ITV Bingo Review

ITV Bingo Site Review

On 3rd May 2009 ITV Bingo closed it's bingo doors to all players only to see the site re-open again in February 2010 with a new software provider, a whole new look and a brand new welcome bonus for new players through their virtual doors! This brand was originally the site behind the popular Bingo Night Live although in reality it was PartyGaming that actually provide the software for the bingo games at this site. This is no longer the case, the software for the new look ITV Bingo is provided by Brigend (sometimes knowns as 888 Holdings or Globalcom).

ITV Bingo currently boasts a no deposit required welcome bonus but as with all good things, this could be subject to change as the site increases in popularity (this offer was dropped in July and is now just a 100% cash match bonus). Although CashCade is the operator for the brand and they are well known for their network of sites, the brand is a standalone offering. This means that all the players and chat hosts that you see in the rooms are from ITV Bingo.

Registration is fairly simple at ITV Bingo and when that is complete you are then able to login and visit the bingo lobby. The site offers a deposit bonus to new players of 100% cash match on your first deposit and 50% on all subsequent deposits. Although there is a section to complete your financial details during registration this is not required to sign up to this site, simply leave your details blank if you would prefer to do this after you have had chance to look around.

There are plenty of jackpot games available at ITV Bingo with nightly guaranteed games and a weekly £1,000 guaranteed game each and every Friday. Standard games play every 3-5 minutes and there is always at least two rooms open 24/7 so whether you're a night owl, early bird or lunchtime player there will be a room with a friendly chat host available to play in.

Like all of the brands powered by this software currently ITV Bingo has only 75 and 90 ball bingo on offer but there are multiple choices for the instant win games. The game play is exactly the same as that at many other CashCade brand sites but the bingo rooms all have the theme of your favourite television programs.

You're assured of a safe and secure gaming environment at this brand as with all Cassava/Cashcade sites and the cashier is provided by Brigend meaning all of your details are safe.

It's great to see the site back online and in all honesty, it's a vast improvement on the previous offering from PartyGaming.

Game Options

There are multiple rooms available at ITV Bingo and each have a theme from your favourite television program. For example:

Coronation Street

At launch the site hosted a 75 and 90 ball bingo under Coronation Street; both are for funded players only. The 90 ball bingo room is called the Rovers Return and the 75 ball bingo room is The Kabin.

In all rooms players have the usual options found on the 888/Globalcom bingo software. You are able to choose whether to manually mark your bingo tickets or leave the computer to mark it. You can have your cards marked from 3 numbers to bingo, your best card first and many other options.

In each room you can choose to catch up on the latest happenings in your favourite program by clicking the TV screen at the top right of your bingo room.

Other Games

There are a whole plethora of bingo side games including favourites like Cleopatra, X Factor Steps to Stardom and Bejeweled. Other casino style games are available, simply choose 'Show all Instants' above your bingo chat room.

Chat Games

ITV Bingo offers a wide variety of bingo chat games in their chat rooms; simply keep an eye on what the host has to say, they will keep you abreast of what game is playing and the rules. To participate in the chat games you must be a depositing player and have at least one card in play.

This is just one example:

Aye Up Duck (Coronation Street room)

When you win bingo you need to choose another player in the room to toast. Type "Aye Up" and the players name and if that players types "Aye Up" back then they will be credited with 1,000 points - £1 of free bingo.

Jackpots

Big cash jackpots aren't in short supply at ITV Bingo and the guaranteed jackpots are plentiful. Each and every evening in the Rovers Return you can play in seven games each with a £50 jackpot from 6pm through until 9pm (game every 30 minutes) for just 10p a card.

• One line winner - £5
• Two line winner - £15
• Full house winner - £30

At 9pm nightly there is also a £100 guaranteed jackpot game available for just 10p a ticket as well. And don't forget the Fantastic Friday £1,000 guaranteed jackpot game for just £1 a ticket. Both of these games are available on pre-buy under the "Pre-purchase" tab from the bingo lobby.

Promotions

There are numerous promotions available from ITV Bingo; some are static meaning they happen each and every week whilst others are time limited. Below are just a couple of examples of the static promotions available:

• Win a telly every Saturday - Play in the 9pm each and every Saturday for 50p a ticket and you could win a 40" LCD TV
• Piggy Bank - Check your newsletter for the Piggy Bank number because a win on the weekly number could see you bag a share of the 250,000 points up for grabs!
• 1tg/2tg games - If you tend to be "always the bridesmaid" when it comes to playing bingo online then the 1tg/2tg bonus games should be right up your street - never before has being a loser been so lucrative!
• Speed Bingo - Like you bingo fast and furious then play in the Home Farm room daily from 1pm until 2pm.
