Bingo Ballroom

A couple of years ago Bingo Ballroom was an impressive UK bingo site but with so many new bingo sites launching with bigger and better promotions we feel that Bingo Ballroom has passed it's best. To this end we have left our review for information only but have redirected our readers to Foxy Zero; this site uses the same 888Holdings/Globalcom software as Bingo Ballroom but offers free bingo and is not part of a network.

Bingo Ballroom is an online bingo site that claims to be the “home of the biggest & friendliest bingo community” and our own independent research shows that this statement isn’t far off the mark. New members get a small number of free cards just for signing up, and those making their first deposit receive a cash bonus, details of which can be found on the Bingo Ballroom home page.

Because it is a download-free site, all games at Bingo Ballroom are played using your regular web browser, but the presentation is nevertheless very impressive. Tickets, which cost as little as 10p each, are displayed at almost full size just left of centre. A large built-in chat window is situated on the right, with the periphery being occupied by the numbers board, game information and progressive jackpot details.

Numbers are called with enthusiasm in the Bingo Ballroom, though players can mute the audio if they wish by clicking on the yellow speaker icon at the top right of the screen. Up to 24 tickets can be played in any single game, regardless of whether you are playing 75 ball or 90 ball bingo.

The chat facility is worth highlighting as a strong point of the Bingo Ballroom, as there is far more space to chat here than there is at some other online bingo sites we could mention. You can view up to fifteen lines of chat at once, and this allows the moderators to have some fun with text illustrations of lucky dust and other novel designs. Mix in the good natured chat of other players and Bingo Ballroom can certainly claim to be one of the friendliest sites around, though whether it is the friendliest site of all is something that players will have to decide for themselves.

There is a good range of slot machines, casino table games and instant win games to play here, and the ability to play these for fun as well as for real money means that you can try them out before you risk a penny.

Security of player information is extremely high, and a helpful customer support team is on hand 24 hours a day to provide assistance should you need it. Simply e-mail the team using the web-based e-mail system or call 0800 169 2255 from within the UK.
