Deep Sea Bingo Review

Cast your anchor and prepare to dive deep. There’s a bingo bonanza unfolding at the bottom of the ocean and if you know what’s good for you you’ll get involved.

Deep Sea Bingo is one of a slew of sites to have sprung up in recent years specialising in online bingo, with a selection of slots and other casino games thrown in for good measure. With its cartoonish design, set on the seabed, naturally, Deep Sea Bingo almost looks like a marine themed slot. At the top of the homepage, a clownfish (think Nemo) bobs merrily, while deeper in the water an octopus fools around in a number 7-marked diving helmet. All around, bingo balls sink slowly to the ocean floor. Top marks to Deep Sea Bingo then for setting the mood.

If you’re a fan of bad puns and dad jokes, you’ll be in seventh heaven at Deep Sea Bingo. For some reason, the gaming industry has a serious penchant for puns, and never is this more manifest than when dealing with maritime themes. That being the case, you’ll either grimace or guffaw at the site’s exhortation to try its jackpots which ‘have to be sea-n to be believed...you’ll have a whale of a time!’

In keeping with the fishy theme, Deep Sea Bingo boasts a number of oceanic slots and a bingo game called Hook a Big Win.

Down in the Deep

Deep Sea Bingo is operated by Cassava Enterprises Limited, no strangers to the world of online gaming. A market leader and based in Gibraltar, the company has a fine reputation within the industry. The site’s UK services are handled by 888 UK Limited, a company which is licensed by the Great Britain Gambling Commission, and in the EU by Virtual Digital Services Limited. Deep Sea Bingo are committed to ensuring fair play and honest payouts and has deployed independent testers to verify this.

Getting Started

Deep Sea Bingo operates just like regular bingo – although if you’ve never played regular bingo, that’s not much help. Thankfully, Deep Sea Bingo have provided a helpful guide to mastering the game and the different types that are available to play. If you’ve any questions – about bingo or about any aspect of using the site – a help room can be accessed once you’ve signed in. Email support is also available with the site promising to respond within 4 hours.

Better still, UK players can make use of a freephone number which operates 24/7. There’s also an FAQ that covers most topics.

Payments and Withdrawals

Players have a number of options when crediting funds into their account. Deep Sea Bingo accepts credit and debit cards including Visa and MasterCard. It also accepts Neteller, PayPal and wire transfer.

When it comes to withdrawals, there is a 48-hour wait before funds are released. Thereafter, expect a wait of around 5 days for funds to appear on credit or debit cards, limited to just 2-3 days for UK MasterCard. Cheque will take up to 6 days for UK customers, Neteller 2-3 days and wire transfer up to 1 week.

Treat Yourself to a Promotion

Like many bingo sites, Deep Sea Bingo grants new players a £5 bonus just for signing up, with no deposit required. Make your first deposit and you’ll be rewarded with some serious bonus cash. The site promises new players a 500% bonus, although this is limited to a deposit of £5-10, giving you up to £50 to play with.

Regular players are given plenty of bonuses and seasonal promotions to keep things fresh and varied all the year round. Night owls will appreciate Deep Sea Bingo’s Late Show which operates at 0:45am every evening. Just 50 players are allowed to join the game, where tickets cost a mere 1p with a minimum of 96 tickets required to join. Up to £100 in prize money is dished out in this game every night.

Soar into the Weekend

When the weekend arrives, Deep Sea Bingo starts handing out some generous top prizes just for playing bingo. Over £700 is up for grabs over and above the regular prize pots. This is split between the evening games commencing at 6pm, 8pm and 10pm. During the week, things aren’t exactly quiet either: from 4pm-6pm on Mondays, happy hour treats players to double loyalty points. 20 lucky players will each receive 5,000 loyalty points and all players can enjoy a 100% bingo deposit bonus of up to £100.

Loyalty Goes Rewarded

Deep Sea Bingo’s loyalty scheme sees regular players awarded points in the form of jewels. For every £1 you deposit, you’ll be awarded 12 jewels, with the site providing 4 tiers of membership: Bingo Rookie, Pro, Master and Champ.

Naturally, the more you play, the more you earn, with Champs enjoying 15% bingo cashback, 10% games bonus cashback, 15 free spins and 10 tickets to the Big £10K Game, worth £100 in total. Your loyalty points total is reset at the start of each month, whereupon it’s a race to make it to the top tier all over again.

Underwater Bingo

There are bingo games to suit all tastes and budgets at Deep Sea Bingo. Top games include Fishy Favourites and Hook a Bingo, but there are also free games and daily jackpots to watch out for. To play the free games, players must have met the minimum weekly deposit amount. These aren’t too onerous; provided you’ve made a deposit of at least £10 in the past week you can play the Freebie £35 Jackpot game for example.

For the Quids In £1 Jackpot game the bar is set even lower; if you’ve registered or made a deposit in the past week you’re eligible to play. For the On The House £10 Jackpot game, a deposit of at least £25 in the past week is required, rising to £100 to play the Freemium £150 Jackpot game.

Subsea Slots

When you’ve had your fill of bingo, or even when you’re waiting for your ticketed games to start, check out the slots section at Deep Sea Bingo. It’s stocked with some extremely playable games – games like South Park Reel Chaos which is every bit as funny as the Comedy Central cartoon.

There’s serious cash to be won in Starburst, while Fluffy Zoo keeps things cuddly and cute. Barn Ville unfolds on the farmyard, Shaman’s Dream on the Indian reservation and Once Upon a Dime in a faraway kingdom a long time ago. Players can also spin the reels of the original South Park game and try the Candy Crush-esque Dazzle Me.

While slots account for the bulk of the non-bingo games to be found on the site, there is a handful of table games represented. This includes European Roulette and American Roulette. Pick a number, watch as the ball drops and pray it’s your lucky day. While it would be nice to see some blackjack and poker games, the site’s quality selection of slots goes some way towards atoning for their absence.

If fishy puns and bingo games put a smile on your face, Deep Sea Bingo will leave you grinning from ear to ear.
