Brown Cow Bingo Review

How now, Brown Cow Bingo. What’s going on here then? Apart from bingo obviously. Let’s see, we’ve got slots, table games, progressive jackpots and promotions galore. We’ve also got Bev, the brown cow who fronts the site and possesses a plethora of shockingly bad bovine puns she can’t wait to inflict upon you.

Brown Cow Bingo will give you a “moo-sive double whammy welcome offer”. Feel free to groan and grimace; it would be fair to say that the site’s pun game could use some work.

Still, don’t be cowed by the substandard wordplay, for there are some udderly great reasons to sign up at Brown Cow Bingo. Just wait till you catch sight of the bonuses displayed on the homepage slider, which whip pasteurise at a rate of knots. Yeah, you might need to read that sentence a couple of times to appreciate just how a-moo-sing it is. For the record, that’s how you deploy a moo pun, Brown Cow Bingo. But let’s not milk it. Forget about the Friesians – we’re here to talk about the free spins.

About Brown Cow Bingo

Brown Cow Bingo is operated by Cassava Enterprises Ltd, a company with some experience of bingo and casino websites. They’ve got scores of similar sites to their name, each of which has similar games, promotions and payment methods. Thematically, the firm’s bingo sites tend to be hit and miss, but Brown Cow Bingo is a firm hit – the concept and delivery are top-notch, save for the preponderance of poor puns. 888 UK Ltd take care of the site’s UK operations, and are the holders of a license issued by the Great Britain Gambling Commission.

Virtual Digital Services Ltd take care of the site’s European operations, with all of these companies falling under the umbrella of a plc known as the 888 group, who are listed on the London Stock Exchange. The brand behind the Brown Cow Bingo name are 8Ball Games Ltd, a company who are based in Manchester.

All of the games to be found on the site have been independently verified to ensure fair play and honest payouts. For customers who require assistance, a freephone number is provided along with an email address. There’s also an FAQ that’s well written and comprehensive.

Banking Page?

There’s not a banking page you can view before deciding whether or not to sign up which is a shame. However, based on the logos which scroll across the footer of the site, it’s possible to ascertain the deposit and withdrawal options that are available. Credit and debit card come first; you can top up with Visa, Maestro and MasterCard, online and possibly by phone too, seeing how you can at the Cassava Enterprises websites that actually bother to provide a banking page.

The other payment options available are PayPal, Paysafecard, Entropay, Neteller and bank transfer. The minimum withdrawal amount is £30 (though this is again guessed based on Brown Cow Bingo’s sister sites) and there’s likely to be a 48-hour wait before withdrawal requests are processed. You’d think that a company with experience of setting up dozens of online casinos would learn to replicate essential features such as a banking page, but Cassava Enterprises don’t do things by the book.

Bonus Cash

Sign up at Brown Cow Bingo and you’ll receive £35 in bonus cash with your first deposit. This works out as £30 of bingo cash and a £5 slots bonus. Thereafter, the promotions to be enjoyed at the site are the same generic ones that Brown Cow Bingo’s owners use everywhere on the web. That said, there’s the odd seasonal bonus thrown in to brighten things up; such promos are publicised in Bev’s Blog, the section of the site ghost written by the loveable brown cow herself.

Of the various bingo promotions available, some of the most enticing include Happy Hour, held from 4pm-6pm on Mondays, with double points in selected games and a 100% deposit bonus up to £100. Free spins can be won in the site’s Spin-Tastic promotion and Weekender sees players share a prize pot of £700. Each night, up to £100 is given away in the Late Night Show, a 1am game that’s open to just 50 players, and then there’s Lazy Sunday, when free bingo and cheap tickets are the order of the day.

Three Types of Bingo

There are 3 types of bingo to be played at Brown Cow Bingo: 90-ball, 75-ball and High 5 Bingo. The latter, a version that originated in Sweden, gives players 5 ways to win, with lines running horizontally, vertically and diagonally. The 75 and 90-ball versions are the more traditional bingo games, but there’s scope for plenty of creativity within the confines of each game, especially when you’re playing the pattern version of 75-ball bingo. This allows players to complete predetermined shapes.

Complete playing guides to all 3 types of bingo can be found on the site. Once you’re feeling confident and clued up, head on over to the bingo lobby and get stuck in. Games are scheduled right around the clock, so you won’t have to wait long before a game commences. Purchase your tickets then sit back and wait for your numbers to come in. Thanks to the site’s chat facility, you can converse with your fellow players while you wait, adding a welcome sociable aspect to the games, despite the fact that you’re technically playing alone.

Slots and Other Games

When you find yourself desiring some respite from the bingo, check out the games lobby that’s populated with slots of all kinds. The quality of the games here can’t be faulted; titles such as Starburst, Jack and the Beanstalk and Gonzo’s Quest boast some of the sharpest graphics and greatest gameplay to be found on the market. Bev recommends her favourite slots and, not surprisingly, the brown cow is biased towards the farmyard games, going out of her way to big up Party Pigs, Horsing About and Piggy Payout.

One of the neatest things about Brown Cow Bingo is that it displays the number of players currently online. This figure will typically number into the high hundreds or low thousands. While it’s impossible to tell what games these visitors are playing, it’s safe to assume that a good proportion are playing the slots and instant win games. There is a selection of scratch cards to be played which nicely complement the range of slots.

How Now, Brown Cow?

Brown Cow Bingo is a quirky and fun site to play at. Its farmyard theme is impossible to dislike, even if the bovine puns swiftly tire. If there’s one improvement that the site is crying out for, it’s to up its pun game. Thankfully the important stuff – promotions, payment options, games – scores highly. The range of bingo games is extensive and caters to all tastes and budgets, while the slots are also excellent. It’s a shame Brown Cow Bingo doesn’t specify whether there are other games too such as table games; there may be, but it’s impossible to tell without signing up. What there is on display to the casual visitor though looks very good indeed.
