About JazzyCat

If you’ve previously played at either Bingostars or Peachy Games, you will find JazzyCat looks very familiar.  That’s because it is on the same platform.  It doesn’t, however, have the same owner.  Solaya Group Limited recently decided to make their platform available to others under a white label arrangement. Zebra Bingo was the first of these brands and JazzyCat is the second; essentially, it’s both a bingo site and an online casino with no compromises made on either account.

In their previous incarnation as Dazzletag, Solaya have more than 15 years experience of running bingo sites, going right back to the innovative Bingocams which let players live chat with each other long before the invention of Zoom meetings. They’ve also got plenty of experience of running online casinos such as Casushi.

Getting Started At JazzyCat

Signup at JazzyCat is by means of a simple 3 step form. It’s really easy to fill in, with some nice features like postcode lookup so you don’t have to type in your full address.  During the process, you’ll need to enter the verification code sent to your phone, so if you are using a different device to register you’ll need to have your phone to hand. Note that it must be a phone with a UK number as the +44 country code is prefilled and can’t be changed.

Once you’ve accepted the terms and conditions and set your communication preferences (and optionally deposit limits), your account will normally be open right away (there may be a short delay while they verify your details and conduct social responsibility checks).

Do make sure that you play through your deposit on the correct product – bingo if you want to claim the bingo offer and slots if you want to claim the spins offer.

Bingo at JazzyCat

The bingo rooms at JazzyCat are powered by the undisputed industry leader Playtech, and there are plenty of them.  The latest version of the bingo lobby is extremely user friendly and there’s even an interactive tutorial to help you get used to it in the unlikely event that you haven’t played Playtech bingo before.

• The lineup of network 90 ball rooms includes regular, penny and speed bingo as well as several Playtech specials, of which more shortly
• There’s 5 line and pattern 75 ball bingo plus Spirit Twister, a 75 ball game where all players have the same number of tickets
• 80 ball bingo has its own room
• The Playtech special bingo games include Deal Or No Deal Bingo in both 75 and 90 ball formats, the 90 ball games Age of the Gods Bingo and Fluffy Favourites Bingo which have bonus features themed on popular slot games, 50 ball Clover Rollover Bingo and 36 ball Cash Cubes

Playtech also run daily, weekly and monthly jackpot bingo games, each in a room of its own so you can pop in and buy tickets for the next game any time.  The monthly game has a particularly impressive prize pool (£100K at the time of writing).

The Prebuy lobby tab defaults to showing you all of the bingo games that are coming up in all rooms in the next two hours.   You can select rooms and other times of day using the drop down menus, and change the date to anything up to a month in the future.  Tap or click the filters button to access more advanced prebuy facilities; you can select by type of bingo, game features or ticket price.

Finally there is the Games lobby tab where you can play a selection of popular slot games from Playtech and Eyecon.  The same games can also be played as minigames when inside a bingo room.

Slots & Games at JazzyCat

JazzyCat has a huge selection of slot games including player favourites like Temple Tumble Megaways, Fishin’ Pots of Gold, Big Bass Bonanza (and sequels), Fluffy Favourites, Book of Dead, Buffalo Blitz, Blue Wizard, Eye of Horus, Gates of Olympus, Immortal Romance, Bonanza, 9 Pots of Gold and many more.  You can find many of these in the Popular lobby area as well as in the Slots area.

Thousands of other slot games can be found by using the search box.  It’s particularly helpful that it returns results for game providers as well as for games.  For example, when I searched for Bonanza I got a list of more than 60 games whose name includes the word but when I searched for Big Time Gaming there it was along with sequels Bonanza Falls and Christmas Bonanza.

All of the game tiles in the lobby (but not in the search results) have a little heart icon you can tap or click to add them to your favourites, but if you want to find out anything more (game features, volatility, RTP) you will need to open the game you are interested in and look in the help files there.

The Jackpots section is particularly impressive.  The three big ones from Games Global – Mega Moolah, WowPot and King Millions – are all present and correct.  They also have Jackpot King, Mega Fortune, Divine Fortune, Hall of Gods and Eyecon jackpots plus several others.

It’s not just about the slot games. Around 90 Slingo titles sit in a dedicated lobby area and there’s a high quality Instant area with scratchcards, plink, pachinko, lotto, mines and crash games.

The Live Casino has roulette, blackjack, baccarat, poker and game shows and what’s really great is the range of game providers included – Evolution, Playtech, Pragmatic Play and On Air Entertainment – meaning that there’s truly something for everyone.

If you aren’t wild about live dealers, visit the Table lobby tab to find single player versions of many of the same games (and others).

Other Things To Consider

JazzyCat has a full looking promotions page but most of it is taken up with the welcome offers, Pragmatic Play’s Drop & Wins and various Playtech bingo promotions. There is, however, one Solaya exclusive promotion and it’s a doozy!  The Daily Catch free bonus game is a staple at Solaya sites and is great fun. Designed for mobile phones, it also plays on any other size screen.  It’s a fishing game and you get 5 casts a day; the aim is to fill up your Fish Log and redeem for free spins (in keeping with the theme, the spins are on the Hot Tuna slot game).  You can also win spot prizes of free spins.

The range of deposit methods is a bit disappointing.  Although you can pay by instant bank transfer if you don’t want to use your debit card, there’s no e-wallet or prepaid voucher options.

Support is delivered by email or live chat.  Fill in a form to get email support within 24 hours, or open the chat bubble for live chat.  In the latter case, you’ll find yourself talking to the Jazzy Bot chatbot at first. Jazzy will summon the correct human agent to deal with your query (depending on what it is) but only beween 9am and 6.30pm (which could be a problem if you experience an issue late at night).  There’s also a FAQ but it only covers entry level stuff.

Final Thoughts

JazzyCat is a nice looking and easy to use site with a great range of casino and bingo games.  Although it would be nice to see a bigger range of deposit methods, the choice of welcome offers speaks for itself.
