Gone Bingo Review
Gone Bingo is a fairly good looking site on the Best Bingo Network, employing the Cozy Games software, a brand that is well known for their big sign up bonuses and grand gestures. The network includes site such as Bingo Hero among others, and the first thing we’ll say is that Gone Bingo wins the battle of the homepages, with a pretty sleek, attractive design, boasting 90-ball, 80-ball, 75-ball and 30-ball bingo and a whole host of offers too.
As expected, the welcome bonuses at Gone Bingo are huge, they really want to draw the players in. There are no deposit sign up bonuses, and then huge match bonuses on your first three deposits.
The entire sign up bonus is really simple, although you do have to go through email verification to claim your free bonuses. Once you’re all signed up and verified, the lobby will appear within the main site. Choose your game, hit play and the bingo client will launch in a new screen.
The game screen is typically Cozy Games, and unfortunately that isn’t a good thing. Cards do take centre stage, but everything feels a little cluttered. Tickets can be bought using an impossible slider above the tickets and sadly the whole thing feels clunky and not very user-friendly at all.
To the right of the bingo tickets is chat, usually we praise CMs who are chatty and interact with the room, but you might end up wanting to tell these ones to shut up. The constant pushing for deposits and the endless stream of specials and promotions makes the chat host feel like a bad salesman and we soon tire of it.
However, our biggest complaint is a restriction on how many cards we can buy. We have all this free cash that has been thrust at us, but we’re not allowed to buy enough tickets to secure a win. It’s a huge limitation, and while we can understand why they have done it, to allow depositing players a fair chance, it makes the entire generous sign up bonus a bit of an empty box in fancy wrapping paper.
In the defence of Gone Bingo, there are at least plenty of games to choose from. They offer one of the biggest variations in online bingo games on the net and there are a whole host of instant wins, slots, and casino games to keep you happy if you fancy a break from the bingo.
Overall Gone Bingo is an acceptable bingo sites, and like for like, it’s our favourite site using the Cozy Games network. However, there are high wagering requirements on those generous bonuses, and there are certain gameplay areas that could definitely be improved. However, with so many bingo sites out there offering identical products under different hats, you may find Gone Bingo a refreshing change.
