Review: Spectra Bingo

With the hundreds of bingo sites on offer at the moment, you might not have had the time to check out Spectra Bingo. While it might be one of the lesser known brands on the Dragonfish network, it’s got a lot of potential—so don’t shrug it off just yet!

Spectra had a complete makeover last year, changing its colour scheme from a hot pink to a gender-neutral blue. That’s not the only way it’s attempted to bring in new members: Spectra also boasts of one of the most generous welcome bonus packages out there. Considering the strong competition in this particular field, that’s definitely saying a lot. Plus, the site offers free bingo and an exclusive VIP scheme. We don’t know about you, but we love free bingo, so Spectra’s definitely got our attention.

In depth

Banking

Spectra Bingo accepts a range of payment methods, including Neteller, which we’re pretty happy about. If you prefer methods like Boku or Skrill however, you’ll be pretty disappointed—they’re not currently accepted here.

Placing Deposits

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

Please note: the minimum deposit amount is £5.

Making Withdrawals

Your withdrawal method will be the same as your deposit method. So, if you made a deposit with your Visa debit card, for example, then your winnings will be transferred to this card.

If you deposited via Paysafecard or using a non-UK MasterCard, you’ll receive your winnings via wire transfer or cheque instead. The minimum withdrawal amount is £20, and the process typically takes between 3-5 days depending on your method.

Don’t forget to check that you’ve met the site’s wagering requirements, otherwise you won’t be able to make any withdrawals.

Games

Bingo Games

As you’d expect from such a small site, Spectra Bingo only has a small range of 75-ball, 90-ball and High 5 bingo on offer. While it is slightly disappointing that there aren’t any other variants, Spectra more than makes up for it. Members have the chance to win bingo jackpots of up to £1,000,000! And that’s not all. Spectra offers players free bingo with over 4 rooms—funded players have the chance to win over £1,500.

Slot Games

Slot games are the area in which Spectra Bingo is lacking—with only 25 slots on offer, we can’t help but feel that there should be more. That being said, it’s a nice variety of popular games, so as long as you’re happy sticking to a couple of favourites, there won’t be much of an issue. Take a look at a couple of our favourite picks below:

Spellcast

If you love all things magical, you won’t have to look further than this 5-reel, 20-payline slot. Spellcast is chock full of wizards, cauldrons and potions—set in a spooky, lightning-streaked sky. Find the Wizard Wild symbol, earn your free spins, and you could walk away with a mystical jackpot quicker than you can say abracadabra.

Devil's Delight

In the mood for some downright devilish fun? Check out this 5-reel, 20-payline slot which will throw you straight into the fiery depths of hell. With colourful demons, pentagrams and the grim reaper, you’re sure to have a blast. You won’t need to make a deal with the devil to win big here—simply land a few free spins and walk away with a jackpot or two.

Casino Games

We have some good news and some bad news for casino game lovers. The good news is that Spectra Bingo has five games on offer. The bad news is that the five games are all variants of roulette. So if you’d like to play other casino games, you’ll have to look elsewhere. That being said, if you’re a huge fan of roulette, this news won’t be too disappointing.

Promotions

Spectra Bingo continues to impress us with its super range of promotions.

• The Big £10,000: get tickets for the big £10K game where everyone’s a winner. FH = £750, 2L = £500 1L = £250; all 1TG split £2,000, all 2TG split £1,500 and non-winners split £5,000.
   
• Grab a Grand: play in the Grab a Grand room on the 15th of every month to win a share of £1,000. The jackpot of £1,000 is split between FH, 2L and 1L.
   
• Sure Win: play on the 15th of every month for a share of £2,500. FH = £1,000, 2L = £600 and 1L = £400. Plus, the remainder split £500.

And, with its Dragonfish powered games, you don’t have to worry about any lagging or buffering—it’s all smooth sailing from here.

Extra features

Loyalty Scheme

Who doesn’t want to be crowned Bingo Champ? Well, now you can, with Spectra Bingo’s exclusive and fun VIP scheme.

When you play at Spectra Bingo, you start to accumulate ‘jewels’ through making deposits and spending money on bingo or slots. The more jewels you have, the further up the VIP scheme you’ll go. A £1 deposit is equivalent to 12 jewels, so for some players, it won’t take long at all to climb up to the top.

There are four levels:

• Bingo Rookie: 0 Jewels
• Bingo Pro: 1-599
• Bingo Master: 600-2,399
• Bingo Champ: 2400+

The benefits from this scheme include bingo bonus cashback, slots bonus cashback, free spins and free tickets to the Big £10K game.

Refer a Friend

All truly great bingo sites want you to be able to share the fun with all your fellow bingo-loving friends, so it’s no surprise to find out that Spectra Bingo offer a referral scheme, making playing with your bingo buddies even more rewarding.

If you refer a friend to Spectra Bingo, you can walk away with a £10 Bingo Bonus. That’s just for referring your friend—which you probably already do on a regular basis anyway! There’s a limit of 15 referrals per month, which means that each month, you could net yourself up to £150 in bonus cash.

Community and Social Media

It’s non-stop action and news with Spectra Bingo. The site has accounts on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+, so you can stay 100% updated on all the latest promotions, news and gossip. Who doesn’t love a good social media platform? And if that’s not enough for you, check out their seasonal gifts calendar, letting you stay updated with the latest bonuses.

As for Spectra’s community, what can we say—it’s super. The Chat Moderators are living proof that not all heroes wear capes. And the community is always waiting with open arms to welcome new members. So if you love tight-knit communities, you’ll feel right at home here.

Final comments

Spectra Bingo isn’t a particularly large site, but that doesn’t stop it from making a huge impression. With its generous welcome bonus package, we were hooked from the start. And with the chance to be crowned Bingo Champion, who could resist? That being said, we would definitely like to see a few more promotions—you can never be too spoilt after all. Plus, we feel that a bigger selection of games would definitely improve the site.

On the whole, though, Spectra Bingo is a fantastic site with the potential to become one of the bingo greats in the future!
