888 Bingo is an online bingo parlor that also offers some side games. If you want to get to know your fellow bingo fans on the site, you can chat with them—assuming your firewall does not prohibit you from doing so.
Promotions and bonuses
New players can have twenty virtual cards for free right away once they join up. There is also a full match bonus on your first deposit. There is also a chance to win a vacation, or, if you prefer something more practical, to get the website to pay some of your utility bills for you.
Casino's Games
This site stocks both 90-ball and 75-ball bingo. You enter games by purchasing virtual tickets. There are even games of team bingo, for those who do not like to feel isolated while playing online. Of course, like many good online bingo parlors, this one also offers side games to make your gaming session more interesting. You can find, for instance, slots and video poker—very casino-esque games. As such, this site would hold a rather complicated or even prohibited status in places where gambling is illegal, but bingo is legal.
Interestingly, you can still stay in bingo games even if your connection is not stable. Supposing you suddenly become disconnected mid-game, your card is still being “processed” by the program, so it is still possible for you to win in absentia, as it were. Simply access your transactions record to see if you won.
Safety and security
This casino claims that encryption technology is used to protect your data from the prying eyes of hackers. Now for the matter of privacy. Your information will be shown to the site’s “partners,” and you will probably receive promotion materials from these partners in your email. However, this does not necessarily mean that 888 Bingo has an inferior privacy policy as compared to its competitors. It may just be more open and clear about exactly where your information is going.
Support
The Help page on this site has a great deal of the information you need. Take the time to read it before you sign up. UK customers get their own toll-free phone number to call. Like many bingo sites, this one seems to assume that its clientele is based largely in the UK. Therefore, it devotes more resources to that area, and skimps on (hypothetical) customers in other countries.
Language
The 888 Bingo site has only English as a language option. This is not all that surprising, since many bingo sites seem to be focusing on a UK-based market.
US Players
Word on the Internet is that this is one of the few bingo sites that still accepts registrants based in the USA. However, it is by no means uncommon for such sites to start out as being willing to accept US players, only to stop doing so later on. It is also possible that laws in your state will change, especially since bingo is viewed with particular ambivalence by lawmakers. In other words, you have to keep up-to-date, both in terms of local jurisdiction and in terms of the site’s policies.
