Farmyard Bingo Review

Welcome to the farmyard, the home of pigs, sheep, cattle, a rumbling tractor, some muddy puddles and, oh yes, 90-ball bingo. Allow Percy the pot-bellied pig – that’s what he’s called – to guide you around the site. He’s the genial character tasked with introducing players to the farm, which has a sustainable and wholesome vibe to it. The daisies grow freely, baby chicks take hot air balloon rides and the whole place feels very cheery.

Provided farmyard puns don’t trigger you, there’s nothing to be afraid of here. The site speaks of how players can ‘harvest’ rewards and ‘plough on’, because half the fun of naming your bingo site is being given carte blanche to then dream up the most execrable punts to accompany the theme. That’s just the way the world works. In addition to 90 and 75-ball bingo, there are slots, table games, mini games and scratch cards to keep you entertained.

About Farmyard Bingo

Farmyard Bingo is a site that’s operated by Cassava Enterprises Limited, a company who are based in Gibraltar. They’re licensed by the Gibraltar Gambling Commissioner and their UK services are controlled by 888 UK Limited who are incorporated in Gibraltar and hold a license issued by the Great Britain Gambling Commission. Virtual Digital Services Limited, meanwhile, oversee the site’s operations within the EU.

The bingo software that runs on the site has been developed by Brigend Limited. Their software can also be found on many of the other sites Cassava Enterprises are involved with such as Sing Bingo and Costa Bingo. The software has been independently tested to ensure that it provides fair play and honest payouts. Mandalay Media Limited, an Isle of Man company, are in charge of maintaining the site. If you require customer support while playing at the site, email, live chat and phone are your options; a freephone UK number is provided.

Farm-iliar Banking Options

One of the good things about Cassava Enterprises sites is that they all accept payment by phone if you have a credit or debit card. Call the freephone number and give your details to a member of their team who’ll credit the funds to your account. Alternatively, you can complete the deposit via their website using Visa, Maestro, MasterCard or one of the alternative payment options provided. These comprise Paysafecard and wire transfer.

If you go with the latter option, it will take 5-8 business days before the funds clear into your account. It’s possible that Neteller and PayPal can also be used to make deposits. Then again, it’s possible that these are withdrawal options only – it’s never quite made clear. Withdrawal requests take 48 hours to be processed, after which MasterCard funds can show up in as little as two days, whereas other cards will take up to five days.

Whopping Welcome Bonus

120 Free Bingo Tickets could be yours when you make a first deposit at the casino. It's not a huge bonus by any stretch, but it's good way of getting acquainted with the Farmyard! Once you've used that bonus, you can also look forward to a range of seasonal promotions including special prizes for certain bingo games and free tickets to games.

Games that have been enhanced thanks to Farmyard Bingo promotions include Penny Piglets, a 90-ball game which runs four times a day with 1p cards and up to £200 in cash to be won. On Sundays at 9pm, Percy the pig welcomes players to the £5k Nest Egg game with a minimum of £5,000 in cash up for grabs. Fans of 75-ball bingo might prefer Udder Madness, a daily game which has cards costing between zero and 5p and bonus cash and farmyard points to be won.

Welcome Offer: 18+ new players only. Minimum deposit £10. Maximum amount of tickets is fixed at 120. Tickets will be awarded to 4 specified rooms only, 30 tickets per room. Max 6 tickets per game. Winnings in real cash. Withdrawal policy applies. Full T&Cs apply

Diamond Club

Diamond Club is the name given to the site’s VIP scheme, a programme that rewards players for their loyalty and continued custom. You’ll start off at Bronze level until you deposit £50 or more, whereupon you’ll advance to Silver, complete with the benefits that are commensurate with this level. Next up is Silver for deposits of over £500, Gold for over £1,000 and Platinum for over £5,000. The range of bonuses you can expect to extract from the VIP programme include free spins on slots, free cards for selected games, deposit bonuses, real cash and free products and gifts.

The Three Types of Bingo

Down at the farm, you’ll find three different kinds of bingo to play, the 90-ball and 75-ball versions complemented by 5-line bingo. This latter game is the quickest of the bunch with 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 lines all warranting a prize. The 90-ball game should be very familiar to British players, though the American 75-ball game shouldn’t seem alien either since it’s available at a good many casinos in the UK nowadays.

The progressive jackpot games are where the real money’s at. There are two 75-ball, two 90-ball and one 5-line progressive jackpots, each of which keeps growing until someone wins it by getting full house in 38 calls or less. In some games, such as the 5-line game, that threshold is set at 45 calls or less, and 30 calls or less in the case of the Cosmopolitan PJP. There’s no guarantee as to when the progressive pots will be claimed, but there are many more games that feature a guaranteed jackpot. These include Cash Cow, hosted on Mondays at 9pm, Treasure Trough on Tuesdays at 9pm and Piggy Bank on Wednesdays when there’s £2,500 to be won.

Progressive Options

There are plenty of casino games to be found at Farmyard Bingo too, slots mostly including progressive slots with jackpots as big as £30,000. Over 100 video slots include White Wizard, Lost Island, Robin Hood and Wizard of Oz. The progressive slots include Irish Luck and Fluffy Favourites. Even though there’s just one table game, European Roulette, the selection of mini games goes some way towards compensating for this. Noughts & Crosses, Jewel Journey and Enchanted Prince cram a whole lot of action into a short space of time, as does Hollywood Stars where matching stars is the secret to success.

Farmyard Conclusion

Farmyard Bingo is another decent bingo site from Cassava Enterprises. The theme works, Porky the pig injecting some character into proceedings, and the site is well laid out and easy to navigate. There are no real surprises here, good or bad, so there’s nothing to get excited about. Still, there’s certainly nothing wrong with the bingo games, and it’s pleasing to see 5-line bingo included as an option.

Aside from the banking page being ambiguous and there being a glaring shortage of table games, Farmyard Bingo can’t really be faulted. The slots aren’t the most exciting or feature-rich you’ll ever play, but they’ll do and, if nothing else, there’s a lot of them to choose from. If you’re a bingo devotee, this place seems as good a place as any to get your kicks. Sign up, claim your bingo tickets and get started.
