Glossy Bingo Review

Glossy Bingo was launched in January 2013 by its parent company Broadway Gaming limited to provide some glitz and glamour to the online bingo world.

Its owners are well-known players in the online bingo industry as they own five specific online bingo websites, as well as one casino site.

Glossy Bingo, given away perhaps by its title, is a site that looks to offer players an online gaming experience that is classier than the rest. Think of their target market as caviar and champagne, so it takes a certain someone to fully appreciate Glossy Bingo and what it has to offer.

The site is licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority and the UK Gambling Commission. What this means for players is that two of the most trusted online gaming regulators in the industry are ensuring this site is always a safe place for bingo, slots and casino game fans to enjoy.

Changing Feel

The site is really easy for visiting players to navigate their way around, even if it their first time on the Glossy Bingo platform. 

As is common with other Broadway Gaming websites their template of design and colours changes depending on the time of year. 

Traditionally, the Glossy Bingo page is quite bland and simplistic, with all the information split into three separate categories with black, red and green backgrounds. However, players will notice that Glossy bingo occasionally change their template to suit a festive time of year, such as Christmas or Halloween. It’s a feature that will certainly be appreciated by a lot of members, especially as it helps them get in the mood for that specific time of year.

At the head of the website are links to all the important pages that players will commonly use on site including access to all the bingo, casino and slot games, access to the promotions page, information on the VIP rewards packages available as well as details on banking and customer support available. 

A couple of the pods located on the home page are saved for news of the latest big wins that players have on the Glossy Bingo website. This is a clever bit of marketing from the site and it allows dreamers to visit the site and understood that the same thing could happen to them on the same games they play. 

A small quote from the lucky winners adds a human element that so many other online casino and bingo websites fail to include. What this means for members visiting is that there’s no reason why big wins aren’t possible on Glossy Bingo. 

Mainly About the Bingo

It doesn’t take a genius for visitors to work out that the Glossy Bingo website is mainly about members trying to get lines and full houses. 

Clicking on the bingo tab will allow members to open up links to the live games that are about to start on the website. Information about these rooms include how many players are currently active in that room, a countdown clock until the next game starting and the tickets available. 

The majority of rooms on the Glossy website are 90 ball games as opposed to 75 balls, of which there is only a handful. This is partly influenced on the fact that bingo players traditionally prefer the 90 ball formats, so clearly the Glossy Bingo website is catering to that. 

In addition, the site also has chat hosts to greet players as they enjoy bingo on the website. They will spark up great chit chat with members and a sense of community will be easily created on the site – thus helping bingo players to enjoy their Glossy experience. 

Unlike some other Broadway Gaming websites, Glossy offers players a fair selection of casino games. Poker, Blackjack and Roulette appear in a number of different formats meaning that should players get bored with the bingo games then they could hop over and enjoy more traditional casino titles. 

All of these virtual titles are provided by Pragmatic Play, who is a popular developer that is known to provide exciting and engaging online casino titles. 

There is also a decent number of slot machine games provided so those who enjoy the thrill of spinning reels can do so – perhaps whilst a bingo game isn’t active. 

However, one negative for the site is that the overall selection is very limited. It seems as though there are a maximum of 100 games available on the site, including bingo, casino and slots at the time of writing. This means Glossy has a lot less to offer than other online bingo websites, a real shame for those wanting the glamourous gaming experience. 

Simple Promotion

The welcome bonus, albeit not advertised much on the site, is extremely simple and straightforward. It’s basically advertised as new players who deposit €10 will be able to enjoy €35 across the whole site. 

Putting this offer up against some of other online bingo and casinos welcome offers and it’s easy to see why so many players aren’t too thrilled by what Glossy has to offer. There’s no doubt that players can get a more lucrative welcome elsewhere, however there a number of other promotions for existing players. 

Every day on site features offers and bonuses that members can take advantage of. Some of which including jackpot games, cheaper tickets, speed bingo where more games can be played and a loyalty reward bonus worth up to €600! 

The loyalty benefits don’t end there though, as the Glossy Bingo website offers four different levels of VIP membership: rising star, TV star, film star and the top reward – Super star! Benefits in this invite-only clubs include slot and bingo bonuses, a birthday gift and tournaments where loads of money can be won!

Minimum €10 Deposit

Apart from MasterCard and PaysafeCard, all the options to deposit money can also be used on the site to withdraw money. The minimum amount players can deposit on site is €10, while the minimum per withdrawal is €20 – which is quite high. 

Due to the site caring about its players’ safety, they employ an encryption software system that ensures all banking details are kept private at all times. 

Live Help Is Always on Hand

On the right hand side of the screen is a small icon that players can click to open up the live chat service on site. This is active 24 hours a day, 7 days a week – so whatever time players are enjoying Glossy Bingo’s games, there is always a customer service agent there to offer their help. 

If live chat with the agents doesn’t sound too helpful, members can directly email the team on support@glossybingo.com. 

Glossy’s Glamorous, but Not for Us

Glossy Bingo has a good range of promotions and the fact they have a support team that are on hand 24/7 should not be over-looked. However, the overall selection of games, including bingo, is far from glamourous. 

Players don’t have enough of a choice and variety in their games and it means members are likely not to feel fully satisfied on the Glossy Bingo website. There are definitely more glamourous choices elsewhere.
