You have the option of playing just two varieties of bingo here: with 90 and 75 balls. The lobby shows you where everything is, under separate tabs. Filter through the different options to find the room you want to play in. Play for free in one of the many free-to-enter bingo rooms, but make sure you read the room requirements properly as some of them are only open to players with funded accounts. If you want to play in the big jackpot rooms, you have to deposit. Plus, you can’t take part in the JP sessions using your bonus funds. VIP’s also get their own exclusive free play rooms, 4 in fact, and there they can win prizes between £1 and £150. Tickets can be purchased in advance, and that’s a good idea especially if you can’t make it to the special games. The ticket prices can be checked prior to making a purchase; they typically cost between 1p and £1.

If you like variety, the chat hosts do their best to keep you entertained whilst the normal draw is in progress. They frequently hold fun chat games to give players the chance of winning a little bonus or two. You have to have bought tickets for real cash in the rooms in order to collect your winnings at the chat games.

You will be able to enjoy much more than simply bingo here, as the provider gives you the chance to spin some of the top slots in the industry. Although the website is powered by Dragonfish, the portfolio contains titles developed by other companies. Here are some of the good examples: Kronos is an ancient Greek mythology themed slot, and Jack and the Beanstalk is based on the popular fairy tale of the same title. You will also play Startburst if you like, because it’s on offer. Should you have a soft spot for ancient Egypt, Cleopatra can be your game, or, why not, the Sands of Fortune. You will also see some of the branded games, such as X Factor or Bruce Lee. There are at least 15 to 20 unique titles that you’ll fall for, I’m sure. You should also go out of your ‘comfort zone’ and try some absolutely new games because that is how you find new favourites.

You are allowed to play side games in all the bingo rooms. They are always the same and can be found above the chat feature. The interface will let you maximise and minimise the so-called ‘mini-games lobby’ as you prefer. Click through the various titles in the scrolling reel feature, and choose the one you want to play. It will then open up and, if you haven’t done it already while choosing, this will minimise the chat feature. Fear not, you can still chat, spin the reels and play bingo at the same time.

Details of the Welcome Offer and Other Rewards

The provider doesn’t feature a super free gift for their new players, but the existing one, albeit deposit based, is good enough to get you started. You’ll read details in the dedicated box below, but let me tell you about the rewards and promotions that are within your reach after you join with real cash. You’ll be eligible to play in every room and take part in each hot deal which you like from the rich promo calendar. Dragonfish sites are famous for the regular jackpot games and for their huge prized monthly and weekly events. For instance, you can play to win £200,000 every month. Buying tickets into this game guarantees you a share of the prize pot. The top 3 prizes are shared as follows: 1 Line is £20,000, 2 Lines – £30,000, and Full House – £50,000. As for the remaining £100,000, it will be shared among everyone else who has bought in to this game.

But why not share with you a daily deli? Every day, between 12pm and 3pm, make sure you head to the ‘Pennies Make Pounds’ room because there are prize pools of up to £30 to be won for just 1p or 2p a ticket. And what if you like spinning the reels just as much as you love daubing your cards? In that case, the Spin-tastic promotion is your fix. It takes place from Sunday through to Thursday at 9pm. In this nice crossover, you’ll play bingo to win cash prizes and free spins on popular slot games. You’ll be pleased to see that even players with 1TG and 2TG tickets will receive prizes. Here’s the breakdown: the 1 Line winner or winners will get 20 free spins, the player or players who win 2 Lines get 50 free spins, the Full House winner will have 100 free spins to use, and players waiting on 2TG and 1TG get 5 and 10 free spins, respectively. In case of more than one winner, the number of free spins will be split between them in equal parts, except for the free spins for 1TG and 2TG, in which case each player will receive the stated number. Loyalty bonuses and cashback are also available. Your status depends on your total deposit levels, and it qualifies you for various perks, such as daily free games with real prizes, and free tickets to special big pot games.

Mobile Players Rejoice! All the Facts Revealed

Play on your mobile or tablet device, wherever and whenever you want to – because Hippo Bingo has gone mobile. Whether you have an iPhone, iPad or an Android-powered handheld unit, you will join and enjoy as long as you have a good internet connection. Open your mobile browser and any link you see on this page will guarantee you landing on the nice welcome bonus. When you open the site, you’ll be met with a suggestion to add the web-based app to your home screen. Once you’ve allowed this, you’ll be able to access the site even more easily and quickly next time. Log in with your existing details or, if you’re a new player, you’ll need to register.

You can deposit into your account to claim the 200% welcome bonus. The mobile site also allows you to cash out. Click your bank balance at the top of your screen and choose the ‘withdraw’ option. Your personal details, bank balance and payment methods all remain the same as on the desktop version of the brand.

There’s no reason not to play both bingo varieties that the site offers, as they are available on the go. The lobby shows you the rooms you can enter; they have been slightly scaled back. You can still get access to a great range of special games, such as free bingo and the VIP exclusive sessions via the web app. Most of the promotions, sessions, jackpots and prizes remain the same – the only thing that changes is the fact that you have chosen to play on the mobile instead of a desktop. Whenever there is a bonus for a title that hasn’t been developed for mobile, you’ll have the chance to use it once you’ve logged in on your PC or laptop.

