Sola Bingo Review

Sola Bingo is a bright orange and yellow website. As bright as the sun it's modelled on in fact. In fact you might need to slip on some sunglasses before playing here simply to lower the glare. In keeping with its theme, Sola Bingo invites players to shade their eyes and get ready for some epic bingo games.

You might be wondering what sunshine has even got to do with bingo since one of these things involve sitting indoors staring at a screen whereas the other involves doing, well, anything other than playing bingo. The answer, in case you're wondering, is that every bingo site has to have some kind of theme and Sola Bingo’s is inspired by that big yellow orb in the sky. The site describes itself as “the only bingo website that is also a massive burning ball of gas”. It is safe to say that in that respect it is absolutely correct.

About Sola Bingo

Sola Bingo is operated by Cozy Games Management Limited, a company who are based on the Isle of Man. They've been in business since 2005 and in that period have built up a complete portfolio of bingo sites that are targeted at UK players. This means that players can sign up at Sola Bingo safe in the knowledge that they are dealing with an experienced operator who are likely to be around for the foreseeable.

Sola Bingo have over 35 games over and above bingo, primarily slots but also some scratch cards and mini games. There is also a modestly equipped casino where you can play the likes of roulette and blackjack. There is a range of convenient deposit methods, and there is the surety that comes from knowing all games on the site have been independently tested to ensure that honest payouts and fair play is ensured.

Banking at Sola

It's easy to make a deposit at Sola Bingo once you’ve created a playing account. Select the amount you wish to deposit and use your preferred method, be it credit card, debit card, Paysafecard, Skrill or Neteller. The site accept such cards as Visa, MasterCard, Maestro, Switch and Solo. The minimum deposit amount is £10.

When it comes to withdrawals, your request will take two to three working days to be processed. After that it shouldn't take long for funds to show up in your account. It is worth noting however that the first time you make a withdrawal request you may be asked to submit identification documents such as a photocopy of your card.

Register and Go

There is a £10 no deposit bonus when you sign up at Sola Bingo simply for registering your card. After that you’ll be entitled to a 500% first deposit bonus. All bonus cash is subject to a 4x wagering requirement for bingo games and 10x for slots. In addition, every time you make a deposit at the site you’ll be rewarded with bonus cash. For example, deposit between £5 and £25 to claim 25% in casino cash. When it gets to the stage where you’re depositing over £100, Sola Bingo will double your money with a 100% bonus.

Free bingo is an integral part of the site. In fact, you can claim 10 free tickets for every free bingo game that is hosted on the site. These games have a fixed pot of £4 and there are five of them hosted every hour of the day and night. Sola Bingo also operates chat games which, just like free bingo, are more focused on the experience rather than the reward. With these games you can win a maximum of 200% of the value of your last deposit.

Attractive Bingo

The bingo lobby at Sola Bingo is attractively designed, with a series of large bingo balls used to denote the different types of games. These have names such as Night Owls, City Hall, Buckingham Palace and Victoria 90. Tickets cost 5p on average, rising to 10p for the larger jackpot games. In the case of games such as Down Town, there is a £2,000 jackpot to be won. Sola Bingo also operates a free bingo tournament. Very little information is provided about how exactly this works, but there appears to be special prizes for taking part in this tournament and ranking in the top ten.

Presuming you've played bingo before, the games available at Sola Bingo should present no problem. If you need to learn more however there is a complete playing guide available on the website. All of the bingo games are designed to work on mobile as well as on desktop devices. A couple of the pages on the website are blank at the present incidentally. It looks as if Sola Bingo is still a work in progress having by the looks of it been established in 2017. If so, it seems reasonable to assume that names and other information will be added to the leaderboard page in future, which is currently one of the broken pages.

Sola’s Slots

Like the bingo lobby, the games lobby at Sola Bingo is attractively designed. In fact it looks better than the games themselves, whose graphics really aren't the greatest. Yeah, you can certainly win money playing Treasures of Egypt, Big Ben, Lucky Clover and Arabian Nights, but don't expect to be dazzled by the graphics or gameplay.

On the plus side, these games can be played in demo mode if you're simply looking to have some fun rather than risk your own money. While the slots at Sola Bingo are unlikely to attract devoted players, they should appeal to casual bingo players who are simply looking for an alternative every now and then. There are also scratch cards available on the site, which have names such as Cold Cash, Diamond Dreams, Go Bananas and Happy Hour. There is little to no learning curve with these games; simply click, spin and hopefully win.

The Future’s Orange

Sola Bingo is a new offering from Cozy Games Management and it's got a few things in its favour. The site, which is targeted at British and Swedish players, uses large icons, typography and images of bingo balls. All of these elements ensure that the site is easy to browse on mobile and tablet. The lurid orange theme should work for players who are partially sighted if nothing else.

The welcome bonuses available at the site are very good, as is the range of deposit options. Customer support is capable, with live chat probably the simplest way of getting hold of a member of the team. The slots aren't the greatest, but then they never are at Cozy Games Management sites. If nothing else, at least there is a small selection of games that can be played, complemented by a range of scratch cards. There doesn't appear to be a casino here but this isn't a deal breaker, for the bingo side of things more than atones for this.
