Chit Chat Bingo Bingo Site Review

The name may not be familiar to everyone, but Chit Chat Bingo has been around in one form or another for over a decade now. Originally part of the Boss Bingo network, the site later switched to IGT before settling with Dragonfish on the Globalcom network. This gives access to high-quality games of 90-ball and 75-ball bingo, as well as a few 52-ball specials.

With 30 bingo rooms to choose from, your biggest decision which will be which one to try first. Tickets are priced from just 1p, although free games are always available in Daily Doozey and On the House. These games may be free to play, but that doesn’t mean you won’t come across some big prizes – £1K Magical Mondays is a big attraction for obvious reasons!

Fans of 90-ball bingo can explore Wow Free Spins, Late Night Show and The Big £10,000. If 75-ball games are more your style you can head for Bounce’T or Roller Coaster, with a couple of progressive jackpot games in High 5 and Big Fat 10. There’s a Daily Jackpot every day of the week, including £1,500 Terrific Tuesdays and £500 Wacky Wednesdays, so players in search of bigger prizes will always find something to aim for.

The Royal Room is a particular attraction at Chit Chat Bingo, as it’s unlocked for loyal customers throughout the week. Some days are exclusively for players who’ve made a recent qualifying deposit, whilst others are reserved for long-term members who’ve climbed high enough up the loyalty levels to trigger an invitation.

Slots

You’d expect to find at least a handful of slot machine games at most online bingo sites, as they’re a popular way of whiling away time while you’re waiting for your bingo room to open. You might find it hard to drag yourself away from what’s on offer at Chit Chat Bingo, with over 500 slots, all from well-known developers, including NetEnt, Microgaming and Bally.

In addition to player favourites such as Starburst, Rainbow Riches and Big Bass Bonanza, you’ll also find all the latest releases, so there’s always going to be something new to explore. A few basic menu headings are provided, including New games and Trending games, but you can also search by name, if you already have a slot in mind.

You’ll need to seek out Megaways games using the search function, along with jackpot games – although there’s a great collection of Fluffy Favourite Super Jackpot games,  with some big progressive payouts. If you can’t decide whether to play bingo or slots, Chit Chat Bingo offers the perfect mix of both, thanks to a comprehensive collection of Slingo games. The only thing you won’t find here is an online casino, so there are no opportunities to try your luck at Roulette or any table games.

With a name like Chit Chat Bingo you could reasonably expect plenty of socialising to be going on, and we’re pleased to report that you’ll find plenty of chances to engage with fellow players. Many games come with chat rooms, so you can catch up on all the latest gossip in between games, just like in a bricks-and-mortar bingo club. Chat moderators are on hand to keep things ticking over, with occasional chat games to add some extra excitement – plus the chance to win some extra prizes.

Some of the big jackpot and network games can get pretty crowded, so they’re not the best starting point for complete newbies. With such a huge choice of bingo rooms, there’s always the chance to search for quieter games with fewer players, so you can brush up on your chat etiquette and bingo lingo before joining in with the livelier groups.

Everyone who signs up for a Chit Chat Bingo account can receive a daily bonus, but there’s a £10 deposit required to activate it. You can expect deposit match offers, as well as free bingo tickets and plenty of free spins too. Check out the site’s Promotions page for any seasonal offers and time-sensitive bonuses.

Chit Chat Bingo also boasts a loyalty programme, with gameplay and deposits driving you up through the tiers. The higher you climb, the better the bonuses, with access to exclusive rooms and games, as well as the chance to enter into slot tournaments.

The UK has banned credit card payments at online bingo sites, but you can deposit and withdraw at Chit Chat Bingo using debit cards and PayPal. You can also pay over the phone using a dedicated freephone number that’s available from 8am to midnight throughout the week. There’s a minimum deposit requirement of £10 for all payment methods, and funds should be available within your Chit Chat account balance pretty much instantly.

There are no transaction fees and the site will action player withdrawal requests for £5 or more. It can take up to 48 hours to approve a withdrawal, although once all ID verification checks have been completed the process may speed up considerably. It could take an additional 5 business days for fund to reach your account, depending on your financial provider’s processing times.

Although there’s an FAQ section at Chit Chat Bingo, we didn’t find it particularly useful, as it only answers a very limited range of questions. If you need any help or advice, you’ll receive the fastest response from the freephone helpline number, which is available from 10am – 2am every day, including weekends.

There’s no live chat function, but chat moderators will often be able to answer questions about playing games on the site, and point you in the right direction for further assistance. You also have the option of filling in a contact form, although you might have to wait up to 72 hours for a response.

Staying safe when gambling online is big news right now, so Chit Chat Bingo has made sure to include plenty of useful tools and resources to enable players to take charge of their gameplay. It’s easy to set deposit limits, and time limits, if you’re worried about the amount of time you’re spending online.
