Bingo has been a beloved pastime in Ireland and throughout the world for many decades. In recent years, the game’s online popularity has skyrocketed, accelerated in no small part by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Welcome Offers
Let’s start by looking at the current bingo welcome offer available from William Hill. The first thing to mention is that, if you go to the William Hill bingo homepage, a banner at the top of the page will scroll through all of the current offers and promotions. This would be the easiest way of quickly seeing what sorts of offers are available to you right at this moment. This tip applies to all of the games and sportsbooks on the William Hill website, not just the bingo section.
The most prominent current bingo welcome offer is their Luck o’ the Irish new customer offer of €20 Free Welcome Bonus. All you need to do is sign up, click ‘opt in’, and play the relevant game (Luck o’ the Irish: Go for Gold). This offer appears to be ongoing indefinitely throughout 2023.
William Hill’s current flagship welcome offer is not bingo-related, but it is a big one and so warrants mentioning. Currently, new users can use the promotional code S10 while signing up to access the Big William Hill Fortune offer. This gives users 200 free spins on this game if they stake €10.
Daily Offers
Users can elect to take part in William Hill’s Bonus Drop once per day. This gives players the chance to win free spins on a variety of games, or straight cash prizes.
Other Offers
William Hill’s current weekly On The House bingo offer expires in two days, so hurry if you are interested! It requires an opt-in and stake of €5, and in return, you get one hour’s worth of free bingo game time, with a maximum pot size of €25 per game.
William Hill reward loyalty, with certain rewards and bonuses becoming available to players who make consistent use of William Hill bingo.
On the bingo section of their website, William Hill gives the following summary list of the various bingo offers available:
- “Daily chances to win prizes, ranging from free spins to bonuses

Games
Game types
Online bingo at William Hill has a plethora of gaming options available – enough to satiate any appetite for bingo. Many different rooms exist for all of the following, standard types of bingo:
- “75 Ball Bingo played on a 5×5 card with the letters B-I-N-G-O across the top
- 80 Ball Bingo played on a 4×4 card with numbers between 1 and 80
- 90 Ball Bingo the classic, best-known format of online bingo”
William Hill also offer an appealing range of thematically diverse and colourful bingo game types, some of which are atypical, and some of which are actually unique to William Hill. These are the most popular examples:
- “Community: come for the bingo, stay for the chat! There’s no shortage of friendly players.
- Bargain Basement: small prices, big prizes up for grabs, with tickets for as little as 1p and 2p!
- Deal or No Deal: bingo action with a Deal or No Deal twist!
- Bingo Bowl: bringing together bingo with ten-pin bowling, the aim is to knock down all your pins when a number is called!
- Rainbow Riches: our resident leprechaun will guide you towards the pot of gold!”
The above two lists are both taken verbatim from the bingo section of the William Hill website.
One charming feature of William Hill is that, as well as this cornucopia of automated digital games, more ‘real’ games with live readers are also constantly available. For those who want the most authentic bingo experience they can get without having to travel to an actual hall, this is our recommendation.
Apart from what we have listed, yet more options are available to those who may be interested in venturing towards less familiar variants of bingo. Many ‘slingo’ rooms are available to enjoy, as well as slots, megaways, and scratchcards.
