Virtue Fusion launched in 1999 and was acquired by Playtech in 2010, giving Playtech what it calls “the largest bingo network in the industry”.

Within the wider Playtech online bingo network, sites offer multiple languages, multiple currencies, standalone and networked games, and site-specific side games too. Playtech’s software platform powers sites across Britain, Europe and America, making it a real global force.

Why choose Virtue Fusion?

Virtue Fusion bingo sites are relatively standalone in terms of the promos and bonuses they choose to run. Depending on which site you choose within the Virtue Fusion network, it is likely that the exact amount you need to deposit in order to get a bonus, and the amount of extra credit you receive as a result, will both be slightly different from the vast majority of other websites.

Bigger name brands tend to opt for the Virtue Fusion platform too. For example, Gala Bingo and Mecca Bingo are both powered by PlayTech’s bingo software, and Sun Bingo recently made the jump from Gamesys too. If you’re interested in playing bingo at the biggest, most recognised sites, Virtue Fusion stands head and shoulders above its competitors.

Why is this the case though? What does Virtue Fusion do differently to other software platforms? Let’s take a look.

Great bingo and slot games

For starters, Virtue Fusion sites get the basics right. With both 75 and 90 ball bingo games, fans of both games can get their fill – free bingo games are also available! Plus, thanks to the brand new HTML5 lobby (now in place at the vast majority of sites on the network), these games have never looked better.

If you’re more of a slot player, you’re in luck too. PlayTech’s range of exclusive slot games is impressive, featuring three different variants of Rainbow Riches, and a host of other titles. New games are added on a regular basis too, meaning there’s always something new to play.

Plus, there’s a decent range of progressive jackpot slot games too. And thanks to the popularity of the Virtue Fusion network, these jackpots are constantly growing – one spin could be win you a fortune.

Exclusive bingo variants

Virtue Fusion also offers far more exclusive bingo games than any other bingo software. Variants like Rainbow Riches Bingo and Cash Cubes Bingo aren’t just exciting new twists on the traditional bingo game – they’re also only available at specific sites.

Deal Or No Deal also has an exclusive licensing deal with PlayTech, meaning only Virtue Fusion sites can host the bingo variant based on the hit TV show. In fact, Virtue Fusion has an entire site dedicated to the game; Deal Or No Deal Bingo has a ton of exclusive content, and is well worth a visit if you’re looking for something completely new.

If you’re interested in exclusive games, make sure you take a look at Gala Bingo too. Some games (like The Chase Bingo and Big Banker Bingo) are completely exclusive to Gala specifically, putting the site among the best that the Virtue Fusion network has to offer.

Big network promotions

While most sites on the network host their own branded promotions, PlayTech usually hosts linked network jackpot games and offers which put huge prizes up for grabs.

For example, the £1 Million Slots Prize Draw is a regular feature on Virtue Fusion sites, inviting players to play on a wide variety of slot games, and earn entries to a prize draw. Few networks can offer prizes of this size, so players of all descriptions are getting value for money.

Chat games and hosts

Finally, because the network is so popular, Virtue Fusion bingo rooms tend to be buzzing and chatty. If you enjoy the social side of bingo, you’re going to love this.

Of course, all this is aided by some excellent chat hosts. Most sites employ their own chat hosts too, so you get a personalised experience that few networks can offer. And there’s loads of fun chat games to enjoy too, ensuring there’s never a dull moment in a bingo room.

What issues does Virtue Fusion have?

While there’s a lot to love about the Virtue Fusion network, it does have some issues. For starters, the wagering requirements on first deposit and no deposit bingo bonuses seem to be a bit high when compared with other sites.

Gala Bingo has a 4x wagering requirement on its welcome bonus, for example. This is an average figure, but it would be nice to see sites on the network take a stand and better their competitors.

Some popular slot games (like Fluffy Favourites) aren’t licensed for use on Virtue Fusion sites too. While this doesn’t really detract from the range of games, many players will be disappointed that a small selection of popular titles are missing.

The future of Virtue Fusion

What lies ahead for Virtue Fusion sites? Well, for the past year or so, PlayTech has been focusing on streamlining all its products, to make things seamless for mobile users. More and more players are choosing to visit bingo sites from their mobile phone or tablet, and PlayTech wants to ensure everybody is getting an identical experience.

The new HTML5 lobbies are the first step on this path, and we’re sure PlayTech has bigger plans in store to ensure Virtue Fusion sites are ahead of the competition. If the developer continues to put the ever-growing mob of mobile players first, it’s hard to see people turning away from the software anytime soon.

In addition, new bingo sites are constantly being added to the network. Here’s a list of recent additions to the Virtue Fusion software, including some sites that are expected to launch soon:
