UK bingo rooms experiences

Yahooooooooooooooo! It's Yahoo Bingo.  :P :P

My first impression was that this is a bright site and looks nice and easy to navigate.  I registered with no problem and put in the LBB £2 no deposit bonus code LBB02.  I got a confirmation that the code had been accepted.  I received an activation email and clicked the appropriate link which then confirmed that my account was now valid and activated.

I logged in but only saw a credit of £1 despite the bonus code being for £2.  I then heard my mobile message delivery tone and there was a text message from Yahoo! with a bonus code in.  I entered the bonus code (you will see "Bonus code" next to your balance on the front screen when you have logged in) and the 2nd £1 free money was credited at that point.

They have some great slots on this site like Chain Reactors and Monopoly along with scratchcards and arcade games...and bingo of course.

I decided to have a go in the 5p room.  I was pleasantly surprised by the layout which you can see below.

Your cash balance is right at the top of the screen and just below on the left hand side, it shows you how many numbers the best cards need until they bingo which I thought was a nice feature.  Below that, there are quick links to all the slots and scratchcards and finally under that, the chatroom.  I was welcomed by the chat mod which was nice...along will the other bingo players that had joined the room at the same time and you can see the welcome in the picture.  They were playing chat games which is only for depositors and I found the chat mod was really helpful and friendly as were the players in the room.

Back up to the top in the middle are the details of number of players....as you can see it was a busy room...along with the value of the prizes.  It flashes between 1 line and Full House.

Top right hand side are the numbers that have been called and the current bingo ball and then beneath that are the cards.

Purchasing cards was easy and I was given free cards on most of the games (but I couldn't see that written anywhere) which was a nice surprise.

Overall I enjoyed this site for ease of getting the bonus, finding my way around and the friendliness of the chat mod.  I wouldn't hesitate in depositing at this site.

Are there any particular UK sites anyone would like me to post about?

I'll take that as a no then!

I just signed up to Butlers Bingo (NO USA).  Registration was simple - no credit/debit cards required and they are offering a free £10/€12 for new players.

I logged in and at the top of the page it said welcome and my name and yet underneath it said to log in.  I found this a bit confusing and I think the top part of the screen doesn't "talk" to the bottom part of the screen.  I clicked on go to lobby and was greeted with the screen below.

There were 3 rooms to choose from and as you can see, slots, scratch cards and casino games at the bottom.

I picked the cheapest room (5p cards) and as I arrived in the game lobby, a message popped up offering me the the free money.  So I accepted that (of course) and waited for the current game to finish before purchasing my cards.

If you look at the bingo room below you can see the message offering the free money.  On the left is the chat and I also spotted the list of words you can click on but the thing is with those, if you click on it, it says it as well as types it!  Really strange I thought.  At the top are the prizes for that game - which were pretty low as there weren't too many players.  Top right, the balls that have been called and underneath that is where you purchase and view your tickets.

I played a few games whilst I was there.  Easy to buy the tickets and you get free tickets in some games too.  On about the third game, I got a full house and then on the 4th game, I won 2 lines and the full house.  The money you win from the bingo counts as real cash and can be used on the slots, which you can see a quick link to at the bottom of the screen.

Of course, as this is microgaming, they have some of their best slots on there like Deck the Halls and Avalon.

It's a nice site and the members are friendly and with the free money to try them out, it's definitely worth visiting Butlers.

I signed up to JackpotJoy BIngo (NO USA).  The registration process was very simple and there was no need to register my payment detail straight away.

I decided to make a deposit on this site as there was no free money.  Again, a simple process using Neteller and during the deposit process you can select to receive the 200% welcome bonus or not.  I decided to receive it and got £30 for my £10 deposit.  The extra cash was immediately in my account and so, I was all set to play bingo.

I clicked on the 90 ball bingo option and the screen  loaded and shows all the available games including 75 ball bingo, slots, scratchcards etc.  See the screenshot below.  You can also see the FREE tab.  My curiosity got the better of me and I decided to take a look.  Wow - what a nice little surprise that was.  You get 6 chances every day for a week (after you deposit) to win up to 50 free spins or up to £750 cash.  You can also play bejeweled 2 - you can play 5 times a day to get to the top of the leaderboard.  It looks like the top 3 can win a prize of some kind but it's not clear what the prize is or if there is one.  I had 2 games and managed to get 4th - I will definitely have another game later. 

You can see the different priced 90 ball bingo rooms too.

The screenshot below is the 90 ball bingo room I picked the cheapest cards at 5p a card. 

You can see the chatbox on the right hand side - the chat mod's chat is highlighted yellow and all the players chat is highlighted blue.  In the middle you can see my cards and to the left hand side, the prizes available this game (with a very nice jackpot prize if you bingo in 36 numbers or less of £41k+)  To the right of the prizes area, you should be able to see how many people are in the room (297) so this is a very busy site indeed.  Bottom left is a shortcut to the scratchcards, slots etc.

I quite like this site - it's bright, easy to use, friendly CM's and members and the welcome bonus is pretty good too.

Definitely give it a try if you can.

So I checked out the Snap! on JackpotJoy Bingo as my curiosity was definitely getting the better of me (also available on Sun Bingo)

Basically, you can buy up to 5 hands and 5 cards in each hand from a normal deck of 52, are revealed.  First of all, you can win bonus cash from getting a poker hand from two pairs upwards.  The better the poker hand, the more you can win.

Then once the game begins, a deck of cards is turned over one card at a time and each time you match a card in your hand with the card turned over by the "dealer" and depending on it's position in your hand, depends on whether you get an S or N or A or P or !.  Once you have matched and covered all 5 cards in the hand and it reads SNAP!, you are the winner of the prize pool.

See the (excuse the pun) Snapshot below:

It is quite an addictive game and it's cheap to play.

Sadly both sites are NO USA.

Zoom Bingo (NO USA) is where I signed up to today.

It was a really easy sign up process and as soon as I clicked register, it logged me in and my exclusive £20 free bingo money was available to use.  I had a quick look around the home page.  They have a few nice promos at the moment, for example from 16th to 22nd November, the top 3 players who wager the most on their scratchcards and 3 reel slots, will share a prize of £150 and interestingly, another promotion where the top 5 losers between 11th and 20th November will share 200BBs...and that's for losing!  They also offer a very nice first deposit bonus of 300% with a minimum deposit of £10 up to a whopping £100. 

So I headed off to the 75 ball 5p a ticket room where there were 16 players.

It was simple to buy the tickets and whilst I was waiting I had a quick look around the room.  At the very top, you can see the menu.  Games menu is all the games including scratchcards, casino games, slots etc.; settings is where you can turn off the sound, change your dauber colour and style, history shows the last game winners and help is of course the help.  Top left and below the menu is where it shows how many tickets you have bought and the total cost.  Below that are the tickets themselves.  Top right are the balls called and the prize money for the game.  Underneath that on the right hand side is a mini game which I did have a go on and I think could be quite addictive.  There's a dropdown but only a couple of games in it to choose from.  Finally, underneath that is the chat area.

I found it very easy to get around this site.  It's not too busy but those that are playing are very friendly.

The good thing about this site is that you can play slots with your free money, which I know some sites don't allow.
