Note: If you were a member of the old Gala Bingo online website, you can login to Chitchat Bingo using your Gala username and password.

Chitchat Bingo is a new name in online bingo - sort of! Chitchat Bingo until recently was known as Gala Bingo to online bingo players, but Gala bingo recently pulled out of the deal, and are believed to be developing their own unique software.

But the owners of the network that Gala Bingo online ran from, St. Minver, have decided to carry on offering online bingo games in the UK, and Chitchat bingo is the result! People who have used the Gala bingo website will feel instantly at home, and if you were a member of the Gala bingo website, you can log in to Chitchat Bingo using your Gala Bingo details. To try out an online UK bingo game at the Chitchat Bingo website, you must register first, but upon registration most bingo players receive £1 to play binog online with - but if you enter 'AFF' in the promotion code box when you sign up, Chitchat bingo will double it! This gives you up to twenty free Bingo games, although you cannot withdraw anything that you win with it until you have gambled it a certain amount of times.

Once you have decided that you enjoy the online bingo games and start to play cash bingo, it is eas to deposit money with your credit or debit card. The Chitchat Bingo website is also the easiest internet UK bingo game site to withdraw your bingo winnings from. You can withdraw as little as £10, and withdrawals are transferred back to your bank account very quickly. The Chitchat Bingo site uses the same Parlay online UK bingo software as Bingos, but due to their established name and heavy promotion in their UK bingo clubs, they have attracted rather more bingo players. In the evenings, each online bingo game can pay out up to £200, and even daytime bingo games frequently have full houses that go over £50. There is only one bingo hall on the Chitchat Bingo website, and although most of the bingo games cost 10p a ticket, there are special bingo games played throughout the day - including jackpot bingo games for thousands of pounds.

The Chitchat Bingo site use the same software as the Bingos.co.uk website, but there are subtle differences. The Chitchat Bingo games are called more quickly, and have a bombastic male bingo caller.

Although the chatrooms are always busy, the moderators are a bit less chatty than on the other sites, which makes it feel a little less friendly than Bingos.co.uk or Jackpotjoy. Free bingo game bonuses are also rather thinner on the ground. Also, the business of the rooms makes it hard for coherent conversations to take place.
