Iconic Bingo Review

There are many words that could be used to describe Iconic Bingo, but iconic is not one of them. The site can charitably be described as “interesting” and uncharitably as “a bunch of spaghetti on a page”. The site’s operators, Cassava Enterprises, are known for their smart and functional (if unexciting) bingo and casino websites. Iconic Bingo is a different beast though, one with pop-up text, floating balloons and clouds that languidly drift by. Some of this stuff, like the cloud effects, is quite nice. Others, like the oversized leprechaun and cheap looking logo, aren’t so great.

Among the many egregious web design failures that can be levelled against Iconic Bingo is lines of text that don’t fit into the box they’ve been designed for, resulting in a messy and fragmented looking homepage that hurts the eyes. Things do improve slightly however once you scroll past the fold and reach the relative calm of the lower half of the site. Down here, Iconic Bingo looks more iconic and less frantic. Ah, that’s better. But why couldn’t the top half of the site be like that? It’s down here, in the lower portion of the page, that you’ll learn of the casino games that can be played – over 100 titles in all – that provide welcome respite from the bingo.

About Iconic Bingo

Iconic Bingo is a site that supplies bingo and casino games in equal measure. Cassava Enterprises Ltd, the site’s operators, run countless similar websites, all aimed at British players and all stocked with broadly the same games and promotions. The company are registered in Gibraltar and hold a license issued by the Gibraltar Gambling Commissioner. 888 UK Ltd operate the company’s UK services and are the holders of a license granted by the UK Gambling Commission. In the EU, the same role is performed by Virtual Digital Services Limited.

All of the games to be found on Iconic Bingo have been independently tested to ensure fair play and honest payouts. The site provides its members with a secure means of funding their accounts thanks to 128-bit SSL encryption. Iconic Bingo is an extremely new arrival on the market, having launched in late 2016. At the same time, it launched a string of social media channels to spread the word. Whether these are still being maintained six months down the line remains to be seen, but for now at least you can keep up to date on the site’s latest happenings via Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Google+, LinkedIn and more.

Iconic Banking

There doesn’t appear to be a banking page at Iconic Bingo; instead there’s a rolling ticker across the bottom of the page displaying logos of the various payment methods. These comprise Visa, MasterCard, Maestro, Entropay, PayPal, Paysafecard and Neteller. Withdrawal requests take 48 hours to be processed, after which it’ll take 4-7 days for funds to appear on your card. Wire transfer can take considerably longer.

Are the Bonuses Iconic?

New players at Iconic Bingo can claim a free £5 no deposit bingo bonus plus 5 free spins. This offer is subject to a 6x wagering requirement before it can be cashed out to a maximum value of £100. When it comes to making your first deposit at the site, there’s a 500% bingo bonus waiting to be claimed, yours when you deposit £10. The remainder of the promotions to be claimed at Iconic Bingo are the same ones that can be found at all Cassava Enterprises bingo websites. These include a Happy Hour promo which runs from 4-6pm on Mondays and Spin-Tastic, which naturally involves free spins.

Late Night Show is a bingo game for night owls, held at 0:45 every night, with up to £100 in prize money to be won. There’s also the 2 Million Race, a badly explained promotion whose top prizes comprise two million loyalty points. Then there’s Weekender, a bingo room stocked with £700 in prizes that’s open to players who’ve made a single deposit of £50 in the past week and The Big £10k, a bingo game that runs on the 10th of every month with £10,000 in prize money to be won.

Bingo Variety

90-ball and 75-ball bingo are the two games to be played at Iconic Bingo because these are the two games that Cassava Enterprises deal in. The pair provide more than enough variety, thrills and spills to keep most players content. 90-ball bingo, after all, is the version most commonly played in the UK.

Head to the bingo lobby at Iconic Bingo and you’ll find a series of countdown timers denoting how long you’ve got to purchase tickets before the next game starts. You shouldn’t have to wait more than a couple of minutes to get involved, whatever time you rock up at.

Tickets are priced between 1p and £1 depending on the value of the jackpot at stake; 5p or 10p are the norm. It’s possible to purchase blocks of tickets for a single bingo game to maximise your prospects of winning. Bingo rooms include such maverick names as On the house, 90s Extreme, Chatterbox and Roller Coaster. There’s also the Freebie room, where tickets don’t cost a penny yet there are still cash prizes to be won.

Iconic Choice of Slots

One area where Iconic Bingo excels is with its slots. There’s more than 100 to choose from and games are designed to work on mobile as well as on desktop. Browse the selection on offer and you’ll find plenty of satisfying branded slots such as Guns N Roses, Superman: Last Son of Krypton, Kiss and Bruce Lee. These are complemented by a series of cutesy and fantasy themed games, in keeping with the site’s demographic. Roll the reels of Rainforest Dream, Golden Goddess, Angels Touch and Koi Princess.

Jackpot Games

The jackpot games at Iconic Bingo are equally good; progressive slots are usually dismal looking affairs, but the ones to be played here look far more colourful and inventive. Titles include Jackpot Jockey, Mermaid’s Pearl, Snack Time and White Wizard. Unfortunately it’s not possible to view the value of the progressive pot assigned to each game while browsing through this category.

More to Keep You Entertained

There are plenty of other games to be found at Iconic Bingo covering most of the casino classics you’d hope to see. This includes a lot of video poker including Deal or No Deal along with Blackjack, Baccarat, Roulette, Keno and Poker. There’s a limited selection of live casino games too in the form of two roulette games staffed by real dealers. Iconic Bingo hasn’t neglected fans of scratch cards either, who are well catered to thanks to around a dozen options such as Barn Ville, Cops and Robbers, Cash Cuisine and Dragon Scrolls.

Iconic Conclusion

Iconic Bingo is a strange site in that it looks atrocious but actually proves to be very functional. If you can see past the cheap logo and a homepage whose top half is like something out of the late aughts, Iconic Bingo is a good place to play.

A banking page and some more imaginative promotions wouldn’t go amiss, but otherwise there’s plenty to recommend about this brand new bingo site and online casino.
