About
Foxy Bingo has been around since 2005 and since then has undergone a number of changes. Originally owned by Cashcade, the brand was sold to Partygaming in 2009 but continued to be powered by the Dragonfish product. In November 2018 they moved to software provider Cozy Games which was subsequently acquired by ElectraWorks. Whilst a well-known and trusted brand, it’s lost its way over recent years.

Welcome Offer
It’s not an offer that has many different facets to it. There is no games bonus or free spins for new players to this brand. It’s a straight percentage match bonus but it’s a whopping 400% bingo bonus so not to be sniffed at. This means with a £10 deposit and spend, you will receive £40 in extra free bonus money. As if that wasn’t already enough, they will also throw in 40 free spins on top.
There’s no free bingo for newbies to complement the bonus either; that’s all you’re going to get.
Wagering Requirements
Unlike most bingo bonuses that are awarded at the point of deposit, this site insists that you wager your original deposit BEFORE the match bonus will be awarded. At least then they have you tied in to meet their wagering requirements!
These are 4x the amount of the bingo bonus and 10x on any free spin winnings. After all, they can expect you to meet wagering on your deposit after it had to be spent before the bonus is released.
Other stipulations are that the wagering has to be met within 14 days of it being credited to your account or it will be removed.
Withdrawals can only be processed if wagering has been met on the bonus or they are from real cash winnings.
Deposit and Withdrawal
Foxy Bingo has quite the selection of depositing options to choose from. Whilst the most popular are debit cards and PayPal, they also offer Trustly (deposit straight from your bank account, Skrill, Skrill 1-Tap, Paysafecard, PromoCode, and MuchBetter.
The minimum deposit amount is typically £5:
- Debit cards
- Trustly
- Paypal
- Skrill 1-Tap – (cannot withdraw using this method)
- Skrill
- Paysafecard – (can only withdraw if you have a registered Paysafecard account)
- Promo Code – (cannot be used as a withdrawal method)
- MuchBetter
The minimum withdrawal amount that has been set by the site.
Promotions
When you head to the promotions page at this site, you will find details of any additional offers that they have to offer players. It’s not quite as impressive as it used to be and the offers aren’t as exciting as you might expect from such a well-known and established brands. This is just one of the things that have declined over the years.
Foxy Bingo tends to offer time-limited promotions so we haven’t been able to list any of the current deals but it is worth checking back from time to time though because occasionally they do roll out a decent deal or two.
In Foxy’s favour are the big money bingo jackpot games that they host and details of these can be found on the Foxy’s Jackpots page. Additionally, they offer Foxy’s Perks too – a cashback promo.
Bingo and Slots Games
If you’re a bingo fan, rather than slots, then this site will hold appeal to you because you’re not limited to just your bog-standard 75 and 90 ball offerings.
Of course, both 75 and 90 ball are available but these are complemented with 30 and 80 ball games too. They even have a Friends themed room!
When it comes to playing slot games on bingo sites you won’t be disappointed in what they have to offer under this heading either. Slingo Games and all the various titles are available to play alongside games from big-name developers like NetEnt, Eyecon, IGT, Novomatic, and others.
Contact Support
There’s quite an extensive array of options for contacting support at Foxy Bingo. Your first port of call when you visit the Contact Us page is the FAQ section. If you cannot find the answer to your question there, you have the option to indicate that the answer provided was not sufficient and then are offered the following choices:

Sister Sites
The best-known sister site of Foxy Bingo is Cheeky Bingo but there are also a number of other sites powered by ElectraWorks.
Although not powered by ElectraWorks software, the following similar websites are operated by the same parent company (GVC Holdings):
Bonus Codes
We don’t yet have exclusive Foxy Bingo codes to offer you but we are working on this.
Our advice if you like to get a little more bonus with your deposit is to ensure that you have signed up for marketing material for the brand. You can do this from the My Account section of the site if you didn’t at the point of registration.
Foxy Bingo has been known to send bonus codes by email, especially if you’ve not played at the site for a little while.
TV Adverts
Foxy Bingo is the brand that has been most prolific when it comes to advertising on the small screen! It used to be that players and the industry as a whole were excited for the launch of the latest commercial from this brand.
However, once sold to PartyGaming things quickly changed, and whilst Foxy remains the mascot for the site, the player connection seems to have been lost since the Heather Graham being in the fox suit reveal.
With that said, Foxy Bingo is a name that even non-bingo players know thanks to great marketing from the original owners, Cashcade.
You can read more about many of the adverts for this brand on our Bingo TV ads Hall of Fame page.
The most recent television commercial from this brand (at the time of review – August 2020) is below:
As you can see, it doesn’t have the same fun factor as many of the earlier adverts from the brand.
Review Summary
Summary
If you had asked us to give a star rating on Foxy Bingo in around 2008, this would have been a brand that got a full 5 from us. However, so much has changed, and not for the better, that currently, it’s just scraping a 3.5. A large part of that score is based on the site’s longevity and branding rather than the overall gaming experience.
That said, there is plenty on offer and it is Foxy Bingo after all!
