Giggle Bingo Review

You’d think it would be possible to have some fun playing at a site named Giggle Bingo. If Giggle Bingo takes itself too seriously, there’s no hope. As it transpires, yes, there is indeed some fun to be had at Giggle Bingo but hardly the sort that will have you loling or even rofl-ing. The mirth is likely to be milder and contained solely to those instances when you have the good fortune of winning a modest to large sum playing here. The rest of the time, there isn’t a whole lot of giggling to be had.

In fairness, we’re probably over-analysing here. This is just a bingo site after all and it’s got to be called something. The site, which has been optimised for tablet and mobile, sports a large homepage slider that’s used to promote a welcome bonus that gives players the chance to claim up to $1,600. It’s unusual to see currency values displayed in dollars – usually these sites are targeted at British players and it’s £ signs across the board. A tabbed menu at the top of the page can be used to navigate the site. It’s not the easiest to master – even on desktop – but it’ll have to do. Giggle Bingo clearly hasn’t been majorly updated since it was released a few years ago. It could use some work.

About Giggle Bingo

The best way to get a feel for what kind of a place Giggle Bingo is, is by looking at their Facebook page. Let’s see how vibrant their community is. Let’s see how often they engage with their customers, dispense free tickets and generally do their bit to share the love and the laughs. Hmm, what’s this? Their Facebook page hasn’t been updated since 2015? Disappointing. But not surprising. The site is operated by Bayton Ltd who are a Maltese-registered company who are part of The Palace Group. They hold a license issued by the Malta Gaming Authority.

The About page on the site goes into great detail about the payment options that customers can enjoy, but doesn’t specify anything else really, other than to confirm that 128-bit SSL is used to encrypt transactions. If you need to get hold of customer support, you can do so via the contact submission form on the website or by calling the freephone numbers that are provided for the benefit of Australian, Canadian and other international players.

Giggle’s Banking

In addition to prominently displaying banking information on its About page, there’s a banking page too, ensuring that Giggle Bingo has covered all bases. Click on the link marked Banking and you’ll be led to...the About page. Okay. There’s some sort of curious feedback loop going on at Giggle Bingo that leads you around in circles like a hall of mirrors you can never escape from. For the record, deposit options include Visa, MasterCard, Paysafecard, Neteller, Skrill and iDebit.

In terms of withdrawals, you can presumably use the same methods as you did to deposit funds into your account, although this isn’t stated clearly. There is an FAQ but it doesn’t seem to cover the sort of questions that players might frequently ask. For example, there’s no information to be gleaned about how long withdrawal requests might take. Given that this site clearly hasn’t seen much love in a few years, you might need to contact customer support directly to get an answer to your burning questions, questions like “Is this site a going concern?”

Will the Bonuses Make You Giggle?

So, what about that $1,600 welcome bonus? What’s the deal with that? What’s the deal indeed. There’s a link on the homepage slider allowing you to click more to find out what the deal entails. Clicking on it will only lead you to a page prompting you to log in, which is no use whatsoever. There is a promotions page on the site however. Click on it and you’ll discover a content box detailing the welcome offer. Click on that and you’ll be led through to a huge page filled with wordy terms and conditions. Any chance of getting the tl;dr on this guys?

It would take half an hour to read through the Ts & Cs and to extract useful information from this. So yes, there is some kind of casino bonus available at Giggle Bingo but the precise details of it are too difficult to work out. There would appear to be 10 free credits just for signing up, but it isn’t clear how much credits are worth. Similarly, there’s a 100% deposit match with your first four deposits worth 400 credits each, whatever that’s worth. Other promotions at Giggle Bingo involve weekly deals. These, to the site’s credit, do appear to have been updated in the past week, so perhaps there is some sort of life in Giggle Bingo after all.

Popular Bingo Games

The bingo games available at Giggle Bingo revolve around the 75-ball and 90-ball games, the most popular types of bingo the world over, but in North American and European territories especially. Giggle Bingo provides an overview as to how each of these games work, but there’s not a whole lot to learn to be honest. If you’ve played bingo once – any kind of bingo – you’ll know what you have to do here. The rooms at Giggle Bingo have some interesting names and a few of them, such as Grapevine, are open 24 hours a day.

Easy Wins is another room, this one offering free bingo from 3pm to midnight daily. There’s Immortal Romance as well which is open from 6pm to 10pm GMT. Players could win “a payout to die for” here apparently. Tickets for all of the site’s bingo games can be pre-bought by clicking on the button marked Pre-Buy. Here you’ll find all of the games scheduled to commence in the next 24 hours listed. Select the time when you’d like to play and get involved.

Giggle Bingo Conclusion

Giggle Bingo is a site that’s seen better days. Not much better probably, but certainly better than you’ll find should you rock up at the site today. The fact that its social channels haven’t been updated in years gives you an idea of what stage this site is at in its life cycle. Still, if you’re not deterred by these things, or the fact that its banking page is a total mess of smallprint and legalese, there’s certainly bingo and other games that can be played here.

The welcome bonus is confusing but would appear to comprise four 100% deposit matches. Presumably it is this promotion that’s mentioned on the homepage in the context of being able to claim up to $1,600 in cash. As for the games themselves, the bingo rooms have some cool names, but at the end of the day this is still just 75 and 90-ball bingo, the same as you’ll find at thousands of other sites. Giggle Bingo then: it ain’t that funny but it’ll just about do.
