Goldy Bingo

Introduction

Launched in March 2018 on Cozy Games platform and part of the Live Bingo Network, Goldy Bingo is operated by ElectraWorks and owns two gambling licenses – one by UKGC, for British players and another by Gibraltar's government for everyone else. It's a decently varied place with some familiar regular promotions and a couple of seasonal ones, a fine selection of bingo games and good perks for new players working as an incentive for them to join.

Goldy Bingo's site is appealing enough. It is adorned in dark purple hues with certain golden elements, conveying the emotion of opulence and affluence. The landing screen is the simple main menu leading to different game pages, promotions and a help page. Log in form is located just above it, and beneath is the large banner giving you the legal run-down of site's welcome offer (a bonus on first three deposits, which is quite lovely). A filtered selection of certain games, bingo games schedule, a welcome message and obligatory links to T&C's, Privacy policies and the rest down at the footer round off the largely understated design and visual impression. Playing on your mobile devices of any kind is as easy as logging in on your desktop computer.

Looking at the promo offers, this is where things tend to get a bit thin. Being a part of a large network and a widely used platform can be a good thing, but it can also have an alienating effect on potential punters – because there is little of what they haven't seen elsewhere. Shared promotions with a bunch of other bingo sites won't have you pleasantly surprised, though it has to be said, the welcome offer all new players get here is one of the finest around: not only do they get welcome bonus on three deposits, there is also the opportunity to enjoy one whole week of £3000 in free bingo games! While that is outstanding, not much else captures imagination: Midweek Treat with a modest cash prize, seasonal deals and, certainly the best of all, £1000 sliding jackpot games complete the list of promos.

Certainly working in site's advantage is the excellent system of customer support that operates through several channels, all of which are at your disposal 24 hours seven days a week. On top of the responsive and very helpful assistance you get from site's support team, bingo glossary, the encyclopedic FAQ pages and resources on how to play each type of game will prove to be of vital significance when you're in doubt.

Loyalty Program

While the website itself is not too chatty on the loyalty scheme it offers, we did manage to dig out a few bits and pieces and establish that, for starters, yes, there is a loyalty plan here! In their FAQ section, we discovered that Goldy Bingo also uses the Bonus Bucks that are handed out exclusively to loyal players or during certain events and promotions. Bonus Bucks let players play games with wagering funds that are not their own so members get additional chances to win big. Also, as soon as you sign up, you are given the Loyalty status and you begin earning loyalty points by wagering with real money. £1 wagered on bingo gets you 1 point, £10 wagered on slots will earn you 1 point as well. You can use those loyalty points to redeem them for cash or bonus money. The maximum amount of points redeemable per week is 1600, or 6000 per month.

Conclusion

While not bad per se, Goldy Bingo does very little to make that extra effort and make itself extra appealing for those contemplating to join. It's as if it does not particularly care whether or not it will stand out from the ever-growing crowd of bingo sites (seriously, it's getting awfully crowded out there and it's getting increasingly harder to filter out the good from the bad). A week's worth of free bingo, attentive support, progressive bingo games and no withdrawal limits are all strong points but are weighed down by the rather bland-looking repertoire of non-bingo games, a boring share of promotions and some more cashout times that take ages. As ever, it's your call – no predatory terms have been spotted nor any wagering requirements that are impossible to reach (but not actually favorable, either) so it's safe to play here. The question is whether you will have a good time doing it.
