Sparkly Bingo Review

Ever heard that phrase, ‘All that glitters isn’t gold’? Well that certainly isn’t the case for Sparkly Bingo—this superb site glitters, sparkles and positively shimmers. So if you’re interested in a bounty of guaranteed jackpots, a star-studded VIP club and some buzzing bingo action—Sparkly Bingo might indeed be the site for you.

In depth

Banking

Sparkly Bingo only has a small range of payment methods on offer—we hope this will change in the future. 

Placing deposits

Deposits can be placed via any of the following methods:

• Credit card: Visa/Mastercard
• Debit card: Visa/Maestro
• Paysafecard
• Neteller
• By phone
• Wire transfer

The minimum deposit amount is £20.

Making withdrawals

If you deposited via a debit card or credit card, your winnings will be credited to that same card or account when you make a withdrawal. If you’ve used a different method, you’ll receive your winnings via wire transfer. The minimum withdrawal amount is £30. Don’t forget to check you’ve met the wagering requirements, otherwise you won’t be able to make any withdrawals.

Games

Bingo

If you’re looking to play a classic game of bingo, you definitely won’t be disappointed by Sparkly Bingo’s selection. The site offers 75 ball, 90 ball and 5 line bingo—which is a pretty nice variety.

And if that’s not enough to catch your eye, there’s also a shimmering range of jackpots on offer from Radiant Riches to Razzle Dazzle, offering prizes going all the way up to £2,500. While this might not be as large as other sites, we’re still pretty impressed.

Plus, there’s a nice range of progressive jackpots up for grabs in the 75 ball, 90 ball and 5 line games.

• Complete the Cosmopolitan pattern in 30 calls or less for the chance to grab a huge jackpot in the Cosmopolitan PJP game!
• In the 5 Line PJP game, get a Full House in 45 calls or less to win the jackpot in 5 Line Fantasy.

Slots and casino games

If you want to take a small break from bingo (gasp), Sparkly Bingo also offers a limited selection of 20 slot games and 1 casino game (European Roulette). While this is slightly disappointing, there are some games that are definitely worth checking out. Take a look at our top picks below...

Wizard of Oz

Travel down the yellow brick road and journey through Emerald City in this 5-reel, 30-payline slot based on the classic film. You’ll find yourself searching for free spins, emeralds and wild symbols—not to mention the Wizard of Oz. If you’re lucky, you’ll come away with a jackpot faster than you can click your ruby slippers together!

Pharaoh's Luck

Journey through ancient tombs and haunted pyramids in this 5-reel, 15-payline slot. Pharaoh’s Luck will pit you against Egyptian gods, a sphinx and maybe even a grave robber or two. If the gods are on your side, you might bag yourself a fortune worthy of a pharaoh.

Starburst

If you’re feeling a little nostalgic, you might want to try out a slot that has more of an arcade vibe to it. Starburst is a 5-reel, 10-payline slot filled with dazzling wild symbols and vibrant free spins. With this slot, you can enjoy beautiful visuals, and fantastic jackpots—what more could you want?

Promotions

Sparkly Bingo’s gleam seems to dull ever so slightly when it comes to promotions. The site currently only has three promotions on offer. However, this is quite a minor gripe on what is generally a very solid site.

• Stardust: Sparkly Bingo is giving away £1,200 every day in its Stardust games, which run every hour. The jackpot is split as FH = £50, 2L = £30 and 1L = £20.
   
• £5,000 Cash Jackpot: play at Sparkly Bingo’s Cash Cloud on Sunday with 6 free cards. Play for free for the chance to win a giveaway of up to £5,000.
   
• Pretty Pennies: play in Sparkly Bingo’s Pretty Penny room with games costing as low as 1p. You get the chance to win a share of £50, split as: FH = £25, 2L = £15 and 1L = £10.

Performance

Sparkly Bingo is a site that looks great and feels great to play on. The site isn’t difficult to navigate, and we have to say—we love its adorable mascots. The site runs on industry-standard Dragonfish software, so you know that the games will be high-quality and smooth-running.

Mobile

Sparkly Bingo doesn’t have a mobile app available, but that doesn’t matter—the site is optimized for mobiles anyway. All you have to do is head to the web address on your PC, mobile or tablet browser and play to your heart’s content!

Support

If you run into any problems on site, or if you’d like to ask the Sparkly Bingo team any questions, you can get in contact via phone, email or live chat. Alternatively, you can check out the FAQs section for smaller queries.

Extra features

What Sparkly Bingo lacks in promotions, it more than makes up for in extra features—take a look at our top picks below!

Diamond VIP Club

If you’re a fan of exclusivity and the red-carpet treatment, look no further than Sparkly Bingo’s VIP Club. This Diamond VIP Club is part of the Costa Bingo family—so you can expect nothing but the best. The club has five levels according to how much you’ve deposited since joining—the higher your tier, the more benefits you’ll be entitled to:

• Blue: up to £49
• Bronze: £50 to £499
• Silver: £500 to £999
• Gold: £1000 to £4999
• Platinum: £5000 and above.

Refer a Friend

Who doesn’t love referral schemes? Not only do you get the chance to share your favourite bingo site with a friend, you also get the chance to earn easy money. If you refer a friend to Sparkly Bingo, you will receive 10,000 loyalty points—this is the equivalent to a £10 bonus fund which can be used for bingo.

If that’s not enough for you, you can earn more loyalty points—or Sparkly Bingo points—for every game of bingo or chat game you play. 1,000 loyalty points are equal to a £1 bonus.

Chat rooms and Social Media 

Forget diamonds being a girl’s best friend—Sparkly Bingo will be your new best friend! While it might not have any social media platforms to boast of (sob), it has a great variety of bubbly chat moderators and fellow bingo players to talk to. So if you’re looking to be a part of a fantastic, tight-knit community, Sparkly Bingo is the place to be.

Final comments

Sparkly Bingo has a way to go before it’s a perfect bingo site—it needs more promotions, and it could definitely do with a few more slot games. That being said, it’s got a great VIP scheme and its welcome bonus is to die for. So if you want a bit of glitz and glam in your life, try out Sparkly Bingo—you won’t regret it!
