Dinky Bingo

August 2023 Update: 

Unfortunately, Dinky Bingo, along with Pizazz Bingo have now closed. Their sister brands Bonnie Bingo & Quality Bingo are a great alternative if you are looking for something similar.

Dinky is a synonym for “small” and “compact”. It’s usually not the approach that casino operators take. If they’re not going in the literal opposite direction and compensating with the vigour usually reserved for rich-old Ferrari drivers, they’re trying to tell us that their casinos are crazy (Bingo Barmy) or cool (Swanky Bingo).

You have to respect the modesty.

Whether that respect extends to the site’s games, bonuses, and general content remains to be seen. So, let’s find out!

Welcome Bonuses

The Dinky Bingo welcome bonus comes in several parts:

• 100% Bingo Bonus
• 100 slot spins

To qualify, you must be a new player depositing at least £20. After collecting your spins, and bonus, you can start clearing the wagering requirements (4x for bingo bonuses; 99x for free spins) and then withdraw the remainder.

Just bear in mind that the games bonus winnings have a cap of £100 + original bonus amount.

Loyalty Bonuses

Dinky Bingo is not exactly generous when it comes to loyalty promotions. They aren’t as abundant here as they are on sites like Foxy Bingo. There are still a few bonuses to collect, including reload offers, tournaments, giveaways, and events, but it’s an area that needs a little work.

Check the promotions page to see what’s available and remember to peruse the terms and conditions before you collect anything.

Casino Games

Grand Battery Holdings has an excellent selection of bingo games and you can see the best of these at Dinky Bingo. They include games like 90’s Extreme, a 90s-themed game with all the headache-inducing “style” of the decade that gave us denim skirts and frosted tips.

Sunny 90s is another game based on the decade that style forgot, looking like something out of Saved by the Bell. Other games include Late Night Show, the basketball-themed Bounce’t, and the comic-styled Wow!

As far as stakes, prize pools, and jackpots go, pretty much all options are covered. You can play games for as little as 1p per ticket and there are also free versions if you’d prefer. Alternatively, many of the site’s games cost £0.50 per ticket, and then you have The Big £10,000, where tickets cost £10 each and winners can scoop thousands of pounds.

All bingo games are mobile-friendly and they work directly through your web and mobile browser, so you don’t need to download anything.

If you tire of the bingo games, check out the site’s many slot machines. The bulk of them are provided by Microgaming and you can play more than 500 slots in total.

There are jackpot games, wild features, and features like Rolling Reels.

Deposits and Withdrawals

Dinky Bingo accepts payments using PayPal, Visa, and MasterCard. It doesn’t charge a fee for any of these. On the withdrawal side of things, you can cash out as little as £5 and can also use debit cards and PayPal for this purpose.

This is one of the areas where Dinky Bingo slips up. If you’re using a debit card, it can take up to 10 days for you to get your funds. If you’re using PayPal, it may take 4 to 5 days.

That’s a very long time to wait for a PayPal withdrawal when you consider that sites like BetVictor and Pokerstars process PayPal withdrawals instantly.

I have complained about withdrawal speeds in the past, so I won’t repeat myself here. But needless to say, players shouldn’t need to wait that long in this day and age. The sites might argue that it’s necessary for them to run checks, but if that were the case they would all be doing it.

Verdict: Dinky Bingo Review

Dinky Bingo is not quite as “dinky” as its name would suggest, but it’s easy to see why they didn’t opt for a synonym of “massive”. It has a wide selection of bingo games, a good welcome bonus, and hundreds of slot machines, but it’s a little on the small side in places. It could use some extra bonuses, but it’s more than enough to keep you busy.

One of the biggest issues here is the slow withdrawals. It shouldn’t take 4 to 5 days for an online gambling site to process PayPal withdrawals in this day and age. All they have to do is click a button, confirm the payment, and let PayPal do the rest. How that can take such a long time is beyond me.

Still, it’s a good site and one I would recommend. You can’t go wrong with Grand Battery bingo sites and casinos, even if they are dinkier than the rest.
