Fabulous Bingo Casino Review

Established in 2011, Fabulous Bingo is a bingo site that certainly looks impressive thanks to its responsive design and featured sliders full of enticing bingo games, slots and mini games. Unusually, it’s operated by a company whose name you don't typically associate with bingo, News Group Newspapers Ltd. Based on Fabulous Bingo however they appear to know what you're doing for this site is functional, welcoming and full of all the things you’d expect a bingo site to have.

There is a generous 400% casino bonus, there are bingo games of all kinds to be enjoyed, there are some major prizes to be pocketed and there are some pretty entertaining video slots. The site, with its pink and red colour scheme, has clearly been marketed at British female bingo players who account for the bulk of the nation’s bingo players. With games designed to work on tablet and mobile, Fabulous Bingo caters to the needs of a modern bingo playing audience. Sign up to enjoy online bingo on the go, wherever you might happen to be within the UK.

About Fabulous Bingo

Three doesn't appear to be an About page for Fabulous Bingo so there’s not a whole lot that can be gleaned about the site other than the fact that it is licensed and regulated by the Alderney Gambling Control Commission as well as the Gambling Commission of Great Britain. The site is targeted at UK and Republic of Ireland residents. Fabulous Bingo bills itself as the nation’s favourite bingo site, which is almost certainly a flat-out lie. After all, the nation can only have one favourite bingo site and it is unlikely to be a new arrival on the scene from an unknown operator that was launched only in the last 12 months.

In fairness, gaming sites are prone to making overblown claims about just how awesome they are, and in that respect there is nothing untowards to be read from that statement by Fabulous Bingo. If you need to get hold of customer service while using this site, a freephone number is provided along with email and live chat. Fabulous Bingo is committed to promoting responsible gambling and encourages players to set self-exclusion limits or monetary limits if they believe their behaviour is in danger of getting out of control.

Doing Your Banking

When it comes to making a deposit, your options are Visa, MasterCard, Maestro, Visa Electron, Skrill, Moneybookers and Paysafecard. Then, when it comes to withdrawals, you can use debit card, credit card, cheque or wire transfer. The minimum withdrawal amount is £10 and the minimum deposit amount would also appear to be £10, although Fabulous Bingo doesn't state that explicitly. 

It is possible that you may be asked to submit identification documents prior to your first withdrawal request being granted. There isn't a complete FAQ available at the site by the way; simply some information in the Help section. As a consequence, there doesn't appear to be information regarding how long withdrawal requests take to be processed.

First Deposit Promotion is Waiting

Once you've made your first deposit at Fabulous Bingo, there is a 400% welcome bonus waiting for you. Deposit £10 and you'll be given £50 to play with. Any bonus cash received is subject to a 3x wagering requirement for bingo and a 30x wagering requirement for slots. To be able to withdraw any bonus cash, you must have first deposited a minimum of £10 and met the playthrough requirement.

There is also bonus cash to be claimed on your second and third deposits. With your second there is a 50% match worth up to £30 and with your third there is another 50% match that’s worth up to £50. The remaining promotions to be found at Fabulous Bingo all involve bingo games with specific prizes such as buy one get one free and the Newbie Room where players can enjoy four hours of free bingo during their first week on the site. 

Log in for Bingo

Click on the bingo tab at Fabulous Bingo and you'll be greeted by a pop-up window prompting you to login. It appears that you can't actually view the bingo lobby without being signed in to the site. Thankfully you can still gain an overview of some of the games that are available as a selection of these are featured on the homepage and on the promotions page. For example, there’s buy one get one free bingo which operates at certain times during the week. There is also session bingo in which players can book an entire session in the Milan room, with sessions running for one hour.

Then there is Bargain Bingo in which tickets cost as little as one pence and games run from 8am until 1am. This is a 90-ball game. There are probably other types of bingo offered at the site too, although it isn't exactly clear what these are. There is certainly big money to won at the site by playing a game named Daily Bingo Linx which is hosted in such rooms as New York, London, Paris and Sparkle Suite. It would appear that there is as much as £10,000 to be won from these games. Other areas of the site, such as those promoting Fab Points, presumably some kind of loyalty scheme, again cannot be accessed without being logged in.

Easy to Navigate the Slots

Fabulous Bingo has a good selection of slots and other games, and what's more they’ve been sensibly laid out making them easy to browse. Games such as Fluffy Favourites and Dynamite Digger provide simple thrills and simple ways to boost your money. Because the site is owned by News Group Newspapers who are responsible for The Sun among other tabloids you’ll find games here that are linked to such newspapers. There is a game called Winning Headlines for example that involves The Sun and another game named Mystic Meg.

In addition to regular slots, there are jackpot slots with progressive pots such as Clover Rollover and The Glass Slipper. Fabulous Bingo also has a small selection of table games in the form of Blackjack, Mini Roulette and Three Card Brag. Completing proceedings is a range of scratch cards with names such as Ladies Night, Beat The Bank, Bingo Scratch and Big Bounty.

Fabulous by Name…

Fabulous Bingo is a great looking site and one that has a lot of potential. As it stands, this is undoubtedly one of the better bingo sites out there on the web despite the fact that there are a few frustrating things about it. It is annoying for example that certain areas of the site cannot be viewed without being logged in, which kind of negates the point of having a top menu in the first place. It would also be nice if there were a proper FAQ with more comprehensive answers concerning such things as deposits and withdrawals.

That being said, the site is a pleasure to browse, works well on mobile and had a fine selection of slots and other games that provide a refreshing change from the bingo. Aside from the fact that Fabulous Bingo isn't more forthcoming about the types of bingo that can be played at the site, there is very little wrong with this site. It looks the business and would probably be a great site to play at. Give it a go and see if the reality lives up to the promise.
