Tea Time Bingo Review

“Your fortune in a cup!” runs the excitable slogan of Tea Time Bingo. Put the kettle on, get comfy and prepare to play some bingo. There’s a £15 no deposit bonus when you sign up and there are all kinds of bingo games to be enjoyed. 90-ball; 75-ball; whatever you’re into, you’ll find it here, because Tea Time Bingo is linked to the Live Bingo Network, enabling players from multiple bingo sites to compete for big jackpot prizes simultaneously.

The site has made the decision to feature profile pictures of winners on its homepage. While it’s encouraging to see that real people have won real sums, it would be fair to say that bingo players on average aren’t the most photogenic bunch, and there might be a case for saying that their profile pictures are best kept to their profiles. Nevermind. Elsewhere on the homepage, there’s a section detailing the top games, slots that are ‘top’ purely by dint of being the featured games at all sites by this operator. Take your pick from Aztecs, Cupid’s Arrow and Easter Bunny.

About Tea Time Bingo

Tea Time Bingo is operated by Cozygames Management Limited, a company who are based in the Isle of Man and licensed and regulated by the Isle of Man Gambling Commission, They’re also licensed to operate the site within the UK. Established in 2009, Tea Time Bingo is one of the older sites ran by Cozygames. Headquartered in Douglas, on the Isle of Man, they’ve been responsible for releasing dozens of bingo sites over the years whose quality varies considerably. Tea Time Bingo is probably one of the better ones, it must be said.

If nothing else, the site’s operators have attempted to create some semblance of a vibrant bingo community, with chat moderators on hand to promote discussion and to get players to engage with one another while enjoying free and low-cost chat bingo games. Aside from bingo, there are over 35 other games to be played at Tea Time Bingo, all of which have been independently tested to ensure fair play and honest payouts.

Tea Time Banking

When it comes to making your first deposit at Tea Time Bingo, there’s a range of options available. Choose from card payments in the form of Solo, Switch, MasterCard and Visa. Alternatively, try Neteller, Paysafecard, Skrill or Boku. Boku is a mobile payment option, one that can be used for deposits only, just like Paysafecard. You may be required to submit identification documents before your first withdrawal request is processed. Deposits should clear instantly, but withdrawals can take a while to clear.

Newbie Bonus

When you sign up and validate your credit or debit card, you’ll be awarded a £15 no deposit bonus. After that, there’s a 400% first deposit bonus waiting to be claimed. Deposit a minimum of £5 to claim this offer. This cash is subject to an 8x wagering requirement for bingo and a 20x wagering requirement for slots before it can be withdrawn. On the promotions page, you’ll find mention of a Newbie Bonus Boons, which is a strange name for a simple promotion, one that follows up the 400% welcome bonus with a 350% second deposit bonus and 300% third.

Other promotions of note include a weekly cashback offer in which there’s up to 20% to be claimed. You’ll need to have deposited over £200 in a week to claim 20% back, but with as little as a £25 deposit you’ll be eligible for cashback, albeit at a lower amount. There are two other promotions that are highlighted on the site’s promotions page: free bingo, which is eligible to all players who’ve made a deposit in the past week, and Jackpot Special, which refers to weekly bingo games with prizes of £500 and monthly jackpots of £1,000.

Bingo Games

Because Tea Time Bingo is connected to the Live Bingo Network, it’s able to offer players a wide range of bingo games. Choose from 90, 80, 75, 50 and 30-ball bingo games, with prizes ranging all the way up to £2,500 – and that’s just for the coverall bingo games. Games have names such as Victoria 90, Big Ben, Down Town, Buckingham Palace and City Hall. Tickets for these cost between 5p and 10p on average. The value of the jackpots is displayed alongside each game together with a countdown timer revealing how long you’ve got left to purchase tickets before the game starts.

Tea Time Slots

Tea Time Bingo is kitted out with a reasonable selection of slots. They’re certainly not the best selection of games, but they’ll do for the purposes of passing the time in between playing bingo. Games include Toys ‘N Treasure, New Honey Bees, Shaman’s Luck, Crystal Drop, Bargainista, Five Pirates and Brittonaire. The graphics are average, but on the plus side, games are designed to work on mobile and tablet as well as on desktop devices. Tea Time Bingo also has got a selection of casino games which include a selection of video poker titles. Try the likes of Aces & Faces, 10s or Better and Jacks or Better.

There’s blackjack too including European Blackjack and Multi Hand European Blackjack. Roulette is also offered at the mini casino; American, French and Premier Roulette to be precise, plus European Roulette Gold. A few scratch cards are provided, granting a means of winning instantly and quickly if your luck’s in, and there’s a category labelled as Freebets. These are games that cost nothing to play and where the enjoyment is derived purely from taking part.

Tea Time Bingo Conclusion

There’s two ways of looking at Tea Time Bingo. You could construe it as a charming and well-constructed bingo site that’s easy to use and stocked with some excellent welcome bonuses and bingo games. Alternatively, you could interpret it as a generic and homogenous site, one that looks like every other site operated by this company. If you are of the mindset that Tea Time Bingo falls into the former category, and is a pleasant place to play, there’s plenty here to take your fancy. The 400% first deposit bonus is decent at least, as is the 15% no deposit bonus that comes before that.

In terms of games, the slots are average at best, but the bingo’s noticeably better. That’ll be on account of the Live Bingo Network who offer some excellent games, not only in terms of choice but also in terms of the jackpots to be enjoyed. The progressive jackpots especially are extremely generous. Tea Time Bingo then is what you make of it: either a capable and refreshing bingo site or a capable bingo site but one that offers nothing new. Still, whatever way you look at it, there’s certainly fun to be had and all kinds of bingo to be played here.
