Bingo Giving Review

Bingo Giving is a bingo website with a difference, the difference being that a certain amount of proceeds on the site are given to charity. This benevolent gesture gives the site a certain appeal and helps to differentiate it from most other bingo sites. Although Bingo Giving is not unique in what it does, it is certainly in the minority. Players get to have an involvement in dictating the sort of charities that funds go to with recipients including the RSPCA.

Bingo Giving isn't just about benefiting charitable causes however – it is also about benefiting players. With some serious bonus funds to be claimed and all manner of fun to be had in countless numerous bingo rooms, there's a lot to enjoy at Bingo Giving. The site’s mascot is Charlie the charity chimp who is depicted grinning while he dribbles a set of bingo balls. He'll be your guide to show you the best elements of the site and all the fun that can be had.

About Bingo Giving

Bingo Giving is operated by Cassava Enterprises Ltd. They are registered in Gibraltar and have a gaming license issued by the Gibraltar Gambling Commissioner. Within the UK, 888 UK Limited hold the license issued by the Great Britain Gambling Commission. This is because the 888 group are the owners of Cassava Enterprises. There's also Virtual Digital Services Ltd who are licensed to offer the site’s services to players within the EU. Bingo giving specialises in 90 and 75-ball bingo but it also hosts lots of other casino games.

One thing that Bingo Giving have been very keen to promote is a sense of community. The chat moderators at the site in particular work hard to help foster this community spirit, something that is augmented by the Facebook page at Bingo Giving, also a busy place where players can interact. In terms of customer service, if you need to get hold of a member of the Bingo Giving team you can do so by calling a freephone UK number between 9am and 1am or by using the contact form provided on the website.

Other methods will take a few days longer to be completed. Bingo Giving doesn't specify whether there is a minimum deposit or withdrawal amount.

Those Bonuses

One of the most enticing promotions to be found at Bingo Giving is the one granted courtesy of the spin the wheel option. This was an option first pioneered at sites operated by Jumpman Gaming before being copied by Cassava Enterprises for the purposes of Bingo Giving. You will be entitled to spin the wheel every time you make a deposit to win anywhere between £10 and £2,500 in bonus cash. When you make your first deposit at Bingo Giving, deposit £10 and you'll receive a £40 bonus as well as the option of spinning the wheel. This 400% bonus offer is subject to a 50 times wagering requirement.

Another way to make a little extra at Bingo Giving is by joining the Bingo Giving Diamond Club. This has 4 levels to it with players starting at Ruby before ascending to Sapphire, Emerald and finally Diamond. As you rise up through the ranks of the loyalty scheme you will earn additional cashback of up to 15%, increase your deposit limit and gain access to exclusive VIP games. There are also birthday bonuses, luxury VIP gifts and the services of a personal VIP manager all as part of the package.

Charitable Bingo

Among the various reasons why Bingo Giving might appeal is the fact that with every single bingo jackpot, a portion of the proceeds is given to charity. Or as Bingo Giving explain using their unique street smarts, “We give out of our own pocket lol”. All scepticism aside, it is good to see something being done for charity, even if Bingo Giving doesn't appear to specify the actual rate at which it gives money to these causes.

Among the bingo games that are promoted on the site is The Daily Freebie, a game that has up to £500 to be won in it and which is open to all players who have made a deposit of at least £10 that day. There is also a bingo-related promotion called Jumping Jack that operates over 50 times a day on the site with guaranteed jackpots with a cumulative value of over £10,000. 90 and 75-ball bingo are the two types of games hosted here and tickets for these cost anywhere between 1p and £1 depending on the value of the jackpot at stake.

Slots and More

All of the games available at Bingo Giving have been optimised for mobile as well as tablet and desktop. There is a range of slots that can be played including the usual Cassava Enterprises favorites: Fluffy Favourites, X Factor, Cleopatra and Bejeweled. Other games touted by Charlie the chimp as being worth your time included Sounds of Fortune. At the casino you will also find blackjack, roulette and video poker. This isn't a full casino, just a small one offering a cross-section of classic games. Finally, Bingo Giving has a selection of instant games such as Hollywood Stars, X Factor scratch game, Irish Luck and Quickfire Lotto. These games can be completed quickly, making them ideal for squeezing in between indulging in your main passion of bingo.

Doing Your Bit

Bingo Giving is a pretty good site even if it is starting to look a little dated in places despite only being a few years old. The text areas on the site are too small for desktop and don't display especially well on mobile. In fairness, once you've read them once you are unlikely to need to read them again. The concept of the site, while not unique, is certainly less common among British bingo sites and it is encouraging to see a portion of proceeds given to charity.

It would be nice to learn exactly how much Bingo Giving does give to charity. That aside, there is little that is wrong with this site other than the fact that it serves up the same generic slots and instant games as you find at all other Cassava Enterprises sites. Still, if you would like to play 90, 80 and 75-ball bingo while doing your bit for good causes, Bingo Giving led by Charlie the charity chimp is up to the task.
