Sun Bingo

The Story of Sun Bingo

The Sun Bingo is another gaming site that has the backing of a huge newspaper corporation. Founded in 1964 and a product coming from Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation, The Sun has the second biggest readership in the United Kingdom after the Daily Mail. The Sun Bingo then looks to capitalise on this vast number of readers, trying to attract them to their bingo service. It was re-launched by platform operator Gamesy in 2008 and has since become one of the most decorated online bingo services. The website was previously operated by Tombola.

According to the Sun Bingo website, their brand of bingo won the BingoPort award for Best Overall Bingo Site in 2013 as well as scooping a prize for the Best Online Bingo Promotion. A year later at the Which Bingo ceremony they would take home the gongs for the Best Online Bingo TV Ad and the Best Online Bingo Chat Team. The Sun Bingo's chat team would be awarded again this year, taking home a similar prize at the BingoPort awards ceremony. New customers should always bear in mind a company's reputation before registering with them, the Sun Bingo's being first class amongst their peers.

Both the acclaim lauded upon the Sun Bingo and the publicity opportunities afforded in their sister newspaper have had a fantastic effect on the brand. The Sun Bingo now claims to be 'one of the United Kingdom's biggest bingo sites'. This is quite some feat after just under seven years in operation. Is this title deserved and should you grace the website with your presence? We tested out the site to see all the advantages of being a registered user!
