Carlton Bingo Review

“Trust Carlton Bingo, you’re beloved bingo club now online” is the tag used for this brand and with 18 clubs dotted across throughout Scotland and the North East many a land based bingo player making the leap from hall to online bingo brand many visit Carlton Bingo first. The question is does it keep the good name going when you enter the virtual doors of the online site? The home page isn’t exactly welcoming with a very dark feel to it, not the usual bright offering you will find from many other internet bingo brands. The main page doesn’t offer a lot of information about promotions and offers other than details of the 200% welcome bonus for new players to the brand.

Registration was the next port of call and instantly we came across issues! As part of the Virtue Fusion Bingo Network you could have a little trouble registering with Carlton Bingo if you have an account with any of the other brands on the same network (click here for details of other brands using the same network). With a little messing around with email addresses and the like we finally managed to open an account but this was only so that we could complete the review, in any other situation we would have been off to another brand by this point. Before you can enter the bingo rooms you will need to choose a username, the name people will see in the chat rooms.

The bingo lobby shows you details of all the rooms available to choose from at Carlton Bingo; this brand offers quite a selection of bingo games which include 75, 80 and 90 ball. Also available are Community Slots games Multiballs, Marine Mayhem and Clover Countdown but Joker Jackpot doesn’t appear to be available. From the lobby you can see the room names, time until the next game, ticket prices, number of players and the maximum number of tickets available for the games in each room. You can also access a variety of great side games from the lobby too.

Once in the rooms you will find your bingo tickets to the right of your screen with the bingo call board showing above them when the game is in play. Chat is to the right of the screen with side games accessible from a panel above chat. In chat you will see a list of the "roomies" also in the room and you can access the information that they have added about themselves by clicking the "i" icon under their avatar. Along the top of the screen you can see you bingo balance, game bonuses, bingo bonus, stake and win amounts.

Promotions are very thin on the ground at Carlton Bingo with their dedicated page, aside from being REALLY hard to read, only offers you the option of the welcome bonus and details of the progressive jackpots. Both of which can be found at numerous other brands alongside bigger and better promotional offers! Our advice is simple, forget trying to get through the registration process and move on!
