Who runs Heart Bingo slots and bingo
Heart Bingo's licence holder is BV Gaming Limited, the company behind BetVictor, registered on Bayside Road, Gibraltar. On the Gambling Commission's register it holds account 39576, and heartbingo.co.uk is listed with the status "White Label". BV Gaming's remote casino licence dates from 1 November 2014 and its remote bingo licence from 31 March 2021, six months before Heart Bingo's relaunch.
The brand itself belongs to Global, the media group that owns Heart radio. Global supplies the name and audience; BV Gaming handles everything regulated, from age checks and payments to safer gambling and complaints. Your contract is with BV Gaming, and the terms should say so.
The 2021 relaunch and the move to Playtech bingo
Heart Bingo relaunched on 23 September 2021 as a partnership between BetVictor and Global. In February 2025 its bingo moved onto Playtech's bingo platform, one of the most widely used networks in British online bingo. A shared network typically means bingo rooms with players from several sites, which can make prize pools and game frequency different from a site running its own standalone software.

How slots fit on a bingo-led site like Heart Bingo
Bingo sites usually offer slots in two places: a main games lobby and a set of side games you can open while a bingo game is running. The side-game format is convenient, but it changes the pace of spending, because two products are now drawing on the same balance at once.
A worked example: you buy £5 of bingo tickets for a session and open a slot at 20p a spin in a side window. If the bingo round lasts 15 minutes and you spin about six times a minute, that is 90 spins and £18 staked on the slot, more than three times the bingo spend, before the next round starts. Our slot session budget guide shows how to set one combined limit.
Your deposit limit applies to the whole account, so it caps bingo and slots together.
Choosing slots that suit a bingo budget
Bingo players often prefer small stakes and steady play. Lower-volatility games, such as NetEnt's Starburst at 96.09% RTP with a 500x max win, tend to return small wins more often. Games popular on bingo sites aren't always gentle, though: Eyecon's Fluffy Favourites, a bingo-site staple, is rated high volatility. Check the info screen for volatility and RTP before playing, as explained in our guide to comparing slot volatility. We don't list which titles Heart Bingo currently carries.
BV Gaming's regulatory record
The register currently lists no regulatory actions against BV Gaming Limited. Earlier published records show a settlement of about £2 million by the company in February 2022. Because the register's actions tab doesn't always keep older entries, it is worth searching the Commission's news archive for the licensee's name as well. Any action against BV Gaming would cover every brand on its licence, including Heart Bingo.
UK slot rules on Heart Bingo games
Slots on bingo sites follow the same national rules as any casino: £5 per spin at 25 and over, £2 for 18 to 24-year-olds, no autoplay, no turbo, a 2.5-second minimum spin and no bonus buys. Since 17 January 2025 the autoplay and speed rules have also applied to other online casino games, with at least 5 seconds per round on non-slot games. See our UK slot rules guide.
Safer gambling tools for Heart Bingo players
Every UK licensee must offer deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion and must take part in GAMSTOP. On a site that mixes bingo and slots, a reality check reminder is especially helpful, since time passes quickly with a game running in each window. Bingo and slots are both paid entertainment and losses are likely over time. For confidential support at any hour, ring the National Gambling Helpline free on 0808 8020 133.

Frequently asked questions
Who owns Heart Bingo?
The Heart Bingo brand belongs to Global, the media group that owns Heart radio, while the site is operated by BV Gaming Limited, the BetVictor company, under UK Gambling Commission account 39576. The two relaunched the site together on 23 September 2021. BV Gaming holds the licence, so it runs accounts, payments, verification and complaints, and its name should appear in the terms. Read our BetVictor profile and our guide to checking a slot site's licence.
Is Heart Bingo licensed in the UK?
Yes, heartbingo.co.uk is listed on the UK Gambling Commission's register under BV Gaming Limited, account 39576, with the status "White Label". BV Gaming holds remote casino, bingo, betting and gambling software licences, with bingo active since 31 March 2021. A related address, hbingo.co.uk, is also listed as active. Make sure the site you use matches a listed domain. Our page on spotting unlicensed slot sites and the UKGC definition explain what to look for.
Does Heart Bingo have slots?
Yes, Heart Bingo offers slots as well as bingo, as is usual for UK bingo sites, both in its games lobby and as side games you can play during bingo. We don't list specific titles because lobbies change. Each slot's help screen shows its RTP and rules, and UK stake limits of £5, or £2 for 18 to 24-year-olds, apply. Playing slots alongside bingo can speed up spending considerably. Read our guide to reading a slot's game info screen and our low volatility slots page.
What bingo software does Heart Bingo use?
Heart Bingo's bingo has run on Playtech's bingo platform since February 2025. Playtech operates one of the larger bingo networks in Britain, which generally means rooms are shared with players from other sites using the same network. That can affect how many people are in a game and how prize pools build. The slots on the site may come from a range of studios, not only Playtech. Read our Playtech slots page for more on the supplier.
What are Heart Bingo's sister sites?
Heart Bingo's sister sites are the other brands on BV Gaming Limited's licence. The register lists BetVictor's own domains as active, and Betano, Parimatch, talkSPORT BET and Smooth Spins as white labels, like Heart Bingo. They share a licence holder, so the same company applies verification and safer gambling policy across them, though each has its own design and promotions. Read our profiles of Betano and Parimatch.
Has Heart Bingo been fined?
The register currently lists no regulatory actions against BV Gaming Limited, Heart Bingo's licence holder. Earlier published records show a settlement of about £2 million by BV Gaming in February 2022. Because any action applies to the licensee, it would cover all its brands. The register's actions tab may not show older entries. Our guide to complaining to a slot site explains your options in a dispute.
Is it a good idea to play slots during bingo?
It depends on your budget, but it does increase how fast money is staked. In a 15-minute bingo round, a slot at 20p a spin and about six spins a minute adds roughly £18 of stakes, often more than the bingo tickets themselves. If you enjoy both, set one combined budget and a deposit limit before you start, and consider a time reminder. Our guides to setting a slot session budget and setting deposit limits can help.
Can I play Heart Bingo slots for free?
UK rules allow demo play only after your age has been verified, so free-play versions are available only to checked accounts. Demo games use credits with no cash value, which helps you learn a game's features before staking anything. Any free spins offered as promotions come with their own conditions, so read the terms. Remember that real-money slots cost money over time. See our pages on free slots and what a slot demo is.
How do I self-exclude from Heart Bingo?
You can self-exclude through Heart Bingo's account settings or customer support, and register with GAMSTOP to block every UK-licensed online gambling site at once. Because Heart Bingo shares BV Gaming's licence with BetVictor and others, ask whether your exclusion covers those brands too. Time-outs and deposit limits are available for shorter breaks. The National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133 is free, confidential and open 24 hours. Our self-exclusion guide explains each step.
Gambling can be addictive. Free, confidential help is available 24 hours a day from the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133. Get support from GamCare or NHS gambling support, or block yourself from all UK-licensed gambling sites with GAMSTOP.
