When looking for an online Bingo hall to play, finding one run by a company that has a long and venerable tradition in betting might not be uppermost in the minds of many would-be players. However, if you are new to the whole phenomenon of Internet Bingo and feel more comfortable playing with a name you know, few come with such an excellent heritage as Littlewoods. Originally founded in the UK as Littlewoods Pools over eighty years ago, this company has a rock-solid reputation for its real-world betting operations, a reputation it has effortlessly carried over to its flourishing Internet betting business in recent years. Having established that this is the kind of Bingo operator that you could happily take home to meet your mother, is it also a Bingo Gigolo sexy enough to have you falling for a long-term relationship with it’s 90-ball game? We went on a date to find out.
First impressions of Littlewoods Bingo are very good. You’re met by a quick loading, welcoming website that hasn’t gone mad with over-the-top animations competing for your attention (something we find just plain distracting!). Whilst we won’t be rushing to redecorate WhichBingoHall Towers with the green and purple colour scheme, it’s all pretty easy on the eye and the layout is a triumph of good design and simplicity - comparing the tasks of using Littlewoods Bingo site with falling off a log we’d say that falling off a log is marginally more difficult. This is all great news for newcomers to online Bingo, however more seasoned players of the Internet game may get a sense of déjà vu at Littlewoods and there is a reason for this as we shall explain.

Littlewoods Bingo is presented in partnership with St.Minver, a name well-known to aficionados of 90-ball Bingo as it has developed a huge online network of Bingo players accessed and shared by several different companies (e.g. Butlins Bingo, Virgin Bingo and Chit Chat Bingo to name three). The popularity of this network is a testament to the quality of the online Bingo experience St. Minver’s Parlay software delivers. The non-download onscreen console you use to play and chat with here is very easy to work, and offers useful options to let you tailor its settings to suit you. There’s currently only 90-ball Bingo available in this network but, as mentioned earlier, its round-the-clock sessions have proved to be very popular, the upshot of which is that there are tons of people to socialise with in the chatrooms and the progressive jackpot games in the schedule build very tasty prizes to play for too. The downside – if you wish to think of it as such – is that playing Littlewoods Bingo is actually little different from playing online Bingo at one of the other sites that are partnered with St. Minver. Returning to the sense of déjà vu about the Littlewoods’ site, there’s a clearly shared set of facilities and ‘look and feel’ with other St. Minver powered sites and so, if you’ve already played another hall on this network, you’ll either find this comfortingly familiar or annoyingly similar. Our view? We can understand why Littlewoods has chosen to use St. Minver’s software and network as it really offers excellent Bingo, but we think it could customise its site a little more to offer an experience that’s truly distinctive from its rivals that also use the same ‘engine’.
Aside from the main attraction of Bingo itself, Littlewoods Bingo is also home to some fun casino-style games to dabble with and actively promotes the building of friendships through its ‘Community’ facilities and team Bingo games. Half the fun of Bingo is the socialising so it’s good to see Littlewoods isn’t doing this by halves!

If you’ve read this far and think Littlewoods is the one for you, you’ll find joining up to play there’s nice and straightforward with lots of well-signposted customer support to help answer any queries you have, or dig you out of trouble if you get stuck. We had no complaints with the swift and friendly service we received when we made contact to answer some daft, and not-so-daft, questions in the ‘we’re new to this online Bingo mullarkey’ stylee. Joining Littlewoods also entitles you to a free £1 credit in your player account which, at the delightfully cheap entrance price of 10p a card, allows you the chance to play up to ten sessions for free – definitely better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick and undoubtedly a great way to try out Littlewoods’ online Bingo wares ‘on the house’! Choose to deposit some of your own money to play with and Littlewoods will match the first amount you put into your account pound-for-pound up to £125, which makes for a nice welcome bonus, and one very competitive with its major rivals in the online Bingo scene.
Providing you’re not looking for the option of American-style 75-ball Bingo in your list of must-have features, Littlewoods makes a great choice of UK online Bingo hall to plump for. Being part of the St. Minver network does mean it’s not the most unique venue and Bingo experience on the Internet, but the sessions are excellent fun, the crowd friendly and (returning to our opening thought) if you get peace-of-mind by playing Bingo with a company that’s got a longstanding reputation for its integrity, then Littlewoods is a purveyor of fine online Bingo that will put joy in your heart and your mind at ease!
