Katie’s Bingo Review

On first glance, Katie’s Bingo looks like a tween website, the sort specialising in excessive emojis and Which Twilight Character Are You personality quizzes. While there are in fact emojis to be found – even the title of the site as it appears in your browser tab features love hearts – Katie’s Bingo is not marketed at tweens. That’s because you have to be over 18 to gamble, and operators Cassava Enterprises are a reputable and law-abiding company.

Despite the ‘Dear Diary’ and overly cute motifs, Katie’s Bingo is not for tweens – it’s for young adults and upwards, women mostly who can relate to the site’s simple but endearing aesthetic. Who exactly is Katie? She would appear to be a young white woman who relishes all the things that pop culture would have white women love: Starbucks red cups, Uggs, pumpkin spiced lattes, white iPhones and bingo. If you can relate to Katie, you’ll feel right at home playing at her cuter-than-cute bingo site.

About Katie’s Bingo

Cassava Enterprises Limited are masters of mass-produced bingo sites that nevertheless succeed in conveying a personal touch. It doesn’t matter that the company behind Katie’s Bingo are a corporation with dozens upon dozens of real money casino sites to their name; if you can relate to the vibe being conveyed by Katie’s Bingo, you’ll feel completely content and won’t care a jot for what’s going on in the background.

For the record, Cassava Enterprises are registered in Gibraltar and the site holds a licence issued in the UK by related company 888 UK Ltd. In the EU, it’s Virtual Digital Services Ltd who oversee operations. In keeping with the young white woman theme, there’s a torn out diary page on the homepage containing Katie’s personal promise: to offering a gaming environment that is safe, fair and legal.

The site is linked up to Trustpilot, and includes glowing testimonials from actual players who unsurprisingly have good things to say about Katie’s Bingo.

Cashing out

To experience the bingo, slots and other games the site has to offer, you’ll need to create an account and deposit funds into it. Katie’s Bingo makes this easy, with a whole host of payment options geared around the UK market. Credit and debit card are the primary options including MasterCard, Visa and Maestro. There’s also PayPal, Entropay, Paysafecard and Neteller.

The same options are available when withdrawing funds from Katie’s Bingo, but you can also use wire transfer or cheque. Withdrawals take 48 hours to be honoured, followed by a minimum of 2-3 days for funds to show up in your account. Wire transfer can take up to a week. The minimum deposit amount, by the way, is £10.

Katie’s Got Some Bonuses

To encourage you to sign up and join in with the fun, the wholesome-looking Katie has a trio of introductory offers she’d love to extend to you. It all starts when you make your first deposit, which will receive a bonus match of 400%. Deposit the maximum allowed £20 and you’ll be able to play with £80. You’ll also be granted 10 free spins on the Fluffy Too slot and, if you deposit more than £50 in a month, there’s the prospect of a personalised VIP mug to sip your tea from while you play at the site.

Regular players have plenty of reasons to be joyful too. There are second and third deposit bonuses of 100% and 200% to be claimed and another £2 in bonus cash for liking Katie’s Bingo on Facebook. Other suitably cutesy promotions have such names as Katie’s Cocktail Party and Katie’s Fluffy 50. The site is awash with anthropomorphic food and other normally inanimate objects, including a bacon and egg that serve as ‘best buds’ to promote the friend referral scheme. Top marks to the site’s operators for enthusiastically miming the fluffy and cute theme for all it’s worth.

Be a VIP

The animated foods are rolled out in force to plug the VIP scheme that’s in operation, including a sweetie, a cookie, an ice cream and a winking doughnut. Every month when you deposit a minimum of £10 you’ll be eligible to earn loyalty points on every game you play. You’ll start off at Rookie before rising to Pro, Master and finally Champion.

At the top tier, there’s a 15% monthly bingo bonus bundle, 10% slots bundle, 15 free spins and other bonuses. There are also 4 free bingo rooms which players can enter depending on their VIP level. Quids In has a jackpot of just £1 but Freemium, which is open to Champion members, has a £150 jackpot.

Bingo Choice

If you’re here for the bingo – plus the preponderance of adorable fluffy animals and sugary treats of course – the bingo lobby is the obvious place to start. Katie’s Bingo offers three variants of the lottery-style game: 90-ball, 75-ball and High 5 Bingo. The former is by far the most popular option, with players competing to cover a 1 or 2-line pattern first. Full House goes to whoever can complete 3 lines on the ticket.

The North American version of the game, 75-ball bingo, sees players compete to complete a pre-determined pattern on their card, but the basic concept mirrors that of the 90-ball game. Finally, in High 5 Bingo, lines can be completed vertically, horizontally or diagonally. Some of the games to be experienced at the site have coverall jackpots, which ensures that there’s a minimum sum guaranteed to be won. Different symbols – heart, star, diamond – correspond to the value of the jackpot, with the top tier coming in at a cool £1,500.

Slots, Too!

The slots at Katie’s Bingo are very good. So much so that it’s a shame they’re tucked away behind other menu options as if Katie were ashamed to show them off. Games like Wizard of Oz, Starburst, Gonzo’s Quest and Jack and the Beanstalk are regarded as some of the best on the market.

There are branded slots too such as the X-Factor slot and Roland Rat. While the selection of games isn’t as extensive as that to be found at an outright casino, the quality of the titles is commendable and reason enough to sign up and give Katie’s Bingo a twirl.

Katie Rating

Katie’s Bingo is a site that you’ll either love or hate from the get-go. It’s the sort of place it’s easy to get the measure of in an instant, and it would be fair to say that women and women only are its key demographic. Naturally players of both sexes are welcome to sign up, but you’re far more likely to take the plunge if you’re a female bingo player who’s based in Britain.

The promotions are varied, the VIP scheme is generous and the whole site is a big ball of fluffy fun. The slots are very good too, providing a welcome break from the bingo or a handy means of killing time while you wait for a bingo game to start. If you like the cut of Katie’s jib, you’ll love every moment at Katie’s Bingo as you chat and play.
