Glossy Bingo

Glossy Bingo is one of many sites operated by the Broadway Gaming group, a network that includes Wink Bingo, Butlers Bingo, and countless other sites I have reviewed in the past. I have given these sites mixed reviews in the past—most end up with average scores, but a few break the mould and get top marks. So, where does Glossy Bingo fit into all of that?

Welcome Bonus

You must deposit at least £10 to get a piece of the Glossy Bingo welcome bonus, which promises to match your deposit by 100% up to a maximum of £100. It’s one of the better Broadway Gaming welcome offers I have encountered in recent months, and it comes with the usual 35x wagering requirement for the games bonus. The major downside to this bonus is that you can only collect it using a debit card. All other payment methods are excluded. You also have just 2 days to use your bonus funds, so make sure you’re ready to collect, play, and burn through the wagering requirements when you deposit. As always, check the terms and conditions before collecting the bonus, as these terms are subject to change.

Loyalty Promotions

Glossy Bingo is loaded with loyalty offers, and these are available for the site’s slots and bingo games. The exact bonuses may change, but at the time of writing, they include:

• Golden Monday: Free spins on the 9 Pots of Gold slot when you deposit £20 or more.
• Wheel of Spin: Every Wednesday, you can spin a prize wheel full of free spin rewards when you deposit £20 or more.
• Jackpot Games: All players are invited to participate in fixed jackpot and progressive jackpot bingo rooms, including the JPGOT2GO promotion, which has a £1,000 guaranteed jackpot. There is also a mini version of this promotion with a £100 jackpot.

The site has its own loyalty program, known as Glossy Rewards. It’s a 5-tier program, and all players start at level 1. You earn points when you play, and these determine your level and rewards.

Bingo Games and Slots

Glossy Bingo has an excellent selection of bingo rooms spanning 90-ball, 75-ball, and 52-ball variants. New games begin every couple of minutes or so, and the ticket prices start at just a few pence. Many of these games have very modest prize pools, as they are dependent on a lot of players joining, but there are jackpots worth hundreds and even thousands. You will win these if you get a full house within a specified number of balls. If you’re looking for big games, check for the next Heavy Weight or Super Heavy Weight. They are not as frequent as some of the other games, but the prizes tend to be much higher and there are many more players. In addition to the bingo rooms, Glossy Bingo has a few hundred slots and virtual scratchcards. Most of these come from the classic Microgaming (now Games Global) catalogue, so you may have seen and played most of them before. There are new titles sprinkled in, though, and I found a few games I had never seen before. Everything works on both desktop and mobile and as it uses instant play technology, you don’t need to download anything. I would have liked to see more games and more variety with regards to the providers, but it’s mainly a bingo site, so slots clearly aren’t the main focus.

Glossy Bingo Reviews

User reviews are a great way to check the legitimacy of a bingo site, but they aren’t always easy to find. You also have to know how to sort the wheat from the chaff, as most players leave bad reviews when they hit losing streaks or when they misread the terms and miss out on a bonus. Fortunately, Glossy Bingo has an active Trustpilot page. There are 669 reviews at the time of writing and it holds an impressive 4.3 score. Furthermore, the bad reviews tend to nitpick about bonus issues, and didn’t really raise any alarms for me. Glossy Bingo does a good job of responding to these reviews and trying to fix issues that can actually be fixed. Sometimes, casinos respond with petulance. Other times they don't respond at all. It’s refreshing to see a gambling site that actually addresses customer issues, and that could be a key reason its score is so high.

Verdict: Glossy Bingo Review

Glossy Bingo has a lot going for it, and I can see why it was reviewed so highly. The support staff have a great reputation, and you can contact them via live chat. The site accepts numerous payment options, including Visa, Mastercard, and PayPal, but you can only use debit cards when collecting the welcome bonus. The bingo selection and loyalty offers are both fantastic, and there’s always an event or giveaway to join, not to mention countless jackpots to play for. It’s lacking in some areas, including its slot selection, but it’s an excellent site overall. [publishpress_authors_box layout="ppma_boxes_9936" user_id="4"]
