Bingo Drive has been around since the mid-2010s and still pulls in a steady stream of players searching for it by name. It’s a free live bingo app from Gliding Deer, with themed rooms, cartoon characters and a road-trip twist: you customize a car and race along the bingo tracks as you play. There’s no real money involved. In this Bingo Drive review we explain how it works, what you get in the app, where the purchases come in and how it compares with other bingo apps.

What Bingo Drive actually is
Bingo Drive is built by Gliding Deer Ltd, a small studio for which Bingo Drive is by far the best-known title. The App Store version launched in July 2017, and the developer says it runs on iPhone, iPad, other mobile devices and PC. Rounds are live: you join a room, play your cards against other players and daub numbers as they’re called. Rooms come with their own mechanics, such as collecting candy in Sugar Rush or looting treasure in Pillage & Plunder, and your progress moves your car along a track that unlocks new rooms.
Gliding Deer states that Bingo Drive is for entertainment only, does not offer cash and does not imply future success at real-money gambling. The App Store lists it under Casino with a 17+ age rating.
How to play Bingo Drive on your phone
- Download: free on the App Store (iOS 15 or later, around 224 MB) and on Google Play.
- Claim your starter credits: new players get free credits, coins and power-ups.
- Choose a room and cards: play one or more cards; more cards cost more credits per round.
- Daub, power up and call bingo: mark the called numbers, fire power-ups and claim your bingos for rewards.
What you get in the app
- Themed rooms and special modes with their own mini-objectives.
- Your own car: customize it and drive along the bingo tracks as you progress.
- Card albums: collect free cards, trade them with friends and complete albums for bigger prizes.
- Daily Spin for free rewards.
- Power-ups to daub faster and win more.
- Social play with friends, family and players worldwide.
Credits, power-ups and in-app purchases
Credits are what you spend on cards. The app hands out free credits, coins and power-ups every day, and returning daily increases your bonuses. Once you play several cards per round, the credits go fast. The US App Store lists bundles from $2.99 up to $99.99 and extra spins at $0.99. Some players say in their reviews that the credit cost of rounds feels steep, so expect to slow down or pay if you play a lot. Nothing you win can be cashed out.
Mobile experience
Bingo Drive averages 4.7 stars from nearly 20,000 App Store ratings and 4.6 from about 20,600 Google Play reviews, with more than a million Android downloads and no ads on the Play listing. It is a smaller app than the big names, at around 224 MB on iPhone. Its rating base is far smaller than Bingo Blitz or Bingo Frenzy, and some reviews describe it as feeling a little dated next to newer bingo apps.
Who Bingo Drive is for
Bingo Drive suits players who like a lighter, more playful bingo app with a clear sense of progress, the car and the tracks, and who enjoy trading cards with friends. It is not for anyone who wants cash prizes or the biggest live rooms.
Bingo Drive compared with other bingo apps
Bingo Blitz and Bingo Bash are bigger, with more events and larger player bases. Bingo Frenzy and Bingo Story put more weight on collections and decor. Bingo Drive’s road-trip theme and card albums give it its own character. None of them pay real money; if you want cash prizes, look at skill-based apps such as Bingo Tour and Blackout Bingo.
Prefer real-money casino games?
Bingo Drive is for fun only. If you want bingo-style games for real money, video bingo and live bingo games such as MONOPOLY Big Baller and Crazy Balls 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.
