Online Bingo On The Rise – Now It’s Matchmaking

Due to the economic recession, people no longer have the disposable income to play bingo in halls. Also, the smoking ban means that many people have forgone leaving their homes to play – why do so when you can play with bonuses and at your own home?

The only thing missing from online bingo was social interaction but apparently that’s not a problem either – just ask Rachel Brooks and Steve Reeves, who met and fell in love playing bingo online.

“I’ve got a gorgeous cat and my restaurant keeps me busy at weekends so I had pretty much given up on having a man in my life,” comments Rachel, a curry house owner from Devon. “That all suddenly changed when I started playing internet bingo. I started having a bit of banter with another player in the community chat room and within a fortnight I was on the phone to him six times a day!”

Steven, a disabled diabetic from Weston-Super-Mare, used to go down to the bingo hall every week. “The bingo halls used to be a great place to meet people but the smoking ban put a lot of people off and the prices were jacked up to cover their overheads,” comments Steven. “That is when I started playing online and I stumbled upon BingoOnTheBox.com which is a fun site and a great community of players.”

Jackpot City Bingo Review

Jackpot City Bingo is on the established and very slick Virtue Fusion platform which is a good start. The online bingo web site is very funky and is great to play on. With some great sign up bonuses why not join and try it out for yourself?

Signing Up

Signing up is very easy with just one form to fill you don’t need to fill out your bank details straight away but you will be asked for your home address and phone numbers.

When signing upa at internet bingo website you will need to pick yourself a username and when you go to the bingo lobby for the first time you will need to also pick an alias name for when you are playing bingo. Your alias name can not be the same as your username.

Signing up then depositing £10 into your account you will get £20 free and if you deposit with Ukash you will get a further £10 free. This is a great sign up bonus and I’m not sure many other bingo sites are giving away that much money.

Homepage

Jackpot City Bingo’s homepage is the usual pink found on bingo game sites but has been made to look very funky and has great styling, with a 1950’s main cartoon character. The website is very easy to navigate with the main menu listed across the top.

The homepage has a nice scrolling bar to see who the latest big winners are and also a bar that tells you how many players are online at the moment.

Every evening Jackpot City Bingo have a charity game where 100% of all ticket sales goes to the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. Here at Bingo News we really like to see this type of charity contribution.
Playing Jackpot City Bingo

Jackpot City Bingo is fun to play on as are all the Virtue Fusion powered websites. The lobby is very well laid out and the funky theme continues in this part.

The bingo tickets could get quite expensive at more than 50p each but sometimes they would be quite low at 5p, I never saw them any lower than that. There were a lot of people playing on the site, when I was playing bingo there was about 200 people in the same room.

It is very easy to buy your tickets, just use the box that pops up by the bingo tickets and click on the + sign to choose how many tickets you would like. There is also the option to bulk buy your tickets, even for when you know you are not going to be at your computer! If when you click on the + sign and you haven’t got any money in your account it will come up with insufficient funds, you can then go on to deposit into your account so as that you can continue to play bingo without missing out.

The bingo winning could get quite high at over £100 for a full house and the progressive jackpots were quite high as well. Whilst playing bingo you could keep yourself entertained between games by playing on the slots and scratch cards which were pretty fun.

The chat on the site was very friendly and the chat moderators were great and very helpful with any problems. As well as a chat moderator they also had a live help person there, which was great.

Our Verdict

With some great sign up bonuses, great games and friendly chat there is definitely a few reasons why you should give this site a go. The bingo caller was a little bland and could do with a bit more life put into her voice but I found this was only one of very few downsides to the site.

When playing bingo you could also change the colour of your dabber and the shape of it so you could have butterflies, love hearts or even footballs for the men. Jackpot City Bingo is definitely worth a deposit, try for yourself!
