Snowy Bingo Review

Snowy Bingo is a wintry themed Dragonfish network bingo site that was launched in early 2016. It is one of the 888 house owned sites and that means a very slick design, access to all the network rooms and promotions (but no exclusives) and a welcome offer that includes a slots bonus as well as a bingo bonus (although the offer at Snowy, unlike some of the others, is biased towards bingo bonus).

In 2020, Snowy Bingo and its stablemates had been looking rather neglected for some time (although still popular with players because of the attractive welcome offers). This was because the original designs were full of cutesy cartoons that had to be removed in 2017 when the Gambling Commission cracked down on the use of imagery that might appeal to under-18s, leaving lots of plain white space on the home page. The redesign of the sites in Autumn 2020 plus the introduction of the more modern “Snow White” bingo lobby was a massive step up both for looks and for usability across all devices.

Snowy Bingo, like its stablemates, has all and only the standard Dragonfish network bingo rooms – Chatterbox, Bounce’T, Late Night Show and many others – complete with networked chat (and chat games for recent depositors with tickets in play). Inside the lobby you’ll also find more than 450 slot games, many more than you’d think from looking at the public parts of the site but not as many as some other Dragonfish sites. So far, so Dragonfish skin. However, there are a few differences between 888 owned sites like Snowy and Dragonfish network sites owned by other operators.

You will need a mobile phone to register an account at Snowy, and you’ll also need to give them the number and opt in to communications. This is because you need to enter a code that they send via text message to activate your account.
Snowy Bingo’s loyalty scheme is the same as at Costa Bingo, 888 Ladies and many other 888 owned sites. You collect loyalty coins as you play and they can then be spent at any of the sites on the scheme where you have an account. So if you have an account at, say, Costa, any unspent coins you have from there will appear when you log into your new account at Snowy. And any coins you collect at Snowy will be available in your Costa account (indeed, you might prefer to spend them over there as the Costa shop has a different selection of rewards).
Although it appears that the bingo rooms and slot games are directly accessible from the “Bingo Games” and “Slots” pages, they aren’t really; clicking on any of them takes you to the lobby (or a login screen for the lobby if not logged in) which is currently separated from the main site. The next version of the bingo software is much better integrated with the main site but there is no indication of when it will arrive at Snowy. In the meantime, the selection of slots on the “Slots” page are just to give you an idea of what’s in the lobby.

Could there be more upgrades on the way? Quite possibly, but even without them the generous welcome offer makes Snowy Bingo worth a visit for fans of Dragonfish bingo sites; do be aware, though, that just as at every other Dragonfish site these days many of the games are cash only and can’t be played with bonus.
