Gone Bingo Review

Gone Bingo? Yeah, Gone Bingo. Think Gone Girl. That’s presumably the sort of vibe being espoused by this site which is clearly targeted at British women. You don’t have to be Sherlock Holmes to figure that much out. Aside from the .co.uk address, there’s the Union Jack in the site’s logo and the featured image of a woman pointing in the general direction of the 400% welcome bonus that awaits. We’ll get to that in a moment.

First though, a few general observations about Gone Bingo. The site is targeted at mobile and desktop players, for its responsive design makes it suited to a range of devices. A clearly labelled menu allows you to determine at a glance what’s in store at this site – bingo, slots and casino – and what your options are. From here, it’s plain sailing. Scroll down the homepage and you’ll pass a selection of slots including Fluffy Favourites, Piggy Payout and Sugar Train. Keep going and you’ll get to the bingo schedule where you can check out the games that are due to start shortly.

About Gone Bingo

Gone Bingo is operated by Cozygames Management Limited, a company who are based on the Isle of Man. They’ve been in business for over 12 and have accrued quite a collection of bingo sites in that time. Gone Bingo is one of their newest additions, which is why it utilises the responsive design that the company are now so fond of, and understandably so. The company hold a license issued by the Isle of Man Gambling Commission and are licensed to offer their services to British-based players.

There’s a lengthy About section towards the foot of the homepage that explains what the deal is with Gone Bingo. It was clearly written on the cheap by a copywriter who would struggle to write their own name correctly by the looks of it, let alone compose several paragraphs of fluent English. You might wanna skip this section in other words, for there’s nothing here to help you and plenty to vex and irritate you. There’s a blog on the site, which has been updated precisely twice in two years. Once was some generic post that simply pasted in the About page text and the second was to announce the redevelopment of the site in 2017.

Well-Designed Banking Information

If you’re looking for banking information, you’ll find it in the FAQ, which is reasonably well designed and easy to browse, even if there are still a few questions it fails to satisfactorily resolve. Far simpler to look to the footer of the page, where you’ll ascertain, from the logos visible there, that options include Visa, MasterCard, Skrill, Neteller, Paysafecard, Delta and Boku, the latter being a mobile payment method. It will take 2-3 working days for your withdrawal request to be processed and a few days after that till funds show up in your account.

Generic Bonus Offer

The 400% welcome bonus is the generic promotion that surfaces at all new and newish Cozygames Management sites. It’s a decent bonus though, so it’s understandable why it’s been replicated at most of the company’s bingo websites. Before that, you can claim a £15 no deposit bonus simply for signing up and validating your card. After that, deposit between £5 and £500 to claim your 400% bonus. This is subject to a 4x wagering requirement on bingo or 10x on slots before you can pocket your winnings.

There’s also cashback to be claimed at Gone Bingo, another generic promotion Cozygames are fond of offering.

• Earn 5% cashback on deposits of £25 - £49
• Earn 10% cashback on deposits of £50 - £99
• Earn 15% cashback on deposits of £100 - £199
• Earn 20% cashback on deposits of £200 or above

The other offer of note available at Gone Bingo concerns purchasing packages of tickets. These will cover play for a fixed amount of games. Purchase a two-hour block, for instance, and you’ll be able to play in a specific bingo room non-stop until your block has been completed. This is a good way to enjoy cut-price bingo and pass the time without having to spend a fortune.

Range of Bingo Games

Gone Bingo is connected to the Live Bingo Network. This enables the site to offer a wide range of games and to host these 24/7. What type of bingo would you like to try – 90-ball? 80-ball? 75, 50 or 30-ball? It’s all here plus a whole lot more. Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and Down Town seem to be the most popular games on the network but there’s lots more besides. Tickets start at 1p, save for the free bingo of course, and the value of the jackpots can range from £4 in the case of free bingo to as much as £2,500. And that’s just the coverall jackpots – the progressive jackpot games can climb way higher.

Players are encouraged to pre-buy tickets for whichever bingo games take their fancy. Don’t feel obliged to purchase a single ticket either; it’s common practice for players to acquire blocks of tickets to boost their chances of success. A countdown timer reveals how long you’ve got left before the next game starts. If you miss it, don’t worry – another one will commence a couple of minutes later. While some games have a coverall jackpot – i.e a guaranteed pot – with other games the value will depend on how many players have bought in.

Other Games

The slots might be depressingly familiar to anyone who’s played extensively at other Cozygames sites, but for most players, the selection here will do just fine. Have a go at the likes of Aztecs, Toony Jack, Irish Gold and New Honey Bees and see how you get on. Games can be played for real money or for fun and should work on mobile. The casino is also well laid out at Gone Bingo, with games assigned a user rating out of five stars and the option of clicking a heart to favourite specific games. There are plenty of video poker games such as Jacks or Better and Aces & Faces but there’s also American Roulette, European Roulette Gold and Classic Blackjack.

Gone Bingo Conclusion

Gone Bingo is a well put together site, albeit one that doesn’t stray from its operator’s tried and tested formula. The bonuses are excellent, the games are reasonable and the whole design and feel of the site is positive. Sure, there’s nothing new here, but there doesn’t need to be. Bingo’s a simple game and there are certainly simple pleasures to be had at this fun and attractive site. Connect to the Live Bingo Network on tablet, mobile or desktop and get ready to compete for some seriously big jackpot prizes.
