Daily Record Bingo Review
Daily Record Bingo is the Scottish newspaper's bingo site — the only brand in this group with a specifically Scottish identity, and one of a small handful of UK bingo sites that can point to a masthead older than the internet. Underneath, it is a Jumpman site like the others, with the same rooms, the same payment options and the same withdrawal timetable.
What follows is verified from Daily Record Bingo's own pages, FAQs and terms, plus platform facts confirmed across its sister brands. The current welcome offer renders alongside this review; we deliberately keep bonus figures out of our copy so nothing here can quietly go out of date.
Who runs Daily Record Bingo
The newspaper lends the name, not the licence. The footer states: "Daily Record Bingo is operated by Jumpman Gaming Limited which is licensed and regulated in Great Britain by the Gambling Commission under account number 39175." Customers outside Great Britain are regulated by the Alderney Gambling Control Commission.
Account 39175 carries active Bingo (Remote) and Casino (Remote) licences and has been listed on the UKGC public register since November 2014, with the operator's head office in Alderney. Jumpman is a white-label provider running a large family of brands on one platform — see our Jumpman bingo sites guide for what that shared infrastructure means in practice.
So while the site sits within the Daily Record's digital offering, your account, your deposits and your customer service run through Jumpman.
Site experience and mobile
The presentation is newspaper-plain in a way that works: clear sections for bingo, slots, casino and promotions, none of the aggressive animation some sister sites open with. Branding is light — a masthead nod rather than a full news-site skin.
There is no app for iOS or Android. The site plays in a mobile browser on a responsive build and loads quickly. Navigation is unambiguous, and bingo is reachable from the homepage without hunting.
The Daily Wheel promotion is the site's regular returning-player mechanic, sitting alongside the welcome offer rather than replacing it.
Bingo rooms
Daily Record Bingo advertises 90-ball, 80-ball and 75-ball formats. What we found live in the lobby was 90 Ball Bingo and 80 Ball Bingo, plus the shared network rooms — Animingo, Bingo Blast, Country Road, Diamond Dazzle, Heavy Weight, Spring Sprinkles, Super Heavy Weight and Zoom Room.
Those rooms are shared across the entire Jumpman network, which is why a site with a regional readership still has properly populated games and prize pots that build. The trade-off, as everywhere on this platform, is that the bingo is not distinctive — it is the same set of rooms under a different masthead.
The recurring gap between advertised 75-ball and what actually runs is worth checking in the lobby before you deposit. Our comparison of the two formats explains what the difference means for pace and prizes.
Slots, instant games and casino
The catalogue is the standard platform library from Microgaming, Scientific Games, NetEnt, Eyecon, Pragmatic Play and Playtech. Fluffy Favourites and Sugar Train are pushed on site, with the usual instant-win games alongside. Casino coverage includes blackjack, roulette and live casino under the operator's casino licence.
Slingo is present in the token quantity typical of the network — enough to try, not enough to make it a reason to join. A larger slots selection on identical terms is available at Space Wins.
The welcome structure
One thing genuinely worth flagging about this brand: its welcome offer is staged across your first few deposits rather than landing in one go. That structure changes the maths of a sign-up considerably compared with a single-deposit match, because the headline total is only reachable if you keep depositing.
We do not print offer figures here, for the reasons set out at the top. What we would say is this: with a staged offer, read the terms for the qualifying deposit at each stage, the wagering applied, and the cap on converting bonus winnings into cash — which on this platform is tied to your lifetime deposits. Those numbers are displayed with the verified offer beside this review, and on our bingo bonus codes page.
Payments and withdrawals
Deposits and withdrawals use Debit Card, PayPal, Paysafe Card, Pay by Mobile, Skrill and Neteller, in GBP only, with a £10 minimum deposit. Withdrawals return to the depositing method, and accounts hold a maximum of three cards, all in the account holder's own name.
Withdrawals follow the network process. On a verified account, a request begins a 72-hour pending period before processing, then funds typically arrive within one to three working days. Verification asks for photo ID, proof of address dated within three months, and a photo of your payment card with the middle eight digits covered, and takes around three working days to review.
Customer support
Support is the shared Jumpman desk: live chat 9am to 4pm Monday to Friday, email to support@jumpmangaming.com with a two-business-day target, complaints to complaints@jumpmangaming.com. There is no telephone line.
Weekday office hours in Alderney are the reality behind the Scottish masthead, and they do not cover the evenings and weekends when most bingo is played.

Daily Record Bingo FAQs
Is Daily Record Bingo run by the Daily Record?
It is the Daily Record's brand and part of the newspaper's digital offering, but the site is operated by Jumpman Gaming Limited under UK Gambling Commission account number 39175. Accounts, payments, bonus terms and support are the operator's.
Is Daily Record Bingo licensed in the UK?
Yes — under UKGC account 39175, which holds active Bingo (Remote) and Casino (Remote) licences on the public register. Non-GB customers are regulated by the Alderney Gambling Control Commission.
How does the Daily Record Bingo welcome offer work?
It is staged across your first few deposits rather than paid on a single one, so reaching the advertised maximum requires depositing more than once. Read the qualifying amount, wagering and conversion cap for each stage in the terms shown with the offer.
How long do withdrawals take?
On a verified account, a 72-hour pending period followed by one to three working days. Allow around three extra working days if your verification documents are still being reviewed.
What is the Daily Wheel?
It is the site's version of the Jumpman spin-the-wheel promotion, awarding bonus funds or free spins on a qualifying deposit above the £10 account minimum. Anything it awards carries the site's standard bonus wagering terms.
What are the alternatives?
Mirror Bingo and OK Bingo are the other publisher-branded sites on the same platform, with the same games, payment methods and withdrawal times.
Verdict
Daily Record Bingo is a tidy, readable, unpretentious site with a masthead people in Scotland actually recognise, and the Daily Wheel gives it something for regulars rather than only for new sign-ups.
Two things to weigh. The staged welcome structure rewards continued depositing, which is fine if that was your plan anyway and worth resisting if it was not. And everything structural — the shared rooms, the 72-hour withdrawal hold, the weekday-only support — is identical to every other brand under licence 39175. Compare the current terms on our best bingo sites page before you decide the masthead is the deciding factor.
