Bumble Bingo is a Broadway Gaming site cut from the same cloth as Duck Duck Bingo. Barring a few honeycomb icons, it’s pretty much the same site. That’s not new, though—it’s how this industry works. The only thing that matters is whether or not the bonuses are worth your time and the games are worth playing. So, let’s see how it stacks up to the many other Dragonfish gaming sites out there.
Welcome Bonus
First-time depositors at Bumble Bingo can collect a bingo bonus of £20 and 30 free spins with a deposit of just £10 or more. It means you can deposit £10 and play with £30, with the free spins thrown in for good measure. At 25p per spin, the free spins could net you a decent return, but bear in mind that you’ll have to clear a 35x wagering requirement, and there is a maximum payout of £30.
The bingo bonus isn’t quite as steep, as the wagering requirement is fixed at a modest 4x.
You have 7 days to use the 30 free spins and they are all fixed to the Enchanted Prince slot game.
Loyalty Bonuses
The Bumble Wheel is one of the main loyalty promotions on Bumble Bingo. It is used by many of the site’s promotions. Just meet the criteria, spin the wheel, and collect one of the prizes. There are stacks of free spins to collect, as well as free bingo tickets. Many of these bingo tickets are for invite-only games, so these promotions are the only way to collect them.
Most of your Bumble Wheel spins will come via the Star Rewards program, a loyalty scheme that welcomes all players but leaves the biggest rewards for those who deposit and wager the most. You’ll earn reward points every time you wager, whether it’s a slot spin, a table game, or a bingo ticket. All of your points are totalled up throughout the week and then settled on Monday. So, don’t get too caught up worrying about how many points you have and just let them build. I recommend checking every week to see how many you have and if you can qualify for any of the rewards.
Slots and Bingo Games
You know what you’re getting when it comes to Dragonfish. It is an excellent network stacked with bingo rooms covering all variations of the game. Tickets cost as little as 1p, and as the rooms usually have at least a couple of dozen players, the pots are fairly substantial. There are jackpot games and occasional bingo events, too, and these inflate the prize pots even further.
The games run every minute, so you don’t need to wait, and if you do find yourself with an extended waiting time, you can simply shuffle over to the slot section and play one of the hundreds of games. Many of these titles are classic video slots from rosters like Microgaming/Games Global, but there are some new titles as well. It also hosts Megaways games, progressive jackpot titles, and Amazing Links.
All games are available on mobile, but at the time of writing, there is no native app for either iOS or Android, so you’ll need to use your mobile browser. The site looks okay on mobile, though. In fact, it looks better than it does on desktop, although that isn’t much of an achievement.
Deposits and Withdrawals
The banking options are always cut and dry on Broadway Gaming sites like this. It doesn’t charge you any fees, it accepts debit cards and web wallets (including PayPal), and withdrawals can be quick. I say “can be” because Bumble Bingo lists a 2-day processing period, and if you’re using a debit card, you could be left waiting for about 5 working days.
However, that processing time is just a guideline and with the instantaneous nature of PayPal and the addition of the Faster Payments banking system, you shouldn’t be kept waiting.
Verdict: Bumble Bingo Review
Although Bumble Bingo benefits from the excellent Broadway Gaming network, it doesn’t look or work as well as many of its sister sites, including the excellent Wink Slots and Wink Bingo. It does offer a sizable welcome bonus, though, and thanks to the Star Rewards program, you’ll have plenty of chances to spin the Bumble Wheel, collect free spins, pick up bingo tickets, and more.
It’s definitely worth your time, but it’s far from the best online casino I have encountered in recent months.
