Bingo 7 Review

Bingo 7 is a British-focused website where players can play 75-ball and 90-ball bingo 24 hours a day. The site’s logo features a number 7 bingo ball wrapped in a cloud accompanied by an aeroplane flying past with the exhortation to “Join now”. This is followed by an animation of a spinning bonus wheel and information about a 200% first deposit bonus when you join followed by the opportunity to spin the wheel to find out how much bonus cash you've won.

You can win up to £2,500 in a single spin but you’re more likely to win a smaller amount such as £10. While the site itself looks attractive, the text on the homepage makes very little sense. For example its About section reads “Welcome to bingo 7 online bingo site where the men are men and the women aren't – good news for the balls”. What on earth does that mean?

Jumpman Gaming are licenced by the United Kingdom Gambling Commission to provide gaming services within the UK.

Because there’s the ability to participate in chat games, Bingo 7 also employ the services of chat moderators who are on hand to keep things civil in the chat rooms.

Doing Your Banking

The deposit options you can choose from consist of Visa Debit, Visa Credit, Visa Electron, Maestro, Mastercard and Solo. These are the only deposit options that are available to customers of the site. The minimum deposit amount is £5 with your first deposit and £10 with all subsequent deposits. As for withdrawals, it will take 48 hours for withdrawal requests to be processed. After that it can apparently take anywhere between 7 and 14 days for the money to show up on your card.

Help Yourself

If you've signed up at Bingo 7, the first thing you should do is help yourself to the 200% casino bonus. At the same time you can spin the bonus wheel to try and win anywhere between £5 and £2,500. As a new player, you’ll also be entitled to play in the free bingo room which is in operation daily from 8pm to 11pm. The site offers additional promotions every week for regular players, but unfortunately the page detailing these is currently broken.

It can be confirmed however that there are bingo games with special prizes and additional bonuses. It all starts with the promotion named Monday Madness where the value of online and full house wins are reversed. At the weekend, there’s another promotion called Friday Night Takeaway with the winner claiming a £50 takeaway voucher. Then there’s a promotion called Weekend Wad when there are bonus funds worth £300 after thrown into the mix.

Loyalty Rewarded

There’s a loyalty scheme and a VIP scheme in operation at Bingo 7. There are various ways to accrue loyalty points. For example, introduce a friend to the site and you'll receive 5,000 loyalty points. In the VIP scheme, there are five tiers starting with Member followed by Bronze, Silver, Gold and finally Black. As you rise up the levels of the VIP scheme you can expect to be awarded additional bonuses. These include cashback, birthday bonuses, mystery gifts, higher deposit bonuses and invitations to exclusive VIP jackpot games.

90-Ball and 70-Ball

There’s all kinds of bingo to be played at Bingo 7 just as you would hope and expect. There are only two specific types of bingo though, 90-ball and 75-ball. In fairness, these account for the bulk of the games that players typically participate in at bingo sites. If you've never played bingo before, the site has a complete playing card that will guide you through the process. To be honest there isn't a whole lot to it. With 90-ball bingo there are three ways to win, by completing one line, two lines or full house. This is achieved by being the first player to complete a row of numbers on the 3 by 9 grid.

In the 75-ball bingo there a 24 numbers on a 5 by 5 grid including a free square that sits in the centre. With this game, players aim to tick off predesigned patterns that can resemble shapes, numbers and letters of the alphabet. Tickets for bingo games cost between 1p and £1 depending on the value of the jackpot at stake. With many of these games the value of the jackpot depends on how many players have entered the game, but there are some games where there is a guaranteed jackpot on the line. It’s possible to win up to £2,000 playing bingo at Bingo 7 even if you're more likely to notch smaller wins on a daily basis. That's not to say you can't enter the big jackpot games and hope for the best; after all, someone’s got to win the top prize.

Winners Page

If you would like reassurance that Bingo 7 is indeed a genuine bingo site, you should check out the winners page. There’s a list of the most recent winners on the site although it's unclear whether the sums were won playing bingo or slots. It's also worth noting that some of these winners appear on most of the websites operated by the gaming company Jumpman Gaming Limited. In other words there's no way to tell which of these sums were won playing at Bingo 7 or at one of the company's many other bingo websites. The highest recorded wind is over £18,000 with other wins including one for £14,000 and several others that number around £3,000 or £4,000.

It Does What It Says…

Let’s be honest, Bingo 7 is a pretty unexceptional site. It reads like it was put together in a hurry and there is very little about this site to differentiate it from other sites – even those operated by the same company. The ability to spin a bonus wheel to win additional cash after making a first deposit and indeed all subsequent deposits of £10 or more is a nice touch, but it's going to take more than that to entice discerning players to sign up.

There's nothing wrong with the bingo games themselves and the value of the jackpots that can be won, together with the cost of entry to these games, is fine. The slots and mini games are less exciting however, not least because they surface at all of the company’s other sites. Bingo 7 then: if you wanna play bingo and a small selection of slots, it’ll do.
