Review: Bucky Bingo

Bucky Bingo is a powerhouse bingo site, with over 40 years of experience behind it.

Hang on—how can a bingo site have been around for more than 40 years?

Well, the site traces its origins back to Buckingham Bingo, which began life as a traditional bingo hall back in 1970. The company made the move to the internet in 2007, adopting a snappier sounding name in the process.

Despite the change of venue, this site clearly hasn’t forgotten how to keep its customers happy. Bucky wants to grab your attention from the get-go with its insanely generous welcome bonus package which covers your first and second deposit! Plus, with its variety of promotions, it seems like everyone’s a winner at Bucky Bingo!

Even after spending mere minutes on the site, it’s pretty clear that Bucky Bingo values its members—despite its growing reputation, it’s not resting on its laurels: instead, it’s always looking for ways to improve.

If that’s not enough for you, the site is listed on our Award Winning bingo sites page, and it was a WhichBingo Awards 2016 Finalist! Needless to say, Bucky Bingo is a superstar bingo site!

In Depth

Banking

Bucky Bingo has a small variety of payment methods for players to use. You can deposit using your debit or credit card, using PayPal or Paysafecard. It could definitely do with including a few more methods, like Neteller or Skrill, to make the process that much easier.

Placing Deposits

• Debit card: Visa or Maestro
• Credit card: Visa or MasterCard
• PayPal
• Paysafecard

Please note: the minimum deposit amount is £5

Making Withdrawals

You can make withdrawals the same way you make deposits. So, if you made a deposit with your Visa debit card, for example, then your winnings will be transferred to that card. If your payment method doesn’t support withdrawals, then your winnings will be sent to you via bank transfer. The minimum withdrawal amount is £10, and the process typically takes between 3-5 days, depending on your withdrawal method. Don't forget to check the wagering requirements first, or you won't be able to make any withdrawals. 
 

Games

Bingo Games

Bucky Bingo offers players 75-ball and 90-ball bingo. We expected a bit more from such an experienced provider—we’d definitely like to see a few more variants like 30-ball or 40-ball to mix things up a little. That being said, it does have a variety of bingo rooms, such as the Buckingham Room and the Big Money Room. Plus, it offers players the chance to save their money by playing free bingo games in the Free Room between 10am-11am and 10pm-11pm. As always, free bingo is a good selling point for us!

Slots

If just playing bingo isn’t enough for you, don’t worry—Bucky Bingo has thought ahead. It has a small selection of slot games that are sure to keep you entertained!

Performance

It couldn’t be any easier to navigate—and we have to say, we have a huge soft spot for its cute horse mascot!

Like other sites, Bucky Bingo has an exclusive VIP Club. Now, membership to this club is by invitation only—so it’s only for players that Bucky Bingo considers worthy! Status is dependent upon a member’s depositing and wagering history.

Benefits from this club include bonuses with no wagering requirements, birthday bonuses and gifts, VIP promotions, VIP prize draws, VIP Christmas and Easter gifts, and exclusive hospitality.

Facebook Fun

If you’re a big user of Facebook and you love competitions, you’ll definitely love this! Bucky Bingo has a range of Facebook competitions available to players on a weekly basis. It even has a weekly quiz where you have the chance to win a £25 Bingo Bonus! What’s not to like?

Community and Social Media

Bucky Bingo doesn’t let the fun stop outside of its site—it has accounts on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram! So you can keep updated on Bucky Bingo’s latest promotions, offers and news! If that’s not enough for you, it even has its own personal blog, covering everything from Super Free Bingo to Why Be a VIP? It’s a really nice touch that sets the site apart from so many others—we’re very impressed!

We’re also in awe of Bucky Bingo’s real community spirit—you won’t find a happier or louder bunch anywhere else! If you’re a little skittish or shy, don’t worry—they’re very welcoming, and happy to invite newbies into their close-knit community!

And if you’re more about the cash than the chat, then its list of recent winners shows that Bucky Bingo really does keep its members satisfied!

Final Comments

Ding, ding, ding! We might just have found a near-perfect bingo site! Bucky Bingo is a diamond hidden in the midst of average bingo sites. You’ll find it very hard to match its temptingly generous welcome offer and promotions, or find a VIP scheme with as many great benefits! And with its mobile apps, you can enjoy the site anywhere you are, on any device.

As much as it pains us to admit it, however, Bucky Bingo does have a couple of small improvements to make before it’s completely perfect. It definitely needs to widen its variety of bingo games—we’re big fans of 30-ball and 40-ball bingo after all! Not to mention it could do with adding a few (dozen) more slots and casino games! If we’re being particularly picky, we would like to see a couple more payment methods. On a whole however, it’s clear that Bucky Bingo truly is an award-winning site worthy of your time!
