Chit Chat Bingo Relaunches With Grace Media
Published On 20th June 2024
Last month we told you that changes were afoot with a host of Dragonfish, now Broadway Gaming, brands. The brands involved include Chit Chat Bingo, Pink Ribbon Bingo, Loads A Bingo and Bid Bingo amongst others. The majority of these sites remained on the platform but moved from Maxi Affiliates ownership to Digital Rush Partners. However UK Bingo and Chit Chat Bingo stayed put but ended up closing on the Broadway Gaming platform. We speculated that the brands would return as Jumpman Gaming sites as that's usually where a lot of sites seem to end up. However we got it wrong. In fact both Chit Chat and UK Bingo have relaunched as brands on Grace Media. Now there's a bit of a surprise!
Pragmatic Play Bingo Time
Grace Media took over the former Nektan platfom in 2020. A number of slots sites such as Fruity Wins, O'Reels, Slots Jungle, Dice Den, Slots Rush and Jungle Spins still use the platform but in bingo terms only BOGOF Bingo had residence in the stable. For a fleeting moment in 2022 they were joined by Blush Bingo but their existence was shortlived. Bingo on BOGOF is powered by Pragmatic Play so that means players have access to 30, 50, 75, 80 and 90 ball games. These are the same games that you'll find on Jumpman Gaming brands as well as individual sites such as Bet365 Bingo, Heart Bingo, PlayOJO Bingo and Lottoland. So BOGOF now has some new sister sites in the shape of Chit Chat Bingo and UK Bingo. There's been little to no fanfare regarding the relaunch of either site.

What's On Offer?
By joining with Grace Media and Pragmatic Play, Chit Chat Bingo and UK Bingo have an abundance of bingo rooms including Animingo, the 50 ball picture game, Diamond Dazzle which is Deal Or No Deal Bingo in all but name, and the horrendous Bingo Blast which is currently going under the name of Blossom Blast. Sadly it doesn't make the game any better although it is nice to see a few players actually are in the room at time of writing. Usually it's empty! Some bingo rooms have their own progressive jackpots whilst there are big jackpot games to be enjoyed in rooms such as Super Heavy Weight. One thing that is missing from the roster are The Royal Rooms. This was an exclusive across Chit Chat and co. As far as we know the other sites (Pink Ribbon Bingo, BingoZino, Bid Bingo, Bingo Ireland, Lovehearts Bingo, Loadsa Bingo, and Bingo Barmy) are continuing with it.
A Good Move?
It's fair to say that this move did catch us out. We'd have put the house on both UK Bingo and Chit Chat ending up on Jumpman Gaming. Although to be fair they've still ended up with Pragmatic Play Bingo by joining forces with Grace Media. In many respects it is a better move. There's less competition on the platform plus both sites are offering bingo tickets as part of the welcome bonus. They both look like bingo brands too rather than a slots site with bingo hidden in the background. Player promotions however are limited but wager terms more favourable when compared with Jumpman. However compared to say Heart Bingo or PlayOJO who can offer more to players as well as no wagering terms we think Chit Chat will need to do more to stand out. Overall though it'll be interesting to see how the relaunches fair and whether this is the start of a renaissance for bingo from Grace Media.
