Sun Bingo surprised many people in 2008 when after building up a hugely successful bingo site with Tombola they upped sticks and took up residence on a new site powered by Jackpotjoy. It was a huge risk as essentially they were starting again from a scratch as players had to re-register with the new site. The old site becoming what is now Tombola.
The aim of the new Sun Bingo was to make sure that their players had similar features including 90 ball, 80 ball and 75 ball bingo. In addition some fun games like Whack-a-moley and WAGS shopping spree were also included. As the site has grown Bargain Bingo, Snap (a kind of poker game) and slots have become part of the site too.
New players are offered a matched deposit bonus and there are regular promotions, some which coincide with The Sun newspaper. For example free bingo games were offered to players who had a code from the newspaper bingo card games! That said since their initial launch competition where a £250,000 house was given away, The Sun Bingo have been pretty Scrooge like when it comes down to giveaways and promotions.
Overall though it's a good bingo site, as you'd expect as it's powered by Jackpotjoy. Note that The Sun Bingo is independent of JPJ and offers different games, bingo rooms, jackpots etc. There's a good range of games and plenty to suit all pockets - pretty much like Tombola, which does beg the question was the move really worth it?
The good news for bingo players is that they now have two good bingo sites to choose from instead of one!
