Bingo and slots in one app: what Gala Bingo includes on iOS
This is a combined bingo and casino app with no sportsbook. The listing describes "over 20 rooms" of bingo and "hundreds of online slot titles", while an independent review puts the slot count at over 250. Exact numbers change, so the lobby is the final word.
Bingo: 30, 40, 50, 75, 80 and 90-ball games, including TV-themed rooms such as Emmerdale and The Chase.
Slots and jackpots: with exclusive titles mentioned on the listing; reviews name Bigger Banger and Gold Fish Fortunes.
Bingo suits a phone well because tickets are usually auto-marked and rounds run on a schedule, but rooms with chat and many cards fill a small screen quickly. Our bingo apps guide explains the different ball formats, and the list of best bingo apps compares partner options.
Gala Bingo or Gala Spins: which iPhone app?
The same developer also publishes Gala Spins: Online Casino, a standalone casino app. If you want slots and live tables without bingo rooms in the menu, that's the casino-only option; if bingo is the point, Gala Bingo is the one to install.
Having two apps from one group isn't unusual. Entain runs several brands under one licence, and each app keeps its own focus. We review Gala Casino as a separate brand. A single-purpose app can also be easier to manage, since you can block or limit it without touching the other.
Gala Bingo iOS requirements: iPhone, iPad, Mac and Vision Pro
Every Apple device needs current software. iOS 18.0 or later on iPhone is the same minimum as the Coral and Ladbrokes casino apps, so if your phone runs one, it will run the others.

At 99.7 MB, the download is a shade smaller than Coral Casino (101.6 MB) and Ladbrokes Casino (101.2 MB). The figure on the listing is the download size; apps usually take more space once installed and caching game files, so leave some headroom.
If you're short of space, iOS can offload apps you rarely use while keeping their data. Our guide to casino app storage space covers that and other ways to free up room.
Who publishes the Gala Bingo iPhone app?
The seller shown is Gala, with Gala Interactive (Gibraltar) Limited as the provider. The company that holds the UK licence is different: LC International Limited, Gambling Commission account 54743, part of Entain.
The Commission's list of LC International trading names (opens in a new tab) includes "gala bingo", and galabingo.com appears among its domains. Its licence, active from 1 July 2019, covers bingo and casino. Seeing a group company as the App Store seller and another as the licensee is normal for large operators; the licence is what gives you UK protections.
LC International Limited also runs Coral and Ladbrokes. That shared ownership affects welcome offers, as explained in the alternatives section below.
The Gala Bingo app privacy label
The App Privacy section of the listing wasn't recorded when the details were checked, so we can't quote it. It's worth a minute before installing, because it shows how the developer says your data is used.
Data used to track you: shared with other companies for advertising across apps and websites. A shorter list means less cross-app tracking.
Data linked to you: tied to your identity. For a gambling app, expect contact info, identifiers and financial info, because ID and payment checks are a legal requirement.
Location: licensed apps must keep play within the areas they're licensed for, so location data is common.
Data not linked to you: usually diagnostics such as crash logs.
You can also control tracking yourself: iOS lets you refuse an app's request to track you across other apps. Our guide on how to read a casino app privacy label goes through each category.
How to download the Gala Bingo app on iPhone
Check your iPhone runs iOS 18.0 or later in Settings, General, About, and that you have well over 100 MB free.
Open the App Store and search for Gala Bingo. Make sure your Apple Account is set to the UK.
Choose Gala - Bingo & Slot Games with Gala as the seller. Don't confuse it with Gala Spins, the casino-only app.
Read the App Privacy section, then tap Get and confirm with Face ID, Touch ID or your password.
Open the app and log in or register. Age and identity checks must be completed before you can deposit or play, including demo games.
Set a deposit limit when prompted before your first deposit, and decide which marketing messages you want.
Deposits, withdrawals and the Gala Bingo bonus on iPhone
Independent reviews list debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, Paysafecard, Skrill, Neteller and bank transfer for deposits, with a £5 minimum for most methods and £10 for PayPal. Withdrawals go to debit cards, PayPal, Neteller or Skrill. Published payout times and minimums conflict between sources, so our Gala Bingo withdrawals page sets out both versions.
At the time of checking (25 October 2026), the welcome offer was described as Play £10, get £60 Bingo Bonus: new customers 18+ deposit and spend £10 on bingo within 7 days of registering, with 4x wagering, 7 days to claim and use, bingo only and certain payment methods excluded. Terms apply. In pounds, 4x on £60 means £240 of bingo tickets before bonus winnings can be withdrawn. See how wagering works in casino apps.
Safer gambling tools in the Gala Bingo app
Gala Bingo's tool list, as published by an independent review, is longer than most: a budget calculator, self-assessment, ads management, deposit limits, a maximum stake limit, a deposit curfew, reality checks, play breaks, account closure, time-outs, self-exclusion and GAMSTOP. A deposit curfew, which stops deposits during hours you choose, is less common and can help if late-night play is a pattern.
Outside the app, iPhone Screen Time can limit or block it; our guide to blocking casino apps with Screen Time shows how. GAMSTOP (opens in a new tab) blocks all GB-licensed gambling for 6 months, 1 year or 5 years, which would cover Gala, Coral and Ladbrokes alike. Free, confidential help is on 0808 8020 133, the National Gambling Helpline, 24/7.
Is the Gala Bingo app safe? Licence and regulatory record
The app runs under a full UK licence held by LC International Limited; you can confirm it on the Gambling Commission register (opens in a new tab). In August 2022, LC International agreed to pay £14 million (a £13,455,952 payment in lieu of a penalty plus £544,048.03 in divestment) over anti-money-laundering and safer gambling failures between December 2019 and October 2020. The action covered the licensee as a whole; Gala wasn't named specifically.
Bingo in many formats plus slots, Slingo and live casino in one app.
Long list of safer gambling tools, including a deposit curfew.
£5 minimum deposit for most methods.
Drawbacks
Privacy label details weren't recorded for this page; check them before installing.

