Overview
Launched in March 2018 as a revamped replacement for the Rehab Bingo brand, Rosy Bingo has been gaining positive reviews from bingo aficionados across the UK. Engaging to look at, Rosy Bingo is operated by Broadway Gaming, a company with some notable other bingo brands like Glossy Bingo.
The big choice of bingo games and casino slots at Rosy Bingo are powered by Microgaming, an industry leader in both bingo and casino. New players can also get a generous welcome bonus, as well as access to lots of great promos when they join.
Safety and Trustworthiness
As mentioned, the Rosy Bingo site is operated by Broadway Gaming – one of the biggest names in the online bingo industry. Does being part of a big company mean that a bingo brand is more trustworthy? Not necessarily, but we are happy to report that Rosy Bingo comes out with top marks when it comes to trust and safety. For other trusted and safe bingo sites, read our safety guide.
Of course, the most important aspect for you as a bingo player is to play with the knowledge that the games are fair. All Broadway Gaming sites have received a certificate from eCOGRA, an independent body which tests online games for randomness and fairness in terms of player payouts. You can find a link to the latest eCOGRA reports at the bottom of the Rosy Bingo homepage.
Rosy Bingo is licensed by the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) and by the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) for those playing outside of the UK. Only sites that comply with these regulators standards on player safety can be awarded these licenses.
All your financial transactions (deposits and withdrawals) are secured using 128-bit SSL (Secure Socket Layer) digital encryption. All servers used by Rosy Bingo are protected by up-to-date firewall technology.
Deposits & Withdrawals
A fair range of methods are available for UK players to deposit and withdraw at Rosy Bingo. These include: VISA, MasterCard, Maestro, Skrill, Neteller and Paysafecard. The minimum amount to deposit for all methods is £10. One big omission is being able to deposit and withdrawal via PayPal – a must for any serious UK operator.
The same methods are available for withdrawal, with the only exception being that you cannot withdraw to Paysafecard. The minimum withdrawal amount is £20. There is a maximum withdrawal amount of £10,000 per day, although this excludes one-off progressive jackpot wins.
Withdrawals are processed every weekday, so they can take up to three days if ever requested over the weekend. Generally, cashing out during the week will see your winnings on their way back to you within 24 hours.
Bonuses and Promotions
Rosy Bingo has launched a New Player Welcome Bonus of £30 when you make a deposit of £10. A couple of things should be made known to you:
- The bonus funds need to be wagered 40 times in the casino before withdrawal.
- Bonus cash is removed from accounts after two days, so make sure you have plenty of free time to play.
- Bingo does not count towards wagering requirements for the bonus cash. (Slots = 100%, other casino games = 8%).
While the bingo bonus at Rosy Bingo is on a par with many other bingo sites (other sites rarely offer no deposit bingo bonus), the range of other promotions comes in well above average. A flavour of the bingo promotions on offer right now:
- £500K of Summer Promo: Rosy Bingo has ½ million pounds worth of prizes to give away from 1st June – 31st Prizes on offer range from new cars to state-of-the-art BBQs.
- World Cup Leaderboard: more prizes on offer during the FIFA World Cup. Simply wager on games to earn rewards, including free bonus cash.
- Broadway Room JPGOT2GO: £1000 guaranteed jackpot each day in the Broadway Room.
In addition, you will find a bunch of promotions geared towards players who play and deposit regularly. These include loyalty points, which can be exchanged for cash to play bingo, but also free spins and bonus cash for the casino. There are lots of nice personal rewards, including a Birthday Bonus, which can be unlocked throughout the year. As you play and deposit, you can move up from Bronze, through Silver and Gold, to Rosy Bingo Platinum (VIP) Level status. You will access greater rewards and benefits as you progress

Game Selection
As mentioned, Rosy Bingo is exclusively powered by the Microgaming Bingo Network. As Microgaming are specialists in both bingo software and casino games, a nice sense of connectivity runs throughout the Rosy Bingo site. This means you will have unique bingo rooms, such as the Immortal Romance Room, based on some of Microgaming’s smash-hit slots, but also access rewards free slot spins in the Spinner Room.
90-ball bingo is heavily featured on the site, found in the Broadway Room and Chips & Giggles Room. 75-ball bingo fans can find cheap games in the Mad Hatter Room. Chat and Speed Bingo games are also available. The basics for a UK bingo site is covered but we’d like to see some other varieties offered such as 80, 30 and 5 line bingo.
The selection of casino games and slots is extensive though for a bingo site(just under 300 in total) and acts as something of a showcase for Microgaming’s ‘greatest hits’. You will find top-rated slots, such as Thunderstruck II, Game of Thrones and Lucky Leprechaun all available to play instantly. Fans of traditional casino games can enjoy titles like Classic Blackjack Gold, Jacks or Better Poker and American Roulette. If you want to shoot for the big jackpot, you can play progressive games like Major Millions and Mega Moolah Isis.

Mobile App
There currently is no mobile app available for Rosy Bingo on iOS or Android (which is similar to Heart Bingo). However, like a growing number of other gaming sites, it really is not much of a problem as the site is highly mobile-responsive. Put simply, you can enjoy all the great elements of Rosy Bingo on your mobile or tablet without any need to download the app. Indeed, all the same bingo games and rooms are open to you on the mobile site. Moreover, Microgaming has gained a reputation for seamless crossover from desktop to mobile for their award-winning slots so mobile players will easily find Rosy a reliable mobile bingo option.
Support
Rosy Bingo offers support 24/7 and there’s also email for less pressing problems
Review Summary
Rosy Bingo is a good site, one that we’re happy to recommended to new and experienced bingo players alike. The big gaps namely, native apps for iPhones and Android, PayPal payments and more types of games do need to be ‘filled’ though. In addition whilst Rosy Bingo could do more to advertise all its promos and benefits as there are plenty on offer. Someone new to the site has to do a bit more digging than is ideal. Still, that means you can get a pleasant surprise or two when hunting through the dedicated rewards and promotions tabs.
There is much to admire about Rosy Bingo, notably a decent Welcome Bonus to get you started, a pleasant use of colour and jazzy visual elements and a good level of customer service. Definitely worth checking out.
