Real Deal Bingo Review

Real Deal Bingo is the real deal. It must be cos it’s in the name and you wouldn’t name your site Real Deal Bingo if it didn’t offer the realest of deals, right? The deals might be as bona fide as it gets, but this realness seems to come at the expense of visuals. There’s not a lot going on at this site in terms image sliders and all the other illustrative features that are normally used to entice punters into signing up. Instead, it’s left solely to the images of the featured games to inject a dash of colour.

Provided you’re okay with a black and yellow colour scheme and a paucity of featured images, Real Deal Bingo certainly gets the job done. In place of pictures, you’ve got text which promotes the site’s welcome offer which comprises £70 of bingo tickets plus 10 free spins. Sign up and make your first deposit to avail yourself of this offer. Recent winners on the site are proclaimed in a roll of honour that scrolls past, detailing their username and the sum they won. Most of the wins are capped at £50 but there is the occasional bigger win which runs to several hundred pounds.

About Real Deal Bingo

Real Deal Bingo is operated by Cassava Enterprises Limited who, as any experienced British bingo player will know, have vast experience of providing such services to a UK clientele. They have certain qualities which work in their favour, like the fact that they’ve built up a solid reputation over the years, and they’ve got things which count against them, like the fact that all of their sites are essentially the same. The company are based in Gibraltar and are licensed by its government. Because they’re owned by the 888 group, it’s 888 UK Limited who hold the UK license issued by the Great Britain Gambling Commission.

All of the games that can be played on the site have been independently audited to ensure fair play and honest payouts. If you require customer support, you can get in touch by calling the freephone UK number provided between 9am and 1am. There’s also email support available, though it may take up to 48 hours for your query to be met with a response. There also appears to be live chat which is available 24/7 when you’re logged in. Real Deal Bingo, like all of the other sites operated by Cassava Enterprises, utilises a mobile-friendly layout and its games should on mobile, tablet and smartphone.

Real Deal Banking

Cassava Enterprises like to use a scrolling ticker in the footer of the homepage to display the deposit and withdrawal options that they offer. It’s just a thing that they do and hey, it works. Scroll to the footer of any page and you’ll learn that you can deposit funds via PayPal, Paysafecard, MasterCard, Maestro, Entropay, and bank transfer. Because sites by this operator don’t tend to have a banking page, if you’re wanting to learn more about deposits and withdrawals, you’ll want to head to the FAQ. Here, in the case of Real Deal Bingo, you’ll discover the world’s most useless FAQ, certainly in regards to payment options at least.

For example, you’ll read “Please find the maximum withdrawal timeframes below (please take the table from the T&Cs).” It’s uncertain whether this is advice for the web development team who were supposed to remove this line of text from the site or whether Real Deal Bingo genuinely want customers to scroll through a separate page of terms and conditions to discover withdrawal times. Either way, it’s unacceptable, and isn’t how you go about converting site visitors into new customers. There is some information available here however. You’ll learn, for example, that the minimum deposit amount is £5. Real Deal Bingo’s FAQ is so lazy it doesn’t even list the available deposit methods, instead stating “We accepts [sic] most payment methods” which is blatantly untrue because they don’t.

Minimum £10 Deposit

Real Deal Bingo is a new site that Cassava Enterprises launched in 2017, but it’s still hosting the same tired promotions that can be found at all of this operator’s sites. The welcome offer of £70 of bingo tickets and 10 free spins isn’t exactly going to attract the high rollers, but then bingo isn’t that sort of a game in fairness. Deposit a minimum of £10 to claim the welcome offer, whereupon you’ll be awarded your free spins on the Fluffy Favourites slot.

Any wins you generate with these free spins are capped at £1 which is pretty hilarious. God forbid you should win a tenner and bankrupt Real Deal Bingo in the process. The ongoing promotions available when you join are revealed, sort of, on a dedicated page. It’s a ‘sort of’ in the sense that you don’t actually receive any sort of information about these promos without consulting the Ts&Cs.

What’s the big deal with obliging customers to wade through paragraphs of dense legales? Why not just explain the promotion in simple terms? There is Ace Club, for example, which is the site’s loyalty scheme, but that’s all that’s known about it without jumping into the Ts&Cs. Other deals to watch out for are Guaranteed Win, a game in which there’s £2,500 to be won on the 15th of the month, and the highly original Guaranteed Win 2 which does the same on the 1st of the month. There’s also a promo called Gob Smacked, where you could win up to 100 free spins, but once more you’ll need to consult the Ts&Cs to find out what’s involved. There are two more promotions to look out for at Real Deal Bingo: Last Call, which is limited to 75 players, but you’ll have to consult the Ts&Cs to find out what it is, and Free Games, which comprises free bingo games available every 30 minutes.

The Real Deal Games

There are only ever two types of bingo to be played at Cassava Enterprises sites – 75-ball and 90-ball. The games work just like you’d expect them to, with cheap tickets and cheap prizes for the most part, save for the odd big money game. Aside from the relentless bingo, you’ve got a bunch of slots to play whose quality varies but which include Fluffy Favourites, Irish Luck, Fluffy Too and all the other slots that this operator have been serving up at all their bingo sites since the dawn of time.

Real Deal Bingo Conclusion

Real Deal Bingo is a new site that’s as mediocre as everything else Cassava Enterprises have done to date. It works, for the purposes of playing bingo, but it doesn’t leave you feeling excited or any of the other positive emotions that online gambling can elicit. The promotions suck, the FAQ sucks and the amount you can win from your 10 free spins is miserly. There are some reasonable slots and passable bingo games, and the site works on mobile, but that’s all that can be said in its favour.
