Dear Bingo Review

A Quick Look at Dear Bingo

The bingo selection at Dear Bingo is small compared to many sites and not the best we’ve seen. However, if you’re just looking for some light-hearted entertainment, there are plenty of first-class slots here on offer too, all complimented with extra rewards and prizes. Our Dear Bingo review has it all.

Bonuses & Promotions

The Welcome Offer

• 1^st deposit bonus: A spin on the Mega Wheel which has different prizes for a £10 deposit
• Wagering requirements: 65x winnings from the wheel

New players at Dear Bingo can get all warmed up with a pleasant surprise. With a deposit of £10 or more, you get a spin on the Mega Wheel, which is a wheel of fortune that’s laden with all sorts of goodies like 500 bonus spins for Fluffy Favourites and Amazon shopping vouchers. If you do get the spins winnings are capped at £8 per 10 spins and they come with a wagering requirement of 65x.
This welcome bonus is a bit different from the usual bingo tickets or matching deposit offers where you go in knowing exactly what you will get, but we like how this little element of surprise adds more game to the whole gaming experience!

Games & Software

• Software providers: 15
• No of Bingo Games: 5

While technically Dear Bingo has 90 ball and 75 ball games, the number of bingo games at Dear Bingo is relatively small. During the day there is the Lucky Stars room which has tickets beginning at just 1p. In the evening, the Free bingo rooms open and you’ll see more players. Then there are the Fair and Square, and the Payday Jackpot games, which are weekly and monthly specials.

We have to say, the bingo situation here could be improved; however, there are plenty of super exciting slots to check out if that’s your cup of tea.

Slots & Casinos at Dear Bingo

• Type of Games: Slots, Progressive Jackpots
• Games: Video Slots, Jackpot Slots, Fruit Machines, Animal and mythology themed games

While we were a bit disappointed with the bingo at Dear Bingo, we have to say that there are 450+ slots here, coming from a range of developers. All sorts of different themes and styles available and there’s still much fun to be had!

How to Deposit & Cash Out

Depositing

Dear Bingo UK works with a variety of popular payment methods like Paysafe, Paypal, as well as debit cards and Pay by Mobile. The minimum amount for deposits is £10.

Cashing out

When it comes to cash out, Dear Bingo is less of a darling. No minimum withdrawal amount, but all withdrawals are subject to a £2.50 transaction fee. The withdrawal process has a 72 hour waiting period, which although not too far off from the average still falls on the slow side of things. This is not a deal breaker, but there is certainly room for improvement.

Community & Customer Service

The Community

For a bingo site, we have to say the social aspect at Dear Bingo is rather lacking. While these are technically bingo rooms, the chat is not flowing yet. During the monthly jackpot bingo games, it’s more lively, but during the day the bingo rooms are far from buzzing. There is always a game happening every few minutes, so jump in any time.

The site does have a Facebook page. It was set up fairly recently so there isn’t a whole lot of action there yet, but you will find them posting about their special offers there. Alternatively, just check your inbox for their newsletter.

Customer Service

This is a site with a limited selection when it comes to customer contact. You can email them at [email protected] and they will respond within 48 hours.

Take Dear Bingo with You

Dear Bingo Mobile requires no download. The site was built on HTML 5 and all you need to do is go to their website from your phone or tablet’s web browser. Chrome or Safari will both work beautifully. Since it’s a website, it works across all devices and platforms, whether you’re on an iPhone, Android or Windows phone.

It’s easy to find your way around the mobile site’s design which has a Menu button in the top left corner, from which you can switch to various parts of the site. The offerings are the same as the desktop site. Everything loads smoothly enough.

Our take on Dear Bingo

Dear Bingo gets a 3.5 star rating from our team. The online bingo selection needs improvement and this looks like more of a slot site that has a few bingo games on the side, rather than a bingo site with a few reels as side games. If you’re more of a slot player who enjoys daubing numbers once in a while, Dear Bingo will do the trick just fine, but if you’re passionate about bingo then we think there are definitely better choices you can make. Are we being too harsh? Probably a bit, because despite the lack of bingo the site admittedly does have an awesome collection of slots. If you’re curious then take a look and make your own judgement!

Have your say!

If you’ve played at Dear Bingo, this is the place to tell the world what you thought about it!
