Ted Bingo Review (and What Happened to Mint Bingo)
If you've arrived here after typing mintbingo.com into your browser and landing somewhere else entirely, that's not a glitch. Mint Bingo has been switched off and its domain now redirects here, to Ted Bingo.
There's an important detail in that handover that nobody has put in front of departing Mint players, so we'll lead with it: your Mint Bingo account and balance do not carry across automatically. More on exactly what to do below.
As for Ted itself — it's a small, straightforward Broadway Gaming site with the simplest welcome structure in this comparison and round-the-clock support behind it.
If you were a Mint Bingo player
Here's the position, verified rather than assumed. We checked the Gambling Commission's domain register for the operator's account: tedbingo.com is listed as Active, and mintbingo.com is listed as Inactive. The redirect is live and one-way. Mint is retired, not paused.
What that means practically:
- Your login won't work here. Ted is a separate site with separate registration. Following the redirect doesn't migrate anything.
- If you had a balance, contact the operator. Broadway Gaming's support team handles this, and 24/7 live chat is the quickest route. Have your Mint username, registered email and date of birth ready. Don't send passwords or full card numbers.
- Expect to verify. Withdrawals aren't processed on unverified accounts, so be ready with photo ID, a recent proof of address and a card copy.
- Do it now rather than later. Dormant balances on retired brands get harder to chase the longer they sit, and the people who handled Mint day to day have moved on to other things.
None of this is unusual or sinister — white-label brands are retired constantly when traffic dwindles, and the operator carrying on means your money is still somebody's responsibility. It's just that "the domain now points at our busier site" is not the same as "we've moved your account", and the redirect rather implies otherwise.
Who's running Ted Bingo
Ted is operated by Broadway Gaming Ireland DF Limited, a Republic of Ireland company licensed and regulated in Great Britain by the Gambling Commission under account number 58267. The register lists tedbingo.com as Active under that account, with remote bingo, remote casino and remote gambling software licences held since February 2022 and no regulatory actions recorded.
Worth holding onto: Broadway runs two separate UK-licensed companies. This is the Dublin one. A distinct Isle of Man business trades under account 39075 with different fees and a slower withdrawal timetable, so don't carry assumptions between them.
That licence brings the Commission's technical standards on random outcomes and independent game testing with it, which we've explained in is online bingo fixed?
The welcome offer, and why its shape matters
Ted runs the same structure as its sister site Safari Bingo, and it's the most straightforward in this whole comparison: a fixed bingo bonus on a qualifying first deposit, with a low single-figure wagering requirement and a short expiry window.
We don't print offer figures — they change, and the current verified terms render beside this review. But the shape is the point. A modest fixed bonus at a low multiple is genuinely clearable, which is more than can be said for the big-percentage, double-digit-wagering offers that dominate this market. If you want the arithmetic on why the multiple matters far more than the headline, it's in no-wagering bingo: what it really means.
The catch is the clock. A short expiry means claiming it when you've actually got an evening to use it, not on a whim.
The games
A note on sourcing first, because we'd rather be straight than tidy. Ted's site wouldn't render its full terms or its live bingo schedule for us without an account, so we're not going to list room names and ticket prices we haven't seen.
What we can tell you is operator-level and verified across its sister brands: this operator runs 90-ball and genuine 75-ball bingo, along with a 52-ball card variant and 5-line bingo, and the rooms are pooled across brands so games fill and jackpot pots build. Real 75-ball is scarcer in the UK than the marketing suggests — our format guide covers why it plays so differently. A mainstream slots catalogue sits alongside the bingo.
If a particular format or room matters to you, open the lobby before depositing. That's sensible advice anywhere, and it's the honest advice here.
Money in, money out — and how to keep it smooth
Across this operator's brands: Visa Debit, Mastercard Debit, PayPal and Apple Pay, in GBP or EUR, with £10 minimums on both deposits and withdrawals, all in your own name. No Paysafe, no Skrill or Neteller, no pay-by-mobile — check that works for you first.
