Treasure Bingo Review

Pirates is a recurring theme in gambling, surfacing in slots, scratch cards, bingo and any other game that can conceivably be considered to have ‘treasure’ to be won. Real piracy on the high seas, in its 18th century prime, was 99% toil and 1% treasure. Still, don’t let the reality take anything away from the jovial fantasy world that the gambling industry has conjured, one in which pirates are jolly chaps whose worst punishment mandates walking the plank, and whose lives revolve around capturing treasure, burying treasure and then recovering treasure.

Treasure Bingo vigorously embraces the pirate theme, right down to replacing instances of ‘your’ for ‘yer’ because as everyone knows that’s how pirates speak. It’s a cheerful site, one where galleons, gold and illicitly obtained booty are in constant supply. Promising its members ‘guaranteed jackpots from across the seven seas’, Treasure Bingo successfully combines frivolity with the serious business of winning pocketfuls of cash.

You can do both here, trying your utmost to scoop the major jackpots on offer whilst having a barrel of laughs in the process.

About Treasure Bingo

A Gibraltar-based gaming company, Cassava Enterprises Limited, are the driving force behind Treasure Bingo. They operate a string of similar bingo websites and have a positive reputation within the industry. 888 UK Limited operate their UK services, a company who hold a license issued by the Great Britain Gambling Commission.

In the EU, Virtual Digital Services Ltd perform a similar role. Brigend Limited, a subsidiary of Cassava Enterprises, are responsible for developing the site’s software and Mandalay Media Ltd, who are based in the Isle of Man, are responsible for maintaining the site.

Treasure Bingo bills itself as a place to enjoy free bingo, a great party atmosphere and all manner of bingo-related fun. Bingo by its nature is meant to be a sociable game, and it’s one that Treasure Bingo promote by facilitating chat games where interaction among players is encouraged.

The chat games typically have small jackpots, because it’s more about having a laugh with your fellow players than it is about scooping shedloads of cash. There are some generously large jackpots to be won at Treasure Bingo, but those are to be found in the progressive and guaranteed jackpot games.

Banking

Cassava Enterprises stick to a few firm favourites when it comes to offering deposit and withdrawal options. These are based around credit and debit card, with UK MasterCard customers enjoying quicker withdrawals. PayPal and Neteller are also available, along with Paysafecard. Visa and Maestro are the other types of card that are accepted. There’s also Entropay and bank transfer available.

The minimum withdrawal amount is £30 and withdrawal requests take 48 hours to be processed. The first time you make a withdrawal request, you may be asked to submit documentation to confirm your ID and residential address. Withdrawals will generally clear within a week; PayPal and UK MasterCard are the quickest options and bank transfer is the slowest.

Not Short of Bonuses

One thing Cassava Enterprises sites are never short of is bonuses and promotions. There’s all kinds of perks that come with being a signed up member of the site, starting with free bingo tickets that are new members when they make their first deposit. These tickets are a great way to try out the 75-ball, 90-ball and 5-line bingo available on the site. Though that means slot fans don't get a welcome offer, we think everyone knows what the focus is meant to be here!

Welcome Offer: 18+ new players only. Minimum deposit £10. Maximum amount of tickets is fixed at 120. Tickets will be awarded to 4 specified rooms only, 30 tickets per room. Max 6 tickets per game. Winnings in real cash. Withdrawal policy applies. Full T&Cs apply

The weekly and seasonal promotions to be enjoyed at Treasure Bingo are extensive, and are regularly updated all through the year. While there are plenty of conventional bingo promotions bearing bonus cash and other perks for the winners, there are more inventive ones too. One, called Merry Motherlode, sees the top player walk away with £500 worth of Pandora jewellery vouchers.

Other promotions carry such thematically appropriate names as Gold Quest, Lucky £13K and £5K Big Bang (that’s bang as in the sound of a firing cannon from a pirate ship, by the way).

Two Types of Bingo Fun

There are two main types of bingo to be played on the site, 75-ball and 90-ball bingo, but within these categories there are many variants of the game to be enjoyed. If you want to play free bingo you can do so, savouring the experience rather than counting the pennies or pounds that can be won. If you’d rather buy into a progressive jackpot game, with a prize pot running into the thousands of pounds, you can also do so.

Whatever version of the game you elect to play, getting involved couldn’t be easier. Just make sure you purchase your tickets prior to the game starting. It’s permissible to buy multiple tickets to a single game to maximise your chances of winning. Cards cost as little as 1p. With 90-ball bingo, you’ll be looking to complete a single or double line on a 9x3 grid, while the 75-ball game takes place on a 5x5 grid.

Loads of Slots

Treasure Bingo is stocked with more than 100 slots including a number of progressive jackpot games. The video slots are an eclectic bunch, with more misses than hits, but some solid games in there nonetheless. Fluffy Favourites, Irish Luck and Sugar Train are the 3 games that Cassava Enterprises seem to promote the most at their various bingo sites, but there’s more to explore.

From Fruit Shop to Secret Garden and Jewel Journey to Jack and the Beanstalk, the 5-reel fun just keeps on coming. The progressive slots have 3 jackpots apiece, a mini, maxi and mega. In the case of Shaman’s Dream, that mega jackpot stands at £16,000.

Other Games

If slots aren’t really your thing, there are other means of scooping some cash at Treasure Bingo. The mini games, such as Jewel Journey and Noughts & Crosses, are easy to get into. With the likes of Hollywood Stars, all you have to do is click on the stars to reveal the symbols. Match 3 or more to win a prize.

Away from the mini games there’s also roulette, the classic casino game whose luck-based formula should appeal to bingo fans.

Treasure Rating

There’s a lot of fun to be had playing at Treasure Bingo, not just with bingo, but with the many other games to be found at the site too. Indeed, there’s little in the way of negatives to list. Perhaps a selection of alternative bingo games involving a different number of balls would be nice, but the 75 and 90-ball selection is still pretty good.

The welcome bonuses are particularly pleasing, and might just be the greatest reason for signing up at the pirate-themed site. For sheer escapism, the games and promotions at Treasure Bingo are just the ticket. With as little as a few pennies, it’s possible to buy into a bingo game before sitting back and watching your numbers come in. If you fancy adventure and treasure on the high seas, step aboard and sign up at Treasure Bingo.
