Get Minted Bingo Review

Get Minted Bingo is a site that looks like it was last updated around 2005. That’s probably because that was when it was majorly last updated, the same year it was founded. The web’s come a long way since the mid-aughts, except for at Get Minted Bingo, where it’s stayed exactly the same. The site provides an interesting snapshot of the way the web used to be, but it’s not much use for anything other than curiosity value. Well, that’s possibly a bit harsh actually. You can certainly play bingo here, but why you would want to is another matter.

Although the operators of this site, Cassava Enterprises Ltd, have been extremely slow to do so, they have begun slowly shutting down some of their poorer performing bingo sites. You would expect, and indeed hope, that Get Minted Bingo would be on that kill list, but for now at least it remains alive (barely) as a going concern. It’s hard to imagine anyone willingly going out of their way to sign up here now, but it’s possible that Get Minted Bingo retains some legacy players from back when it was first formed, players who’ve stuck around and may be blissfully unaware that there are other, more functional, sites out there that would serve them better.

About Get Minted Bingo

Get Minted Bingo is operated by Cassava Enterprises Ltd, a company who have vast experience of operating sites of this nature. Their more recent sites, like Foxy Bingo, are slick, responsive and attractive looking sites at which to play bingo, slots and mini games. Then we have Get Minted Bingo, which is none of the above. At the time, over 15 years ago, this site would have been perfectly presentable and fit for purpose. The web has come on in leaps and bounds since then, and Get Minted Bingo has been left behind.

Cassava Enterprises are based in Gibraltar and are licensed and regulated by the Gibraltar Gambling Commissioner. They’re owned by the 888 group, who are a large gaming conglomerate, and it is their UK division which holds a gaming license issued by the Great Britain Gambling Commission. Virtual Digital Services Ltd, a sister company, are licensed to offer the games on this site to players based in the EU.

Banking Glides By

Given that modern Cassava Enterprises sites generally don’t see fit to include a banking page, you’ll be doing well to find one here. It’s cool though, cos in time-honoured Cassava Enterprises tradition, you’ll be able to see all the payment provider logos glide by in the footer of the homepage. Now all you got to do is join the dots and work out which ones are for deposits and which are for withdrawals. Choose from Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, Paysafecard, Neteller, Entropay and Maestro.

You won’t be able to use Paysafecard for withdrawals but you should be able to use cheque and bank transfer. There will be a 48-hour wait before funds are released. Once that’s done, the fastest you’ll get your money is within 2-3 days, via UK MasterCard, Neteller or PayPal online service. The minimum withdrawal amount is £30 and you may be asked to submit identification documents before your first withdrawal request is processed.

Get Minted’s Bonuses

As an older site, the bonuses available at Get Minted Bingo haven’t moved with the times and thus do not reflect the greater choice available to the modern day bingo player. Nowadays, you’d expect a welcome bonus of at least 300% to get you started, whereas here you’re offered a miserly 100% welcome bonus worth a maximum of £100. Sure, it’s better than nothing, but given that there are sites by the same company which offer bonuses four times greater, it makes much more sense to play at one of them.

The design of Get Minted Bingo is so dated, the image on the homepage used to promote the welcome bonus is actually pixelated. Meanwhile, text above it informs you that there is “No-Download Necessary”. Confusingly, while we’re critiquing the homepage, the first piece of text you read on the site is to inform you that “you must register a separate account to play Bingo. Your Get Minted login and password will not be valid”. What? And indeed, why? There is no promotions page at Get Minted Bingo incidentally, so the miserly welcome bonus is presumably all you get.

Timeless Bingo Options

The web might have changed vastly since 2005 but bingo hasn’t changed a whole lot. This means that you’ll be able to play the same bingo games as you’ll find at other Cassava Enterprises sites, even if it isn’t packaged nearly as nicely here. The two types of bingo that the operator of this site favours everywhere is 75-ball bingo and 90-ball bingo. These are the most popular versions of the game, both in the UK and North America, so it’s no surprise to see them here. Full playing guide are provided, for those are new to the delightful game of bingo.

There is also a third type of bingo available on the site, even if there are less games hosted on a daily and weekly basis. That game is High Five bingo, a game which offers five ways to win. Originally popularised in Scandinavia, High Five bingo lets players complete lines vertically, diagonally and horizontally. It, along with the 75-ball and 90-ball game, has its own progressive jackpot version in which there is some serious money to be won. If you’re wondering how a site that, to all intents and purposes, is dead can afford to offer such hefty jackpot prizes, the answer is because Get Minted Bingo is connected to a bingo network. This means that even if Get Minted Bingo has only one active player, they can still compete for the pooled prize money put up by all the bingo sites connected to this network.

Get Minted Conclusion

It’s fair to conclude that Get Minted Bingo isn’t going to pass this review or indeed any review with flying colours. The site’s failings are plain to see, as a casual glance at the homepage will reveal. There’s so much wrong with this site that there aren’t enough words in the world to list them all. It should be noted though that this site was once perfectly playable. All that’s changed really is the expectations of players and web users as a whole. Once you get used to a certain standard, it’s hard to go back to the way the web used to be.

Get Minted Bingo is a prime example of the way the web was, and it might have worked then but it doesn’t work now. The bingo games that can be played at Get Minted Bingo are fine enough but the means by which you go about accessing them isn’t even close to passable. It’s just too much hard work to attempt to plug in to a modern bingo network using an antiquated bingo site. There’s really nothing about Get Minted Bingo that would make you want to so much as fleetingly consider signing up here, so don’t waste your time.