The lobby also allows you to play an even bigger selection of games. Choose either slots or casino games and they’ll open to fill your screen (in landscape mode).

What Variety of Payment Methods Is Available?

You can fund and withdraw from your account using a variety of payment methods; all are listed below. As you see, the major card services are accepted. Of course, you’ll remember that Maestro debit card is acceptable for deposits only. At the same time, your Visa Debit will do the trick for you in both payments. That is, if you prefer to stick with debit cards. But, should you want to avoid giving your card details to the operator, there is a number of other options. For one, you can try the EntroPay service which is a virtual Visa and can be loaded by any debit card. There is also PaysafeCard on the list, and that is a fine method for funding your account. However, you’ll need to figure out another method for the cashouts.

.......

A deposit of just £5 can be made, and there are maximum deposit limits in place. These are: £1,000 per day, £3,000 per week, and £5,000 per month. You should keep in mind, however, that in order to get credited with the starting free extra, your first deposit needs to be at least a tenner. I’d also advise you to pay attention to the individual bonus terms every time you want to benefit from a promotion because they often require a specific qualifying deposit amount.

The minimum withdrawal that you can request is £20 and the maximum limits are: daily – £1,000, weekly – £2,000, and monthly – £3,000. There is a 24-hour pending period after you request your cashout during which you need to provide the necessary documentation to get the payment approved. It is also possible that you cancel your request and continue playing with the money. After that pending period, the time for your cash to get to you can take anything between 3 and 10 working days. This depends entirely on the payment methods used, cheques being the slowest by default.

Something More about the Brand and Its Business

The brand is part of the 888 group and runs on the Dragonfish network. This notable network unites gaming websites that are managed by the independent B2B division of 888 Holdings PLC. The group was previously known as Globalcom. The brand we are discussing opened in 2011 and have gone from strength to strength, with the great range of games and jackpots on offer. It is licensed and regulated in Gibraltar and in the UK.

You can contact support whenever you have any questions or service issues. There are two main channels for doing that. One is by e-mail: when you click the link, an online form will open for you to fill in. Use as many details as you can to make answering your query easier and quicker. They aim to reply to emails within a 72-hour period. You can also call the friendly operators by the phone. There is a free line from the UK, 0800 901 2510, and it is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There is also the option to talk to agents live on the website. This is not a live chat facility, however, but an instant help option that gives you the chance to ask the CH questions in the public chat rooms. This route of contact is not recommended if you have a private issue with payment details.

Regarding the software, it’s worth to remember that you need the newest version of the Flash Player to be able to load the games properly. No download is necessary; all will open in the browser. Dragonfish supply one of the top interfaces in the field. It’s easy to use and extremely user friendly.

Security is top priority on the site. Both your details and your transactions will be guarded by the latest SSL technology for encryption. A decent RNG is also in place to guarantee the randomness of the games outcomes. As for responsible gambling policy, you can be sure that the operator has implemented the best existing guards to prevent juveniles from playing and betting here.

Our Easy Summary on the Gaming Provider

Where do I start? I love it! The design itself is fab. When you arrive on the site, you instantly notice the lovely Hippo, dressed in a Caribbean style bikini sunbathing in a hammock between two palm trees. The sea is deep blue and almost gets you diving into it, well into the games, that is. You can see the portfolio on offer, with a highlight on the jackpots, plus the welcome offer on the landing page screen.

Registration is easy – so don’t panic. Head straight to the lobby to engage in action. Any room will welcome you, so try them all. You can take part in the fun and friendly chitchat with your roomies. The place was buzzing with players when I logged in and the promotions on offer are superb.

FAQs

How do I play for free?

The operator has a loyalty scheme in place that dishes out various benefits and rewards, depending on your level. When you join, you will step on the rewards ladder. Playing the games will increase your points and give you better rewards. In addition to the rest, you also get to play in one of the four free rooms. Entry there is based on your deposits in the last 7 days. What’s on offer is rather tasty, I’ll give you an example or two. The daily £35 free jackpot game is open to those who have deposited £10 in the last 7 days, whereas the £150 weekly free jackpot can be attended by players who have made a single £100 deposit in the last 7 days. OK, that second bit was slightly too demanding, I admit. You can stick to the daily freebies that require lower total deposits over the week.

How do I know the games are fair?

One of the biggest concerns when playing online is guaranteeing fair gaming. The operator understands the importance of this. To ensure that the games remain fair at all times, they use a trusted Random Number Generator (RNG). This is always used to determine the outcomes of the games at Hippo Bingo. Whether you are playing bingo games, rolling a dice on the casino tables or spinning the slots, an RNG is used to ensure compliance with relevant standards. This system is used throughout the gambling industry and has been rigorously tested, millions and millions of times to ensure fair results.
