Want to Play Bingo and Raise Money for Charity at the Same Time? Read our Charity Bingo Review

The idea behind Charity Bingo is a very noble one. On the homepage it says for every £20 deposited £1 will be donated to charity. Bingo has long been associated with charity, and many local charities have used bingo to raise all important funds, mostly in land-based halls and clubs. We were very excited when we started writing this Charity Bingo review. However, we became a little disappointed when we delved a little deeper and were looking around the site. Because the list of charities money has been donated to is very much out of date. It states that the Charity Bingo Heroes Pot currently holds £320, but the last name in the list of charities that have been helped is dated August 2015. Which kind of made us wonder what has been happening to the money raised since then? Nevertheless, in spite of our small reservations, here’s what else we found out about Charity Bingo.

Charity Bingo and regulation

The Charity Bigo website is operated by Jumpman Gaming Limited, which is a company licensed and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission. Charity Bingo is also part of the 15Network of online bingo sites.

Jump right in and you’ll get £20 and a free spin of the wheel when you make your first deposit

New players at Charity Bingo are given a £20 first deposit bonus and a free spin of the wheel when a minimum of £10 is added to a new account. Simply register and make your first deposit and you’re in with a chance to win up to £2,500 extra, on top of the bonus. You’re also given access to the Newbies Free Bingo Room which is open everyday from 8pm until 11pm. The bonus is credited as a Bingo Bonus and cannot be withdrawn and before it can be converted to real funds a wagering requirement of four time the total bonus is applicable. A number of promotions are also currently running and you can take advantage of these if you want to become a regular player. The bonuses and promotions include:

• Monday Madness – One line and full house jackpots switch places on Mondays between 4pm and 7pm
• Refer a Friend – Receive 5,000 points for every friend you refer when they make a deposit and wager a minimum of £5
• Jackpot Games – These are the games to play if you want to win big money and every week there are four games to play as well as a monthly jackpot game that takes place on the last day of the month

Admittedly, there are far fewer promotions and bonuses than many other online bingo sites we get to visit. And understandably this may put a number of you off.

At Charity Bingo you can play bingo and more

At Charity Bingo not only is there bingo available to play, but you also have the option to play something different if you want. If you’re looking for variety then Charity Bingo maybe for you. The bingo games that await you at Charity Bingo are 90 ball and 75 ball bingo and these can be played in a number of different rooms. We would have appreciated a little more variety in bingo games, but you can mix up that action a little by playing some of the other games available. For example, you can play slots, scratchcards and even casino games. You will, however, have to register and open an account before you can see the various options. You can even play bingo at Charity Bingo when on the move because the website is mobile-friendly. There’s no Charity Bingo mobile app to download. Simpy type www.charitybingo.com into your mobile browser and you’re away.

Banking options at Charity Bingo

A variety of payment methods are supported at Charity Bingo including Visa Debit, Visa Electron, MasterCard, Solo and Maestro. The minimum deposit you can make is £5, while the minimum withdrawal is £30. However, we should point out that second and subsequent deposit amounts will have to be £10 or more to be eligible for deposit bonus offers. A number of terms and conditions apply to payments. For example, it is only possible to make a maximum of 2 withdrawal requests within a 24 hour rolling period and at least £100 must have been wagered in real funds before a withdrawal can be processed. Another requirement is for identification to be provided and verified before a withdrawal request is made. Make sure you read the requirements or you’ll be prevented from taking any of your money out.

Customer support at Charity Bingo is available during office hours only

Customer support is only available between the hours of 9.30am and 6pm. Which you may find a little inconvenient if you play at Charity Bingo outside of these hours. It happens to be the main downside of most 15Network bingo sites and we hope improvements will be made in time. There is information available in the website, but it’s nowhere near enough to cover all problems and issues you may have. We like the idea of Charity Bingo, as donating a portion of the sites profit to charity is a very noble idea. The only thing we were a little dubious about was the fact that no charities had received any funds for more than a year. Or at least that is what the website is implying. The choice of bingo games is a little disappointing, but we appreciate that there are people who only ever want to play 90 ball or 75 ball bingo. And to be able to do this while donating money to charity is a good thing.
