House Of Bingo Review

 

New players only. Wagering requirements apply. See website for full T&C

House of Bingo is one of the many sites powered by the popular Cozy Games software. In our humble opinion it is one of the better looking sites out there with an attractive red and gold colour scheme. They are one of a handful of sites on the Fun Bingo Network, which you may have heard of if you have played at Budget Bingo, Epic Bingo, Congo Bingo, Dandy Bingo or Little Miss Bingo. They may not be the biggest network out there but they are adding new partners all of the time, which in turn brings in more and more players, which is never a bad thing.

Running along the top of the site is a simple menu with links going to all of the important areas of the site. Below this is a large scrolling banner where you will find details of House of Bingo‘s welcome offers and current promotions. Just under this you will find a selection of their most popular instant games, and you can access these with a simple mouse click which saves the need to go through the lobby. Make sure you do not miss out on the five coloured tabs that scroll in from the right hand side of the screen, as these all contain really useful information.

Registering for an account should take no more then a couple of minutes and requires you to enter just your basic details plus your chosen username. House of Bingo will welcome you with open arms and an impressive no deposit bonus, which is more then enough to sample everything they have on offer. If you like what you see, you will need to enter your financial details and you can use credit cards, debit cards or any one of the more popular secure online payment methods.

Head into the lobby and you will find a selection of rooms offering 75 ball, 80 ball and 90 ball bingo and with cards starting at just 5p each there is something for players of all budgets. All of these rooms give you the vital information you need to help you decide where to play, this includes the number of players taking part, the estimated value of the jackpot and any progressive jackpots that might be up for grabs. In the lobby you will also find separate tabs for slots, casino games and scratchcards with literally dozens of different titles to choose from.

The bingo rooms use the software’s standard layout, so if you have played at any of the Cozy Games powered sites before, everything will feel very familiar. This is no bad thing though as everything is well designed and functional with large portions of the screen dedicated to displaying your cards and sharing laughs with your bingo buddies. There are not loads of options built in, but the necessary ones are all there so you can change the look of the game to suit your own tastes. You can access a small selection of mini games from within the bingo rooms too and the good news is they do not interfere with your bingo fun.

House of Bingo let themselves down when it comes to their promotions. Don’t get us wrong, if you love earning loads of free money on every deposit then you can’t go far wrong but they are lacking in every other department. With the exception of a few progressive jackpots and a poor loyalty scheme, there is really not a lot going on. The majority of their monthly specials focus on rewarding as many players will small amounts of bonus money, and whilst this is commendable, it is not very exciting.

House of Bingo is not a bad site at all as they have a wide range of games to keep you occupied and loads of free bonus money to keep on tempting you back. The introduction of their mobile bingo service is sure to bring new players through the door but we can’t help but feel they could be doing more. These days, online bingo sites need to make themselves stand out from the crowd if they want to be recognised as a major brand. Until House of Bingo can offer something above and beyond all of the other sites on the same network and using the same software, they will unfortunately be related to mid card status.

House Of Bingo Review – Bingo Games

Game Options at House Of Bingo

House of Bingo is one of the many sites that run on the Cozy Games platform. They are home to 75 ball, 80 ball and 90 ball bingo plus a large number slots, video slots, casino games and scratchcards. All of these games can be accessed from the lobby and they are guaranteed to provide you with hours of entertainment and of course the chance to win big cash prizes. Unlike a lot of other sites out there, you can actually play these games using your Bonus Bucks as well as real cash, giving you time to get used to them before wagering any of your own money.

In the bingo rooms you can access all of the different options, even if you are not a funded player. These options include a choice of three daub colours, three pattern colours and ten novelty daub shapes. You also have control over the music volume and the caller volume. In the actual chat room you can choose from a selection of acronyms and emoticons to save you having to keep on typing GL, WTG etc etc. You can change the size and colour of your font and even filter out certain words if you want to.

Promotions

House of Bingo is part of the Fun Bingo Network where they sit along a few other brands you may have heard of such as Budget Bingo and Congo Bingo. Unfortunately when it comes to promotions, this network is lagging far behind the competition. Don’t get us wrong, they have the basics such as deposit bonuses, chat games, a loyalty programme and a refer a friend scheme but they are lacking anything really special to make themselves stand out from the crowd.

They do have a very small selection of guaranteed and progressive jackpots through their bingo games but you can find higher prize pots elsewhere. Each month they add a few specials to this line-up but sadly they are nothing to get too excited about as they tend to focus on rewarding more players with smaller prizes and most of these are paid in Bonus Bucks. Their only real saving grace are the progressive jackpots they offer through their slots games as these have in the past exceeded £20,000.

Mobile Games

In addition to their online operation, House of Bingo is also available on your mobile phone. You do not need to download any apps, simply point your browser to m.houseofbingo.co.uk. If you are already a registered player you can use your existing log in details, but if you are new to the brand, you can sign up and take advantage of their no deposit bonus and impressive bonuses on your first three deposits if you like what you see.

You can do pretty much everything you normally do whilst playing via your mobile device. All of House of Bingo’s rooms are there and you will be playing against the same people for exactly the same jackpots, just as if you were sitting at home in front of the computer. In addition to the bingo though, there is also a wide range of slots and casino games and hey have all been optimised to work perfectly on the smaller screen.

As long as you have a 3G, 4G or WiFi connection, you can play these games wherever you are, regardless of whether you are standing in the kitchen cooking the dinner, or relaxing in the pub after a hard days work!

Mobile Games

From the moment you register at House of Bingo, you become part of their Loyalty Programme. You will be rewarded with Loyalty Points each time you play bingo or slots games, regardless of whether you are playing online or via your mobile phone or tablet computer. The number of points you have accumulated is shown in the top right hand corner of the screen when you log into your account. The amount you need to wager to pick up these points differs between games:

• Wager £2 on bingo games for one Loyalty Point
• Wager £6 on slots games for one Loyalty Point

Every 100 Loyalty Points you collect can be exchange for £1 cash and you can trade in up to 2,000 points per week. To trade them in though, you must have made at least one deposit during the previous seven days. When you are ready to trade them in, click on the banking tab and select ‘Trade Loyalty points for cash’.
