Four of the Take a Break Bingo sister sites profiled below carry the names of other newspapers and consumer brands on the same licence, and the fifth is a bingo site that also came to Jumpman from another operator.
Mirror Bingo
- The big red tabloid: Mirror Bingo takes its name from the Daily Mirror, a national paper, while Take a Break is a weekly magazine.
- Straight to the wheel: Its homepage leads with a £10 deposit wheel whose top prize is 500 free spins on 9 Pots of Gold, where Take a Break Bingo leads with 10 spins you don’t have to pay for.
- Bingo in the title: It sells itself as a place to “Play Online Bingo, Slot & Casino Games”, putting bingo first.
- A bit more to read: Several of its featured games have “Read more” links for a little background information, which Take a Break Bingo’s homepage doesn’t offer.
- Same rules: Winnings carry 10x wagering and cash-outs from bonus play are capped at your lifetime deposits, up to £250.
- Best for: Newspaper readers who want a bingo site with a name they already know from the newsagent.
Daily Record Bingo
- The Scottish one: Daily Record Bingo takes its name from the Scottish tabloid, giving the family a newspaper from north of the border.
- Three deposits matched: It matches 100% of each of your first three deposits up to £200 for up to £600 in bonus funds, while Take a Break Bingo gives spins.
- Mind the title: The title banner of its homepage still advertises “up to £6,000” in welcome bonus cash – ten times what the offer’s terms allow.
- A low ceiling: Only up to £250 of bonus winnings can ever become cash, so most of that £600 can’t be withdrawn.
- Same start: It takes the same £10 minimum deposit to get going.
- Best for: Players who deposit a few times early on and prefer bonus money to free spins.
Wowcher Bingo
- The deals one: Wowcher Bingo takes its name from the discount vouchers website rather than a newspaper or magazine.
- A single match: New players get 100% of their first deposit matched up to £200.
- No spins: Unlike Take a Break Bingo, its sign-up offer is money only, with no free spins or wheel.
- An honest headline: Its title bar promises “Win up to £200 today!”, which matches the offer.
- Same ceiling: Bonus winnings still turn into no more than £250 of cash, and never more than you’ve deposited in total.
- Best for: Bargain hunters who’d rather have a straight deposit match than a spin of the wheel.
The Sun Play
- The other red-top: The Sun Play uses the notorious tabloid’s logo, though it’s a slots site rather than a bingo one.
- Slots first: Its title invites you to “Play Online Slots”, with no mention of bingo, whereas Take a Break Bingo puts bingo in its name.
- A different slot on the wheel: Its sign-up wheel pays up to 500 spins on Big Bass Splash rather than Fluffy Favourites.
- More sections: Live casino and jackpot slots get their own sections on its homepage.
- Casino decor: Its purple banner is all dice, chips and lucky clovers, with nothing from the newspaper beyond the logo.
- Best for: Slots players who like a familiar name but have no interest in bingo.
Dream Bingo
- Another moving brand: Dream Bingo also came to Jumpman from another network company, having spent years as a Betway brand.
- Jumpman’s own: It now sits in Jumpman’s own-brand section on the UKGC register, where Take a Break Bingo is a white label.
- A fixed bonus: A £10 deposit gets exactly 100 free spins on Big Bass Splash, with no luck of the draw involved.
- Cash bingo: Its site title promises “Play Online Bingo for Real Money”, keeping bingo up front.
- Same rules: Winnings from those spins carry 10x wagering and the usual £250 lifetime-deposits ceiling.
- Best for: Players who’d rather know exactly how many spins they’re getting, and the Take a Break Bingo sister site with the most similar history.

Published 28 September 2026
A bingo site that hides its bingo
The magazine connection dominates the homepage here: the Take a Break website, published by Bauer Media Group, has a Bingo link in its menu that goes straight to this site, and the logo is the magazine’s pink “Take a Break” masthead sitting on top of the word “bingo”. The design keeps things chatty, with a pink banner scattered with speech bubbles saying “omg!”, “YAY!”, “I WON!” and “HOW R U?”, teacups and bingo balls. Beyond the logo, though, the site never mentions the magazine, and there are none of the puzzles or real-life stories Take a Break is known for.
The odd thing for a site with bingo in its name is how hard the bingo is to find. The homepage offers 10 free spins on Fluffy Favourites and a row of slots; the menu has no bingo tab, and the Bingo category in the games lobby returns players to the login page. All you can see is the network’s slots line-up: Pirots 5 and Big Bass Splash in the spotlight, Big Bad Towers, Amped Link Surge Cashingo, Dr Zappo and Zeus II Lightning Legends Bonus Surge among the top titles (the last two marked exclusive), and new releases such as Tower of Atlantis Megaways, Gates of Olympus 2500, 12 Masks of Fire Eruption, Grizzly Blitz and Mr Oinkster’s Key to Riches. The lobby is split into Popular, Slots, Live Casino, Table & Card, Jackpots and Bingo, and the site’s FAQ claims more than 3,800 slots, 200 Megaways games and “multiple Bingo rooms”. The offers page adds that bingo players can win a share of £500,000 in prizes every month.