Welcome offer is bingo-only, not for slots or casino.

Alternatives to the Gala Bingo iPhone app with a welcome offer
We don't have an offer with Gala Bingo. If you mostly want slots and casino rather than bingo, the Coral Casino iPhone app and the Ladbrokes Casino iPhone app are close matches on the technical side, with the same iOS 18.0 minimum and similar sizes.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a Gala Bingo app for iPhone?
Yes, it's on the App Store as Gala - Bingo & Slot Games, with Gala as the seller. It needs iOS 18.0 or later, is a 99.7 MB download and carries an 18+ rating in the Casino category. The app combines bingo rooms with slots, Slingo, scratchcards and live casino, and has no sports betting. Our Gala Bingo app review covers the brand's games, payments and support in more depth.
What iOS version does the Gala Bingo app need?
It needs iOS 18.0 or later on iPhone and iPadOS 18.0 or later on iPad. On a Mac, it needs macOS 15.0 on an Apple M1 chip or later, and Apple Vision Pro needs visionOS 2.0. To check your iPhone, open Settings, then General, then About. If your phone can't update to iOS 18, you may be able to use the Gala Bingo website in Safari instead. See casino apps on older phones for options.
How big is the Gala Bingo app?
The App Store lists the download as 99.7 MB. That's slightly smaller than the Coral Casino app at 101.6 MB and Ladbrokes Casino at 101.2 MB. Installed apps usually grow beyond their download size as they cache game files and updates, so it's sensible to keep a few hundred megabytes free. If space is tight, iOS can offload unused apps while keeping their data. Our guide to casino app storage space explains more.
What's the difference between Gala Bingo and Gala Spins?
Gala Bingo combines bingo rooms with casino games, while Gala Spins: Online Casino is a standalone casino app from the same developer. If you mainly play bingo, including 90-ball and 75-ball rooms or the TV-themed games, Gala Bingo is the one to download. If you only want slots and live tables, the casino app keeps bingo out of the way. Our best bingo apps list compares bingo-focused options from our partners.
Who owns the Gala Bingo app?
Gala Bingo is part of Entain, and its UK licence is held by LC International Limited, Gambling Commission account 54743. The App Store shows the seller as Gala, with Gala Interactive (Gibraltar) Limited as the provider. LC International also runs Coral and Ladbrokes, so the three brands share a licence holder. That matters if you're thinking of claiming welcome offers at more than one. See our glossary entry on Entain for the wider group.
Does the Gala Bingo app work on iPad?
Yes, the listing says it's designed for iPad and needs iPadOS 18.0 or later. A bigger screen helps with bingo, where several tickets and a chat window compete for space. The same iPad version also runs on Macs with Apple M1 or later chips, although Apple notes it isn't verified for macOS. Our guide to casino apps on iPad covers orientation, notifications and Screen Time settings on tablets.
Is the Gala Bingo iPhone app safe to use?
It's run under a full UK licence held by LC International Limited, which means UK rules on age checks, fair terms, complaints and safer gambling tools apply. The licence holder did agree to a £14 million settlement in 2022 over failures between 2019 and 2020, though Gala wasn't named specifically. Download only the listing sold by Gala and check its privacy label before installing. Our guide asking are casino apps safe covers the wider checks.
Can I use Apple Pay in the Gala Bingo app?
Yes, independent reviews list Apple Pay as a deposit method, alongside debit cards, PayPal and others, with a £5 minimum for most methods. Withdrawals are listed to debit cards, PayPal, Neteller and Skrill, so an Apple Pay deposit would normally be paid back to your card. Credit cards can't be used for gambling in Great Britain, even inside Apple Pay. Some payment methods are excluded from the welcome offer. See Apple Pay casino apps for more.
