Swanky Bingo Review

On Swanky Bingo, you'll find a handful of bingo rooms with options of 30,75, 80, and 90-ball games. The game provider behind the games is Pragmatic Play, which is mostly known for online slots - though its game portfolio also includes table games and live dealer games.

The bingo category currently has a total of nine rooms. When you open any of the rooms for the first time, you'll have to type in your desired player name. Then, you can proceed to buy tickets for the game and access the actual Pragmatic Play's bingo lobby. In the lobby, you're able to have up to three rooms open simultaneously.

I recommend always opening the actual bingo lobby to see the next game rounds because what you see on Swanky Bingo's game listing isn't correct. For example, to me, it showed that the next possible round would start in 3 hours in Zoom Room. When I opened the Pragmatic Play's lobby (by clicking on any of the room thumbnails) I started to see only minutes and seconds for when the next rounds were starting.

In the lobby, you're able to quick buy, pre-buy, and buy tickets for any of the rooms with ease. The cheapest tickets start from 1p each, and the most expensive tickets cost 25p. Naturally, the more you pay per ticket, the better the possible winnings too. On each room's info box, you can see the current progressive pot along with the fixed jackpot.

I do like Pragmatic Play's bingo rooms, and they are present in many of the best bingo sites we have reviewed. I think they're nicely designed, look very clean, and are easy to understand. Buying tickets is hassle-free, and there's just something to be able to choose your own dauber shape and colour.

Swanky Bingo is bursting at the seams with other games. There are slots, table games, live dealer games, jackpots, slingo games, scratchers... You name it, Swanky's got it. Here, you've got 2,500+ games from a number of providers, which include such studios as NetEnt, Elk Studios, Big Time Gaming, Foxium, Yggdrasil, Red Tiger, Playtech, NextGen, Pragmatic Play, Playson, Quickspin, Slingo, Wazdan, and Eyecon.

As great as the game selection is here, Swanky Bingo makes the same mistake as so many other sites with a huge game library. They haven't designed the game lobby to carry such a massive catalogue, so it's very awkward to browse through the categories.

I had some hopes of at least marking games as my favourites since there is a category called 'My Faves', but it's just a random collection of 20 games and no real possibility to tag games as faves. Why having this category at all is beyond my comprehension.

There is a search option, but naturally, it only works if you know what you're looking for. A library of this calibre should have fine-tuned filters and sorters, but now it feels more like just randomly stumbling on each game.

For jackpot fans, Swanky Bingo offers roughly 60 titles, such as Shopping Spree, Ozwin's Jackpot, and Fluffy Mega Jackpot. Sadly, I didn't spot any of my old favourites here, like NetEnt's Mega Fortune or any other really notable progressive jackpots.

Swanky Bingo has done a good job with the banking methods. Available here are debit cards, e-wallets, and pay by mobile. The smallest possible amount you're allowed to deposit is £5 on selected methods, and the minimum withdrawal is £10.

Note, that if you wish to claim the welcome bonus, you need to deposit £10 or more.

Swanky Bingo charges a withdrawal fee of £2.50 every time. So, if you would withdraw £100, you would get £97.50 to your account. They also charge an additional £2.50 fee if use phone deposits and deposit £5. It's quite annoying to find a pay by phone bingo site that accepts small deposits and then have to pay a 50% fee.

I'm also not a fan of the cashier of Swanky Bingo, as it doesn't let me type in my desired amount of deposit. Instead, I have to select a deposit amount from a few choices that, for PayPal, are either £10, £20, £50, £100, £200, £500, or £1,000.

Swanky Bingo's average withdrawal time is 4-5 business days, which is slow compared to other UK bingo sites.

The biggest issue here is the processing time. Swanky Bingo reserves up to 72 hours to process your request before actually paying the money. After which, you need to wait even more depending on the transfer method used.

Here are the estimated transfer speeds for each withdrawal method:

• Mastercard: 3-5 working days
• Visa: 3-5 working days
• Maestro: 3-5 working days
• Skrill: 3-5 working days
• Neteller: 3-5 working days
• PayPal: 1-3 working days
• Bank Transfer: 3-5 working days

• Email support: ✅
• Live support: ❌
  
• Phone support: ❌

Like all other Jumpman websites, Swanky Bingo's support leaves much to be desired. There is no live or phone support available, so your only options are to check the FAQ page or send an email to support@swankybingo.com.

I think that today not having live chat support is just out of the question. When I'm in trouble and need help, I want to be able to get a hold of an agent on the spot, not send them an email and wait 24 hours for a reply.

Luckily, the majority of online bingo sites do offer live chat as well as phone support. So, there's no reason to stick with Swanky Bingo if this level of customer support isn't enough for you.

When I registered to Swanky Bingo, I didn't have to verify my account right away. I could even make a deposit without giving the site my ID.

You can't make a withdrawal before your account is verified.

You can send your documents at any time by logging in to your account and selecting 'Upload documents'. There is a secure link for uploading a photo ID, after which there is a separate section for uploading proof of address using either a utility bill or bank statement.

Swanky Bingo may ask for additional documents later, such as proof of payment.

Swanky Bingo offers some tools for responsible gambling, of which I consider the deposit limits to be the easiest solution and recommend everyone to utilise them. You can set daily, weekly or rolling monthly deposit limits to make sure you don't spend more than you originally intended.

Additionally, you can set a reality check, self-exclusion, or take a break between 24 hours and 6 weeks.

Please gamble responsibly.

But if you are in the mood for something else, you can take a look at these other bingo sites.

• mFortune Bingo: mFortune Bingo is a small bingo site that fits in your pocket. It was originally made to be a simple mobile bingo site, but they focused too much on the simple.
• Bingo Loft: Bingo Loft is a solid bingo site with a lot to offer. In addition to the several bingo rooms, they have daily promotions and free bingo available.
