A long standing name in Bingo, Mecca Bingo operates both online and offline Bingo halls from its base in the United Kingdom. Originally established in 1961, Mecca Bingo was purchased by The Rank Group in the 1990s and is now one of the top Bingo web sites in the world. In the United Kingdom alone, the Mecca Bingo franchise boasts more than 117 locations and an excess of 5 million regular players. Mecca Bingo hosts a £10,000 jackpot for players on their site every day and special bonuses on Thursdays and Sundays with £75, £100 and £12,000 jackpots.
Mecca Bingo Game Play
The game play at Mecca Bingo is designed to allow players to automate their play through automatic card marking and Bingo calls. You can choose to mark the cards yourself if you wish. In addition, Mecca Bingo also allows players to choose their cards when purchasing rather than being bound by a set of cards. However, Mecca Bingo does not automatically sort your best Bingo cards from your worst during game play. So, if you have a card that is close to a Bingo, it will not be highlighted or brought forward from the rest of your cards.
The software at Mecca Bingo is powered by Virtue Fusion, an Alderney based company, and features a major color scheme of pink, blue and yellow. When playing a game, you can see the numbers that have already been called and the available numbers through a screen at the top right. In addition, your Bingo cards are situated in the bottom right of the page.
If you happen to win a Bingo, a pop up is activated that shows you the card that won, the specific winning combination of numbers and the total pay out for the winning card. During each game, you can also access a chat feature to the left to talk with other players in the game, view the current jackpot and make a game selection.
Mecca Bingo Bonuses
The current deposit bonus on Mecca Bingo is a 100% match up to a maximum of £50. Although it is listed on the web site as a free play bonus, it is actually a match bonus as it works in the following way:
Sign up as a real money player at Mecca Bingo.
Make a deposit that is at least £5.
Spend an amount of money equal to your initial deposit on the web site.
The bonus is immediately debited to your account.
So, the bonus at Mecca Bingo actually works as a credited wagering requirement. As soon as the bonus is credited to your account, it is available for use. However, you must meet the wagering requirement before the bonus is awarded. You have a total of 60 days to meet the bonus eligibility requirements after the first deposit. The bonus is not available for withdrawal. However, any money won using the bonus is available as cash.
