The Bingo Boutique Casino Review

The Bingo Boutique is a chic little site that’s modelled on a fashion store. If the name of the site didn’t make that clear, the logo, depicting a coat hanger, should have. From an aesthetic perspective, The Bingo Boutique is a pretty little site, with complementary colours and a design that’s clean and effective. It ain’t stunning, but it does the job. The biggest problem with the homepage of this site, and indeed with all sites operated by this company, lies with its spinning bonus wheel which is downright annoying. We get it: you can spin the wheel and win some bonus cash when you decide to make a deposit.

That’s great but there’s no need to illustrate this with a bonus wheel zooming round at 90 miles an hour and distracting and detracting from everything else. The worst part arrives when the infernal wheel comes to rest and a cheap and tacky pop-up message reads “You could have won £2500!!” Firstly, calm it with the double exclamation marks and secondly, please provide proof that anyone has ever won £2,500 from spinning the bonus wheel. It may have occurred at some point, but as they say on Wikipedia, citation needed.

About The Bingo Boutique

The Bingo Boutique is the product of Jumpman Gaming Limited, one of the laziest and most derivative major gaming operators in the UK. Most of their sites are awful, and the ones that look marginally better still offer the same tired games and promotions. Still, they presumably must be doing well enough at this sort of stuff to turn a profit or they wouldn’t still be here, churning out more of the same sites and attracting new players. The Bingo Boutique might not be the best bingo site on the web, but that annoying wheel aside it looks the part, or at least good enough to entice players to take the plunge.

Jumpman Gaming are licensed and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission, and it’s British-based players who will form the bulk of the site’s target market. Quite how many players elect to sign up remains to be seen however. Take a look at The Bingo Boutique Facebook page and it would be easy to conclude that there’s absolutely nothing happening here. Jumpman Gaming have a tendency to create social media pages and then abandon them before they’ve even had a chance to get going and that’s exactly what they’ve done here. Their Facebook page hasn’t been touched since February 2017 and not just because they’ve been busy. You can bet your mortgage on it never being updated again.

Boutique Banking

One of the funniest things about Jumpman Gaming sites is their complete aversion to payment options other than card. It’s almost like they don’t want your custom. It’s almost like you should not give them it, plumping instead for a site where you have access to a full range of deposit options including PayPal, ewallet and bank transfer. Given that bingo is a game which attracts women primarily, the vast majority of whom will be familiar with more conventional payment options – that’s right, credit and debit card – The Bingo Boutique should do the job for most of these individuals.

Choose from Visa, Maestro, Solo, Switch and MasterCard. Just don’t ask how long it takes funds to clear back onto your card. Okay, fine: it takes two weeks. Two weeks? Yeah, seriously. 7-14 days is the figure quoted, which is absolute insanity. You could apply for a credit card and have it posted out to you in that time. You could found your own bingo website in that time. You could walk backwards around the world and still have time left over for a weekend break with your mates.

Bonus Wheel Spin

Deposit £10 into your playing account at The Bingo Boutique and you’ll be given £20 on top to play with. At the same time, you’ll also get to spin the bonus wheel. You know; that infernal wheel that won’t stop spinning on the homepage. Theoretically you could win up to £2,500 from a single spin. In practice, you’re more likely to receive the minimum £10. There are some other promotions to be found on the site, though don’t hold your breath – there’s not a lot here to get excited about. There’s a monthly promotion, for instance, based around slots, with some kind of incentive offered to try out the featured game. As an indication of how dated this site is already and how much more dated it’s destined to become, its promotions page is bigging up an easter promo, even though easter is long gone.

Other bonuses to be claimed at The Bingo Boutique include VIP jackpots: players who reach bronze level or higher will be eligible for the £500 VIP jackpot game which is hosted on the first Saturday of each month. Tickets cost £1 apiece. There’s a reload bonus available on the site too, one which varies between 25% and 75% when you deposit between £10 and £200, and there’s the obligatory Monday Madness promo. This one operates between 4pm and 7pm and enables you to win a full house jackpot simply for completing one line.

Doing the Job

The bingo games that The Bingo Boutique hosts are nothing special, but they do the job provided you’re into 75-ball and 90-ball bingo. Tickets are cheap and you don’t have to wait long until your next bingo game starts. Purchase multiple tickets for a single game if you’d like to boost your chances of winning. If you’re not feeling the bingo or have simply had enough of it, head on over to the casino at The Bingo Boutique where there are slots aplenty.

It’s the same wretched games that surface at all these sites. It’s astonishing that a gambling operator could think it was a good idea to create several hundred identical games sporting exactly the same games. What exactly were they hoping to achieve? For the record, you can play games such as Temple of Isis, Irish Luck and Shaman’s Dream.

Bingo Boutique Conclusion

The Bingo Boutique is a reasonably good looking site that sucks in every other respect. Sure, you can play bingo here, but there are so much better sites you could sign up at that are actually unique and original and interesting. The Bingo Boutique is none of those things. It’s a clone of a site that was never good to start with and which isn’t any better now that the slots are starting to show their age.

From promotions to payment options, nothing about this site inspires confidence. You’d do well to seek out an alternative site whose operators have attempted to make some semblance of a vibrant bingo community. There’s none of that to be found here: just naff games and platitudes galore.
