Bingo Clubhouse

Bingo Clubhouse sounds like a place to go play bingo, hang out and chat, right?  And indeed, when it was first launched more than ten years ago that’s very much what it was like.

The underlying Jumpman platform has undergone some massive changes in the meantime, however, and the Bingo Clubhouse of today bears little resemblance to the original.  The most recent version of the platform is massively superior to the old “15 Network” in two respects – mobile usability (where it’s gone from literally zero to hero) and range and variety of slot games.  But it’s rather more mixed fortunes for the bingo.

Essentially, Bingo Clubhouse has gone from running Jumpman’s proprietary bingo software with chat, free bingo and lots of bingo bonuses, to eliminating the bingo bonuses and the chat, to retiring the software completely (largely due to the bingo rooms being too quiet) and switching to the Pragmatic Play bingo product.  And when the Pragmatic Play software was brought in, Jumpman decided not to enable any chat.  The result is that when you play bingo at Bingo Clubhouse:

• It’s cash only – there’s no bingo bonuses or free tickets on offer from the welcome offer or at any other time
• You’re playing mostly with people from completely different sites elsewhere on Pragmatic Play’s bingo network, and there’s no way of interacting with them

It’s a decent selection of bingo rooms with 75, 90, 80 and 30 ball rooms plus Diamond Dazzle (which plays very much like Deal or No Deal Bingo) and the speed game Bingo Blast, and there are some worthwhile prizes to be won, but it’s in no way the social experience that many players expect online bingo to be; if you’re one of them you will be disappointed by Bingo Clubhouse (or any other Jumpman bingo site).

But what if you’re one of the new breed of players who’s not bothered about chat and likes to play slots as well as bingo?  In that case, you may very well love Bingo Clubhouse as the selection of slot games is superb and they’ve also got scratchcards, Slingo and live casino games including live slots and game shows.  There are also plenty of redeposit offers all of which offer the opportunity to spin versions of the Mega Reel, so if that spin the wheel type offer appeals to you (and do bear in mind that all the prizes are slot spins not anything to do with bingo) it’s another reason to give Bingo Clubhouse a try despite it now being something of a misnomer.
