Costa Bingo Shop

What is the Costa Bingo Shop?

The Costa Bingo Shop is the site's loyalty store. Cash stakes on bingo and slots earn Shop Coins, and you spend those coins in the Shop on free spins, bingo tickets, bonuses or cash.

The official page that explains it is called "It's Shopping Time", and its opening line sums it up: get Shop Coins for your cash stakes and redeem them for free spins, bonuses and cash prizes. It is the main ongoing reward for existing players, and the only first-party route to free spins, since the welcome offer is a games bonus. The whole scheme fits in a few rules, which we go through below with the official numbers. The sign-up deal is covered separately on our welcome offer page.

How do you earn Shop Coins at Costa Bingo?

Every £1 of cash wagered on bingo earns one Shop Coin, and every £10 of cash wagered on slots or instant games earns one. Coins on slots are counted in £10 steps.

The rates make the Costa Bingo Shop far more generous to bingo players than to slots players: ten times more coins per pound. With tickets from 1p to 50p, that pound can cover a lot of games in 90-ball rooms such as Top of the Shop or Flip it. On slots, the official example is exact: wager £19 and you earn one coin, not almost two.

What can you buy in the Costa Bingo Shop?

The official page lists free spins, bonuses and cash, and notes that bingo tickets bought there appear with free spins in the Rewards / Vouchers tab at your next login. Cash goes into the cash balance.

Each reward type carries its own rules. Bingo bonus rewards have 2x wagering and games bonus rewards 10x, both with a 5-day expiry. Free-spin winnings may be capped and are paid to the Games Bonus balance. The coin price of each reward is set inside the Shop, so compare prices there before you buy. The spins route is covered in more depth on our free spins page.

Who can collect Shop Coins?

Only funded players, meaning anyone who has deposited at least once, and only on cash stakes. Bonus play does not earn coins.

That rules out the shop as a free starting point. A new account with no deposit earns nothing here, which is why our no deposit page points to the free room On the House for anyone who wants to try the lobby without paying. Once you have deposited, coins build up on every cash ticket and spin.

Can you use Costa Bingo Shop Coins on sister sites?

Yes, on most of them. The official terms say Shop Coins can be earned and redeemed across most sister sites under the same licence where a loyalty scheme exists, linked by your email address.

In practice, coins earned on Costa Bingo can be spent on a sister brand that runs the same scheme, as long as you use the same email address there. We could not confirm a shared cash wallet between the sites, so treat the balance and the coins as separate things. The sister brands are listed on our sister sites page.

The Costa Bingo Shop compared with the welcome offer

The two work differently. The welcome offer is a one-off games bonus on your first deposit, while the Shop rewards every cash stake for as long as you play.

For a bingo player, the Shop is usually the better deal: the welcome bonus cannot buy bingo tickets, while Shop bingo rewards carry only 2x wagering. For a slots player, the welcome offer gives more up front. The two are not either-or: a new player can take GAME50 on the first deposit and still earn coins on every cash stake from then on, because the coins come from cash play rather than from any code. The real trade-off is in how you spend the deposit. Cash used on bingo earns ten times the coins of cash used on slots, while the welcome bonus only opens up once the cash balance reaches zero, so a player who wants both should decide in advance how much of the deposit goes to the rooms.

How do you avoid losing your Shop Coins?

Log in at least once every 5 days and use rewards within their 5-day window. If you do not log in for 5 days, bonuses including Shop Coins and unwagered winnings are forfeited without further notice.

Two more rules apply to what you buy. A Shop purchase is final, with no changes or refunds. And a withdrawal forfeits any remaining bonus balances and free spins, so play a Shop bonus through before cashing out. Wagering details are on our bonus terms page.

Where do the other Costa Bingo reward guides sit?

Each reward question has its own page.

For the sign-up deal, see the welcome offer page and the promo code guide. Spins bought with coins are on the free spins page, free play on the no deposit page, and the rooms where coins come quickest on the bingo rooms page. The Costa Bingo overview covers everything else. Set a deposit limit through Financial Limits before you chase coins, and if play stops being fun, call the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133.
