What we recommend instead
Rovers Bingo Verdict
Rovers Bingo is a nice site, but it doesn’t do much to stand out. While the theme is fun and it’s good to see some art on promotions, the site has no special games, not much variety and also lacks in certain departments like payment options. A good enough site for a flutter, but not very competitive.
Percentage score
Design & Usability
When you arrive at Rovers Bingo, you will instantly see their fun dog mascot. This cartoon canine (undoubtedly Rover himself) is a nice little mascot, plus he stars on a couple of their promotions. The site is bright and blue, with an animated wheel to promote their unusual welcome bonus. A very nice looking site, but no special bells and whistles.
Getting around the site is nice and easy, though the registration process could be a little quicker. You’ll find the site clearly signposted and user-friendly.
Software & Gameplay
Rovers Bingo has a neat lobby which arranges everything by tab. The rooms could use a little artwork to differentiate them a bit. You can easily reach your account controls.
The bingo rooms are well laid out but you do have to close mini games if you want a full-sized chat window. Unfortunately, the rooms are a little quiet here and you may not always find a host around, but this should be better during the evenings.
Safety & Security
Rovers Bingo is licensed and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission and you can see details of this license on their website, so everything is clear and above board here.
The site also has the SQS logo, so it has been tested for safety and security. The site’s main security certificate is out of date, but you will find full SSL encryption on the cashier section protecting your transactions. There’s also a good responsible gaming guide.
Payments & Withdrawals
You can access a simple on-page cashier at Rovers Bingo, with a very direct form that won’t take you moments to complete. The system could look a little nicer but it’s perfectly functional. The minimum withdrawal is £30 and it can take upwards of 7 working days, way over average.
While this site accepts debit and credit cards in the form of MasterCard, Visa, Maestro, Solo and Switch, they do not accept any form of pre-paid card or e-wallets. This puts them significantly far behind the competition.
Customer Support
The help section at Rovers Bingo is a little bland, having a lot of text information to explain things, but no design per se. Still, you can see the phone number and email address clearly. It’s unclear what times and days the phones are manned.
The site is lacking live chat support unfortunately, which is a turn off for some players. Still, the site has useful FAQs and the team seem to be on the ball.
Bonuses & Promotions
You have access to a fun welcome bonus at Rovers Bingo, which you may have seen at other Jumpman sites. You get £20 bonus credit for a £10 deposit, then a spin of the wheel which can give you from £5 to £2500 extra credit! This could lead to massive extra cash to play with. Note of course that this money has a wagering requirement attached, which is 4x on bingo games.
The site promotions are all very clearly labelled with information and terms, which is a big plus point. They offer a modest but fun £300 weekend jackpot, a monthly £1000 jackpot and the chance to win a takeaway each Friday! The offers could be a little stronger but they have a fun vibe and use the Rovers Bingo artwork.
Device Compatibility
There is no mobile page at Rovers Bingo to direct new players, or any apps. However, you can access this site on other devices, by using their browsers. Most mobile and tablet devices should be able to do this.
The mobile site is very easy to use, though it doesn’t really reflect the main site. You don’t get much of a bingo view, plus there’s no chat; it’s more like a simple ticket buying interface. All the rooms are accessible, at least. A well-made but basic experience.
Variety & Originality
Rovers Bingo has a handy room chart which tells you their humble bingo offering; four 90 ball rooms and two 75 ball. While of course more variety would be better, there’s enough here to get stuck into. A couple of those rooms are limited to certain times, plus one is a free bingo on at 9am to 1pm. The main 24-hour room, Lucky Stars, has varying prices from 1p to £1. Some may prefer this to be split up in different rooms. Sadly, there are no rooms unique to Rovers Bingo.
The slot selection is pretty good, offering some nicely drawn games like Jurassic Juniors, but no major names.
Loyalty & Rewards
The loyalty programme here is called Rovers Rewards and revolves around you earning loyalty points as you play. You can cash these in for bonus codes, free tickets, bonus cash, gifts and more. This is a very interesting system and should be rewarding if you stick around.
The site also has a VIP of the Month award, which can net you a £50 shopping voucher, but it’s a wagering competition so requires quite a bit of dedication. There are no signs of more generous rewards for big spenders.
