Bingo Reviews: April 2008 Archives

The name of this online bingo site would suggest a Scottish orientated site similar to Bingo Scotland but this isn't the case. The site is part of The Gaming Network and nothing about it screams Scotland to me, not the colour scheme, the logo or even the bingo caller.

Before I start the review can I just say for any male online bingo players reading this there are no page three girls on show anywhere across their online bingo site so if you are looking for half naked woman you won't find them at Sun Bingo. Although being another online bingo site which originally started with the newspaper bingo games I can see why it could be expected.

As with many online bingo sites nowadays they started life as bingo cards in the daily newspaper and Mirror Bingo is no different. It was back in the 80's that The Daily Mirror used to offer bingo cards in their newspaper and numbers were printed daily but now you don't have to wait for your bingo numbers in the paper, pop along to their online bingo site.

First thing I did when I saw the name of this online bingo site was chuckle to myself and oh how I wish I could explain to you why. All I will say is that "cyber" in an online chat room means so much more than "of, relating to, or involving computers or computer networks".

Registration takes no time at all to Cyber Bingo but you will need to activate your account through a link sent to your registered email address so ensure that you have entered it correctly.

How many of your have registered with Friends Reunited to catch up with old school chums or old drinking pals? I know I have and even gone so far as to post some rather embarrassing school photos.

What I didn't notice for a little while was that they also offer online bingo so doing what I do best it's only fair that I review their bingo game.

Busy Bingo wasn't one of the sites on the list provided by the boss and it wasn't one I had ever heard of but a friend mentioned the name to me and I'm always keen to find and try new online bingo sites. Well Busy Bingo may be new, or simply one I had never heard of but it is the same as all the other St Minver / Parlay sites, just a different "skin."

The Palaces Bingo offers no free welcome bonus but they do offer £150 joining bonus after you have made your first deposit at their online bingo site. This comes in £5 increments over the first 30 days of your membership. The bonuses are triggered by playing the previous day until you have received the full £150.

The World Bingo club appears at first glance to be a free online bingo site offering prizes to players but I could not for the life of me figure out how you win the prizes. It's not clear from the outset. I registered an account and logged into the site got taken to the bingo room and have a balance of $250.00.

Vernons has always been a name that is synonymous with football pools to me so I was a little shocked to find they also provided online bingo.

It's obviously not the only thing their site provides as they do pools, lottery games and much more as well as bingo.

Rehab Bingo? Do you think Amy Winehouse frequents this online bingo site? The name would indicate as such - maybe her famous song Rehab was inspired by this online bingo site?

When registering a new account with Rehab Bingo ensure that you have entered your email address correctly as you will need to activate your account through a link sent to your email address used at registration.

When you register a new account with Crazy Bingo you will instantly be credited with £1 free to try the games available. If you decide to make a deposit you can earn 100% cash match on your first deposit up to £250.

Your free pound may take a couple of minutes to show in your account but it will be there within 10 minutes.

Fancy £5 free to play bingo with? If you're answer is yes then head on over to All Bingo Club, the newest online bingo site on the Microgaming software platform.

All new players will automatically receive £5 in their account when they complete the registration process and first deposits up to £100 free with all other deposits earning up to £25 free.

Happy Slots Bingo offers new players 1000 loyalty points free when they register an account at their online bingo site. This is easily redeemed for £1's worth of free bingo. If you like the site enough to make a deposit then you will receive 100% cash match on your first deposit.

Happy Slots Bingo runs on the 888 Holdings (previously Globalcom) and is "powered" by Cashcade.

Bingo Magix is the newest addition to the online bingo sites using the Cozy Games software platform and is offering all new players a £15 no deposit required welcome bonus. If you do decide to deposit your first deposit amount will be tripled with a 300% cash match bonus.

£5 free should get you started at Exotic Bingo's online bingo site but how bizarre, you complete the registration process, log in to your account and the bonus has become $10. The address I went to was the .co.uk, surely it's quite obvious I want to play in pounds and not dollars?

Do you fancy a game of online bingo with Betty Eagleton? Well you won't get to meet Betty when playing bingo at Emmerdale Bingo but there is a nice clip of her, Pearl Ladderbanks and Bob Hope preparing for a night of bingo at the Woolpack as you enter the site.

Although Leo Leisure Bingo has an online bingo presense in so far as it is part of the Bingo Bonanza network that uses the Virtue Fusion bingo software plaftorm I was more interested to read about their land based bingo halls. They have one in Eastleigh, Hampshire and another in Ryde on the Isle of Wight.

All new players registering with Park Bingo will get £1's worth of free bingo at their online bingo site. To ensure you get the full £1 you will need to validate your account through the email that is sent upon completition of the registration process. Make sure you use a valid email address.

Although Bingo Zest do offer a £20 free welcome bonus that doesn't require a deposit it's a bit of a poor show that you can only use it in the Banana Room (the free trial room). I find this really frustrating at a few online bingo sites mainly because in my mind the whole point of a welcome bonus is so that you can try before you buy!

Well I was really looking forward to compiling this review, I was hoping that they would throw in a Gin with the tonic but I was to de disappointed.

When you either type in the web address www.bingotonic.co.uk or www.bingotonic.com you simply get redirected to 888 Ladies Bingo, so what's happened to Bingo Tonic I ask myself?

All answers on a postcard please!

Registration to Bingo Today's online bingo site was the simplest I've come across to date, all that was needed for the initial registration was an email address, username and a password. Something that did impress me about Bingo Today was the fact that as soon as you complete the registration a page opens showing all the Terms and Conditions and reminding you that the £5 free is not withdrawable.

Bingos UK are part of the same network as Bingo Friends and Bingos and as with all of the online bingo sites on this network they use the Parlay software for their bingo game. Registration is simple with no financial details required unless you want to deposit.

Registration to Bingo Palace is pretty much industry standard but without the need for any financial details unless you decide you wish to deposit funds. You are given an account number instantly and able to login without activating your account.

First impressions last in my opinion and I have to say I wasn't overly impressed with Bingonanza's home page, it's off centre, maybe I'm just too picky.

Having started on a negative let's move on quickly and say that the registration process was really simple and in no time at all I was ready to play bingo.

Registration to Bingo Mania's online bingo site was a really easy process and no credit card details where required. Ensure that you use a valid email address to register with as you will need to activate your account to receive your 20 free bingo cards.

Yet another online bingo site with a very apt name, for me anyway, as I am a huge Bingo addict.

What I found a tad confusing was that although I registered with the site called Bingo Addict, when I entered the bingo lobby it showed a logo for Bingogo???

Bingo.com offers all new players a £5 welcome bonus, no deposit required and it is credited into your account the moment you complete the registration process using a valid email address.
Their first deposit offer is "deposit £5 and get £10 bonus free" which equates to a 200% cash match bonus.

Bingo Loopy offers all new players to their online bingo site a £1 welcome bonus which requires no deposit. I always like to have some free money to try the site before I decide to deposit.

If you do make the decision to deposit you will receive 100% cash match up to £250 on your first deposit.

Club 3000 Bingo is one of the new style live online bingo sites to be launched where you can actually see the bingo caller and interact with them.

Registration to the site was really easy and their was no requirement for your credit card details. Although you don't get a no deposit required welcome bonus - if you deposit £15 you will receive £10 free.
