Bingo networks
Ten of the fourteen sites we track run on one platform — what that means for the jackpot, the terms and the room you are sitting in
This page carries advertising. The “Visit site” buttons are affiliate links: when a reader opens an account through one, the operator pays us a commission. It costs the reader nothing. No operator pays for its position on this site, and none sees a page before it is published: the order follows the regulatory frame and the bingo on offer. How we review, and how we are paid.
What a network is
A bingo network is one piece of software running many brands. The operator licenses the platform, puts its own name and artwork on the front, and the rooms behind it are shared with every other brand on the same platform. When you sit in a room on one site you are often sitting with players from a dozen others.
This is not disclosed anywhere on the sites themselves, and it is the single most useful thing to understand about online bingo. It explains why the lobbies look alike, why the terms are identical across brands that appear unrelated, why a small site has busy rooms, and why switching sites in search of a different game often gets you the same game with a different logo.
Why the jackpot is shared
A jackpot has to be funded. A site with a few thousand players cannot put a million pounds behind a room on its own ticket sales — the arithmetic does not work at any ticket price people would pay. A network can, because every brand on it contributes a slice of every jackpot-room ticket to one pot.
Two consequences follow, and neither is on the banner. The prize is real and often large; a seeded jackpot is a contractual floor, so a room advertising a pot seeded above a million is making a statement that can be checked. And your odds are the network’s odds, not the room’s: you are competing with every player on every brand, which is a much larger field than the room in front of you suggests. A jackpot room is a lottery with a bingo interface, and it should be played as one.
The terms travel with the network
Because the platform handles the cashier, the bonus engine and the account, the terms tend to be the platform’s rather than the brand’s. On the Jumpman network that means the same £2.50 withdrawal fee, the same £10 minimum, the same pending period of up to seventy-two hours, the same ten-times playthrough and the same conversion cap tied to lifetime deposits — across brands with completely different names, artwork and marketing.
Practically: if you have had a bad experience with a withdrawal at one brand on a network, switching to another brand on the same network will not fix it. Looking up the licence number tells you whether two sites are on the same platform faster than reading either of them, because the licensee is the same company.
Who runs what
Jumpman Gaming is the network behind ten of the fourteen sites we track, operating more than a hundred and fifty British brands on Gambling Commission account 39175, licensed since November 2014 and owned by Super Group since September 2022. The bingo inside it is Pragmatic Play. Dove Bingo, Daily Record Bingo, Free Spins Bingo, Dove Slots, Aladdin Slots, Amazon Slots, Big Thunder Slots, Buffalo Spins, Crystal Slots, Express Wins and Incredible Spins are all on it.
Dragonfish, part of 888, ran a large share of British bingo through the 2010s and is where several of the sites in our archive of closed sites lived. Gamesys, Jumpman, Cozy Games and Pragmatic Play as a supplier are the names that turn up most on the remaining British market. 15Network is the name Jumpman uses for its own bingo network, and Dove Bingo is on it.
Sister sites
A sister site is another brand on the same licence. They matter in two ways that have nothing to do with the games. A self-exclusion at one operator normally covers all of that operator’s brands, which is why a self-exclusion list can look longer than the number of sites you joined. And a welcome offer is usually once per operator rather than once per brand, so registering at three Jumpman sites will not get you three welcome offers.
The quickest way to find a site’s sisters is the licence number on its card: open the Commission’s register entry and every domain under the account is listed. On Jumpman’s entry that list runs to three figures.

Questions readers ask
How do I know which network a bingo site is on?
Look up the licence number. The Gambling Commission’s public register names the licensee and lists every domain under the account, so two sites with the same licence number are on the same platform.
Are network jackpots real?
Yes. A seeded jackpot is a contractual minimum, so a room advertising a pot seeded above a million is committing to that floor. What the room does not tell you is that the field you are competing against is the whole network, not the room.
If I self-exclude at one site, am I excluded from its sisters?
Normally yes, across that operator’s brands. GAMSTOP goes further and covers every operator licensed in Britain at once, which is the one to use if you want a complete break.
Can I claim a welcome offer at every site on a network?
Usually not. Welcome offers are generally once per operator, per person and per household, and the platform enforces it across its brands because it is the same account system underneath.
