INTRODUCTION

Fun with a cause is what you will find at Give Back Bingo. Launched in December 2016, this bingo site offers a variety of bingo and slot games. What makes this bingo site different is the simple fact that it donates to charitable causes every month. At Give Back Bingo, they put the fun in Fundraising. It’s about fun and helping at the same time.

Pros & Cons

• Charitable ethos
• Solid selection of bingo games

• Positive playthrough conditions
• Attractive welcome bonuses

• Design could confuse some players
• Could be more bingo variants

SOFTWARE/GRAPHICS

Operated by Daub Alderney Limited, Give Back Bingo has links to industry stalwarts such as Kitty Bingo and Lucky Pants Bingo. For those in the know, these sites have long stood as independent offerings away from the larger bingo networks and the same is true for Give Back. In practice, this means players can get instant access to bespoke software crafted by an in-house design team. On top of this, you’ll find some of the best slots in the business from the likes of NetEnt, Play’n Go and Eyecon.

Now, all of this doesn’t mean the site has a truly unique look. If you check out the aforementioned Kitty Bingo, you’ll notice a quirky, warm vibe that’s also present at Give Back Bingo. In essence, what the developers have done is to take the soft colours and welcoming style Daub’s sites are known for and brought their own ideas to the mix. This means lots of bright banners and boxouts. What’s more, you’ll find a dual layout inside the bingo lobby. In general, today’s online bingo sites use one of two ways to arrange their games: lists or boxouts. At Give Back Bingo, you’ll find both. Now, depending on your perspective, this could either be a great way to satisfy all players or it could be too much information. In our opinion, it’s more of the former.

At the top of the page you’ve got a selection of tabs that allow you to get an overview of the upcoming games. For us, this list is compact enough that it doesn’t bombard you with information. Then, once you scroll down, you’ll find game boxes arrange into their relevant categories. In some respects, we can see why this may look a little disjointed and messy. However, by giving you the best of both worlds the designers have not only given the page more depth and colour, but made it easier for you to search in a way that suits you.

BONUSES & PROMOTIONS

Because Give Back Bingo’s welcome rewards are more akin to casino bonuses, the wagering requirements are typically higher than you’ll see at other bingo sites. For example, if you skipped over to 888ladies using our secure link, you’d find a playthrough of 2X. However, this is because you only receive £20 and a few extras to play bingo. When you join Give Back Bingo, each offer you collect will be backed by a 25X playthrough condition. However, the amount you’ll receive is a lot more than a standard bingo bonus. The combination of free spins and deposit multipliers is something online casinos do.

Moreover, it’s easier to hit the 25X playthrough because you can wager money on casino games (slots, blackjack, scratchcards and more) as well as bingo. So, even though 25X sounds high, it’s actually easier to hit than you think. What’s more, if you go and look back at 888ladies, there is a secondary “casino-style” bonus you can claim. When you delve into the nuances of that offer, you’ll see that the playthrough is 50X. So, when you compare Give Back Bingo’s bonuses to some of the major brands, it stacks up extremely well.

GAMES

Of course, the highlight of the site is B-I-N-G-O. Give Back Bingo consists of a plethora of bingo rooms which offer 90-ball, 75-ball and 5-line bingo. Want to enjoy the best moments with the caller? You might want to try the main bingo rooms. For the best times, you can pop into Lucky Ducky for 75 Ball Bingo, Fundraiser Frenzy for 90 Ball Bingo and Fast Lane for 5-line bingo. Now, if you want some time away from the caller, you can hop onto the slots page to enjoy great slot games. Or you can even have a lovely time on the table & card or scratch & arcade games.

MOBILE

Give Back Bingo isn’t mobile native but it is mobile optimised. What this means is that you won’t be able to download a native app and play. However, the desktop interface has been optimised to work at all screen sizes which, in turn, means you can play on any mobile. When you visit Give Back Bingo mobile via you iOS, Android or Window Phone device, everything is virtually identical. Although the page elements are smaller, the layout matches the desktop interface with one slight adjustment: the bingo lists are arranged horizontally instead of vertically. On top of this, you’ll be able to swipe left and right between pages and hide the main menu with a touch. Other than these tweaks, you can enjoy the same experience on your mobile as you can on your desktop.

DEPOSIT/WITHDRAWAL:

The safest payment methods are available at Give Back Bingo. Whether you prefer PayPal, Maestro, Mastercard, Visa, Neteller or Paysafecard, all the major processors on hand and allow you to deposit as little as £5. Want to take out your winnings? You can use the same method you used to deposit. and your funds will hit your bank account within 2-5 banking days.

SECURITY & TRUST

Since going live in 2016, Give Back Bingo has satisfied the licensing conditions of two major regulators: the UK Gambling Commission and the Alderney Gambling Control Commission. On top of these credentials, the site proudly lists its affiliation with GamCare (a problem gambling organisation) and eCOGRA (a software testing agency). Beyond these legal credentials, Give Back Bingo naturally stands out as trustworthy thanks to its status as a charitable entity. By giving a cut of its profits to good causes, the site clearly has an ethical underbelly. Finally, just in case all that wasn’t enough, Which Bingo’s team has given the site a 4.6/5-star rating. Although the review site’s community has only rated the site as 2/8/5, this is only from six reviews.

SOCIAL

The main bingo rooms are hosted by friendly chat moderators who will entertain you and, in some instances, give away prizes as you play. Looking out beyond the site, Given Back Bingo also has a presence on Facebook. When you visit @givebackbingo on the social media platform, you’ll not only get daily updates, but tips about special games and bonuses that are only available to Facebook fans.
