Grimms Bingo review

This site is now closed. Check our list of the best Cozy Games sites still open. 

Grimms Bingo has a fantastic, fairy tale style which naturally calls upon the Brothers Grimm. With a Swedish language option to boot, this Cozy Games site (those who brought us Nugget Bingo and Biscuit Bingo) feels very European. Will your time here be like a fairy tale, or just a bit grim?

The background art at Grimms Bingo is excellent, portraying a full-page landscape that looks like something from Lord of the Rings. They use a fantasy font and icons to build up a feeling of being in a Brothers Grimm fairy tale, with some modern touches like animated tiles.

On the downside, the welcome text on the home page repeats itself a lot and has a broken link on the loyalty section, so a little more attention to detail is needed. Overall, the site is easy to navigate, with some extras like floating buttons to make it easy to reach support. Looks great, just needs some maintenance.

Grimms Bingo has a good support team which are patient and thorough. The site lets you find them easily through a contact page and a quick button on all pages.
You have the options of email, live chat, ticket and phone, which is a 24/7 line.

The ticket system is good for non-urgent matters. This a useful, complete set of help methods and easy to reach, so Grimms Bingo has done a good job here.

The welcome bonus at Grimms Bingo is huge, with 500% on your first deposit, then 350% on your second and 300% on your third. You can claim hundreds at a time and the wagering requirement is a fair 4x on bingo and 10x on slots. Better still, there’s £10 just for registering a card, to try the site out.

The promotions here are the usual Cozy Games Live Bingo Network stock but they do include some fun things like big bingo jackpots and chat parties. You may find the odd extra on their Facebook page too.

The Grimms Bingo lobby is built into the main site. Rooms are arranged into a neat list, so it’s easy to use but lacking a bit of sparkle. The bingo game itself is simple and effective, but the caller is a little fuzzy and you can’t size up the room to full screen very well.

On the plus side, you get a good chat system here and you should have no problems finding a chatty room or a host. Mini games can be accessed at any time for a quick spin of the reels.

There is a mobile page at Grimms Bingo to tell you what they offer and how to connect, which is really useful for newcomers. They do not have any apps, but you can visit the site on your tablet or mobile browser. This should work for the vast majority of devices.

The mobile site is a little basic unfortunately, lacking a full bingo display or chat. It’s fine for a little slot play or grabbing some tickets for a quick flutter.

Grimms Bingo is licensed and regulated by the Isle of Man Gambling Commission and the UK Gambling Commission. The site’s security is guaranteed by Trustwave, so your personal information is well protected.

The site also has the iTech Labs seal of approval for their game fairness, plus there’s a useful responsible gaming section that can help you avoid problem gambling.

There’s a good mixture of game types at Grimms Bingo, including 90 ball, 80 ball, 75 ball, 50 ball and 30 ball. There are thirteen rooms in all, including some free bingo and rooms that just open for big jackpots. The £1,000 super jackpot game is very attractive.

The slots selection is pretty average, but there are tons of games, so you’re bound to find one you enjoy. The overall game selection here is good, but it doesn’t stand out.

The cashier system at Grimms Bingo is nice and easy to use. You can simply pick an amount, then a bonus to go with it, and you’re all set. Withdrawing takes a speedy 2-3 working days but the minimum is a little high at £30.

Payment methods accepted include the usual debit and credit cards like MasterCard and Visa, plus you can use Neteller and PaySafeCard. Some more methods are needed to boost the site’s profile.

Grimms Bingo uses a pretty standard loyalty scheme which you’ll see on other Cozy sites. This is a four-tier system which you rise through as you collect loyalty points, for playing the games. Loyalty points can be exchanged for credit too.

Going up the ranks only has the benefit of unlocking bigger deposit rewards, so while it is useful, it’s not all that attractive. The system could use more of a VIP feel.

Grimms Bingo has a fun style, with a theme that stands out. The Swedish language option is a plus point that will of course attract players, but the site still needs a little polish. Once you get into the games, there’s nothing here that you can’t find elsewhere, but it should be said that the quality is high. Overall, this is a fun site with active chatters, so if you like a little old-world charm then you’ll have a fun time here.
