There are 14 bingo rooms, 6 rooms for 75 ball and 8 for 90 Ball bingo. They all have quirky names like Newbies and Love me ten-der and ticket prices start at a very reasonable 5p. There are also 6 pre-purchase games every day of the week. There are various other games on this site including 9 instant win games like Noughts and Crosses and How the West was Won, 7 slots, Scratchcards, Bingo and Keno and 3 tables games including Roulette.

In each room it's clearly stated how many players there are, ticket prices and the current game's prize value as well as the Progressive Jackpot Totals. The Bingo lingo is quite modern and the pace was just right so no waiting around. Whilst playing Bingo you can also play various mini games and there's a friendly but competitive feel to the chat room featured in the Bingo rooms. All the other Bingo players were chatty and it's overall a welcoming experience.

The help page is really good with links to help you get started, banking, and security and if you don't find what you're looking for you can use the contact us link and speak to a Customer Support Agent in the live chat room within the game, or fill out a web form and you will receive a response within 24 hours.

Also on Tuesdays it's Instant Win Cashback day where even if you don't win you can 15% of your losses back.

Overall this is a basic but very user friendly online bingo site. Everything is laid out in a clear and accessible way and I had no problem finding anything. I found the information to be comprehensive and told me everything I needed to know. There are a variety of prizes to be won and a great sense on community within the rooms so a good all rounder.