Ownership: from Virtue Fusion to Jumpman
UKGC Licensed, Jumpman Gaming Limited (39175), click to verify
Take a Break Bingo is run by Jumpman Gaming Limited, an Alderney-based company that has held UK Gambling Commission bingo and casino licences since 1 November 2014 and has 234 web addresses on its register entry. takeabreakbingo.co.uk is in the white-label table, so the magazine’s name is just the front while Jumpman provides everything behind it, from the games to the payment system. The takeabreakbingo.com address forwards visitors to a .co.uk site. Jumpman has no regulatory actions attached to its licence today, though it paid £500,000 in a 2022 settlement over social responsibility and anti-money laundering failings.
The site’s FAQ explains the change: Take a Break Bingo “has decided to move from the former operator Virtue Fusion (Alderney) Limited to Jumpman Gaming to improve player experience and games selection”. The official register tells the same story. Virtue Fusion’s old licence, 38838, lists just two addresses, mrgreen.co.uk and takeabreakbingo.co.uk, both now inactive, and its bingo and casino licences were surrendered on 12 February 2026. In what must have been a major annoyance for players, existing accounts didn’t survive the move. You have to sign up again, and anyone who had an account from before the move is told to contact contact@support.takeabreakbingo.co.uk about their old balance or any other questions.
Bonuses: a free taster, then the Jumpman wheel
The first welcome offer is 10 free spins on Fluffy Favourites for new players, with no deposit needed as long as you add a debit card and get it verified. Winnings are subject to 10x wagering, and you can cash out no more than £50. The main welcome offer is a free spin of the Mega Wheel on your first deposit of £10 or more, with up to 500 free spins on Fluffy Favourites as the top prize. Winnings are paid as bonus money with 10x wagering, and you can cash out only up to the total you’ve ever deposited, up to £250. After that, every deposit of £20 or more earns another spin, though not while a withdrawal is pending or through the Quick Deposit button. Some prizes are Amazon vouchers rather than casino bonuses, and the terms warn that you may be asked to pay a small amount to spin the wheel.
One unusual thing to bear in mind for returning players: the FAQ says anyone who played on the old site can claim the welcome offer again on the new one. After that come the network’s regular extras: a Daily Wheel, Fluffy Fridays with a £250 prize pool every Friday evening, a monthly cash draw on a featured slot, a PRO offer of 50 or more free spins on a £20 deposit, a Turbo Wheel that can land anywhere between 50 and 500 spins when you deposit £100 or more, and Pragmatic Play’s year-long Drops & Wins.
Payments: £2.50 every time you deposit
You can deposit with a Visa or Mastercard debit card, Maestro, Paysafecard, Pay by Mobile, PayPal, Neteller or Skrill, from £10 a time, and the terms say that “All deposits incur a £2.50 transaction fee”. That’s true of every Jumpman site, but it’s close to outrageous in this day and age – no other respectable casino network company in the UK charges for deposits. Once your account is verified, a withdrawal sits pending for 72 hours and then reaches you within one to three working days. The terms say customer balances “are not protected in the event of insolvency”, even though they’re kept apart from company funds. If you don’t log in for 365 days the account becomes inactive, the balance is suspended, and after a warning £5 comes off it every 30 days.
Support and complaints: weekday chat only
Live chat is open from 9am to 4pm, Monday to Friday, and emails get a reply within two business days, with a firm request not to send follow-ups. You won’t find a customer support phone number. Complaints are handled first by Jumpman’s own team, and after eight weeks or a deadlock, you can take them to eCOGRA, which settles disputes free of charge. The footer of the Take a Break Bingo website still links to gambleaware.org even though GambleAware wound up in March 2026. If you need to talk to someone, ring GamCare on 0808 8020 133, the number shown in the same footer. If your question is about an account on the old site, the address to use is contact@support.takeabreakbingo.co.uk rather than the new support team.
Take a Break Bingo’s reputation
Take a Break Bingo’s Trustpilot profile has been claimed since August 2017, so it covers the ownership period of both operators. It’s made up of 68 reviews averaging 1.6, with 88% one-star and 6% five-star, and 24 of them came in the last twelve months. Trustpilot also notes that the company hasn’t replied to negative reviews. The 2026 complaints follow a pattern: a win taken away because it was bonus money, a £550 withdrawal the reviewer says never arrived, and repeated trouble getting money out. The first of those is exactly what the £250 lifetime deposits ceiling does, so it’s just a case of the reviewer not reading that rule before playing with bonus funds.
What I like, and what I don’t
What I like
- Ten free spins before you deposit anything.
- A plain-English FAQ about the change of operator.
- Former players can claim the welcome offer again.
- A UK licence with independent complaints through eCOGRA.
What I don’t
- A £2.50 fee on every deposit.
- Bingo hidden behind the login on what’s supposed to be a bingo site.
- Old accounts and balances left hanging with the previous operator.
- Weekday-only chat and no phone line.
My Take a Break Bingo sister sites verdict: a new landlord, but the same old rules
The move to Jumpman has given Take a Break Bingo a bigger games library and a nice new look, but it’s also swapped whatever the old site was for the same copy-and-paste machinery that runs dozens of Jumpman’s sites, deposit fee and bonus ceiling included. For a long-standing reader of the magazine, the name should be familiar but very little else will be, and recent player feedback suggests the bonus rules are where most of the disappointment comes from.
If you’re curious, the 10 free spins are a fair way to try it out without spending anything. If bingo is what you’re really after, Mirror Bingo and Dream Bingo both do a better job of making it front and centre of what they do, and if you’d rather have matched deposit bonus offers than a wheel of fortune, Wowcher Bingo’s single £200 match is the most straightforward on the network.
