervals), and a take-a-break function allowing players to pause their account from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. Full self-exclusion is also available directly through account settings, typically for periods of 6 months, 1 year, or longer.

How Wink Bingo compares with bingo sites outside the Broadway network

Players comparing Wink Bingo against bingo brands entirely outside the Broadway Gaming Dragonfish family will find useful comparison points by looking at other major UK operators' own sister-site structures. For example, readers researching Sky Bingo sister sites or Sky Vegas sister sites will see a different operator entirely, with its own distinct licence account and platform provider, illustrating how bingo brand families can differ substantially in scale and structure even when they appear similarly themed to casual browsers. Similarly, those interested in the 888 Holdings legacy that once owned Wink Bingo, Costa Bingo, and 888 Ladies before the 2022 sale may find it useful to review 888 Casino sister sites, which covers the brands that remained with 888 Holdings after the Dragonfish bingo assets were sold to Broadway Gaming. Readers weighing up major bookmaker-linked gaming ecosystems may also find William Hill Vegas sister sites a useful contrast point, given its entirely separate operator and licensing structure.

Verdict: which sister site suits which player

For players who already enjoy Wink Bingo's room structure and slot library, 888 Ladies is the most natural first alternative to try, given its flagship status within the network and its slightly more polished interface according to multiple reviewers. Players who value free-to-play access before committing real money may prefer Costa Bingo, given its consistently active zero-stake room schedule. Those seeking a stronger community feel might gravitate toward Sing Bingo, while Moon Bingo offers the most standard, no-frills version of the shared Dragonfish experience. Bid Bingo suits players wanting extra room-format variety, including its Swedish bingo option, while Booty Bingo remains a solid, smaller-scale alternative with identical core infrastructure. Players who prefer slots over bingo rooms entirely should consider Wink Slots rather than any of the bingo-first brands. Because every one of these seven brands sits under the same UKGC account and the same operator, the fundamental safety profile is identical across the group — the meaningful differences lie in theme, room variety, and promotional structure rather than in regulatory protection. Players should always verify current bonus terms, payment processing times, and self-exclusion scope directly on each site before registering or depositing, since these details are updated periodically and are subject to change independent of this review.
