Flog It Bingo Review

If you’re wondering what sort of a theme a site named Flog It Bingo might be inspired by, you’re not alone. It would appear that a used car dealership is the inspiration for the bingo site, a concept which doesn’t exactly lend itself to convincing players that your gaming site is a reputable establishment where the customer is king. The site’s mascot is a top hat-wearing...a top hat-wearing something or other. It could be a beetle but then again it could be a bear. It really is hard to tell.

In the background of the homepage, behind the lurid spinning wheel that dominates proceedings, there’s a series of cars parked on the grass (hence the used car salesman theory) and some pop-up stalls that appear to be selling poker chips. Perhaps our bear/beetle mascot is in fact a used poker chip salesman. Whatever the case, he’s a useful dodgy geezer to know if you’re a sucker for a bargain.

About Flog It Bingo

Flog It Bingo specialises in 90-ball and 75-ball bingo with a few slots and instant games on the side. It’s operated by Jumpman Gaming Limited who own scores of bingo sites. Most of these have a distinctive theme, but the company were clearly running out of ideas when it came to Flog It Bingo. Never mind: it’s the games and promotions that matter, and there are plenty of those to be found on the site.

Flog It Bingo was founded in 2015 using bingo software that was developed in-house. Jumpman Gaming, who are based in Alderney on the Isle of Man, like to do everything themselves, from development to hosting. The site’s servers are located at a secure facility in Guernsey and the site’s games have been independently tested to ensure fair play. If you need to get hold of a member of the site’s customer support team, you can email them or call their UK phone number.

Banking

Jumpman Gaming aren’t a big fan of ewallets and other alternative payment methods. Instead, players who sign up at their various websites, Flog It Bingo included, can choose to use credit or debit card in the form of Visa Debit, Visa Credit, Visa Electron, Maestro, MasterCard and Solo. Naturally card is your only option when it comes to making withdrawals too.

Withdrawal requests take 48 hours to be processed and then there’s a wait of 7-14 days for funds to show up on your card. It’s never made clear why it takes longer for card payments to clear at Jumpman Gaming sites than at any other gambling sites. The minimum amount you can withdraw at a time is set at £30 and there’s a requirement that you submit identification documents before your first withdrawal is made.

Bonuses

When you sign up at Flog It Bingo and deposit your first £10, you’ll receive a 200% bonus match. In addition, you’ll be entitled to one spin of the bonus wheel which gives you the chance to win up to £2,500 in bonus cash. Other sums the wheel may stop on are £200, £20 and £5. Once you’ve joined, you’ll also be eligible to play in the Newbies Free Bingo Room which is open from 8pm - 11pm daily.

The remaining promotions to be claimed at Flog It Bingo mostly revolve around free admission to certain bingo games and bingo prizes that have been bumped in value, as is the case with Monday Madness, which sees the value of the full house and one line prizes reversed between the hours of 4pm and 7pm. Bargain hunters will also want to check out the Fair & Square game which is hosted at 8pm on Wednesdays. Tickets cost just a penny and there’s £100 in prizes to be won.

Become a VIP

Flog It Bingo’s VIP scheme has five tiers to it: Member, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Black. As you climb up the rankings, you’ll become eligible for increasingly enticing bonuses. Every time you make a deposit, you’ll be awarded stars. The more stars you earn, the higher your VIP ranking will become. Perks include exclusive bingo games, birthday bonuses, mystery gifts and cashback.

Bingo

90-ball and 75-ball bingo can be played at Flog It Bingo in a variety of rooms which can be accessed via the games lobby once logged in. With the 90-ball game, there are three opportunities to win: by being the first to score one line, two lines or full house. 27 squares are set out on a 3x9 grid and each bingo card contains numbers ranging between 1 and 90. As for the US version of the game, 75-ball bingo, cards comprise a 5x5 grid with numbers ranging between 1 and 75. The first player to mark off all the numbers of the specific pattern marked on their card wins the game.

Patterns that can be played in the site’s 75-ball bingo games include letters of the alphabet, an egg, a dollar sign, a glass of fizz, a xmas tree and a smiley face. There’s all kinds of tempting bingo games to be played such as Friday Fortune, which costs 10p per ticket and has a £250 prize plus the prospect of winning the community jackpot. On the last day of each month, there’s a healthy £2,000 to be won playing the Pay Day Jackpot Game. Then there are the VIP jackpot games, one of which is hosted on the first Saturday of every month with £500 to be won.

Slots

There are over 50 slots to be played at Flog It Bingo including the likes of Fluffy Favourites, which has a progressive jackpot and the potential for you to win 100x your stake. Shaman’s Dream is another game that’s repped heavily on the site along with Temple of Isis, Irish Luck and Sugar Train. Cutesy and whimsical, these slots are fun to play, even if Irish Luck isn’t much to look at. The remaining games aren’t disclosed, not without being logged in at least, but expect lots of 5-reel slots and possibly some scratch cards too if you’re lucky.

Conclusion

Flog It Bingo isn’t the most natural feeling bingo site in the world, possibly due to its ambiguous theme that makes it hard to get a sense of what the site stands for. While many bingo sites are pink, fluffy and furnished with candy, doughnuts and other trappings that are deemed to appeal to women, Flog It Bingo just looks awkward. The site’s mascot – the ladybird or dog or whatever he’s meant to be – isn’t particularly endearing, and the whole site feels a little flat.

That said, beneath the surface, everything works here just as well as it does at other Jumpman Gaming sites. The slots are fine, if nothing special, and the bingo games are agreeably diverse. You can’t really fault the ticket prices or the jackpots themselves, which seem more than reasonable. The criticisms that can be levelled against this site are the same ones that can be levelled against all Jumpman Gaming sites: the same old slots, not enough deposit options and withdrawals taking too long to clear. Aside from these gripes however, Flog It Bingo is fine.
