Loony Bingo

Loony Bingo is a Broadway Gaming-owned site with an apparent “loony” theme, by which I mean it is mildly eccentric. I was expecting something more like my Uncle Simon, who drinks pickle juice, wears Bermuda shorts in all weather, and once did unspeakable things to the Christmas turkey. What I got was more like my Aunt Susan, who proudly proclaimed she was “bonkers” because she had evaporated milk in her coffee and not green-top.

But it’s a casino theme, and they have a habit of being half-arsed, so I’ll give them a pass.

Welcome Offer

The promotional image on the Loony Bingo website promises that you can “add £10 and play with £40”. It will even give you 40 free spins. So, what’s the catch?

Well, there are a few, but nothing that you wouldn’t expect.

The minimum deposit is £10, which is standard. Once you deposit £10 or more, your cash will be boosted with 300% in bingo credits. The first downside is the £30 cap, so while 300% sounds like a huge amount, it really only applies to that initial £10.

The wagering requirement for these credits is fixed at 4x, so you’ll have to wager £120 before you can convert them into cash and make a withdrawal.

As for the free spins, they are dished out in two batches of 20, one for use on Fluffy Favourites and the other for Starburst. All winnings accumulated via these spins are subject to a 35x wagering requirement.

There is a £100 winnings cap for the entire bonus and while your winnings can’t be withdrawn during the wagering period, you can withdraw your initial deposit amount at any time.

Other Promotions

The welcome bonus is just a small part of what Loony Bingo has to offer in the promotion department. You can accumulate all kinds of offers just by keeping the deposits and wagers flowing. It’s an area in which the site’s operators excel, as evidenced by the countless other highly rated casinos and bingo sites they have produced.

Check out the promotions page to see all active offers for yourself. At the time of writing, there are small free spin and reload promotions available for weekday players as well as occasional giveaways. They are mostly temporary though, along with some big seasonal offers, so drop by on a regular basis.

Bingo Games and More

Loony Bingo doesn’t have the largest selection of games. At a time when casinos are offering over 1,000, 2,000, and even 5,000 games, it has kept things simple with around 500 titles. However, all of the classics are here and you should find your favourites. New slots are also added frequently.

If you’ve been around this industry for a long time, you might be a little bored of the selection (there are only so many times you can play Starburst, Gonzo’s Quest, and Fluffy Favourites), but most players will be content with what’s on offer.

The bingo games are a little more unique and eye-catching. There are 75-ball and 90-ball variants, with games ranging from just 1p per ticket. These games run every minute or so and the layout is neat and ordered, making it easy to find games within your range. Loony Bingo connects to a massive bingo network as well, so while the site itself isn’t big, the network is, making for some notable prizes.

Deposits, Withdrawals, and Customer Support

The minimum deposit on Loony Bingo is £10 and the site accepts PayPal, Apple Pay, and debit cards.  Email support and live chat options are also available, although I would recommend against the former, as they are not always as quick or responsive as they should be (in my experience).The minimum withdrawal is just £5, and this applies across all of the site’s banking options. You won’t be charged for withdrawals and you should get your funds within a couple of days.

Loony Bingo Review Summary

The word “loony” comes from “lunatic”, which itself comes from “lunar” and the belief that the phases of the moon caused madness. Why is this fact important? Well, it’s not, but it helps to liven up what is otherwise a generic theme.

That is ultimately my biggest issue with these sites, and many others out there. They look okay, they have great games, and there are usually lots of promotions to collect. But they lack a distinct identity, something that truly makes them stand out from the crowd. Foxy Bingo has one and Wink Bingo has one. Even bet365 has a clear and unique identity, proving that it’s not all about zany themes and amusing mascots.

Loony Bingo is lacking in that department. 

Still, it ticks a lot of boxes, and with those things considered, it’s hard to rate this casino less than 4/5.
