Sky has long been one of the most ubiquitous names in the UK media landscape, so it should hardly be a surprise that its name is attached to a popular online bingo portal. Indeed, it is just one part of the broader Sky Betting & Gaming, although the Sky plc company itself largely scaled down its involvement when it sold much of the gambling business in 2015.
Today, Sky Bingo is effectively owned and operated by the Irish bookmaking holding company, Flutter Entertainment, with the Sky brand used under license. But what can you expect as an actual player at Sky Bingo?

Once you are a member of the site, you can find sources of help with any query by scrolling down to the bottom of the page and clicking ‘Help & Support’.

Bottom Line:
You might have had good reason to presume that Sky Bingo would be all about the brand and little else, but that simply isn’t the case. The reality is much more impressive – this is a site with more than 20 fun bingo rooms for you to enjoy, built on industry-leading software, and supported by some very good bingo-focused promos. The customer support offering is strong, too.
All in all, you might have little reason to even consider any other online bingo site for the bulk of your activity in this gaming category.
