New Bingo Sites UK for January 2026

Bingo Britain first went live in 2007 and is now back with a fresh look and modern software.

What's the story?

Bingo Britain is operated by Palatial Leisure, the company behind Palace Bingo and Palace Casino clubs in Great Yarmouth, Gorleston and other locations. It's a properly British-owned brand with land-based roots—something increasingly rare in a market dominated by offshore operators.

In late December 2025, Bingo Britain relaunched on Pragmatic Play bingo software. In January 2026, it was added to Glitzy Bingo's checked list of UKGC-licensed bingo brands, with exclusive Palatial rooms highlighted in the full review.

Why it matters

For players who want an online bingo-first experience with a proper British identity, Bingo Britain is worth a look. We'll be watching closely to see if it delivers on the promise of rooms, community and simple offers—everything we said bingo needed more of in our 2025 roundup.

Heart Bingo is one of the first Playtech Bingo sites to make the switch. From 5th January 2026, they're ditching their free spins welcome offer and launching a proper bingo welcome bonus instead.

As a UK bingo player, I absolutely hate the fishing offers. Big Bass Bonanza is decent if slots are your thing, but when I sign up to a bingo site, I want bingo. This is the first of many brands to change their offers.

From 19 January 2026, UK gambling sites must keep bonuses single-product and much easier to understand. Bingo sites now have to offer bingo bonuses (not slots or sports in disguise), and wagering is capped at 10x the bonus amount – so a £10 bonus means at most £100 of wagering, not 30x–50x hoops you'll never clear.

For years I stopped listing most "bingo" promos on Glitzy because they were just slot ladders with bingo branding; these changes are the first in a long time that actually feel player-friendly.

What's changing

• No more mixed-product offers: each bonus must relate to one product only (bingo bonus for bingo play, casino for casino, etc.).
• 10x wagering cap: no more blended, inflated wagering spread across multiple products.
• Plain-English terms: key conditions must be shown clearly, not buried in small print.

What this means for players

• More honest welcome deals on bingo-branded sites.
• Less pressure to cross-sell you into slots or sports you didn't ask for.
• Simpler wagering maths so you can quickly see if an offer is worth it.
