INTRODUCTION
Many may already know Rosy Bingo by its previous name, Rehab Bingo, but Rosy Bingo officially got its fresh start in March of 2018. Though at first it may seem that only the name has changed, as Rosy Bingo has the same colours of blues, whites, and reds as its predecessor, there’s actually quite a bit that’s new, including offers and promotions.
The software that the site operates on is still Microgaming, which means that there are a great number of bingo games at hand, but the action can be a bit limited at times. One thing that we like about Rosy Bingo is the fact that it has a really friendly vibe, which is probably this site’s calling card. Want to learn more about what Rosy Bingo is bringing to the table? Then we suggest you keep reading!

SOFTWARE/GRAPHICS
Clichés aren’t always a bad thing – they are overused in the world of online bingo for a reason, and Rosy Bingo plays on that very well. One thing that you’ll find at Rosy Bingo is a lot of colour, splashes of it no matter where you look, and it certainly works to grab and keep your attention. It’s not original, that’s for sure, but the cartoon skyline used is certainly welcoming.
When it comes to usability, Rosy Bingo is relatively basic – it’s a Microgaming-backed bingo site after all – but that’s exactly what it needs to be. You, as the player, can move from page to page using a toolbar, although the UI is not always the most effective when it comes to the page layouts. When it comes to design and functionality, Rosy Bingo is okay, even if it isn’t particularly original.
BONUSES & PROMOTIONS
What you get
The welcome offer at Rosy Bingo is actually pretty generous, allowing you to grab a deal that’ll give your bankroll an immediate boost. Registering with Rosy Bingo and depositing a minimum of £10 will get you £40, as well as 70 bonus spins. Small it might be, yet not lacking in punch, we think that this deal gives new players the perfect springboard.
The bingo promotions that Rosy Bingo offer are noticeable, but not groundbreaking. Daily promotions change on the regular, due to calendar changes, and promotions are ongoing, including a bingo game with progressive jackpot that only has 45 balls. In addition, the Big One only costs 25p for a ticket and takes place in the Broadway Room, where players can go to win big in this promotion and others. Another promotion players will want to take advantage of is the £1,000 Jackpot Got2Go promotion, which happens weekly, and players have the opportunity to win a share of – yes, you guessed it – £1,000.
One more thing that Rosy Bingo offers is the rewards club, Rosy Rewards, which exists to help you play for longer amounts of time and allow you to max out your odds of winning games. The tiered reward system includes a variety of different promotions, including Free Spins Friday, Midweek Slot Tournament, Mystery Bingo, Birthday Bonus, Loyalty Points, and more.
What you need to know
At Rosy Bingo, the wagering requirements differ from game to game. That being said, there is a standard of 40x in effect, and some games, such as slots and casino games, will contribute more to the wagering requirement than others. You should always double check this information instead of taking our word for it, as these are subject to change at any time.
GAMES
Microgaming has an interesting, exciting, and entertaining bingo platform that keeps players from getting bored through prizes, affordability, and jackpots – even if it does feel a bit lightweight in places. The most featured game is the 90-ball bingo, but there are also a small number of 75 ball games. In addition, players will find a 90-ball speed bingo game room and a spinner room. Cost wise, Rosy Bingo probably isn’t going to appease high-rollers, but for the casual player the ticket prices here will be as expected.
Rosy Bingo is one of the best places to find new Microgaming releases – if that wasn’t obvious – bingo, casino games, or otherwise. Microgaming games are known to be fun to play with plenty of features to explore, and they’re known for titles such as Phantom of the Opera, Lucky Leprechaun, Cool Buck, Avalon, Dolphin Quest, and Jungle Jim – just to name a couple. Though there aren’t a lot of casino games available, players will still find poker, blackjack, and roulette in a few different forms at Rosy Bingo.
MOBILE
The mobile version of the site is easy to understand and well-laid out, even though there’s no app to access it (instead, it’s available in your mobile device browser). After signing in, players will find the navigation bar at the top of the screen, where they can access different games. These game types include bingo, as well as slots, jackpot games, and casino games. In addition, you can search for a specific game using the navigation bar.
The desktop version and the mobile version are virtually identical, because all of the Microgaming games are optimized for mobile play as well as desktop play. Players will find the games under the menu at the top left of the screen, as well as finding banking, promotions, and support in that same menu. Making a deposit, withdrawing, setting a limit – all of that is as simple as clicking a button. We would have loved to have seen Rosy Bingo have its own app – for either Android or iOS.
DEPOSIT/WITHDRAWAL
If you want to deposit and withdraw with PayPal you’re going to need to find another bingo site, as Rosy Bingo doesn’t offer it. You’re limited to Visa, MasterCard, Skrill, Neteller, and Paysafe card, so you aren’t exactly blessed with choice. The minimum withdrawal is £20 (£10 minimum deposit) or more for free, any less than that will be subject to a £2 fee. The processing time can take up to 7 full business days, which – again – isn’t particularly brilliant. The site may request a photo identification, proof of your address, and a copy of your card before you can withdraw.
SECURITY & TRUST
At Rosy Bingo, safety and security is paramount to having a good time – players need their information protected when they gamble online, no matter where they choose to play. Rosy Bingo has dual licensing (under the Broadway Gaming name) by the UKGC (United Kingdom Gambling Commission) and the MAG (Malta Gaming Authority). This means that it meets the conditions of both for operation.
Third party certification at Rosy Bingo is a little bit lacking, as all we noticed is that it has received eCOGRA approval, but information about safety and security at Rosy Bingo is actually pretty hard to find. This is not a good thin and is a mark on an otherwise reasonable bingo site.
SOCIAL
Keeping this short and sweet, while the community and chat at Rosy Bingo appears lively, the lack of social media channels is hugely disappointing. Again, there isn’t much else to say here really.
CUSTOMER SERVICE
Rosy Bingo offers customer support 24/7 in an effort to help you with any problems that you may have. There are a few channels you can use to contact them, including live chat, phone, and email (support@rosybingo.com). Response times are okay, so players can have few complaints here.
