Glorious Bingo Review

OK. We’re going to be blunt. There is nothing glorious about Glorious Bingo. This is possibly the skinniest site ever published on the web. There is no background image whatsoever applied to this site, leaving nothing but a narrow ribbon of website floating in a sea of screen space. A lot of sites used to look like this because their design was not responsive. This meant that they had to be designed to work on a wide range of screens which is why the skinny design was preferred. Those days are long gone however, except for when you’re playing at Glorious Bingo of course where those days live on.

Glorious Bingo truly is an awful site. It is true that the measure of a bingo site cannot be based solely on how well it is designed. However, it is also true that any site that looks awful is going to be shunned by prospective new players. There is absolutely nothing on the homepage of Glorious Bingo that would spur you into making this place your bingo home. Launched in 2006, Glorious Bingo hasn't received a facelift since then. It could badly use one.

About Glorious Bingo

Curiously, the information summarising Glorious Bingo has been relegated to the footer and is printed in extremely small text. However if you peer closely, you should be able to work out that games include 75 and 90-ball bingo along with slots and progressive jackpot games. Cassava Enterprises, the name of the company who operate the site, are based in Gibraltar and licensed and regulated by the Gibraltar Gambling Commissioner. Parent company 888 UK limited are licensed and regulated by the Great Britain Gambling Commission.

Virtual Digital Services Ltd also hold a licence issued in Gibraltar that allows them to operate Glorious Bingo’s services for players based within the European Union. There is also a separate company who own the Glorious Bingo brand name. It seems safe to assume that it hasn't proven lucrative for them in recent years assuming, they're making an commission on all bingo revenue at this extremely poor looking site. If you require customer services while using the site, there is live chat, email and a freephone UK number provided that is operational from 9am till 1am 7 days a week.

Take Note

There are so many ways in which Glorious Bingo is hilariously bad. For example, on the homepage there is an information box on how to make deposits and withdrawals. This would appear to be a good thing, for most Cassava Enterprises sites don't have any deposit information whatsoever. However, you will need to prepare yourself for crushing disappointment because when you click on the image of banknotes that accompanies this information box, you'll be taken through to a JPEG picture of the very same banknotes displayed at the very same thumbnail size. Oops.

In the end, you’re best just looking to the footer of the website where you can see the payment logos displayed in a scrolling list. These are as follows: Visa, MasterCard, Maestro, Entropay, PayPal, Paysafecard and Neteller. There is a 48-hour wait before your withdrawal request will be processed, after which it will take two to three days at the soonest before your funds appear in your account. Bank transfer and cheque are also available as withdrawal options and will take longer to clear.

Less Than Impressive Bonuses

There is a miserly 100% first deposit match when you sign up at Glorious Bingo. Deposit at least £10 to claim this offer and a maximum of £100. This cash is subject to a 4x wagering requirement before it can be withdrawn. The remaining promotions to be found at Glorious Bingo are even less impressive because these are the generic ones that Cassava Enterprises roll out at all of their sites. In truth, these don't really deserve to be called promotions unless you count the occasional bingo game that has some additional money in it or things such as Happy Hour which operates between 4pm and 6pm every Monday.

There is some sort of loyalty scheme in place, a prize draw held monthly and a couple of specific big money bingo games promoted, although why they mention these on the promotions page is uncertain given that there are many other regular games at Glorious Bingo that have bigger jackpots. Whatever the case, here you can learn about the Grab a Grand jackpot which dispenses £1,000 in prizes and is hosted on the 15th of every month. There is also a monthly game, Zodiac Bingo, with a prize of £1,111.

Your Glorious Bingo Options

There are three types of bingo to be played at Glorious Bingo. The least common of these is High 5 Bingo, which appears to be more popular in Scandinavia than the UK. There are five ways to win when playing this game, by completing a row of numbers diagonally, vertically or horizontally. With the 75-ball game, which is also available here, there is only one way to win, making it essentially a first past the post bingo game. Although more common in North America, 75-ball bingo has built up a loyal following in the UK. Then we have 90-ball bingo in which there are three ways to win and the biggest prize comes for completing full house which happens when you cover all three lines on your ticket.

The coverall jackpot games available on the site have guaranteed cash to be won. Prizes range from £500 to as much as £1 million in the case of the highest value games which are hosted occasionally. Going back to the promotions page, and this makes you wonder why Cassava Enterprises don't big up their £1 million game instead of promoting some sort of diddy £1,000 game on every single one of those sites. It is a strange decision to say the least.

Anything Else at Glorious?

You will find the usual selection of games from this operator available at Glorious Bingo including slots such as Wizard of Oz, Jack and the Beanstalk, Elements and Bruce Lee 2. There's nothing particularly wrong with these slots although they are extremely tired, having been doing the rounds at hundreds of Cassava Enterprises bingo sites for years. In addition to these, you should find a small selection of mini games and some scratch cards where there’s the possibility to win big amounts almost instantly.

Glorious Bingo Conclusion

Glorious Bingo is a rubbish website to look at and to play it. There’s absolutely nothing new here and nothing that might coax you into wanting to sign up. The casino bonus is 3 or 4 times smaller than that you'll find at other sites including more recent sites run by Cassava Enterprises. The whole site looks hopelessly out of date and is not fit for purpose for playing at in the current year. You could play here but why would you want to when there are so many better online bingo sites out there? Avoid Glorious Bingo. It really isn't worth your time.
