Charming Bingo Review

Charming Bingo is a Jumpman bingo site which was originally launched at the end of 2015. It’s changed a lot since then and the focus nowadays is very much on slots.

The “Charming” in the name refers to lucky charms and the theming of the original version of the site majored on lucky fruit machine cherries – looking like nothing so much as an explosion in a jam factory. Charming Bingo was redesigned in 2018 when Jumpman underwent a platform upgrade and this was a big improvement, with a lucky rainbow and sparkly cascade of bingo balls and good luck symbols in the background and a much more uplifting colour scheme. Unfortunately the site is now looking a bit neglected: there’s a promotion being advertised on the home page that hasn’t been available at Jumpman sites for ages, and the “Lucky Charms” information page has a lot of broken images (probably removed to comply with tighter advertising rules around gambling and superstitions).

And let’s face it, the bingo ball background is pretty out of date too. Although Charming Bingo was heavy on bingo when it launched, that was a long time ago when the Jumpman proprietary bingo software was still going strong and most Jumpman sites had bingo bonus welcome offers and not a lot of slot games. The Jumpman bingo software was retired a couple of year ago and although Charming Bingo does still have a number of bingo rooms (now by Pragmatic Play) many of which have worthwhile prize money, Jumpman have chosen not to enable chat and that will be a dealbreaker for many players. The range of slots on the Jumpman platform, on the other hand, has got VERY much bigger and better – so essentially, what you’re now looking at when you visit Charming Bingo is not really a bingo site any more, but a slot site with a bit of bingo on the side.

If that’s what you’re after, and the spin the wheel type of offer appeals to you, Charming Bingo may be just the thing – you can expect the Mega Wheel to make an appearance time and time again in the form of redepoist offers which will be sent to you directly as well as appearing on the promotions page.

Safer Gambling Provision

In terms of safer gambling tools, links and advice it meets Gambling Commission requirements but there’s no extras of any kind. It’s worth knowing that if you do feel the need to self exclude from Charming Bingo, the self exclusion will also apply to all sites on the Jumpman licence.
