General Bingo Rules
At Giggle Bingo players may receive both Bingo Bonus Money (BBz) and Casino Bonus Money. These are two separate accounts and can only be used in their respective games (i.e. Bingo Bonus Money can only be used to play bingo and not on the casino games, while Casino Bonus Money can be used to play casino games but not bingo). Neither Bingo Bonus Money nor Casino Bonus Money can be withdrawn.

Bingo Bonus Money
Bingo Bonus Money may be given to players in various forms such as the sign-on bonus of £5 as well as weekly and monthly promotions. Players should be aware of the following Bingo Bonus Money Rules:
- Most players at Giggle Bingo are honest & trustworthy. To ensure that our extremely generous Bingo Bonus Money (BBz) specials are not abused to the detriment of these fantastic bingo-loving folk, any player who wants to withdraw all or part of a cash deposit will forfeit all their Bingo Bonus Money. This policy does not apply to the withdrawal of Progressive Jackpot winnings, but is limited to a single withdrawal. This policy will never restrict any player from withdrawing legitimate winnings. It is just a way to ensure that no one abuses the system.
- Bingo Bonus Money can only be used to buy tickets once all money in a player's Cash Account has been exhausted.
- Players can win Cash with Bingo Bonus Money. Bingo Bonus money (BBz) does contribute to the total jackpot per game, and you can buy tickets using Bingo Bonus money (BBz) and win the total jackpot just like any other game.
- Bingo Bonus Money can never be withdrawn.
- Winnings derived from any complimentary, promotional Bingo Bonus Money or Free Tickets received by the Player are not eligible for withdrawal.
- Only players that have made a deposit at Giggle Bingo are eligible for Daily Promo BBz prizes and Chat Game BBz prizes.
Casino Bonus Money
Giggle Bingo has a Casino Bonus System which is extremely simple to use. Here's how it works...
The first thing to remember is that you can play all of the casino games on offer with your Cash Balance, but you are not allowed to use your Bingo Bonus Money (also referred to as 'BBz' in bingo) to play the casino games. In addition to your Bingo Bonus Account you are given a 'Casino Bonus Account' where you can receive bonus money to play the casino games.
When you are playing casino games you will be playing with your Cash Balance and your Casino Bonus Balance. Together these form your Total Balance, which will be the amount of 'Real Credits' shown in the bottom left of the casino game you are playing. To see a breakdown of your Total Balance into your Cash and Bingo Bonus Balances you need to go to the Cashier where you will see a Balance summary.
Here are a few more things you need to know about the Casino Bonus Account...
- You are allowed to play with your Total Balance on all of the casino games.
- The Casino Bonus Account has play-through (wagering) requirements. As you play and meet the play-through requirements, the bonus is released to your Cash Account in 10 casino-credit increments.
- Any bonus credited to your Casino Bonus Account is subject to play-through requirements of thirty (30). (Further information please see the full Terms and Conditions).
And here's an example of how it works...
A player with a Cash Balance of £100 and a Casino Bonus Balance of £20 will have a Total Balance of £120.
The play-through requirement for the £20 bonus will be 20x30=£600. For every £300 wagered, £10 will be released from the Casino Bonus Account and added to the Cash Account until all of the bonus balance has been played through.
When you visit the Bank to withdraw, your Cash and Casino Bonus balances will be clearly shown. You can also keep track of exactly how much more you need for play-through to release any remaining bonus balance. Your withdrawal limit is your Cash Balance. The withdrawal page will clearly indicate that you will lose the balance in your Casino Bonus Account if you continue with the withdrawal.
Terms And Conditions For Bonus System
1. Rules
A Player's Casino account consists of their Cash Account and a Casino Bonus Account. Withdrawals cannot be made from the Casino Bonus Account, but the Casino Bonus Account can be used to place wagers. Withdrawals can be made at any time from the Cash Account.
Specific play-through (wagering) requirements are indicated in the terms and conditions of each promotion.
2. Terms & Conditions
- Bonus amounts credited to a Casino Bonus Account are subject to thirty (30) times the play-through before they may be withdrawn.
- Different games played may contribute a different percentage of the play-through requirement – up to 100%.
- The contributing percentages are as follows:
- 100% – all Slots, American Roulette, Keno, Flip Ticket and Scratch Ticket.
- 50% – all Table Pokers and European Roulette
- 10% – all Video/Power Pokers (except Aces Video/Power Pokers), all Blackjacks and Baccarat
- 2% – All Aces Video/Power Pokers
- As the required play-through requirements are met, funds are automatically transferred from the Casino Bonus Account to the Cash Account in increments of 10 credits.
- Play-through requirements are achieved when any real money wager is made. Please note: any wagering made using the Gamble Feature on Slot games, or the Double Feature on Video/Power Pokers will not count towards play-through requirements.
- Real money wagers are deducted from the Cash Account. If there is no cash available, the wager is deducted from the Casino Bonus Account. Funds in the Casino Bonus Account are only played if there are insufficient credits in the cash balance.
- When a withdrawal is made, the Casino Bonus Account balance is reset to zero. This means that a Player can choose to take back money they've deposited, but will lose any bonus money still remaining in their Casino Bonus Account.
- Winnings on wagers made from the Cash Account are credited directly to the Cash Account. Winnings on wagers made from the Casino Bonus Account are credited to the Casino Bonus Account.
- If crediting a Player's Casino Bonus Account with winnings results in the Casino Bonus Account balance exceeding the size of the original bonus amount, any excess winnings are credited to the Player's Cash Account.
Note: This is less any automatic transfers from the Casino Bonus Account to the Cash Account that had occurred.
