Sky Bingo: operator and licence

Who runs Sky Bingo

Sky Bingo is run by Bonne Terre Gaming Limited, which holds Gambling Commission account 65519. Bonne Terre is the licensing company used by Sky Betting & Gaming, the Leeds-based business behind the Sky-branded gambling products, and Sky Betting & Gaming has been owned by Flutter Entertainment since 2020.

The gambling business is separate from the Sky broadcaster and operates under its own Commission licence. When you open a Sky Bingo account, your contract is with Bonne Terre Gaming Limited, and that is the company responsible to the regulator for how the site handles your money, identity checks and complaints. Our glossary entry on the operator explains the distinction between a brand and the company behind it.

This profile is neutral. We don’t partner with Sky Bingo, so we don’t describe its current offers or link to the site. See our brands directory for other profiles.

Sky Bingo licence on the UKGC register

Here is what the register entry for Bonne Terre Gaming Limited (opens in a new tab) showed when we checked on 20 October 2026.

The 2024 Sky Bingo licence change explained

If you have played at Sky Bingo for a few years, you may have seen a different account number in older footers. Sky Betting & Gaming’s gambling sites were previously licensed to Bonne Terre Limited, account 38718. The register now shows the new company, Bonne Terre Gaming Limited, licensed from 18 November 2024, and the old account 38718 (opens in a new tab) with its licences surrendered on 31 October 2025.

The register doesn’t give reasons for licence moves, and the overlap of almost a year suggests a planned transfer rather than a break in licensing. For you, the practical points are simple: the company name in the terms should now read Bonne Terre Gaming Limited, and any regulatory history from before the move sits on the old account rather than the new one. Our page on rebranded casinos explains how to read licence changes like this.

Sky Bingo sister sites and the Flutter group

Three other Sky brands share Sky Bingo’s licence: Sky Vegas, Sky Casino and Sky Poker. Sky Bet, the sportsbook, belongs to the same Sky Betting & Gaming business. Above that sits Flutter Entertainment, the group that also owns brands such as Paddy Power and Betfair.

• Sky Vegas: slots-led casino brand, on account 65519.
• Sky Casino: table games and live dealer focus, on account 65519.
• Sky Poker: poker brand on the same licence.
• Paddy Power and Betfair: Flutter brands licensed through separate companies.

Sister brands on one licence often share account settings. If you self-exclude through Sky Bingo, ask whether it covers Sky Vegas and Sky Casino too, and check whether holding an account at one Sky brand affects a new-customer offer at another. Our sister sites guide covers the general rules.

Rules that matter at a multi-product brand like Sky Bingo

Because the Sky family spans bingo, casino, poker and sports betting, two recent UK rules are especially relevant to Sky Bingo players.

Marketing consent by product, since 1 May 2025

Operators offering more than one type of gambling must let you opt in to marketing separately for betting, casino and bingo, and separately for email, SMS and phone. Opting out is the default. So you can agree to hear about bingo games by email while refusing casino or sports texts. Existing customers were asked to confirm preferences at their first log-in after the rule started. Our marketing consent rules page explains the details.

No mixed-product promotions, since 19 January 2026

A promotion can no longer cover more than one gambling product. Offers such as ‘bet on football to unlock bingo tickets’ or ‘play bingo to get slot spins’ are not allowed. Each bonus must stand on its own, and any wagering is capped at 10x, so a £5 bingo bonus can require no more than £50 of play. See the mixed-product promotions ban and our cross-selling rules explainer.

How UK game rules apply to Sky Bingo

Bingo is treated differently from slots and casino tables in the UK’s technical rules. The 5-second minimum game cycle introduced on 17 January 2025 for non-slot casino games doesn’t apply to bingo, and the £5 and £2 per-spin stake limits apply to online slots, not bingo tickets. Those limits do apply to any slots you play inside the Sky Bingo lobby.

Our guides to online bingo and 75-ball bingo explain game formats, ticket prices and how prizes are shared when more than one player wins.

Safer gambling at Sky Bingo

Sky Bingo must offer deposit limits, time-outs, reality checks and self-exclusion, and since 31 October 2025 it must prompt new players to set a financial limit before the first deposit. Lowering a limit takes effect at once. The operator also takes part in GAMSTOP (opens in a new tab), so one registration blocks Sky Bingo, every Sky brand and all other GB-licensed sites.

Bingo has a social feel, with chat rooms and community games, which can make sessions run longer than planned. A reality check or session reminder helps; our guide to time-outs explains short breaks. For support, the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133 is free and open 24/7.

How to check Sky Bingo’s licence

1. Open Sky Bingo’s terms or footer and note the licensee name and account number.
2. Enter 65519 in the search box on the Gambling Commission’s business register.
3. Check that Bonne Terre Gaming Limited is Active for remote bingo.
4. Open the domain names list and confirm the Sky Bingo address you are using appears.
5. If you see account 38718 quoted anywhere, treat it as out of date: those licences were surrendered on 31 October 2025.

Our guide on how to check a casino licence explains every tab on the register.

Sky Bingo complaints and ADR

Start with Sky Bingo’s own complaints process. The operator has eight weeks to resolve a complaint, after which you can go to the free alternative dispute resolution provider named in its terms. The Commission’s guide to complaining about a gambling business (opens in a new tab) explains the route, and our complaints walkthrough covers evidence and timelines.

How Sky Bingo compares as a type of bingo site

Sky Bingo is a bingo brand inside a large multi-product group. That is different from a bingo specialist running many small brands, and from a casino site with a bingo tab added on.

Bingo, like every gambling product, costs players money over time. Set a budget first; our guide to setting a gambling budget shows how.

Sky Bingo alternatives we compare
