10. Hippo

Hippo Bingo is a relative newcomer to the world of online bingo, but there is something about a hippo wearing a grass skirt and coconut bra, sipping a cocktail on a desert island that just appeals to me.

Judging by the number of players taking advantage of their free £5 no deposit offer, Hippo is a popular character with many others too.

9. Space Fairy & the Blue Heads

A very strange combination for this space themed bingo site, but somehow it just kind of works. The space fairy’s wings represent the X in X-Bingo, while the little blue head critters can be found across the site getting up to all kinds of mischief.

X-Bingo is also offering £5 free to new players, and when you join you can choose a blue head avatar of your own to represent you throughout the game.

8. Eric

Eric is a good old fashioned bingo caller, and the choice of mascot for the good old fashioned bingo site that is FreeBingo UK.

One thing Eric seems to enjoy is dressing up for the occassion. He can regularly be found dressed up in various costumes depending on what themed room this popular site is going with at the time. Nice outfit Santa, not sure about the sombrero!

7. Bucky Man

God knows what Buckingham Bingo were smoking when they decided they wanted an afro-caribbean pimp to become the face of their online bingo site, BuckyBingo.co.uk.

I would have loved to have been in that design meeting. Bucky Man is fun, but not exactly target audience, so if that was their brief, then it’s probably just about worked.

6. Jack

When casino site shootjack launched their live bingo game, they decided not to change their baldy mascot Jack for a more female friendly design.

Overnight Jack became the most bad-ass bingo mascot, not only for his uncanny resemblance to the contract killer from the Hitman video games (pictured), but also for having his own rap song.

5. Bingo Ball Family

Not content with just one mascot, Bingo Playground have five of them in the form of a family of bingo balls. They seem like a friendly bunch, but a little too perfect with their 2.4 children. Who knows what dirty little secrets lie behind those smiling faces.

4. Gus the Gorilla

We all love alliteration, so top marks to BingoGiving with their unusual mascot, Gus the Giving Gorilla. He’s a generous soul, donating a percentage of his profits to charity every month.

That’s really nice of him, but don’t expect him to share any of the marijuana leaves he is sat on. They’re for medicinal purposes only.

3. Sunny

Sunny is the ever-grinning face of Costa Bingo, and you’ve probably seen him on TV smashing through prison cells to free bingo balls who have been rioting all night.

The animation and design of Sunny is top quality, but I’ve never seen him without that huge smile, which makes me think he’s secretly up to something. No-one can be that happy all of the time, right?

2. City the Cat

“He’s the boss, he’s the pip, he’s the championship. He’s the most tip top… Top Cat.”

I really like CityBingo’s main feline, City the Cat, as he is exactly what I would imagine a 21st century version of Top Cat to look like. The character design is really great, and I could just imagine a spin-off cartoon with toys and teddies of this colourful character.

1. Foxy

In the war of the online bingo mascots, Foxy Bingo won a very long time ago with their half-man, half-fox superstar. Ask the man in the street to name a bingo site, and they’ll probably say Foxy.

He’s had a number of incarnations over the years, from man in a suit, to fully digital and then back again. He divides the masses more than marmite, with huge numbers of fans and equal numbers of people who are freaked out seeing a man with a fox’s head.

But we at ShoutBingo hail Foxy as the #1 online bingo mascot of all time.
