Buzz Bingo Bonus

Design & Usability

Once you’ve created an account and logged into Buzz Bingo, it’s a breeze to use. At the top of the page, you’ll see the casino’s breakdown of various game sections, and within each, further categories to help pinpoint the kind of experience you’re after. In the bingo section, for example, you’ll see ticking clocks counting down any upcoming games, as well as special features, slot-based bingo, specific bingo promos, and Community — a section of the site where players can learn about Buzz’s Chat Stars and how to use chat facilities. After all, bingo is a traditionally social game.

We did, unfortunately, have a bit of a hard time during the sign-up process. The part of the site that deals with verification was down, which meant not being able to play at the casino for a while. Then, once the ID had been uploaded, a pop-up message continuously asked us to re-upload the documents. It’s not a major issue and may just have been temporary, but it’s certainly an area this casino could improve.

Software

Since Buzz Bingo predominantly functions as a bingo site, we think its collection of software developers is outstanding. The majority of its slots are supplied by Pragmatic Play, but you’ll also find titles from many of the industry’s biggest studio houses, including NetEnt, Blueprint Gaming, Eyecon, IGT, and loads more. Two notable absentees are Microgaming and Play’n GO, so if you’re a particular fan of their products, Buzz might not be the casino for you.

Games

It goes without saying that Buzz Bingo’s forte is undoubtedly bingo. The site has a great collection of 90-ball, 80-ball, and 75-ball games. That said, slots fans will also feel right at home thanks to bingo rooms themed after beloved classics such as Rainbow Riches and Fluffy Favourites. TV fans can enjoy tie-ins like Deal or No Deal Bingo, and there’s also live bingo every day from 12pm–10pm.

Hopping over to the slots catalogue, it’s pretty impressive. The library is stocked with around 1,500 different titles, so there’s no shortage of choice. Players can sort by ‘New’ to see the most recent additions — we were excited to see Big Bass Amazon Xtreme on the lineup at the time of writing. However, there are very few other ways to filter the library, which does make it a little frustrating when you’re browsing for something to play.

Last but not least, the casino games, which are possibly the weakest area of the Buzz Bingo library. In terms of RNG, roulette fans actually get a substantial amount of choice. But it’s slim pickings for everyone else, with just a singular blackjack title available. It’s a more positive outlook in the live casino section, especially if you’re into live game shows. Players can fire up the likes of Spin a Win, Live Football Roulette, or Buffalo Blitz Live alongside a small collection of more traditional casino table games.

In any case, Buzz Bingo probably isn’t the site for you if you’re looking for table games or live dealers. However, the site does deliver a premier bingo experience with plenty of slots to keep you entertained between rounds.

Slots

We’re really impressed by Buzz Bingo’s dedication to the world of online slots, with almost 1,500 titles to choose from. That’s more than many specialist casino sites, let alone one that functions primarily as an online bingo destination. The majority of the collection is supplied by Pragmatic Play — including hits such as Wolf Gold, The Dog House, and Chilli Heat — but there’s great variety here in terms of developer, RTP percentages, and volatility. Mega Moolah and Immortal Romance (both Microgaming), Book of Dead (Play’n GO), and Gonzo’s Quest (NetEnt) are the most notable absentees, although the Megaways version of the latter is included.

The collection is well-categorised, with dedicated sections for the casino’s slingo titles, Megaways slots, and jackpot games ‒ in this last category, there are loads of both daily drops and progressive games. You’ll also notice the Buzz Originals tab sitting alongside these sections. It’s here that you’ll uncover all of the site’s exclusive games, available to play at Buzz Bingo and nowhere else. The casino hasn’t skimped on this collection either, with 50 exclusive slots on offer when we conducted our review.

Live Casino

Buzz Bingo’s live casino is supplied by Playtech. Now, it’s no secret that Evolution Gaming is the main player in the live casino space with many live roulette and blackjack titles — we’ve certainly sung its praises on numerous occasions — but there’s something refreshing about seeing another developer take the lead. It means that players at Buzz have a different live casino library to what they might be used to elsewhere, with interesting titles across a range of games.

Of course, roulette and blackjack are the most prominent here. We particularly like Age of the Gods Roulette, where players will trigger a bonus round if they win a bet on the spot next to the single zero, and where four different progressive jackpots are in play.

Players will also be able to enjoy baccarat, poker, andar bahar, dragon tiger, and sic bo in Buzz Bingo’s live casino. These games sit proudly alongside what is another impressive display of live game shows, including Adventures Beyond Wonderland, Deal or No Deal, Everybody’s Jackpot, The Money Drop, and Spin A Win.

Buzz Bingo keeps the payments side simple with a core offering that covers most of the bases. There are just four methods available — debit card, PayPal, Paysafecard, and Apple Pay. While we typically prefer to see a longer list, it does feel like these services have been chosen to broadly cover different preferences: PayPal for e-wallet users; Paysafecard for the utmost privacy; Apple Pay for convenient payments on iOS devices. Of course, debit cards need no introduction and are still the preferred payment method for many users.

That said, we were a little disappointed that Trustly isn’t included. This lightning-fast payment service has become a mainstay at UK casinos and is a strong performer when it comes to security and withdrawal speed.

Speaking of withdrawals, how does Buzz Bingo fare? Ignoring the limited payment options — obviously, Paysafecard can’t be used here — players can expect to receive their money pretty quickly. Buzz supports Visa Direct and Mastercard Send, so eligible debit cards can receive withdrawals within one hour once processed by the site. Likewise, PayPal also supports instant payouts once your request is processed.

Buzz Bingo’s T&Cs state that all withdrawals are processed within 48 hours, so it’s realistic to assume you’ll be waiting a day or two before the funds land back in your bank or PayPal account.

Support Options

One thing Buzz Bingo certainly does well is customer support. Every channel of communication available is utilised by this casino: a detailed FAQs section, email and phone support, live chat from 10am–10pm every day, and members even have the option to send the casino something in the post. Social media is also part of the Buzz experience, and the casino has an active presence on both Twitter and Facebook, which may well be used as another avenue of customer service.

Many online casinos are a bit hit-and-miss when it comes to mobile experience, but that’s not the case at Buzz. If you want to pick up and play, it’s quick and easy to load up your favourite slots and bingo rooms straight from the browser, thanks to a well-oiled mobile site. But for iOS users, Buzz Bingo goes one further and offers a native app, which can be downloaded straight to your device.

At TopRatedCasinos.co.uk, we always suggest installing such apps if you’re looking for the best experience on mobile. The Buzz Bingo app certainly delivers in this regard, giving users access to the full suite of bingo, slots, and table games. From a functionality standpoint, it’s also easier to hop into a game when it only takes a few taps from your homescreen. And with support for Apple Pay, making deposits and withdrawals is a breeze too. App Store user reviews were strong at the time of writing — 4.4 out of 5 — with players praising the chat features in particular.

Sadly, there’s no app available for Android users currently, but the mobile site should still get the job done for the majority of players.

App Review

There’s no native app for Buzz Bingo members to download, but mobile gambling is made possible via its mobile-optimised website. This is admittedly the least we expect from a modern online casino, but it still needs to be done well. The majority of the casino’s games library is carried over, and loading times were much faster than the desktop site. In fact, any of the UX issues we had on desktop weren’t a problem on mobile, so players may find mobile a more enjoyable way to gamble at Buzz.
