Fairground Bingo Review

Take it back to your childhood as you pay a visit to the fairground complete with aromas of candy floss, toffee apples and sugar doughnuts as you play at Fairground Bingo. You can’t actually inhale these heavenly aromas here – you’ll need to use your imagination for that – but the site sets things up nicely with a theme that successfully captures the trappings and nostalgia of a fairground adventure.

A hot air balloon hovers off to one side on the homepage along with a ferris wheel that looms large in the background. Rendered in a tasteful shade of light pink, Fairground Bingo is decked out to attract a female demographic primarily, for women tend to be more into bingo than men. In every other sphere of gambling, men – the primary risk-takers – dominate, but not here. Bingo isn’t just for women, but it certainly appeals to women far more than it does to men.

About Fairground Bingo

Fairground Bingo is operated by Cassava Enterprises Limited, a Gibraltar based company who are on a mission to buy up every possible bingo-related domain and turn it into another cloned bingo site. It’s hard to tell how many bingo sites they operate, but the figure probably runs into the hundreds. 888 UK Limited, the owners of Cassava Enterprises, hold a license issued by the Great Britain Gambling Commission.

This is a requisite in order for Fairground Bingo to be licensed to accept deposits from British customers. Virtual Digital Services Limited are in charge of serving the needs of EU customers wishing to play at the site. All of the games on the site have been independently tested to ensure fair play and honest payouts. 8Ball Games Ltd are listed as the owners of the Fairground Bingo brand. They’re based in Manchester, England. If you’d like to get hold of a member of the Fairground Bingo team, customer support extends to email, live chat and a freephone number.

Fair Banking Choice

Fairground Bingo accepts a reasonable number of deposit options including credit and debit card such as Visa or MasterCard, cheque, Neteller, PayPal and wire transfer. There’s also Entropay, judging by the logos displayed in the site’s footer. For some reason, one thing Fairground Bingo doesn’t have on its site is a banking page. It’s possible to deduce the available payment and withdrawal options however with a little help from the FAQ.

Withdrawal requests take 48 hours to be processed. After that, expect to have to wait an average of 2-5 days for funds to show up on your card. It’s a similar wait for PayPal to clear, while cheque and wire transfer will take considerable longer – up to 10 days in fact. You may be required to submit identification documents before your withdrawal request is processed. This could include a copy of your credit or debit card and a copy of your photographic ID.

Bonuses on Site

Make your first deposit at Fairground Bingo and you’ll be rewarded with a 250% bonus. Deposit £10 in other words and you’ll wind up with £35 to play with. You’ll also be granted a week’s free bingo in a special bingo room that’s reserved for new players. The maximum deposit you can make whilst claiming the casino bonus is £100. Once you’ve become a fully fledged member of the site, there are weekly promotions and other bonuses available on a seasonal basis.

Refer a friend to receive £10 when they make their first deposit. Then there’s the prospect of winning a share of two million loyalty points, a sum that is dispensed to 40 winners every month in The 2 Million Race. This promotion is shared among many of Cassava Enterprises’ other sites, so you’ll be competing against thousands or possibly tens of thousands of other players. As for seasonal promotions, these naturally vary but you can typically expect to receive free spins on slots, bonus cash, deposit matches and mystery prizes, the exact nature of which will be revealed to you by email

Become a Winner

In its quest to entice new prospects into signing up, Fairground Bingo has dedicated an entire page to publicising its winners. The detailed stats it supplies make for interesting reading. For example the amount won on the site in a single day can typically average around £800,000. There’s a section dedicated to lauding the success of lucky new players, who’ve succeeded in winning thousands of pounds during their first week on the site.

There’s a section to detailing the previous day’s biggest winners, some of whom will have won in excess of £5,000, a feat that would have been achieved playing progressive jackpot slots, not bingo. The day’s biggest bingo winners in comparison generally don’t receive anything greater than £150. The only exception is when there’s a big jackpot game. According to Fairground Bingo, its most popular game is 90-ball bingo, followed by several of the 75-ball pattern games.

Bingo Games

Tickets for the bingo games range in price from between 1p and £1, with prizes varying according to the number of players involved in each game. You can purchase multiple tickets for a single game if you would like to maximise your chances of success. There are all kinds of rooms to be found in the bingo lobby, among which Weekender is one of the more alluring as there’s over £700 to be dispensed in prizes every weekend. To enter, you’ll need to have deposited £50 in the past week.

Night owls should head to the Late Night Show, a room that comes alive at 1am, with £100 in prizes to be won. Other themed rooms include Saturday Night Fever, when there are bonuses, vouchers and free spins to be won and Lazy Sunday, which runs from 9am-11am on Sundays.

Bingo Respite

There’s more to Fairground Bingo than just bingo. Not an awful lot admittedly, but just enough to provide some respite from playing non-stop bingo. A handful of slots have been provided to entertain and potentially enrich you, just like the winners who took thousands from the site by playing its progressive jackpot games such as Fluffy Favourites. Many of the slots have three jackpots attached, with the top pot often exceeding £10,000. Other slots of note at Fairground Bingo are Millionaire Genie, Starburst and Zuma.

Fairground Conclusion

Fairground Bingo is another functional and cheerful site from Cassava Enterprises. It’s a cookie cutter site, so doesn’t offer anything new that you won’t have seen before, but it nevertheless functions well. There’s a few relevant pieces of information missing from the site including a banking page and detailed previews of its slots and other games. Aside from that however, there’s little that’s wrong with Fairground Bingo.

Whether playing bingo for progressive jackpot wins or simply for the pleasure to be derived from socialising with other players, there are games here that will appeal to you. The slots probably won’t distract you for long – there aren’t enough of them and they’re not exciting and immersive enough for that – but as a dedicated bingo site, Fairground Bingo performs admirably.
