How our ‘Mobile Rating’ is calculated

Sites in this category are ranked according to the mobile rating score from their full OnlineBingo review. To calculate the number of stars awarded, we consider many factors of a site’s compatibility across a range of mobile and tablet devices.

We also consider the:

• Availability and quality of iOS and Android apps
• Consistency of the mobile experience with the desktop site
• Overall site speed and connection reliability
• Depth of content available to registered and non-registered players
• Safety and security of the lobby and game areas
• Design and usability of site on all devices

It is still possible for a mobile slots, bingo or casino site to score highly, even without any dedicated mobile phone apps, if the design and functionality of the desktop site adapts automatically to smaller screens. The exact reasons for our ratings can be found within the body of any full site review.

Many free bingo no deposit games allow you to win real money prizes when you sign up on any device, but keep an eye out for apparently 'free to play' brands that rely on in-app purchases for revenue.

The different types of mobile bingo sites

With such a vast selection of handsets, makes and models of phone available, you may occasionally be served different mobile experiences from the same brand. The extent of these changes often varies depending on the software provider used and wider site network.

Here’s what to look out for:

Responsive websites: A ‘responsive’ website changes its layout and content based on the device used to access it. The site is still essentially one single page (or collection of pages) - it just adapts how it looks to the user.

Separate mobile websites: Dedicated mobile sites are completely disconnected from their desktop counterparts and do not require any downloads. A separate mobile website can usually be identified by the URL, which will typically begin m. or mobile.

Separate mobile lobby: Some bingo brands mix a responsive/mobile site for non logged-in users, with a separate site for logged-in members that contains just the bingo lobby. This is common on the Dragonfish platform, powered by 888.

Dedicated bingo apps: Downloadable software accessed through a phone’s app store or directly from a bingo site. Mobile apps generally offer a lobby-only experience, but do provide instant access to bingo at the touch of a button (or screen).

How to download bingo apps on Android

Restrictions put in place by Google mean that it’s not possible to download real money Android bingo apps directly from the Google Play store. You will instead need to locate the download link on a brand’s website.

In order to access paid gambling apps, you will need to change your phone or tablet’s security settings to allow the installation of applications from unknown sources.

To do this, simply locate the settings icon in your applications drawer, click ‘Security’ and select ‘Unknown sources’ from the list. You will probably receive a warning about the risks of bypassing the Play store which you will need to acknowledge and dismiss to continue with your download.

Please only download Android bingo apps from official, trustworthy sources to avoid harming your device and to ensure the safety of your personal data.

How to download iOS bingo apps for your iPhone or iPad

Apple takes a more relaxed attitude to gambling apps in its app store. It is therefore possible to find and download the latest bingo apps straight to your iPhone or iPad without having to adjust any settings.

Note that some larger tablets or those with high resolution retina screens, such as the iPad Pro, Galaxy Tab Pro or Microsoft Surface Pro, can support the full desktop versions of bingo sites without a problem.

You may wish to adjust your browser preferences to switch between the mobile and desktop experiences as a result.

Is your phone fast enough?

Most mobile bingo sites and apps should run on any modern smartphone without a problem. If you do encounter issues, try a few of our quick checks and fixes below:

Is your operating system up-to-date? Newer bingo and slot sites in the uk might not be backwards compatible with older software. Keep your phone updated with the latest version of iOS, Android or Windows to bypass many common bugs.

Check your specs: Do you know how much RAM your phone has? Or if it’s dual-core or quad-core? If you’re favourite bingo site or app is running slower than expected on your handset, it might be worth comparing its specifications to newer models.

The iPhone 7 Plus is powered by 3GB RAM, while the Samsung Galaxy S7 has 4GB. In comparison, the older iPhone 4 has just 512MB, making it six times slower than Apple’s current flagship. It might be time to treat yourself to an upgrade.

Out of storage space? Everything you download to your phone, whether it’s WhatsApp, Snapchat or Facebook, reduces the amount of internal storage you have available. Most modern smartphones ship with between 16GB and 64GB of space, while others allow you to add expandable memory as and when you need it.

Remember that camera photos, music and even text messages have to be stored somewhere. Try deleting what you don’t need to free up space for your new bingo or casino app.

Stay connected: How strong is your phone’s internet connection and how fast is your connection speed? A WiFi signal will often provide a quicker and more reliable connection than mobile data.

3G or 4G SIM card services are great when travelling but beware that reception can drop spontaneously depending on your location. Still struggling? Try changing your default mobile browser to Chrome, Safari or Opera.
