Bingo Story is a free live bingo app with a fairy-tale twist, made by Clipwire Games, the studio behind MONOPOLY Bingo!. You play real-time bingo against other players, win capsules full of items and use them to restore storybook scenes. Like every social bingo app, it has no real-money prizes. In this Bingo Story review we explain how the game works, what you get, how the purchases and ads fit in and how it compares with other bingo apps.
Looking for real-money casino games? Bingo Story only uses virtual currency that can’t be cashed out. These casino apps let you play bingo-style games, slots and table games for real money and withdraw your winnings, where online casinos are legal for you.
What Bingo Story actually is
Bingo Story has been on the App Store since December 2016, which makes it one of the older social bingo apps still updated today. Clipwire Games also publishes MONOPOLY Bingo! and The Price Is Right: Bingo!. The story: villains have broken into the Sacred Library where all the storybooks are kept, and the Fairy Godmother needs your help to put them back together. In practice that means live bingo rounds in rotating themed rooms, with bingos rewarding capsules of items you use to craft fantasy decor in seasonal events.
Clipwire states that the game does not offer real-money gambling or any chance to win real money or prizes, and that success in the game says nothing about success at real-money gambling. The App Store age rating is 17+.
How to play Bingo Story on your phone
- Download: free on the App Store (iOS 15 or later, around 318 MB) and on Google Play.
- Choose your cards: play 1, 2, 3 or 4 cards per round.
- Daub and use power-ups: mark the called numbers, fire power-ups and call your bingos.
- Craft and complete: open the capsules you win and use the items to finish decor and story chapters.
What you get in the app
- Rotating events with themed rooms and storybook chapters.
- Capsules and decor crafting as the main collection goal.
- Golden Wheel daily spin with a jackpot prize.
- Clubs: gift items, trade collection pieces and work on community goals together.
- Mini-games for tokens, power-ups and club balls.
- Global chat, where most collection trading happens.
Currency, ads and in-app purchases
Bingo Story is free to play and gives daily rewards and boosted games to all players. It sells additional content and in-game currency as optional in-app purchases. On Android the Play listing also marks the app as containing ads. As always with social casino-style games, spending buys more playtime and items, not anything you can cash out.
Mobile experience
Bingo Story averages 4.4 stars from about 16,800 App Store ratings and 4.1 from roughly 100,000 Google Play reviews, with more than 5 million Android downloads. Those ratings are a little lower than the top bingo apps, which fits its age: it is a long-running game with a large back catalogue of events. The fairy-tale art style is bright and consistent, and four-card play fits on a phone screen.
Who Bingo Story is for
Bingo Story suits players who like a story and a decorating goal alongside their bingo, and who enjoy trading items in a club. If you just want fast rounds without collections, a simpler app such as Bingo Party may suit you better. If you want cash prizes, no social bingo app is the right choice.
Bingo Story compared with other bingo apps
Compared with MONOPOLY Bingo!, its sister app, Bingo Story swaps the board-game brand for fairy tales. Bingo Blitz and Bingo Bash have bigger player bases and more events, while Bingo Frenzy has the strongest ratings of the newer apps. For a lighter theme, see Bingo Drive.
Prefer real-money casino games?
Bingo Story is for fun only. If you want bingo-style games for real money, video bingo, Slingo and live bingo games such as Mega Ball come closest. These casino apps also offer slots and table games and pay out winnings. Check that real-money play is allowed where you live first.
