What we recommend instead
Champagne Bingo Verdict
Champagne Bingo has a smooth, sophisticated style which will be refreshing for some players who are sick of cartoonish bingo websites. Unfortunately, as with many sites, the games and offers under the hood don’t really reflect the design of the main site. Still, you get very high quality software here which other sites struggle to compete with. Well worth checking out and joining in chat.

Design & Usability
The design of this site is quite striking, because it opts for understated elegance rather than big, bold graphics. You have a white and pink colour scheme and some gentle bubble animation, plus champagne flutes. It’s a little text heavy but in a good way, standing out as a more serious site than those with cartoonish graphics.
The site is easy to get around, but it’s hard to tell sometimes if it’s meant to be understated or just lacks flair. They could use some more images and colour. Still, you can’t go far wrong with this minimalist site. You can access their Facebook page from a handy link on the main navigation bar, but they haven’t updated it in years.
Software & Gameplay
Champagne Bingo has Dragonfish software and you can expect a good game from this. The lobby pops up and has a side bar with all your details, along with account controls. The main section is mostly ads, but they look great, with quality artwork and a background.
Some rooms open up with great animations and the bingo setup is well thought out. The whole screen space is used so that there’s no issue with mini games, bingo and chat colliding. You should also have no problems finding a host and chatty roomies, which is always a huge plus point.
Safety & Security
Champagne Bingo is fully licensed and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission and Gibraltar government. The site is fully secure and uses 128-bit SSL encryption to protect your information and transactions.
This site also has the eCOGRA seal, which ensures that they are tested for safety and fairness. You also have access to a thorough responsible gaming section and controls to help you curb spending.
Payments & Withdrawals
You have access to a fair mix of payment methods at Champagne Bingo. These include the usual credit and debit cards, Neteller, PayPal, PaySafeCard and EntroPay, plus there’s phone banking and wire transfer. Something for everyone there.
The cashier can be found in your account section which is a little bland, so you might not spot the button at first. Still, it’s pretty easy to follow and has its own support system.
Customer Support
You have a contact page at the top right of Champagne Bingo, which leads you to some useful guides and their main contact methods. These are email, phone and ‘instant help’ which is a help room within chat itself. This is handy but it’s still a shame that they don’t have live chat. On the plus side, the number is 24/7 and toll free in the UK.
Support staff are very friendly but you may be waiting a little while.
Bonuses & Promotions
Promotions at Champagne Bingo are taken from a template set used on other Cassava sites. It’s a shame there’s nothing unique or featuring the site theme, but they are still good offerings. You can take part in several regular jackpot events, including a monthly 10k bingo. They have chat parties and ways to win free spins on the slots.
The welcome bonus is a 150% deposit match, up to £100. This is pretty straightforward and has to be wagered four times before you can withdraw, which is average.
Device Compatibility
Champagne Bingo is lacking a mobile page to explain their functionality on various devices, plus they have no app offering. Nevertheless, you can access the site from a mobile phone, simply by visiting on your browser.
The mobile site uses a standard template, but this is actually of very high quality so while it isn’t strictly ‘Champagne Bingo’, you can have a good game of both bingo and slots. You even have chat functionality.
Variety & Originality
The bingo rooms are a standard set so they aren’t special here, but they are a fun bunch. There’s plenty of choice, over fifteen rooms playing all different prices. Some of these are special jackpot rooms that open daily or weekly, including big link games, plus there’s four free bingo rooms. You have a choice of 75 ball, 90 ball and 5-line bingo.
Slots are good here too, plus they get updated seasonally. The quality is high overall. Originality is lacking, but variety is strong.
Loyalty & Rewards
The VIP programme here is nice and clear, a four-tier loyalty plan from Rookie to Champ. You can begin climbing right away with any small deposit. You need jewels to climb the tiers, which you get from depositing.
Higher tiers give access to free tickets to the 10k jackpot bingo, free spins on slots and cashback. The offerings are above the basic, but also not all that exciting or luxurious.
