Bingo Funland Review

Bingo Funland certainly sounds like a fun site at which to play. It also looks like a fun site, with a colourful header with a magical theme that features toadstools that double as houses, all kinds of cheery gnomes, a bright rainbow and tree roots that creep over the side ofthe grassy vale that spans the top ofthe homepage. Colourful and upbeat, there is a lot to love about Bingo Funland on first glance. Unfortunately, once you start to delve into the site, the remainder of it doesn't fare so well.

For one thing, the featured slider doesn't load in many browsers. This is because it is reliant on Flash to work. Because certain browsers including Chrome don't support Flash these days you'll be unable to view the animations that appear on it featuring various gnomes along with information about the 200% welcome bonus that awaits. It seems silly to continue maintaining a site that is so reliant on flash, thereby preventing mobile players in particular from enjoying full functionality. The remainder ofthe homepage does load but there isn't much else to be gleaned from it other than viewing a list ofthe latest winners, winners who almost certainly scooped these jackpots at other sites operated by the same company.

About Bingo Funland

Bingo Funland is a site that was established in 2004 and which is operated by a company named Cassava Enterprises Ltd. They are based inGibraltar, a British enclave where a great many gaming companies are based. The company are regulated by theGibraltar Gambling Commissioner but also hold a licence issued by the Great Britain Gambling Commission to parent company 888 UK Limited. This is because Cassava Enterprises are part ofthe 888 group. Virtual Digital Services Ltd are another company whose name features on the site because they are licensed to offer the games that can be found at Bingo Funland to players based withinthe EU.

A clear sign as to whether or not a bingo site – or indeed any site for that matter – is still regularly maintained is by checking out its social channels. The social channels that correspond with the various online sites Cassava Enterprises operate are invariably discontinued. That's exactly how it proves to be at Bingo Funland, whose Facebook page was last updated in 2014. This digital graveyard doesn't bode well for the rest ofthe site as a whole, even if the rest of it, or at least those elements that aren't reliant on Flash, look very presentable. If you require customer support while using this site, you can do so online by live chat or email. Alternatively, there is a freephone UK number provided.

Fun-derful Banking

The simplest way to determine the range of deposit options available at the site is by looking at the footer of any particular page. Here you will see a scrolling list of payment options that include PayPal, Paysafecard, Neteller, Visa, MasterCard and Maestro. There is also Entropay. These options will be available for deposits and withdrawals with the exception of Paysafecard which can be used for deposits only.

Other withdrawal options that will be available to you, because this is a Cassava Enterprises site, include cheque and bank transfer. Withdrawal requests take 48 hours to be processed. After this, the fastest you will receive your funds is within 2 to 3 days if you're using UK MasterCard, PayPal or Neteller. Other options will take up to a week or even longer to clear, as is the case with cheque or bank transfer.

Funland Bonus Choices

If you’re using this site in a browser that loads Flash, you’ll be able to discover via the homepage slider that there is a 200% welcome bonus waiting for you when you sign up and deposit a minimum of £10. The maximum amount of bonus cash that is available in conjunction with this offer is £100. This cash is subject to a 4x wagering requirement before it can be withdrawn. As for the promotions page itself, it is stocked with the usual promotions that this operator likes to run at its great many bingo sites.

There are several thousandofthese andthey all offer identical promotions. Notable promotions that can be enjoyed at Bingo Funlandinclude Fundies Fifty which is a £50 jackpot game that operates on Tuesday and Thursday for one hour. Night owls will want to check out the room called Late Night Show which has £100 in cash prizes to be won and which operates from 1am every evening. Players are encouraged to jointhe loyalty scheme where there are points awarded for the more time you put playing the games and making regular deposits. There is also a monthly prize draw called the 2 Million Race in which 40 winners will share two million loyalty points.

Go 90, or 75!

As usual, you’ll find two primary types of bingo that are available at this Cassava Enterprises site. There is 90-ball bingo, which is the most common variant played inthe UK and where there are multiple ways to win. The lowest prize will be awarded for completing one line, whereas two lines will grant you an additional prize andthe greatest prize of all is achieved by completing three lines. This is also known as full house. Complete playing guides for this and for the other bingo games is available on the site.

The 75-ball bingo option is almost as popular withinthe UK these days even though the game originated in North America. There is only one way to winin this game but arguably the game is more fun to play because players get to complete predetermined patterns on their cards such as letters, shapes or numbers.

There's also a smaller number of High Five bingo games offered where there are five ways to winand lines can be completed in multiple directions. In terms of jackpots, there is a selection of coverall and progressive bingo jackpots. With the former, there is a guaranteed sum to be won in each game which could be several hundred pounds or even several thousandinthe case ofthe larger games. With the progressive jackpot games, although there is not a guarantee that the prize pot will be won in any given game, one player will eventually get lucky, scooping the entire pot, which continues to grow in size until such an event occurs.

Bingo Funland Conclusion

Playing at Bingo Funland is a mixed bag. Provided you’re accessing the site on desktop using a browser that is compatible with Flash then you should have no problems and will find a good selection of games that will work just fine. Other web browsers as well as mobile devices won’t fare as well. You should still be able to use this site but its functionality will be reduced which is unfortunate. On a more positive note, the bingo games and slots that can be played here are enjoyable and many offer extremely high jackpots.

Given that this site hasn't been properly maintained in about three years however you may decide that you would have more fun playing somewhere that has an active bingo community and whose operator has put some effort into keeping players entertained. Bingo Funland is a site that has potential but at present it is potential that it isn't remotely close to realising.
