Bingo Chimp Review

Bingo Chimp is a cheeky, cheerful kind of site. Its logo features a monkey merrily swinging through the trees while in the background a jungle scene complete with palm trees and waterfalls can be made out. The top part of the homepage, above the fold, is all about that mischievous chimp and having fun while the lower half is business as usual.

This means detailing the slots and other games that are available at Bingo Chimp, which are laid out in a manner whose colours and style aren’t remotely in keeping with the theme it must be said. This is a common habit of Cozygames Management Ltd who are the operators of this site. The site is linked to the Live Bingo Network, enabling players to enjoy bingo games all around the clock. What’s more, all of these games, plus the slots, have been optimised for mobile devices.

About Bingo Chimp

Cozygames Management were established in 2005 and have been producing British-based bingo sites ever since. They’ve probably got 100s of these sites to their name now, electing to take a quantity over quality approach, which is why some of their sites look very hastily assembled. Others, like Bingo Chimp, look better, utilising a responsive design that’s tailored to suit the needs of mobile and tablet users.

In addition to bingo, there are over 35 other games to be played on the site, all of which have been independently audited to ensure fair play and honest payouts. In terms of security, Bingo Chimp uses 128-bit SSL encryption which should be enough to keep customers’ sensitive data secure. Should you require assistance while using the site, submit a support ticket and Bingo Chimp will endeavour to respond within 10 minutes.

No Monkeying Around with Banking

There’s a well designed FAQ at Bingo Chimp and it’s here you’ll find the answers to all your banking and withdrawal queries. Deposit methods accepted by the site are Visa, MasterCard, Switch, Solo, Neteller, Paysafecard, Skrill and Ukash and the minimum deposit amount is £10. Bingo Chimp doesn’t specify withdrawal methods, but you can probably use all of the foregoing except for Ukash and Paysafecard. Withdrawal requests take 2-3 days to clear, followed by a few more before funds appear in your account.

The Chimp’s Bonuses

The 400% welcome bonus is by far the biggest offer waiting to be claimed at Bingo Chimp. This is applied on deposits of between £5 and £500. It’s worth noting that many of Cozygames Management’s other bingo sites offer casino bonuses of 500% so technically you could get a better deal elsewhere. Nevertheless, 400% is still a generous bonus. There’s a 4x wagering requirement on bingo and 10x on slots before this money can be withdrawn.

There’s also cashback to be claimed from playing here, as tends to be the case for sites from this operator. This works out at a mere 5% for deposits of over £25 but by the time you get to deposits in excess of £200, there’s 25% cashback to be claimed. There might also be second deposit bonuses of 350% and 300% for new players, but this promotion is never satisfactorily explained at any of Cozygames Management’s multiple bingo sites.

Coundown to Bingo

Head to the bingo lobby and you’ll see a series of countdown timers indicating when the next games are scheduled to start. You shouldn’t have to wait long for the action to commence – a minute or two at most. While 90-ball and 75-ball bingo are the most common types of game you’ll encounter here, there is the occasional 80, 50 and 30-ball game to be enjoyed too, even if their jackpots tend to be lower in value.

Tickets for these games can range between 1p and £1, with the progressive jackpot games commanding the highest fee. Purchase multiple tickets for each game you enter if you like – that’s the best way to maximise your chances of winning at least. There are certainly some big sums to be won from the jackpot games, with £2,500 at a time up for grabs each day in the biggest games. All of the bingo games available at Bingo Chimp have been provided by the Live Bingo Network, which offers the same games simultaneously to thousands of other sites across the UK and Europe. These games have very British names such as Down Town, Buckingham Palace and Victoria 90.

Video Slots to Discover

The other means of entertaining yourself at Bingo Chimp involves video slots, as is the case at most bingo sites. It’s not mandatory for bingo sites to serve up slots on the side, but it’s almost always the case. Bingo Chimp’s selection includes the likes of Toony Jack, Cupid’s Arrow, Aztecs and Fish Toons. Not exactly the sort of titles that are going to be first on most slots players lips – these games certainly aren’t that good – but they’re sort of slots you could amuse yourself with for five minutes or so, which is essentially all they’re designed to do.

In addition to slots, there are scratch cards which include such games as Bargainista, Treasures of King Arthur, Go Bo Bananas, Happy Hour and You Bet Your Asteroids. These games, like all of the games to be played at Bingo Chimp for that matter, are accompanied by a user rating which gives an indication as to whether or not they’re worth your time. Again, these games aren’t likely to hold your attention for long, but they’ll suffice for the purposes of trying to win some cash without straying too far from your next bingo game which is likely minutes from starting.

Bingo Chimp Conclusion

Bingo Chimp is one of the better sites Cozygames Management have put their name to but by no means the best on account of the welcome bonus that’s 20% lower here and the fact that the theme isn’t implemented particularly well. In truth, it’s hard to objectively rate these sites cos they’re all the same, identical clones of one another differentiated solely by a reskin which changes the name, logo and colour scheme and nothing else. Thus, Bingo Chimp is in reality as good and as bad as all other sites by this operator.

The good things about Bingo Chimp include a well designed FAQ, a wide range of deposit methods, good site security and capable customer support. There’s a good choice of bingo games thanks to the Live Bingo Network, including niche game types such as 30 and 50-ball bingo that you’re unlikely to find elsewhere (aside from at every other site connected to Live Bingo Network). In truth, bingo is bingo, regardless of how many balls there are to choose from. On the plus side, the value of the jackpots is to be commended and the price of the tickets is fair. It’s possible to squeeze in a whole lot of bingo here without breaking the bank or putting a dent in your deposit money.
