Celeb Bingo Review    

The latest gossip, misbehaviour, drama and bonuses are all to be had at Celeb Bingo. The entertaining site has been designed to look like newspaper – think The Sun or possibly The Mirror. It's a fun kind of place, one that wallows in its trashiness and wears its tackiness as a badge of pride. A narrow site design leaves space for the background, rendered in black and white, to display press stories about celebrity antics with a tenuous bingo link.

Elsewhere, a list of winners reveals the amount of money that can be won playing at the site. There is a promotion that includes a 150% games bonus, and as you scroll down the homepage you will find other information boxes laid out as if they were stories in a tabloid newspaper.

About Celeb Bingo

Celeb Bingo is a simple but fun concept for a bingo website. Cassava Enterprises Limited are the company behind it. Amusingly, the text box on the homepage designed to welcome players to Celeb Bingo is the wrong one. The operators of this site have included the text from one of their other bingo sites, a site called Bingo Ballroom. This shows just how generic and insipid these sites are. If even the owners of this site can't differentiate this one from their various other sites, what hope is there for players being able to do so? Ignore the incitement here to enjoy the rhythm and excitement at Bingo Ballroom and the sweet beats of rhumba and the tango that will liven up every game.

Yes, it does say that, but no, this is not the site they’re talking about. This is Celeb Bingo where, to hazard a guess, you can catch all the latest A-list news and celebrity antics while helping yourself to sweet bingo bonuses. You're welcome, Cassava Enterprises. The company who run the site as a whole are the 888 group, a global gaming powerhouse. The site has a licence issued by the Great Britain Gaming Commission and all of the games that Celeb Bingo offer have been independently tested and audited to ensure fair play and honest payouts. If you need to get hold of customer support, you can do so, although the site appears to have hidden this information away. It is likely that live chat and email are your options though this cannot be confirmed.

How Celebs Bank

Celeb Bingo doesn't directly confirm the deposit options available for using the site, but it does reveal the withdrawal options. From these you can deduce what your deposit options are. These comprise credit or debit card including MasterCard, as well as cheque, Neteller, wire transfer and PayPal. Withdrawal requests take 48 hours to be processed followed by two to three days for PayPal, Neteller or MasterCard to clear. Other credit cards and wire transfer will take considerably longer.

The payment provider will be displayed as Cassava Enterprises Ltd on your statement. The site does not specify whether there is a minimum withdrawal amount. You may be required to submit identification documents before your first withdrawal request is processed incidentally.

Celeb Style Bonuses

When you deposit £10 at Celeb Bingo you will be given a total of £45 to play with. This comprises a 200% bingo bonus and a 150% games bonus. The minimum deposit you can use to claim this 350% offer stands at £5 and the maximum amount you can claim is a £120 bonus. There is a 4x wagering requirement for the bingo bonus and apparently an 80x wagering requirement for the games bonus.

The remaining promotions that Celeb Bingo advertises are the generic ones that can be found at all Cassava Enterprises sites. They include the likes of Happy Hour on Monday which operates from 4pm to 6pm and a loyalty scheme which provides the chance to earn points on every deposit you make. These points can be exchanged for bonus cash and bingo tickets. There are also various featured bingo games with additional prizes such as Weekender, where there is over £700 up for grabs, and Grab a Grand, a £1,000 jackpot hosted on the 15th of every month.

A Trio of Bingo

There are three types of bingo to be played at Celeb Bingo: 90, 75-ball and High Five bingo. The former two should be familiar to you, but for the record players must complete rows of numbers on a grid – up to three lines in the case of 90-ball bingo. There are even more ways to win when you're playing High Five bingo, five to be precise, funnily enough.

Celeb Bingo has a range of games to suit everybody. There are coverall games where there is a guaranteed jackpot of up to £500 and there are progressive jackpot games where the value of the prize at stake keeps on growing until one lucky player wins the lot. Tickets for these games cost between 1p and £1. Look out for featured games and special bingo promotions that will give players the chance to enjoy additional bonuses and extra rewards. There are also chat games which provide more of a social element.

Other Games

When you have had your fill of bingo, don't head away from Celeb Bingo just yet. Look out for some slots and other games that are waiting to be played. Some of these are pretty good too, even if they are predictably the same games as you will find at all other Cassava Enterprises sites. Still, it’s hard to find faults with hugely popular games such as Jack and the Beanstalk, Wizard of Oz and Gonzo’s Quest. There are also a couple of branded games including the X Factor slot and Bruce Lee 2. There are probably some mini games and scratch cards too just to round things off and, like the slots, they should work on mobile devices as well as on tablet and desktop.

Tabloid Fun

Celeb Bingo is a pretty good concept for a site, and the design certainly looks the part. The decision to emulate a trashy tabloid newspaper is a clever one and it gives the site some personality. However, some of this hard work is undone by the operators of the site suffering a complete fail with the About section on the homepage. While it is easy to make a mistake when designing a website, the fact that they have provided text for an entirely different website altogether gives you some indication of the haste with which Cassava Enterprises throw these sites together.

Given that the company appear more concerned with churning out bingo sites as quick as possible, you may be entitled to conclude that they have little interest in maintaining their existing sites and are more concerned with maximising revenue rather than delivering good customer support and creating a vibrant bingo community. Still, Celeb Bingo is a reasonably functional site and if you choose to play here, you should be able to enjoy yourself, whether trying the slots or bingo games.
