Canal Bingo Review

Canal Bingo might seem like a strange name for a bingo website, but then it's worth bearing in mind that this isn't a British site – it’s a Spanish one. A word of advice: just make sure you don’t miss out the ‘C’ while typing its URL into your browser. We traditionally think of the British as being the world's most ardent bingo players, and they probably are. It is worth remembering though that many other countries across Europe and North America are equally enamored with the simple but highly enjoyable game of bingo. One of these is Spain.

Canal Bingo is designed for Spanish players which is why it is set to Spanish by default and offers customer support in the Spanish language. There is a €200 first deposit bonus to be claimed, a range of bingo games to be enjoyed 24 hours a day and a good selection of deposit options. As well as bingo, Spanish players on the site can take their pick from a good selection of casino games such as roulette, blackjack and poker. When it comes to video slots, there are over 70 games in total that can be played instantly in-browser by desktop or mobile.

About Canal Bingo

Canal Bingo is owned by a company called Gamesys Spain PLC. They are registered in Gibraltar and are licensed to offer various games to the Spanish market. If you need to get hold of a member of the site’s customer service team, they offer an email address and a Spanish phone number. The whole site has been optimised for mobile and tablet, enabling players to enjoy casino and bingo games wherever they may be.

Because Canal Bingo is targeted at the Spanish population, it is also licensed within that country to offer gaming services. Players must be over 18 to sign up and the site is strict about ensuring that all of its member play responsibly. Gamesys Ltd are the company whose software is used to power the bingo games you’ll find on the site.

Canal Winners

It is not uncommon to find a page on bingo websites dedicated to revealing the sums that players have recently won playing its games. Canal Bingo has a Winners page but it reveals more than just sums and games. It actually has testimonials from players who have won vast sums of money on its site. For example, one player who scooped €176,000 explains “It wasn't even my favourite game but I had a hunch I'd win it and that's how it was. It hasn’t even sunk in yet.” Another who won €25,000 says “I'm still in shock. I just cannot believe this is happening to me.”

Banking at the Canal

There is a fair selection of deposit options available at Canal Bingo including Visa, MasterCard, Neteller, Entropay, Paysafecard and PayPal online payment service. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be a banking page that would enable visitors to determine more about deposits and withdrawals. The FAQ isn’t much help either as it only contains the answers to four questions. To find out more about deposits and withdrawals, you’d be advised to contact customer service by live chat, telephone or email.

Canal’s Bonuses

If you’re based in Spain and are thus eligible to play at Canal Bingo, there are all kinds of bonuses and promotions to avail yourself of. For example, refer a friend to the site and you'll receive €20 in bonus cash. There is also cashback of €10 to be claimed on specific casino games. If you'd like to win some serious money at Canal Bingo, take part in one of its special challenge competitions. For example, deposit €10 to play selected games during a promotional period and you’ll be entered into a draw to win up to €5,000 in cash.

It's not just money that Canal Bingo are offering players – they're also offering them a chance of fame. That's right, thanks to Canal Bingo you can be famous for a day. Email the site or call the telephone number provided to indicate your willingness to participate in this promotion and you could win €1,000 playing bingo games before embracing your 15 minutes of fame.

Bingo Titles

The bingo games that are available on the site have some interesting names such as Super Bingo and Bingote, which features a bingo ball with a moustache. There is also Rapi Bingo which is a very quick bingo game. In addition there is Bono Bingo which is a special bonus game and 80-ball bingo. Tickets usually cost just a few cents each, except for the big jackpot games when you’ll typically pay €1. You can buy multiple tickets for a single game if you’d like to boost your chances of winning.

Canal’s Range of Slots

There is an extensive selection of slots to be played at a Canal Bingo. Games have names such as Rainbow Riches, Wonderland, Cleopatra, Mediaeval Money and Golden Knight. There are also some branded slots such as Family Guy. Some of the slots have progressive jackpots with prizes of over €10,000. All told, the slots at Canal Bingo are far better than those you’ll find at many other bingo sites, and are possibly worth signing up for on their own.

Casino Games

There is a pretty good casino to be found at Canal Bingo, one that elevates this site to more than simply being just another place to play bingo. In the casino you will find a few card games such as blackjack including Multi Hand Blackjack as well as roulette. There is also a simple card-based game called Major Minor. A separate category dedicated to video poker includes Spanish variations of these games such as Double Bonus – or Bono Doble as it’s called – and Aces and Faces – or Ases y Caras in Spanish. Canal Bingo has a selection of mini games and scratch games too including Crazy Fruits, Gold Rush and Jewelled Hypercash.

Canal Conclusion

If you’re a bingo or casino player based in Spain, Canal Bingo is a great site to play at. Everything you could conceivably need is here; jackpot bingo games, slots, blackjack and roulette. There are some very high progressive jackpots to be won, some numbering into the tens of thousands of Euros. The site also has a proper community vibe to it.

Canal Bingo have made a concerted effort to create a social bingo hub, a place where new players will feel welcome and will want to chat and have fun as well as competing for the actual prizes at stake. The promotions page of the site is a tad scattershot and could do with being better organised. There are certainly some promotions here; it's just that you have to look hard to find them. In almost every other respect though Canal Bingo earns pass marks and commendation.
