Wink Bingo: operator and licence

Wink Bingo at a glance: who runs the site

Wink Bingo is a bingo-led site with slots and casino games alongside. The company behind it is Broadway Gaming Ireland DF Limited, part of the Broadway Gaming group, with a head office in Dublin. The Gambling Commission’s register entry for Broadway Gaming Ireland DF Limited (opens in a new tab) shows account 58267, with remote bingo and remote casino licences both active since 23 February 2022.

That company is your contracting party. It holds your deposits, runs your identity checks and handles any complaint, whatever the Wink Bingo branding on screen. Our licence holder glossary entry explains the distinction, and the UK casino brands A–Z lists the other Broadway Gaming names.

Wink Bingo licence: dates and activities

The February 2022 date is when this particular company’s licences began. It doesn’t necessarily tell you how old the Wink Bingo brand is, because brands can move between licence holders over time. If a site you’ve used for years now shows a newer licence date, a change of operator is the usual explanation; our guide on rebranded casinos explains what happens to accounts when that occurs.

Wink Bingo sister sites on the same licence

The domain list for account 58267 (opens in a new tab) shows several bingo and casino brands run by the same company. Sister sites of Wink Bingo on this licence are:

Eight brands on one licence, Moon Bingo among them, makes this a sizeable network. The practical effects: a restriction or self-exclusion at one brand may apply at all of them, and new-customer offers may exclude anyone who already holds an account elsewhere on the network. Read our casino sister sites guide before opening a second account, and see can you have two accounts at the same casino for the rules on duplicates.

Broadway Gaming and the 2022 bingo deal

Broadway Gaming expanded in 2022. Trade press reported that 888 sold its mostly UK-based online bingo business to Broadway Gaming, through its subsidiary Saphalata Holdings, for $45.25m, with completion reported on 7 July 2022. The report we checked didn’t name the brands involved, so we haven’t confirmed whether Wink Bingo was part of that sale.

What the register does confirm is that Broadway Gaming Ireland DF Limited has held the licence for Wink Bingo’s domain since at least the dates shown, and that the account had no regulatory actions listed when we checked. For a wider view of how bingo brands have changed hands, see our guide to new casino brands from big groups.

How UK rules apply to Wink Bingo games

Bingo and slots sit under different licence types, and the rules differ in places. Here’s what applies to each product at a site like Wink Bingo:

The mixed-product ban, in force since 19 January 2026, matters most for bingo networks. Before then, a common offer was “buy bingo tickets, get slot spins”. That’s no longer allowed. Our bingo bonus guide explains what bingo promotions look like now, and the 90-ball bingo page covers the most popular UK format.

A worked example: a bingo bonus under the 10x cap

Suppose a bingo site offers a £10 bingo bonus with wagering. Under the cap that began on 19 January 2026, the most it can ask is 10x, so £100 of bingo tickets before the bonus converts. If tickets cost 10p, that’s 1,000 tickets. Before 2026, bingo bonuses often carried higher multiples, which meant far more play to release the same £10.

The cap limits the amount you must play, not the cost. Every game still has a built-in margin, so the expected value of a bonus is lower than its face value. Our wagering calculator lets you test any offer, and how wagering requirements work explains the maths.

How to check Wink Bingo on the Gambling Commission register

1. Find the company name and account number in the Wink Bingo footer.
2. Search account 58267 on the Commission’s public register (opens in a new tab).
3. Confirm the record is for Broadway Gaming Ireland DF Limited with active remote bingo and casino licences.
4. Open the domain names tab and check the Wink Bingo address you use is listed as active.
5. Look at the regulatory actions tab for anything added since 20 October 2026.

Safer gambling tools at Wink Bingo

As a licensee, Broadway Gaming must offer Wink Bingo players deposit limits, time-outs, reality checks and self-exclusion, and must take part in GAMSTOP. Since 31 October 2025, it must also prompt you to set a financial limit before your first deposit. We haven’t reviewed the account menus, so check its responsible gambling pages for the exact options, and ask whether a self-exclusion covers all eight brands on the licence.

Bingo sessions can run long, especially with chat games and scheduled jackpots. Our gambling budget guide suggests a simple weekly plan. For free support, the National Gambling Helpline is open 24/7 on 0808 8020 133 through GamCare (opens in a new tab), and our signs of problem gambling guide explains what to look out for.

Deposits, withdrawals and ID checks at a bingo site

We don’t hold verified details of Wink Bingo’s payment methods, minimum deposit or payout times, so check its cashier. UK rules set the baseline: no credit cards (since 14 April 2020), no reverse withdrawals (since 31 October 2021), and no confiscation of funds for missing a verification deadline. A light public-record financial vulnerability check runs once net deposits pass £150 in 30 days. Our casino verification documents guide explains what you may be asked for.

UK-licensed alternatives to Wink Bingo

We don’t list Wink Bingo offers because we only promote offers we’ve checked and dated. None of our partners is a bingo-first site, so the closest options are casino offers. Coral gives new players 100 spins worth 10p each when they deposit and bet £10 on slots; spins must be accepted within 48 hours and used within 7 days, winnings carry no wagering, and some payment methods, including PayPal and prepaid cards, don’t qualify.

PlayOJO offers new UK customers outside Northern Ireland 80 spins on Big Bass Bonanza at 10p each with a first deposit of £10 or more, and spin winnings are paid in cash. Casumo adds a 50% bonus up to £100 to a first deposit of £20 or more, wagered 10x within 7 days with a £5 maximum bet. 18+, terms apply. Our PlayOJO review covers its terms and licence.
