The 2015 world champion completed a 3-0 win over Jamie Clarke, drew 2-2 with world number 74 Jordon Brown before his 94 break against Walden in a 2-2 draw saw him progress to the semi-final group stage at the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes.
Walden was a 3-0 winner over Clarke, but two 2-2 draws against Brown and Bingham saw him denied on the highest break difference despite equalling Bingham on five points.
Northern Irishman Brown needed a 3-0 win against Clarke and a break over 94 to progress in his final match, but lost 3-0 to Welsh world number 90 Clarke, who finished third in Group One.
Bingham will face five-times world champion Ronnie O'Sullivan and Harvey Chandler in Group C on Tuesday with the winner of Group Six joining them.
"I don't make it easy on myself," said Bingham. "Watching it all week, the winners are all on seven points, but I'm over the moon to get through on five.
"Harvey and Ronnie next up, so ready for a few more days. Considering I haven't played a competitive match for three or four months, I'm happy."
Ben Woollaston won Group Eight courtesy of a 3-0 win over Liam Highfield, a 3-0 victory over Thor Chuan Leong and a 2-2 draw with Jimmy Robertson.