Deposit with the method you want paying out to. Withdrawals go back to a method you've actually deposited with, up to the amount deposited.
Verify at sign-up. Photo ID, recent proof of address, card copy. Five minutes now saves a frustrating week later.
Published timings are among the better ones we've recorded: internal processing of one to two business days with one as the aim, then debit card and Apple Pay landing anywhere from within the hour to one to five business days depending on your bank, and PayPal usually within the hour and no more than two to three business days.
Support
Live chat runs 24/7 across this operator's brands, with a help centre behind it that publishes actual numbers for deposits, withdrawals and verification rather than vague reassurance.
For a small brand that's a genuine advantage — you're not waiting on one person and an inbox — and it's also the route Mint Bingo refugees should use to chase a balance.
What players say
Very little that's specific to Ted. It's a small brand without a meaningful review footprint of its own, and we'd rather say that than inflate a handful of opinions into a verdict.
The operator-level patterns are the better guide. Across its brands the recurring praise is for responsive live chat, and the recurring complaint is verification checks arriving at withdrawal time, particularly on larger cash-outs. Expect both here, and pre-empt the second one by verifying early.
What we like
- The simplest, most clearable welcome structure in our comparison — fixed bonus, low wagering multiple
- Live chat 24/7, which also gives Mint players a fast route to their balance
- Published withdrawal timeframes targeted at one business day internally
- PayPal supported both ways and typically the quickest route out
- Access to the operator's pooled rooms, including genuine 75-ball, so games stay busy
- Listed as Active on the Gambling Commission register under a licence with no regulatory actions
Worth knowing before you join
- Mint Bingo accounts and balances don't transfer here — you must contact the operator directly
- Short expiry on the welcome bonus, so claim it when you can use it
- We couldn't verify Ted's own live lobby or terms without an account — check the room schedule yourself
- Essentially no brand-specific player-review record
- Payment list is Visa Debit, Mastercard Debit, PayPal and Apple Pay only
- Withdrawals only return to a method you've deposited with; £10 minimums both ways
- Verification checks tend to surface at withdrawal time across this operator
Ted Bingo, briefly answered
What happened to Mint Bingo?
It's been retired. mintbingo.com now redirects to Ted Bingo, and the Gambling Commission's register lists mintbingo.com as Inactive while tedbingo.com is Active. Both were operated by Broadway Gaming Ireland DF Limited.
Does my Mint Bingo account work at Ted Bingo?
No. The redirect moves the domain, not your account. Ted requires separate registration, and any Mint balance needs to be recovered by contacting the operator's support team directly — 24/7 live chat is the fastest way.
Who operates Ted Bingo?
Broadway Gaming Ireland DF Limited, under UK Gambling Commission account 58267, which also holds remote casino and gambling software licences.
How long do withdrawals take?
One to two business days for internal processing, aiming for one, then up to one to five business days for cards or two to three for PayPal depending on your bank.
Is the Ted Bingo bonus easy to clear?
Easier than most. It's a fixed bingo bonus with a low single-figure wagering requirement rather than the double-digit multiples common elsewhere, though it expires quickly.
What are the closest alternatives?
Safari Bingo runs the identical bonus structure under the same operator and answers every negative review it gets, and Wink Bingo has the same payments and support with a far bigger track record.
The verdict
Ted Bingo is a small, unfussy site with a welcome offer you can realistically clear, 24/7 support, and a licensed operator that publishes its withdrawal times properly. For a player who wants straightforward bingo without a bonus that reads like a maths exam, that's a decent combination.
Two things to do. If you came from Mint Bingo with money left behind, contact support before anything else — the redirect didn't bring it with you. And whether you're new or arriving from a retired sister site, verify your account on day one and deposit with a method that can pay you back out. Today's verified terms sit beside this review, and our best bingo sites comparison shows how it measures up.
