Cheers Bingo

As you’d expect from a site that is more than 10 years old, Cheers Bingo looks quite different today to the way it did when first launched and the changes are not just superficial.  The most obvious change is that the site theming has had to be modified to remove any references to alcoholic drinks (those are mocktails you see in the brand logo, honest!) but the many underlying changes are much more important and are part and parcel of the journey that Jumpman Gaming have been on over the last decade.

In a nutshell, Cheers Bingo was originally centred round a lively bingo community with bingo rooms on Jumpman’s proprietary bingo platform with most players on desktop or laptop computers.  Now, it’s primarily a slots site with most players on mobile phones and the bingo is almost an afterthought.  How did this happen?  It’s the result of a gradual change in direction by Jumpman, reducing investment in their bingo product (cutting down hosted chat, delaying the development of a mobile bingo product, moving away from bingo focused welcome offers) while expanding their slots portfolio beyond all recognition.  A new version of the Jumpman bingo product that worked on mobile phones did eventually come out in 2018 but by that time the bingo rooms were looking very quiet and it was not much of a surprise when the proprietary product was retired a couple of years later and replaced with Pragmatic Play bingo rooms.

The Pragmatic Play bingo product is excellent and because the bingo rooms are networked far beyond Jumpman sites, they are busy enough for there to be decent prize money.  But – and it is a big but if you are a regular bingo player – there’s absolutely no community as the chat facility in the bingo rooms has been disabled.  There’s also no Jumpman exclusive bingo rooms or promotions and no bingo bonuses.  Essentially then, the bingo is just a sideshow and it’s really all about the slots at Cheers Bingo these days.

If what you’re looking for is not a traditional bingo site, but a slot site with a side order of bingo that is suitable for mobile phone play, Cheers Bingo certainly has a great selection of slot games and fresh games (both new releases and popular titles from newly added providers) are added every few days.  There’s also an area for scratchcards and other instant win games plus a growing range of casino games including live blackjack, roulette and a few game shows.  The most recent version of the Jumpman lobby was designed with mobile phone play in mind and it’s ideal for playing on the go.

Promotions are similarly based around slots. There’s regular prize draws (run across all Jumpman sites not just Cheers Bingo) and frequent redeposit offers based around the same sort of spin the wheel game as the welcome offer (there are a couple of these on the promo page but you’ll mostly receive them via whatever marketing channels you’ve opted into).

Spin the wheel games and a focus on slots – perhaps not what you might have expected from a site called Cheers Bingo!  If it sounds like your cup of tea, though, this site could be worth checking out.
