Robinhood Bingo Review:

Launched in 2012, Robin Hood Bingo is owned by Daub Alderney Ltd but operated by Cassava Enterprises Limited (888). The significance of 888’s stewardship of Robin Hood Bingo is that you will be able to play bingo games on the excellent Dragonfish Network, not to mention get access to plenty of great casino and slot games. Bingo promos and bonuses can also be found in abundance at Robin Hood Bingo.

Bingo site reviewers and players are often keen to cite Robin Hood Bingo’s operator, 888, as a model for open and accessible information on fair gaming and security. In fact, you will find lots of links on fair gaming practices on the Robin Hood Bingo homepage. This includes a certificate of payout reports from eCOGRA, widely regarded as one of the world’s foremost testers of casino games and software.

The safety of your details and transactions are also given top priority, using an SSL certificate (provided by Verisign) to ensure all your information is encrypted. In terms of licensing, Robin Hood Bingo’s site is accredited by the UK Gambling Commission and Gibraltar Gambling Commissioner (for overseas players). It should also be noted that Robin Hood Bingo proudly wears a five-star rating from Trust Pilot on its homepage.

A wide range of payment methods are available to you at Robin Hood Bingo, including the increasingly popular Apple Pay. Interestingly, they have also an option to contact customer service by telephone and make the payment that way, a nice option for those who are reluctant to use online payments. The ability to withdraw and deposit just £5 will also suit players on a budget.

At first glance, Robin Hood Bingo offers one of the best online bingo promotions for new players. The welcome package, which is based on a minimum £10 deposit, offers 400% matched value of bonus credit (up to £100) and 50 free spins on selected slots. Objectively, that’s a generous offer and significantly bigger than the majority of rival bingo sites.

There are a couple of snags though: The bingo bonus money and initial deposit must be played through four times before the bonus becomes real, withdrawable cash. Thus, a bonus of £50 would require a £200 spend on bingo games.  However, you can withdraw the value of your initial deposit whenever you like.

The 50 free spins come in batches of 10, added to your Robin Hood Bingo account over the first five days of membership. The first batch of free spins are for Kingdom of Cash, followed by 99time, White Wizard, Irish Luck and Fluffy Favourites on the subsequent days. Free spins winnings, which are capped at a (very low) maximum of £12.50, are added to a games bonus balance – requiring a further 50x wagering before a withdrawal is allowed. The cap and wagering requirements feel a bit onerous to us, so the free spins should probably be viewed as a way to explore different slot games rather than a means to win serious cash.

On the plus side, you can play free bingo online at Robin Hood Bingo for the first three days after registering. No deposit is required to get three days access to the Biggie Room, but you can free bingo in other, more lucrative, rooms if you make a cash deposit. For example, a £30 first deposit will grant two days of bingo for free in the Ultra Room and a £50 deposit will grant two days access to the Deluxe Room. Aside from offers for new players, Robin Hood Bingo is also committed to giving out daily bingo offers, such as free tickets, BOGOF games, cashback offers and free spins for slots.

Robin Hood Bingo’s special offers for VIP players should also get a mention. Membership to the Diamond Club is by invitation only, although you can ‘fast-track’ it by contacting customer service if you have been a VIP elsewhere. Members’ benefits include bigger bonuses, personal account management and up to 15% cashback a month.

The Dragonfish bingo network is one of the best around, connecting Robin Hood Bingo players to players, games and jackpots from over 150 other sites around the internet. There is lots in the way of 90-Ball bingo and 75-ball bingo, with games like Penny Express, Sweet Wins and Forest Fun (all 90-ball) and Moonalicious and Gimme More (75-ball bingo). There is perhaps a bit too much emphasis put on the 75-ball and 90-ball bingo variants, but the lack of 80 and 50-ball and other bingo variants is made up for with options of Swedish Bingo (52-ball) and plenty of Bingo LynX games. In total, there are 23 main bingo rooms. This will include seasonal bingo rooms, like Santa’s Stash and New Year Jackpot, or the rooms that host the various daily, weekly and monthly jackpot.

The selection of slots and casino games is also one of Robin Hood Bingo’s strongest points. There are over 400 instant play slot games, including popular titles like Fluffy Favourites, Rainbow Riches, Foxin’ Wins and Cleopatra. Unlike most bingo sites, Robin Hood Bingo also has a selection of live dealer casino games, including Live Roulette and Blackjack from Evolution Gaming. Best of all, Robin Hood Bingo offers a whopping 56 progressive jackpot slots – more than most dedicated online casino sites. You will also find a couple of dozen arcade-style games, like Keno and Slingo Riches, as well as 16 instant win scratchcards.

Robin Hood Bingo offers a neat bingo app, available for both Android and iOS smartphones and tablets.  We should also note that Robin Hood Bingo has a mobile responsive bingo site, which you can play on if you don’t want to download the app. The Robin Hood Bingo app has most of the great games and features found on the desktop site, including all the options for those free bingo rooms for new players. Moreover, Robin Hood Bingo’s excellent array of jackpot bingo games are also available on the app.

Not all the slots games make it on the bingo app, but there are still well over 250 slots, including top mobile slot titles like Starburst, Jumanji, Twin Spin and Warlords. Indeed, an impressive 55 progressive jackpot slots can be played on the Robin Hood Bingo mobile app, as well as plenty of casino (live and virtual) table games.
